we are giving you tips (and some of us whpo are trying to help you are womens, so we know what we are talking about),
I'll give you the best tip. Talk to girls in real life, you'll skip all that inetrnet "firewall" and get directly to personal communication! If you don't talk personally, internet won't help you!
Honestly, I have no idea what I'm supposed to write there on POF. I would really like to get in some kind of relationship with english or french speaking girl to learn more local culture and master communications skills (I'm totally serious about culture thing, I learned English/French in my twenties and I didn't have any experience on that personal level so far). I went specifically there for this reason, I don't want to limit myself to girls of my small community.
I tried different approaches, BUT I had never received a single reply on POF
I'm serious, not a single reply!
I'm not the best looking guy, but in real life it works way better for me than with POF or any online dating site. Even with escorts, the last escort that I've seen was Jasmine a couple of weeks ago (one of the top rated here), she even didn't want to charge me (I insisted), left me her phone number (I didn't call).
I call escorts once in a while and a few times girls were genuinely curious if I have a girlfriend or not and why I call escorts (my last gf isn't even in canada). I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me, maybe my standards are too high (look wise I think I haven't seen escorts looking better than my gf, even 30 minutes of browsing what Montreal has to offer on POF didn't give anything close).
So, can anybody advise some good place to meet girls?
If I try to talk in a club conversations turns into "What? What did you say?" because of the accent
Don't offer Thursdays, I've been there, done that. By the way, like 5 years ago my and my friend actually scored two girls at thursdays, recently I recognized them as Penelope and Bianca from xxxtase.
