POF, been to a couple of camping weekends with a bunch of people from the site. They also have a forum and organise a night out, usually once a month.
Be totally honest on your profile.
Don't put in things like " enjoy going to the movies", instead put in what type of movies you like or your favourate actor and why.
A profile I created for a friend had a little section in it that refered to his height " You may have noticed already that i'm a shorty, well don't let that worry you, I'm not minime nor have a napoleon complex ". He had lots of messages just because of that.
A lot of people find it hard to write a profile about themselves, so sometimes it best to get a close friend to help out, as they can see you from a different point of view.
Best of luck

Ste.

Blimey I didnt realise how many people do actually use the sites!

Anyway I've written a profile, here goes :

I'm a single male, and have been for several years now as I haven't yet met my Mrs perfect. I am a man of many talents, I paint cars & bikes during the day which I absolutely love and DJ in the evenings and weekends!

I am a very kind, caring and committed person. I'm also quite adventurous and enjoy trying new things and going places I've never been to before. There's mountains of things I would like to do eventually, one of which being a skydive. The word ambitious sums me up too, sometimes I'm a little more than I should be but it never stops me trying, which I believe is most important to succeed in life.

I enjoy lots of different things whether it be a quiet night at a pub or an evening out bowling, as long as I've got good company I'm happy. I am easily pleased and never expect anything from anybody, i try not to take things for granted. I like to enjoy myself and be as happy as I can all the time.

I'm a qualified tradesman and love my job, I have my own crash repair body shop, I wouldn't change it for the world however there's something quite important missing, hence why I'm on here!

On sunny weekends I love to pack a bag and jump on the bike and its beach time!

I love traveling and would love to restore an old camper for myself one day and drive all around Europe and see other countries and cultures.

I'd love to meet somebody who would enjoy spending time with me and would share the experiences I have. I'm not a fussy bugger, I'd simply like to meet myself a lady who is caring, honest, faithful and would be excellent company for me. I am a good listener and also very good at talking, as some friends say!

If you would like to know more about me then please send me a message. x

How good, bad or ugly??

Sounds good, my only advice would be that it may be a tad long. It's good that you are honest and painting a picture for the person reading it but you also need to bear in mind that once you have grabbed a girl's attention you will need things to talk about so perhaps summing up a couple of paragraphs will help keep their attention and still give you things to talk about once they contact you or vice versa

Ok cool, I'll have a think about that today and do some alterations,

One thing I will ask is what is a good thing to say to a girl if I message her as hello how are you is a little boring

Well one thing I hated was when someone messaged me and asked me my profession on POF when it clrealy stated what I did lol. But a simple hello and how are you can go a long way, just make sure you read their profile and perhaps add something in the message such as oh I see you are into ...... or perhaps ask about her career if you are genuinely interested, even just a well I am new at this and you seemed nice and friendly so just a hello. Don't put "hi sexy" or " hello gorgeous" or "you're fit". Some girls may like it but then you are attracting the wrong ones. Oh and also your name at the end of your first message, always nice to know who you are talking to...

I got loads of advice so anything you want to know just ask
