Plenty To Dish: Location Location Location

I discovered a new feature for PoF mobile. For those who don’t know, this is what the home screen looks like for PoF mobile.

Hello, Gentlemen...

The bottom row of pictures are random profiles of people within my region of which to select from.

Well this past weekend, I traveled to St. Louis to visit some family and was surprised to suddenly see my phone light up with messages from users that reside in Missouri. It seems that your profile pops up as a random option to select for others within your listed state of residency AND WHEREVER YOU'RE CURRENTLY LOCATED!

Way to lay out the PoF Welcome Mat! Well hello, Missouri!

This explains past mental question marks when I’ve clicked on random profiles while back at home and noticed that their listed state is definitely not within Arizona, much less the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Those people must have been visiting Arizona at the time I clicked on them! I don’t know if that’s absolutely genius, extremely creepy, or both! It definitely opens up your options to even more opportunities if you’re into random, really unlikely successful encounters.

I don’t know who would want to spend what little time they have in a city going on dates with strangers but think of benefits this could have?? Let’s get creative.

The Wedding Date: Say you’re headed out-of-state for a wedding, and you have yet to find someone to fill your Plus One guest invite. Once you get into town, see if any willing bachelors or nice ladies would accompany you as your date! It may be awkward as hell or it could be the greatest first date story ever! The key to this is you have to be completely straight up honest about the situation and carry a sort of nonchalance about it. Otherwise, you may come off creepy like you’re already planning your wedding to this new local friend. But what if you’re nervous and not sure if you can pull that kind of carefree demeanor off? Maybe sell it to them this way: Ever wanted to live out your own rendition of Wedding Crashers? You can be Luke Wilson and I’ll be Rachel McAdams!

This could also be pulled off for work functions that require you to travel. Bring a date, and then treat them for putting up with your boring boss or convention speaker by treating them to their favorite place in town! You get a little bit of the insider’s scoop of the city and someone to make fun of your coworkers with.

If you don’t want to look like the only one attending a function without a significant other, then fake it! While you’re there, you two can make up a whole story about how you met and your new friend can create a whole other life for them self! Does anyone else think this could be an incredibly amusing night?!

PoF, no matter where you travel to, it’s where you’ve always got a friend! Potentially, anyways. ; )

On a completely unrelated note, I have been saving a few pictures for a theme I've had lately. How many profiles can I find with pictures of man-children. Yes, you read that right. Man-children: males over the age of 18 that look like they're 12. Enjoy!
