What, if any, are the differences between messages women and men receive on POF?
‘Hey cutie, what’s up?’ might not be the best thing to send to a girl, but how does a guy feel about that?
So, in order to get some perspective on this, myself and a male co-worker at POF’s offices have compared inbox messages we’ve received from the opposite sex, and decoded them together.
So here it goes: Our own little thoughts, comments and disagreements over online dating messages.

 

“Hello”

reply1

“You are the most beautiful fish in the oceaaan 🙂 !!! How are you doing today?!?”

reply2

“Spell check? Whose got time for that? YOLO ;)”

reply3

“Nice pic.”

reply4

“Where in Germany are you from? I travelled through Europe this past year. Was an amazing experience.”

reply5

“Come. Sex. Meow.”

reply6

“Hey, my friend claims you’re a fake! I bet $20 that you are real. So what do you say?”

reply7

“What makes a girl real to you?”

reply8

“How’s your week so far? U have a nice smile:)”

reply9

“Peeked on your profile. Thought I’d say hi”

reply10

“(Insert loud buzzer noize!)”

    To be honest, I already knew but on POF those don’t work. Already tried the ‘ask a question’ message and nothing.
