Focus On A Woman's Written Bio
The best way to start a conversation on POF is by focusing on a woman's written bio. Showing curiosity and asking the right question will get you better results than the guys who put zero effort into their icebreakers.
Think about it. If a woman takes time to write something in her bio, it shows you took the time to read her profile. Your message stands out by doing this.
Look For Common Interests
The first thing you should do is scan a woman's bio for common interests. Asking a question about something a woman shares in her profile is the ideal approach for your icebreaker.
EliteSingles put it best for getting responses from women - "find something in their profile you both share and talk about that. This not only helps you establish your shared interests but also demonstrates that you have actually read their profile and paid attention to their hobbies."
Anything a woman writes about is fair game. It can be a hobby, a job, a book, a show, wine, traveling, etc.
In the profile below, the woman shares several interests. I see the word "yoga" and choose this as my icebreaker approach.
Scan a woman's bio for common interests you can use in your icebreaker.
Below is my opening message. Notice how it's not one-sided. I ask an open-ended question about yoga, and the woman responds. The message is light and shows genuine curiosity, which is why it works.
The best profile questions to ask on POF focus on similar interests
Note in the message above how the woman comments on TV and cutting onions. Her comment references topics in my dating profile. This shows she read my dating profile before responding. Remember, put effort into your bio; otherwise women won't respond to your messages.
Bonus Tip: Explore The Entire Profile
If the woman doesn't write much in her bio, you can focus on other areas of her bio on POF. The "Insights" section is a good alternative for your icebreaker.
In the example below, the woman mentions she has a cat and a dog. Asking a woman about her dog is an effective way to start a conversation on POF. This is the approach I use.
Anything a woman shares on her POF bio can be used to start conversations.
My message below is short, simple, and gets a response. I'm telling you - female pet owners LOVE talking about their pets.
A good way to get responses from women is by asking about their pets.
The "Interests" section is also a good place to check for potential icebreakers. POF allows you to add interests to your bio and a lot of women use this feature.
The woman below shares "board games" as one of her interests. I could choose any of her interests, but I'm an avid fan of board games, so it's the approach I pick.
The interests section on POF is a great place for icebreaker ideas.
Mentioning the woman's interest in board games works! I use a friendly approach hyping myself and hen asking about her favorite game.
Ask a woman about her POF interests to get a response.
What If A Woman's Bio Is Blank?
Not all women write a bio nor choose interests. What do you do in this case? I use an approach that works well in this scenario.
I like asking women a fun personality question. These can be effective at getting responses. Examples you could use include:
- You need to satisfy your late-night cravings (food, get your mind out of the gutter), and your fridge is empty. Which would you choose? In N Out, Jack In The Box, or a greasy dive burrito?
- What was your last dream about? How did I look? 🙂
- Please describe your ideal match here on POF. Feel free to look at my bio for inspiration. haha
The sky's the limit using this approach. Think of something creative and funny. Avoid offensive approaches. If you can make a woman laugh, you'll get a lot of responses.
Get creative and think of a few personality questions for your icebreakers.
Final Thoughts
Getting responses to your icebreakers on POF is simple. It's all about asking questions because it shows you want to know her beyond her looks.
The questions you should ask women on Plentyoffish must focus on her dating profile (not photos). Anything in her profile is fair game.
Look for a common interest and mention it in your opening message. It's that easy.
