Posted: 8/24/2008 4:20:07 PM | | Maybe your profile or pictures where giving people the wrong idea of you .. i was only on this site for a short time but i met 10 or 12 really nice guys who where and still are looking for meaning full relationships and i also found the man who is right for me... we have been together for about 2 munths now and are head over heals in love ... Negativity attracts negativity so before you go blaming all of your relationship problems on this site or guys who are only looking for sex... maybe you should look at your self.. | |

If you know of a better alternative, why don't you share it with the rest of us. POF is what you make of it, and it's FREE. Personally, I feel that POF is is a very well run site.
In my opinion, the biggest waste of time and money, that I've encountered is Eharmony.
Three cheers for POF!!

Posted: 8/24/2008 5:06:57 PM | Wow! I'm really shocked that people haven't found somebody in three years!
It's a good site, after all it's free and would suggest to the people who don't like it to go out a little more often  instead of making plentyoffish run your life and look for miricales and discourage you.
Face it, some of these things are not for everybody but that doesn't mean you can't meet someone. It happens whan you least expect it. On here or the outside. If you are not satified with this site, go to the forums and check out the success stories. If that doesn't suit you, I don't know what to tell you outside of the two suggestions I mentioned.  | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 6:58:38 PM | As brian_nc_1974, I just couldn't pass by this perfect example of human arrogance
I agree with you 100%! This site is a joke. It is not maintained and has more errors than the IRS's bookkeeping. Have you paid maintenence fee in the prder to critisize? Free cheese is only in a mousetrap. Well, you are too quick to throw dirty words toward someone who created the place where people would have the opportunity to meet other people FOR FREE. Do you know something like "thank you"?
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! I wonder why I am not surprised...hmmm...wait...what about the woman who looked older than your mom?
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. I see...if you think (or your mom told you once) that you are handsome and not that fat, get a mirror. As for the looking for a millionare here....pluuuzzzeee...why a millionare would use FREE site?
I am a great guy... too bad the woman on this site cannot see it. When you start your profile from that you don't like BBW when you are not exactly a supermodel yourself, no doubt women don't look further.
I just tried this site because it was free. Now I know why its free... IT TOTALLY SUCKS! I wonder if your clients expect any service from you when they don't pay money...and if they get some, they definitely say no "thanks" but just "your free service sucks"
Sorry but that's because you are too fat and ugly and have kids. and you are slim, handsome and no kids...oh, I forgot - and smart as hell.
** woman - (plural) women ...just in case if not everyone understands smart, handsome etc guys
I am not mean person (hard to believe after that post, but really hope your post will stay on your profile so everyone could see. Good luck in your dating here | |

Posted: 8/24/2008 7:35:22 PM | | Well the site didn't cost anything. So I don't think it owes you anything. But if it does (haven't read the terms of service), I'd sue immediately. Perhaps we could make it a class action suit. | |

Well the site didn't cost anything. So I don't think it owes you anything.
Wiser words couldn't have been spoken. Perhaps it was how I was raised, but I never complain about a free service, for one, and two, I know that you get out of life what you put into it, so if you give nothing expect nothing in return.
And if you're going to badmouth a site where someone is doing it for free, that's just wrong. Obviously you have no freakin' idea how much it costs to run a site, whether it's out of someone's apartment or on a host. The bandwidth cost ALONE for this site is, well, I would hate to see the bill for it, let me put it that way. With all of the images and the amount of people (not only registered people, but non-registered lurkers as well) who visit this site I'm sure it would max out any hosted plan in 2 weeks if not sooner. I run two sites out of pocket; one is on a host that I split the cost with a friend and the other I host on my own computer in my house. Fortunately both sites are low bandwidth sites so I don't have to worry about excessive charges from my host or my ISP.
All that aside, though, if you have nothing good to say about something where someone is gracious enough to provide you with a vehicle to meet other people, have a cup of "shut the f--- up" to go and don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you. I don't know what your parents told you but mine told me never to look a gift horse in the mouth. If you think you're all that, hike it on over to someplace local and pick up on some "hot young thang" (dear God no, don't let it be a BBW) that finds you almost as irresistible as you find yourself.
Some people are so full of themselves I wonder how they make it through doorways with their heads as big as they are. | |

If the door hits you on the way out you aren't moving fast enough.
To Dirt Diva, Trixie and Rainie: Unfortunately I live far from all of you, except maybe Diva, but I can still see.
WOW!!!!
And to at least some of the women on here, check your baggage, realize that no one here is "men." We are all different. And your mind reading skills are just terrible, you do _not_ know what is in our minds.
On this site I have met some fine friends, elsewhere maybe a lot more. Luck of the draw. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 12:28:15 PM | Brian,
I haven't had any luck here either but at least I'm willing to look in the mirror (and I don't prevent people of certain ages from contacting me) and figure it's my own fault. For now, I'm OK because I have an idea of what I want and I'm enjoying being single. Maybe you should do the same.
This is not meant to be mean but you're an average, at best, 45 year old who doesn't want children. Most of the women your age and younger are going to have children. Most of the women 35-40 and younger are likely looking for younger men and though you still have a chance, you face stiff competition from more attractive men and men who have more in common with those women than you do. Your best bet is probably women between 40-50 whose children are already out of the house but you've prevented most of them from contacting you and I'm guessing you aren't contacting them either because they probably don't meet your physical attractiveness level. Then again, I'm of the firm belief that you really shouldn't be demanding any more than you have to offer in return (unless you have a lot of $$$ I guess, and that only matters to people whom you probably don't want to be involved with anyway!)
Look in the mirror, be honest, and open yourself up to more people. If you're not willing to do that, then don't blame your lack of success on anyone but yourself. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 7:40:52 PM | Well everything I say on my profile is true and I have met a some very nice people on here. In fact so far I have found exactly what I was looking for.
I find it annoying when someone puts nothing in their profile - sends you a message that says nothing that grabs you 'wanna chat' no thanks, and then they are offended.
This site is what you make it. If someone says something witty, intelligent or upbeat in their profile or message or has a cute picture I respond.
This site is exactly what you make of it and if you put nothing in you get nothing back.
A few tips to those who are not successful - try to sound intelligent and interesting in your profile and messages. You need to sound a bit more special so someone will pick you from a lot of choices. If you look like you don't even care enough to spell or punctuate what does that say for the rest of you?
Try not to sound needy or negative. One guy had the word lonely in his profile 5 times - I am just not going there.
Look at your picture seriously. What is it saying about you? If you are posing in front of an Elvis on velvet with a big smile on your face - get another picture. If you have your hat on backwards in a picture please do not message anyone older than 20 and expect a response. Dragging your child into your photo (women why would you do this??) please don't, it looks like bait or something.
You get what you put into it. Put in something positive and with care and you will get positivity and care back and well you can ignore the others. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 7:42:05 PM | | LOL this guy has a point. Seriously not very many people are honest as it is what makes anyone think that finding someone online is going to help you screen through the liars more then meeting someone in a bar. And to the chick who had problems with the guy with a kid and a record...NO ONE'S perfect dear. And he only has a record cause he was dumb enough to get caught! But as for the just getting laid part dude..not everyone wants just that! Some people are actually serious about finding love. Don't be a jerk just cause you aren't one of those people! | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 7:53:55 PM | Sorry but that's because you are too fat and ugly and have kids.
well I dont know exactly who is fat and ugly and has kids , but ........
( I realy should shut my mouth now )
there is nothing ugly about being fat .... I am fat and guess what , I betcha I have more to offer then you will ever have ....and I am darn beautyfull ( at least I think so , i dont care what you think )
second . beauty is in the eyes of the beholder .... he over looked you somehow ....
kids.... the best thing that can ever happen to you , unless you are selfish , and have no clue what life is all about ....
your profile , yes I took the time to read it .... maby you need to try sugar daddy.com or something , all your highlights of what you got .............
and by the way all you got aint worth dooh dooh , if you aint got it ... and my friend ,,, you aint got it .....
so how does it feel to be insulted , not to great does it , unless of course you superman and have no feelings , ( then again we did loose superman too ) lol....
be civil , stay friendly and mingle , and someone will come your way
so stay friendly , lighten up and maby you find somebody that will like you the way you are ...
JMO

darnit , that was actualy rude or not ????? lmao | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 7:59:34 PM | | All I can say is that if you can't take a decent picture and have no apparent sense of humor (or a really sh1tty one) you are not going to have much luck in this medium. PoF has been very good to me, didn't meet my girlfriend on here but met a dozen or so good women and still call some of them friend. Bait the hook, pack a lunch and enjoy the view, good things can happen here. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 8:05:10 PM | I've got pics, truth, and detail on my profile. And after 4 years, I've still got nothing. Sure, I've thought about just saying "to hell with it". I've not given up, but I've not been very hopeful as time has passed either.
I do not at all believe that you get out of PoF what you put into PoF. Simply because I've put 4 years of effort into PoF and I've got nothing out. Unless effort means nothing of course.
Sure, giving up is really a crappy way to go. However, I'm pretty well convinced that if you are not a guy who has everything to offer, you will get nowhere here. Players who lie and promise the moon, and know the best way to look and all the right things to say are scoring left and right... you can read about it on the forums. There are tons of women complaining about those same players. Do those women give us guys who aren't players a chance though? Nope. They keep on digging through them, hoping to find the player who gives up the game just for them.
This is not sour grapes. This is observation based on what members are saying in the forums.
The only reason I don't throw away the money on a pay site, is because if I can't even get the spark of attraction here, what guarantee is there that I won't be wasting my money on another site just like I seem to waste my effort here? No guarantee. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 8:23:49 PM | I thought I would relay my experiences for some of the guys out here. The ladies, too.
I had a profile on here for a long time. I had a few pictures of me doing stuff I like, such as hunting and fishing. I wrote a profile outlining what I really wanted. Since I was the type of guy that really wanted true love with one woman, I thought I'd be OK. Yeah, right!!! I got no real contacts and whenever I sent out a message, MAYBE 1 in 10 would respond. After a good long try (I'd say 9 months) I got sick of my ego being bruised. So I deleted my profile, which took me to this forum, oddly enough. I read some stuff here and redesigned myself. I read up online and on books on seducing women, writing profiles, etc. Then I came back.
What did I learn? Women complain that there are no good guys left. They say they all want one thing, are perverts, etc. But as soon as I became one of those guys, I got lots of action. I posted a nice picture of me. Instead of choosing pics that showed who I was, I just went for the one that made me look best. I changed my profile. I put in things that made me sound very confident. Romantic. Wonderful. Successful. I never lied, but I polished the truth to a gleaming shine while stretching it to the point of breaking. When I got them on IM or phone, I continued with the "act", sold myself in the best light I could.
With the "new attitude", I played the numbers game, hitting up any good looking chick I saw. I also got many messages from women contacting me. I stopped looking for "the one" and started looking for "any one". How'd I do?
The first month back, I slept with four women I met on dating sites, including POF. Several followed in the next 2 months. I get lots of nude pictures from women.
So when I WAS the boy next door, no one wanted me. If a woman has to choose between a sweet loving guy and the one with the tight ass, she invariably chooses the tight ass. So I am now the guy with the tight ass. I say what you want to hear. I keep it shallow on my end and deep enough to hook you on yours. I say what you want to hear, and I play the part. And you know what? The very woman that complain about guys like me are the ones that made me. In fact, I have now slept with a few women that didn't even answer me and ignored on my original attempt at POF!
So there you have it, guys. Until women decide they want a real man, be a phony one. You'll get action. And to the ladies, I offer no apology. You made me. | |

Posted: 8/25/2008 8:58:09 PM | I wish everybody is doing well in real life....this is virtual....meaning not all that is said can be true....I'm here just for fun and talking, as for meeting.....that has to be with somebody special. The baby is really cute....congratulations...and if a man uses a dog as a "bait" I think is also really cool, but I won't start a relationship based on the "enhancers" used in his profile. Good luck ladies and gentleman.... | |
