Posted: 8/31/2008 11:17:12 AM | All I know, is that I have met some nice people, made a good friend and have another good friend from here that may turn out to be more. POF has provided me with much benefit already and I cannot say anything bad about it. You only fail at something if you fail to try.

Play the game. I am out with 1-2 new gals every month minimum, plus have back ups in the others I met out here. I hardly have time to date women from RL. Play the game. | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 3:26:39 PM | | Oh good grief. Come on, people. The internet is NO different than real life - it takes time and people can lie. Wow, big surprise. This isn't meant to make dating easier in general, it's meant to give you another place to meet people. The dating game will still have to take place. It will all work out in the end - but you may not get to choose when "the end" comes. Just let it happen. | |

Yes nikiu1, this is the internet, not the
Pandora box to to the promise land of happiness and comparability's.
You may use moistener's to keep your skin supple but the wrinkles will still come!
I'm here just for the fora and laffs yet I do have and know some folks here who are actually are in the present tense,not between A and B in their life, who talk the talk and walk the walk but unfortunately as I read in the paper there is a 10% success rate of meeting life folks on the net!
That being said it's just another venue in meeting people just on a bigger screen which for some you would think the odds would be better but in reality,no.
If I'm wrong what is the success rate out in public before the net? ! 10% ? 20%
Personally I prefer and enjoy the folks who are one on one, who are not in some kind of transitional state and are open and enjoy to smell the roses,heart to heart.
Have fun! :-]  | |

I got one and it was like pulling teeth. When I met her she was on wlefare. But Im the azzho? Go figgure.
Women are not honorable and they have no code that they live by.
Sorry but few men will disagree with that.
If it wasn't for sex women would live in mud holes and eat mud, they sure as hell couldn't build a house.

Posted: 8/31/2008 9:03:09 PM | I have to be honest. In the time I have been here I have met one woman. So far she has been the only one I have met that didn't come off goofy or weird and didn't have her hopes for a man up so high I couldn't reach it. Sorry ladies, Don't mean to be mean here. Just the truth so far. Sometimes it seems like places like this are the last ditch effort for the people that no one else wants. Other peoples throwaways and misfits and the sex obsessed. I shouldn't forget to mention the perverts. (Yes, there are some perverted women on here. I know from personal experience.) I originally came here for the same reason most guys do. I thought, Hey, A free dating website. Surly with all this many people in one place your bound to meet someone. Man, For the most part,I was wrong. Some of them I will never forget. But, Believe me, It wasn't because of there high moral standards. So far I think I have found a sweet lady. But I sure have waded through a lot of muck and trash to find her. | |

Posted: 8/31/2008 10:27:03 PM | I have used a number of sites in the past and to be honest, I am currently meeting the same caliber of women on POF as I was on other sites...but not having to pay $25-$50 a month.
To be honest, I am getting more views and responses on this site than on the others, so I have to disagree with a number of people who have already posted here.
I have had some good experiences, and some bad ones, but all in all, I have no complaints. In fact, this is the only site I've been on where *knock on wood* I haven't received solicitations for porn after spending 10 minutes writing a response to an ad.
When all is said and done, I have to say that this has been the best online dating experience I have ever had.
Thanks POF! If nothing else, I have some great stories to tell. | |

| This site did nothing for me,but god did it cheer the lives up of a few i met on here lol
Posted: 8/31/2008 11:09:46 PM | Well i came on here , simply to have a laugh, smile ,chat and generally fun. I have had plenty of people who obviously dont get my sense of humour, or just say i am an ugly mutter ucker, but who cares. I have no self esteem or confidence problems and have my pic up because i like me, starange as well how 90% of the ones who do send insults to me have no pictures, usual excuse is i want to get to know the person before i show them what i look like, yeah right, has nothing to do with maybe i am not the only ugly one on here and if they didnt block me from answering them once they had messaged me, then my wit would have made them either annoyed or disappointed that they hadn't had, at least a few messages off me.
This site is great because its free and many thanks for the creator of it, but as has been said on here many times, in previous posts, if you dont contact people, how do you expect to get people to notice you? Your profile is the main point of peoples attention. Since i decided to have a laugh and change it i have had plenty of responses , some not so nice , with some people actually believing i am an arsonist lol.
Come on people wake up and stop being so serious and get typing, as for the women who think the men should make the move move , well just message people asking to chat ,is that so hard?
Well done pof anyway from me ,for letting me chat to women on here and making them laugh and for them making me laugh too. | |

Lucky you. When i first started here (been here twice) i was getting some. (No pun intended) I figured it was because i live fairly close to Atlanta. It's been better this time. | |

It's how we react to circumstances that changes our lives for the better.
You met some reasonable people here? Well that ain't bad. People are insulting you? Well at least you are not getting ignored and can work on some snappy comebacks.
Sooo loosen up a little and have some fun with it.

Posted: 9/1/2008 4:26:54 AM | | of course we are talking to other people as well as you, thats how life is, just because you say hello to a person it doesnt mean you own them, after all even in a relationship a little flirting does no harm I would hate to be your girlfriend I bet you are a real control freak | |

Talking is fine with as many people as you like, I do not think that it should continue if you actually start dating someone.

Posted: 9/1/2008 7:08:51 AM | Looking at all the comments, one thing seems to be consistant. Of the people (male and female) that are having fun and meeting people on POF, they all seem to be up-beat and are smiling in their photos. The one's who feel POF sucks are negative and look like it in pictures. Most of the attractive, fun people I've met on POF are just as active in real-life dating activities. If you're out with friends and see ten people of the opposite sex in a club, are you attracted to the best looking of the ten, the one who looks the most disillusioned or the one that looks like they're having the most fun?
In my searching days, I always spent the most time chatting with the people that were happy and funny. Even for those of us that were successful at attracting people in the real world and on POF, we were never drawn to people that "brought us down". More often than not, those contacts never lead to a long-term relationship. But we were always looking for people that were fun to talk to, amd good at communicating their ideas and could throw in a little humour. Smile at the world people, and more often than not it will smile back!  | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 7:18:00 AM | I agree with you perhapsnow......I went on this site last year! And found no one that really seemed compatiable or interesting. Also I found that the forums I wrote on last year can't be erased - and they were a little too racy.....that was then, this is now.
So I came back this year, updated and I am trying again. My only problem with these guys are ...you talk to them, e-mail, whatever and then don't hear from them for 2 or 3 weeks and one night one IMs you and you want to tell him to contact 1-900-BABE-4-HIRE within ten minutes of the conversation. I mean I like sex as much as the next person, probably more but if I haven't met someone face to face how can he expect me to "play the game" on an IM?
They need to have at least the decency to want to meet me somewhere for coffee and talk to me first. There are sites for solicitation - and I'm over 30 so one night stands aren't on the agenda anymore.
The majority of the men on this site seem to be really good guys. In some instances their communication skills really aren't that good but there are decent, normal men out there . I HOPE!
In any event I'm looking - I think I'll just chalk this last instance up to a bad experience and let it go - THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT!

Posted: 9/1/2008 12:39:27 PM | | I havent met anyone on here that is seriously looking for a real relationship. I have only met guys that want sex. I am totally disgusted and have decided to delete my account. | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 1:00:59 PM | For me, I feel a bit embarassed when I make the initial contact and I'm snubbed with no return response. No, silence is not better that just saying "thank you, but you smoke" or "thanks, but I don't think we are compatible" or "sorry, but I don't want just a friend right now" sorta thing.
So...if I don't stay interested here, I'll be following Maggie. Meanwhile, I found the forums and being HERE is much more fun than looking for someone.  | |
