Urgh- it looks like taboos, The Game. Total misogynistic bilge.

Not 'taboos'- 'that book'. Autocorrect, sorry.

Bloody hell.

He seems lovely.

I naively thought once that maybe getting to know blokes from my living room was a bit safer/better somehow. I think perhaps I was wrong!

I've never used OD because my impression is that a lot of the people on there are not what they claim and are using it as a cheap/lazy alternative to hiring hookers. Then again, meet random people in any other situation and you still have to keep your Twat Detectors set to 'stun'.

I googled POF out of nosiness - this is what came up

I need POF once, full of weirdos.

Apparently his techniques work '100% of the time, most of the time'. And he's the one claiming the women of POF lack intelligence...

Guessing that bloke is a sad virgin.....King Tosser!!

Actually, I think the article is pretty funny and should be mandatory reading for anyone embarking on this popular way to meet people. It shouldn't come as a shock to anyone that someone would deliberately lie and feign interest to get a roll in the hay .... hold the front page, it ain't.

Certainly is not, i knew a guy a while back who went to great lengths, didnt work though.

He's right about the height thing. Unless he was shorter or the same height as me I wouldn't notice a bloke has lied about his height.
Made interesting reading after the 52firstdates investigation.

I tried POF. Put me off men for a long while!

I knew women who used this site who were equally scathing about the male population. And yes, these women often would sleep with men on the first date.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but it did teach me that POF was to be avoided.

Disclaimer - I have no issue with anyone sleeping around/or on a first date, they are adults and can do as they please.

My issue was that these women would do so to prove their theories or to compare willy sizes. It just seemed like a really nasty thing to do - which seemed similar to this guys article.

Drop details that imply your parents are rich. Hint at having published multiple books. Hint at owning lucrative businesses. Be reticent and embarrassed when she presses for details

If that kind of shit doesn't set alarm bells ringing for anyone with an IQ over 10 you probably shouldn't be allowed out of the house.

"It's ok to lie about whether you have AIDS"??

Haha, I knew it about the height! So I adjusted my height filter. And DP is 6'3. For reals

I've just sent the link to this site to my DP - I met him on POF 3 years ago today!

Must say I had to wade through a lot of dickheads before I finally met one worth keeping

You defo need a good bullshit alert system for online dating!

Should do a eBay type feedback thing, "Decent", "Acceptable", "Bullshit".

So i clicked on the link ready for my morning dose of feminist outrage - and ended up pissing myself laughing! I don't think he was being serious - if he was, he is clearly some sort of sociopath that isn't allowed out anyway.

I did recommend a male friend of mine to POF, not that i had ever seen it but had heard it was a genuine site for people looking for relationships/sex but not necc anything serious. This guy wanted some company and a bit of sex - he met a really nice woman and they got on well but she practically moved herself in after a month, he let it go on for a while but didn't want to lead her on so it ended. I asked him if he would go back on POF and he said no because it was apparent to HIM that most of the people (men and women) on there were just looking for sex. Anyway, hes shagging his yoga instructor now !

God this is :/ , I can imagine he is of a considerable age the author too,

I remember a few years back when you'd get messages just consisting of 'looking hot bbz,msn bbz' and was like a catchphrase of perve mockery.

I used to have a POF profile and went on dates with men on there and I nearly every man I met had lied about his height, and despite what the 'helpful' article linked says it is noticeable
I had a rule of taking 2" off the height they had on their profile to ensure I didn't tower over anyone I met.
Still did tower over the more flagrant inch-adders though

I stopped using pof a while ago, well stopped OD altogether as its not for me; but last week a friend of mine saw the husband of another friend of hers on there

Funnily his profile did not mention his wife or young twin dc
