Posted: 8/22/2008 1:50:26 PM | | I must say that I've met some in person, But they were not the one...if you know what I mean, and a few are now good friends. one lady that I dated, was just not my match, but I introduced her to a good friend, and he was a the shy type. They are now happyly together. And she will tell you that it would never have been, had we not met first. I'm still looking and going to meet a lady this sunday | |

| I think I know why!
Posted: 8/22/2008 2:14:51 PM | | I have never done this before, in fact this is the first time I've even seen this page, but I read your post and decided to read your profile, Going to give you my opinion, and remember it is just that, MY opinion. I think the reason you didn't get the responce from here that you wanted, is because you sound unhappy, and not very nice. Who would want to get hooked up with a person like that. My advise, try again, only this time make yourself SOUND appealing! because you certainly don't now! | |

Posted: 8/23/2008 9:26:29 AM | OMG PEOPLE! Its called plenty of fish for a reason. You can't just expect them to jump in your boat, you gotta throw the bait to them. Contact every person in you area start with 5 miles and work out.
I met my wife at a club and only after getting shot down by 6 other women. Don't just contact woman with the qualities you're looking for, cuz they all lie. Do you think that any one could list all their good and bad qualities? So grow a set men and go out there and land that big one (not literally) and hopefully she'll be a keeper. | |

I meet one woman that was hanging out with 3 different men.
Unless this woman was having sex with you( or with one or more of the 3 other men),unless she had agreed to exclusively see you( or one of the 3 other men) then she did not do anything wrong.
From this site a while back i meet a woman at a restraunt and face to face she told me she had a bf.
OK if she really did, THAT was WRONG. However,she may simply have been wanting to find a way to avoid seeing you again( and this doesn't mean there's something wrong with either you or her) that would brook no argument; could you have seemed overly anxious, needy, or to be the kind of guy who gets pissy or even mean when a woman says "I don't think we'd do well dating each other"?
Some women use this site to get the much needed positive reinforcement and attention the guy who they never mention on this site are getting. Restraunts a way out or movies to gifts and items.
Oh yes, we're all here because we can't afford to go anyplace or buy anything for ourselves...yep, you got it all figured out,dude. It's shell out or stay single... Want some cheese with that whine??
In two cases i just wanted to beat the parents for the way they raised their daughter.
People never have had rough times and its a defining moment on why in the hell would one ever want to get married and have kids.
If i ever got married i am anal about who that would be
I'm sorry, that section of your post doesn't make a whole helluva lot of sense.
Just from past meetings i am not satisfied and a bit distraught to who is out there and this site.
"Distraught" is something you get when your house burns down or is destroyed by a flood or storm."Distraught" is something you get when a loved one dies, or you find out one of your children is terminally ill. To be "distraught" over a free dating site suggests that your life lacks depth.
And your final sentence is about the smartest thing in your whole post...(with all due respect to those who have limitations on their ability to include other options), depending on internet dating sites as your sole means of meeting potential romantic partners is shortsighted, to say the least.

Posted: 8/23/2008 11:06:39 AM | yeah im late in responding to this myself...
honestly, i noticed the account is gone, but my response can go to anyone who is feeling like the OP is
like alot have said, this site aint meant to match you with "the one" only hell if it was that good, id throw a couple benjamins into it OP was only 22, well, im 20 i find myself pretty good looking young fella, and ive gotten hits from 2 people 5 people added me as favorites only 2 of which actually repsonded.
theres probably alot of stuff i could do better to increase my chances, but i like to leave something to be desired, not lay it out on the table.
from what i see of you, your bitter and unhappy (to the OP) and thats just with this thread maybe your still stuck in the highschool days when all ya had to do was show a little interest in someone and then ya dating, this is the real world tho, aint no one going to want to see a bitter young woman, and say MY GOD SHES MY SOUL MATE HEART HEART HEART, they going to want to get to know you, some guys are ignorant jackasses excuse my language, we all know this.....
but you sound just as bad as those guys, and in all honesty, you sound spoiled, cause what im seeing is, wah mommy daddy i didnt get what i wanted when i wanted it i hate to be rude and harsh, its definitly not my nature to be but stuff im reading like the dudes upset cause aint no females wanted em at that time.
all i can say is i see why lol, a little something called persistence can go along way, i havent met 1 person in my life thats ever really wanted a guy that made it to damn easy on them, and me personally i couldnt date a female who threw herself at me UNLESS we both had that mutual feeling but even then id keep it slow we got all the time in the world, why rush things?
the 2 people i have talked to, they was pretty cool people but i felt nothing there between us....but doesnt make them not dateable...
and to the person who said everyone lies online, to a degree i agree, half the time its more of a stretch of truth, maybe my profile isnt interesting enough for some cause i kept the truth stretch to a minimal, but either way, its like my grams used to tell me, anything worth it isnt easy, anything easy isnt worth it and ive kept that saying with me all my life | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 8:46:07 AM | I am in complete agreement with those who realize that this site is just for fun. PoF never promises results like those other dating sites, and so when you can actually find couples who did make it through.. well then maybe you should relax and take a look around.
Of course there are going to be those people who don't reply.. but they are just rude, or perhaps they honestly are too busy to do so.
I think that it should just be about finding people to engage in conversation, get to meet and spend some time with... You have no idea how mindblowing it is to go 18 years without a single date, and get 4 in one month! This site is a safe way to interact with people that you may have not had a chance to otherwise. I am going to try to stay friends with the guys that it didn't work with, but just because it wasn't love at first sight does not mean it was a waste of time. If you are only in it for the instant gratification, then maybe you should review your priorities..
Because in a way you are just as bad as the people who don't reply to messages. | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 9:18:25 AM | I find it to be surprising that people get on this site, set up a minimal profile, don't post forums, and then expect this site to magically do it all.
If you use this site as a digging tool, then it's fair to expect results.
You don't go fishing in the real world without making an effort if you expect to catch fish, do you?
This site is a window to the world, but magic mirrors are only found fairy tales.
So to the OP and people like her I want to say again: Stop whining. Get busy. And for crying out loud, be a little realistic. | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 10:20:45 AM | | you havent been on 2 minutes! do you think your that good a catch as soon as your profile on they all come running?.some people on here make me laugh,so you dont get plenty asking to chat to you,well if your that exciting as you think get out and leave the sites alone, simple. | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 10:34:22 AM | | well do you have a picture? it all depends on what you say on your profile and how people are going to answer or send you an email, I have seen girls that have pictures that are half naked and then they wonder why guys are just asking to have sex, it has to do a lot on how you portrayed yourself and on what guys are going to say to you. | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 11:38:15 AM | Hello everyone... first time for me here...just wanted to say your bio and picture says it all...it reflects you...your wants, needs, desires, as well as your turnoffs,pet peeves and patience....you want a match maker maybe or someone to redo your bio, it has to be effective to get results...I enjoy reading all....do not take it seriously....it is not the do all and end all in my life....keep options open,listen,learn and have no regrets...
life is a bowl of cherries ...some time you get pits, some time you get worms, and some time you get chocolate covered ones and a best friend in the process. Love others, thy self and think positive...it comes through in your bio and outlook as a friend. I eliminate 95% in my bio...that is my choice....still reconfiguring it...HUGS>always... | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 12:50:08 PM | | I had expectaions, but after writing so many long hellos and hardly receiving one no thank you, bugger off, or so on.. I agree with the majority that pof isn't worth that much time. I think my profile isn't so bad, and I know I'm one of the nicer guys out there, but oh well! | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 3:03:31 PM | It simply amazes me how some people think there are so many "magic bullets" out there. If things were that easy, would this site even exist? And if the OP or anyone like her think that it's easier or better someplace else, well, move along then. You cannot get to know people without trying to make contact, and even at that, you cannot expect "the first cast to land you a fish." Sure, it happens, but how often?
Some people will b*tch regardless, especially those who don't bother to take the time or effort to make things work. I certainly haven't found "the one", obviously, but I haven't given up trying. Whether it's on here or out and about on the town you still have to make a good first impression and then have something for the other person to desire. Sometimes you find someone, date a few times and realize it's no good. It's happened to me. I've met a couple of people from here and from a couple of other sites and it hasn't worked out. Oh well, keep looking.
But if you want easy, hire a matchmaker and kindly remove your profile as to keep from cluttering the rest of the pool, thank you. | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 3:37:40 PM | I agree with you 100%! This site is a joke. It is not maintained and has more errors than the IRS's bookkeeping. Most woman don't even post a photo and when they do, it is OLD making them look younger. I have seen woman 2o years younger than my own mother and my mom looks younger than them. LOL. I've tried this site 3 times now over the past 3 years with NO LUCK AT ALL! I have met no one! Most of the woman are either stuck up looking for that pretty guy, looking for a millionaire or are just too disgusting and fat as heck. This is all my opinion though and you make your own. I am a great guy... too bad the woman on this site cannot see it. I've been to other sites and have had luck. I just tried this site because it was free. Now I know why its free... IT TOTALLY SUCKS!  | |

| Are you really that boring?
Posted: 8/24/2008 3:48:32 PM | Well, you might try writing some kind of profile - so you like to walk your dog - wheeha! Maybe your bored and boring attitude is shining through? If you're not happy with yourself, you sure don't have anything to offer anyone else. Perk it up a bit. Put in some effort. And what do you expect, some model-type to fall head over heels because you like all the same old things as everyone else? Aren't we all different? What makes you special? What have you got to offer? Don't blame a perfectly good service just because you've got a lame profile. | |

Must be hell being perfect. Care to lend your expertise to help with the coding?

Hmm...well, not everybody is as beautiful and photogenic as you. Again, must be hell being perfect.
I've tried this site 3 times now over the past 3 years with NO LUCK AT ALL! I have met no one! Most of the woman are either stuck up looking for that pretty guy, looking for a millionaire or are just too disgusting and fat as heck.
Well ain't it a shame that people have standards! Why don't you lower yours so you'll find someone and quit b*tchin'?
This is all my opinion though and you make your own.
And you know what they say about opinions...
I am a great guy... too bad the woman on this site cannot see it. I've been to other sites and have had luck. I just tried this site because it was free. Now I know why its free... IT TOTALLY SUCKS!
Hey, you say you're a great guy, but your post says otherwise. Good luck finding someone after that little rant! Have a nice day! | |
