| What is your real goal for dating?
Posted: 8/11/2008 2:04:42 PM | Welllllllllll............OP!,,,,,,I took an oath to NEVER reveal what my real goal for dating is,,,,,,,,but since you twisted my arm, here goes!
I plan on meeting and dating every man who innocently or maliciously places a profile on a dating site. I will cleaverly deplete his funds, turn even his dog against him, place a hex on his Ford Mustange, deflate his self-inflicted and over inflated ego, then leave him crawling on the floor, begging for more.
Hang on now! I already did that. Okay, my reason for being here is for pure punishment only. I do not want to meet anyone, let alone date. I'm just here to gaze at my weekly POF matches, send emails that for the most part don't get responded to and oh................read and participate in the forums.

did you honestly expect an intelligent response to such a question on a DATING SITE? | |

Posted: 8/11/2008 2:18:41 PM | POF is my only experience with a dating site.
I've got a hidden profile and stick to the forums, from where I've made friends with the most amazingly wise and hilarious people.
Dating?
Although I attend POF events, crikey, good luck on getting me to ever even go for a coffee 
And no, it's not because I'm bitter, disillusioned or scared.
Au contraire.
It's because I know exactly what I want in a man. It's not his looks, or 'stuff', or any of that other gobbledygook, it's a certain mindset I'm after.
Until I find it, or at least a hint of it, I don't see any point in wasting anyone's time. I've got a strong family and social network around me, and that gives me the luxury of waiting it out.
If I do ever meet him though, convention be damned.
I'm not going to care where he lives, I'm just going to go right over there, throw him over my shoulder and work on making sure I just went on my last first date.

Posted: 8/13/2008 3:02:04 PM | Are you asking me, parrothead?
If so, I actually check to see if they're active on the forums and if they are, that jives for me, and makes it a neutral, as opposed to a good or bad thing.
If you weren't asking me, sorry, my friend, but you just got my unsolicited two cents worth anyway

Posted: 8/14/2008 5:12:27 AM | Favorite lists...I haven't added anybody yet...but there are four on my list...soemone else added themselves and I have not chatted with any of them...LOL...so what is the purpose of favorite lists anyway?
I think some people add themselves to your list in hopes that if you find them interesting then you will contact them and if not they have escaped the embarrasment of rejection.or maybe to make themselves seem more popular...I really don't put much weight on these lists. But that is just me...others may feel differently. They may also want to see if you will contact them.
One of them called me a MILF which, believe it or not....I did not know what that was until I asked my son and then I did not take that as a compliment from a 24 year old man. I blocked them...I am not that kinda MaMa..LOL
My opinion and just my opinion. | |

Posted: 8/14/2008 9:33:26 AM | My goal for dating is to find a man that I would like to spend time with. I'm not looking for marriage or for a man to support me finacially. Just someone I like to be with to share common interests. Family is very important to me, so it would have to be someone that is interested in being a part of my family, as I would his.  | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 3:48:15 PM | | My primary goal is companionship and friendship - to enjoy good, male company. I would like to eventually have one of those companions develop into a long term, monogamous relationship but have no problem just enjoying male company until that develops. | |

Posted: 10/22/2008 5:58:57 PM | do you think being on a lot of peoples favorites list is a good or bad thing? inquiring minds want to know.
Personally I think it's neither,....
some of the people I put on my list are there because we've chatted and had some interesting conversations,....that can be either gender,.....since I enjoy the forums often people who don't post,...write to me about my posts,....and them I like to remember to chat to from time to time or just check out on their profile,...what they are saying about things which sometimes has me join the conversation,....
the fgavorites to me are fast links to places it would take me forever to find otherwise or miss alltogether,....
Sometimes it just means you have been on the site a long while,....
and that's neither good or bad either,....
because of this forum I feel I have made friends around the world and I like checking in on them,.....
don't read too much into things,...not everyone is here to find true love or just get laid,.... some of us are here to connect to many interesting wonderful people we might otherwise never have known about,....
isn't the internet wonderfull,.....
the people that added me to their list, are like minded people,....both genders,....
The thing about this site that I love so much besides being free, and the absolute ease and instant use,....is that you have so much controll over whom you let into your little world,.....
most other pay sites are so careful to edit you that you have to submit a response and they post it the next day,..or the day after that,...that's not a discussion or even a conversation,....it's annoying,....here everything is in real time,....I love that,...
As for my motive dating,....it`s to meet men I would not normally meet in my kitchen (since I don't work) or anywhere else that I don't go alone,....and to get to know another human my own vintage who can converse with me and have the same frame of historical refference that I do,....

Posted: 10/24/2008 7:32:58 AM | | I refuse to call it a "goal". Makes it sound more like a sporting event instead of a life enhancing experience. Dating is just that, life enhancing. We meet new people, we find the klinkers [process them and their habits so we can find the klinkers easier in the future], we develop relationships with people that don't work out [and we learn what we did wrong and correct it in the future], and hopefully, ultimately [before we die], we find the person we have wanted our entire life. | |

Posted: 10/26/2008 4:36:06 PM | well, I wanted simple dating and had many ladies say that someone who dates alot is a player..so I changed to wanting a ltr..then the last ladies I dated said I knew what I wanted and they didn't so good luck to me. I dated each more than once and for the record sex was not an issue in this at all. So it seems if you want more than just to date them the ladies get scared and run..and if they think all you want is to date ..they get scared and run too..thinking you may use them somehow. Got dumped by 3 women in 2 weeks..because I wanted more than they wanted in life or less than they wanted at this time. I'm confused now.
My goal now is to just meet a person who likes to date and may want something longterm.
Single since 2001...dating has changed so much and with internet dating the rules change daily it seems. | |

Hmmm. Maybe I am in trouble. Half the ones listing me as "favorites" are men. Hey, I'm just not that kind of guy.
In reality I think most who have added me as a favorite do so because of some absurd thing I said in one of my posts that really ticked them off. (And they want to remember who the damn fool was.) | |

Posted: 10/28/2008 2:54:02 PM | Yogi, you’re a hoot. Snowing!?? UGH! Been there/done that (attended Syracuse University)… never again! Like Jimmy Buffett sings, “I’ve gotta go where it’s warm!” 
I’m still pondering the word “real”… my “real” goal? As opposed to what – a fake goal? I suppose that OP is referring to people that date ostensibly as some sort of numbers game, that they are players with no intent on establishing a loving relationship.
Well, I guess you now have my answer. Yes, dating is the means to an end – to go to some neutral location and learn about each other, and have fun! But even when in a relationship, I believed in “dating” my significant other – keeps things alive. | |

Posted: 10/28/2008 3:34:01 PM | | To date and have fun, and if he and I find that we have the emotional, physical, and intellectual compatibility that it takes to have awesome chemistry-----then, to take advantage of the great feeling that "All of me wants all of you", and to love each other's body and soul. | |
