The Best POF Headlines For Guys Who Want More Dates

💡 Key Insights:

  • High-visibility placement: Headlines appear prominently in both search results and profile pages on POF, making them critical first-impression elements that shouldn't be wasted.
  • Curiosity generates clicks: Headlines that create intrigue and make women think "Hmmm..." encourage profile views, unlike generic greetings like "Hi" that signal boring conversation ahead.
  • Adventure promises work: Suggesting travel, excitement, or novel experiences in your headline makes you instantly more appealing than those projecting negativity or mundane lifestyles.
  • Marketing principles apply: Borrowing proven advertising slogans and taglines can effectively "sell" your best qualities without seeming like you're trying too hard.
  • Humor creates connection: Funny headlines (when actually humorous, not just labeled with "lol") establish rapport before she even reads your full profile.
  • Differentiation is key: With POF's massive user base creating intense competition, headlines that set you apart from typical users significantly increase your chances of attracting attention.
  • Avoid red flags: Headlines revealing negative personality traits or suggesting incompatibility will cause women to immediately move on to other profiles.

Having one of the best headlines on POF is important.

PlentyOfFish is one of the biggest free online dating sites, and with a huge user pool comes tons of competition for the beautiful women.

And after you’ve sent her a creative, engaging message that snags her attention, she’s going to check out your profile.

When she clicks on your username, the screen is going to look something like this:

See how prominent your headline is? Not something she's likely to miss.

Even in the search results, it has a commanding presence:

The good news is like in the examples above, most guys put very little thought into it.

But why waste a chance to grab her attention and make her want to read more about you?

And why risk giving her a reason to *not* learn any more about you?

Get inspired by the 15 best headlines for POF we’ve found, and check out some of the worst ones we’ve ever seen.

Let's dive in!

Headlines That Make Her Say, “Hmmm”:

POF headlines good

Curiosity is a good thing. It’s a pleasurable emotion to feel, so if you can make her curious about you, she’ll check out your profile.

Be creative, it’s so much more interesting than boring:

She’s not going to keep reading past “Hi,” since she's likely decided conversing with you would be just as boring as your headline.

And she’s going to move on to the next guy.

Headlines That Promise Adventure & Excitement:

Hinting at travel and adventure makes you seem intriguing and mysterious. You’ve already given her something to look forward to, and she hasn’t even read your profile yet.

And a bad headline will have just the opposite effect on her:

POF headline about being shallow

Amazing how one little sentence fragment can set the mood, isn’t it?

Headlines That “Sell” You:

Slogan headlines for POF

Basically your profile is like your own personal marketing campaign, so why not borrow a slogan?

Whether you’re implying you have power, strength, and a strong engine, or a personality that’s as addictive as a potato chip, she’s probably buying what you’re selling.

Just make sure you pick a line that makes you sound like an enticing prospect.

slogan fail

If you highlight one or more character traits she might not appreciate in a date, she’s less likely to check out your About Me or return a first message.

Headlines That Make Her Laugh (With You):

Funny headlines for POF

Humorous headlines might not appeal to every woman, but if your profile can make her smile, she’ll look forward to getting to know you better.

But if you’re going to be funny, well… be funny. (Adding a "lol" or "lmao" doesn't count.)

Headlines That Set You Apart From The Rest Of The Herd:

But you want to spark her imagination, not send her running the other way:
