Fake Profiles Pof
Is it immoral to make a fake online dating profile at POF with a random pic? Is it illegal?
I made a profile in a different city of mine with a fake pic (rated the same “hotness” as me on hot or not so I can test the game, not the looks). I just want to figure out the system so to speak since I never did the online thing. What profiles get what responses. What emails to send. etc.
There are so many fake accounts and bots on pof.

It may not be immoral, but it is certainly useless, since you wouldn’t be able to actually meet any of these people.
I believe there are new laws on the books that would make this illegal, however.
Probably not technically illegal unless you pass yourself off as someone famous or who has the ability/means to sue you.
Probably immoral, because basically you’re lying to someone. Even if you’re using a picture of someone more attractive than you so people won’t judge your looks (although I know you said you weren’t doing that), it will still upset people to find out you really look entirely different from what they thought.
The internet is tricksy in the way that it’s so easy to pass off false information, and people just eat it all up as the truth. I’d say: be honest and don’t play with people’s emotions. You could get yourself in a bad situation.
I know it’s useless since I can’t meet them but I just don’t want to make an ass out of my real self in my real city (and end up “using everyone up”).
Why would I be honest and give my true info if I am just practicing? When I get the system right I will be honest on my profile/ I’m writing my profiles as I intend to on my real account (just in a different city of course), so I can find out which ones work
List Of Fake Pof Profiles
Why don’t you just view other people’s profiles to get an idea of what to say? “Get the system right” sounds like you are intending to be someone you aren’t in real life.
The best thing to do is be yourself and to state in your profile the type of person you are looking for and the type of interests you are interested in. I really don’t know how you could make an ass out of yourself by just being you.
I have used POF (PlentyofFish, a free dating website for those who don’t know). That’s how I met my boyfriend, actually. I don’t get why you need a fake profile to “practice”. It’s pretty straightforward. As for using your real info, you are not obliged (in fact you’re encouraged NOT to) to include details that would identify you. Use a screen name, keep information about your place of employment, etc. to yourself.
If you don’t want people you know in your city to find your profile, you can hide it, and then contact whoever you wish to contact. This will decrease your chances of finding the right person because the search will be one-sided. An alternative is making your pictures private, you can send them in messages to members you wish to view your pictures.
If you would like someone to take a look at the description you’re writing, let me know and I’ll be glad to help out. Don’t do the fake profile thing, there are enough weirdos online as it is, don’t be “that” guy too!
Edit to add: The “Hot or Not” feature is optional, I had that disabled on mine. It’s a bit silly. Just focus on the way you present yourself in your own profile.
Edit #2: I have no idea what those ratings are, is that a new feature or something? Do people even look at that? Trust me, a coherent, intelligent description of yourself and clear pictures will take you a long way.
What’s your intention of “practicing”? Do you have a spouse or SO? Because if you do, then fake or not, it is cheating. It’s also unfair to people who communicate with you out of sincerity, thinking that you’re a real person. You would be leading them on.
I don’t know about immoral, illegal or whatever. All I know is, it’s stupid IMHO.
I think you’re looking at this all wrong. “The system?” What do you mean by that? It’s people meeting people in a fairly new way. Treating it like a game or a system to learn or conquer probably won’t work out so great for you if you’re looking for a real connection with a woman.
Answer this question
Online dating has become one of the go-to methods to meet someone in today’s fast-paced society. But it isn’t without its difficulties! If you’re searching for love online, chances are you’ve come across a few fake dating profiles. Or do you find it tricky to spot them?
To help you tell a real person from a phony, we’ve put together a list of red flags to watch out for. That way you can say goodbye to time wasters and only focus on genuine connections, ones that have potential.
Fake Dating Profiles: Red Flags to Watch Out For
There’s a limited number of photos on their profile
While a limited number of photos on someone’s dating profile doesn’t automatically prove that you’re falling for a fraud, it’s definitely a red flag.
Open Pof My Profile
Everyone knows that their profile photos will be the first thing that catches someone’s attention, and choosing the perfect pictures can be tricky! That’s why fake dating profilesaim to use attractive photos to lure you in. But how do you know if that photo is really of them?
As a rule of thumb, profiles containing more photos are less likely to be a scam. But if you’re feeling unsure about the identity of who you’re speaking to, ask them to send you another photo. Maybe even request a photo of them doing something specific, such as holding up a piece of paper with their name on it, so you know they can’t have gotten this online. Or why not ask them to video chat?
Their profile isn’t linked to any social media accounts
Almost all online dating profiles are linked to a few social media accounts. So if someone is unwilling to connect on any other platform, it’s a little fishy. If you realize that there is no way for you to verify that the person who you’re talking to is real, then that’s a red flag that they might not be.
Sure, maybe they just want to keep their social media accounts private. But if you ask to connect on Instagram or Facebook and they continually refuse, then maybe they’re hiding something. If you’re really invested in this connection, be honest with them about how this is making you question them. And if they still refuse? We suggest pursuing another match, one that is excited to get to know you.
They won’t reveal anything about themselves
There’s nothing better than chatting with a potential match who seems genuinely interested in you. However, if you feel that this attention is only coming your way because your match doesn’t want to reveal anything about themselves, then you could be in a pickle.
If you realize that the person you’re talking to doesn’t seem to answer any questions about themselves, re-evaluate why that is. Often times these fake dating profiles will shift the conversation to manipulating their target. Don’t fall prey to someone giving you the attention you deserve.
Instead, direct the question right back at them and make sure you receive a response that you’re comfortable with. The last thing anyone wants is to tell someone their whole life story to find out that they were talking to a complete fake. Even worse? Some fake dating profiles don’t just try to scam you of your secrets, but of your money too.
Fake dating profiles love making excuses
Male Scammers On Pof
Catfish are notorious for standing people up. Is your online crush constantly making excuses as to why they can’t meet in person? Or maybe they keep declining your video calls? If you’re looking to take this relationship into the real world, then this isn’t the response you should be looking for.
Sure, meeting in person for the first time can be nerve-wracking. But if you feel that their crazy excuses and rescheduling are less to do with first-date butterflies and more to do with their revealing true identity, you should probably take a step back.
While online dating may have simplified your search for love, it doesn’t mean it’s always going to be easy – dating never is! But the truth is that most people who date online are doing so with good intentions. So take note of our basic guidelines and most of all have fun!
