Posted: 9/21/2008 1:35:44 PM | | Amen to that!! I'm very visual and if I don't get some attraction to them, I don't go any further. That's the first step, anyone says different isn't being honest or there wouldn't be so many people on sites looking for someone, you'd just pick a guy and be gone. I have an ok outside, good be better, but the woman I am inside far out weighs any faults someone would find on the outside, but if this is a beauty contest, no one wins. | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 1:38:39 PM | | Yeah you!! Can't remember where or who I read all that from, he should get off the site if ALL the women are full of crap. Who would want to meet him, he has anger issues by the sounds. | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 1:49:55 PM | | You've had countless dates and 1 relationship?? Well that's alot more than other's have had, are you sure it's the women?? If your a great guy why would you have to date so many?? I'm not here to meet a movie star or someone with money, if that were true would I come in here?? I also don't play games, hate them, in all fairness "some" men have unrealistic expectations as well, they look like they have let themselves go and yet want a perfect 10. Pictures aren't the tell all of it, I met 2 guys(years ago) that posted someone else's picture and when we met one guy thought it was funny and said if I had posted my real picture would you have met me? I drove off, it was dishonest and how could you trust anything they said, lying right up front like that, so it isn't just women. I've only been here a little over a week and I already see it's like a beauty contest-Beauty and the Beast for sure. | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 2:39:59 PM | | Hi this is what I see for both sides is that it is to easy to say no. Unless one takes some risk and uses that good old gut feeling about someone it probably won't work. I am quilty to of window shopping but have also seen many ladies say they are holding out for the best.Then when that shiny new package is empty on the inside then then they are surprised. It does not take long to meet someone and if he or she is not the one then you have made a new friend. Friends could help one another in meeting others too creating like a saftey net for all.Thanks | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 2:40:07 PM | | I have been reading all these messages about giving up on this site. My advice is, don't. I still haven't found the right person for me, mostly because the guys that I have met do not portray themselves as who they really are. And the last guy that I met gave me the worst disspointment. But I know for sure that there is someone out there for me, as there is definitely someone that's out there for you. The main key is to be yourself, whether good or bad. Some people may like you, some may don't. You just have to roll with the punches. | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 8:54:15 PM | | Let me just say: not ALL beautiful women are ****es..many are also very kind and decent, but they too get just as fed up with men who judge them only on one asset (and overlook all of the most important ones). If men were more true to themselves and their own needs, as opposed to being more concerned about how a woman "presents" to the rest of the world, they'd be a lot less lonely and a lot more happy...REAL men are this way, actually, and there are still a few of them out there... so hang in there. | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 9:00:17 PM | | Hi Blondestillhoping. Visual counts for so much? Actually, research study after research study shows that "chemistry" is based on SMELL (not looks). Maybe that's why a lot of people aren't having any luck finding their one-and-only. The perfume industry has made a fortune on this one fact. | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 4:17:18 PM | I've been a member for over a year now and nothing, no one ever even looked at my profile, Not one person. Either there's no one really on this site or they forgot to post my profile becuse not one, not a single person to even look at my profile in over a year come on!! Get real. And I've sent messages to women on this site, and not one ever replied So I personaly belive this site is full of profiles of people that are not even real.
And it's not just this site I've been on other sites too, and even proved the some of the profiles where fakes, I found one profile on one site so I googled her screen name, I found her on 4 other websties. Same picture Same Profiles, But diffrent citys she lived in. Also found thru one site she had a diffrent screen name, so I googled that and found her again on 6 more sites, again all diffrent citys as home's but same picture and profiles. Less shes part of a mass cloneing project or her profile is a fake that many sites are just re-using. And as for this being a free site so that won't happen, becuse there no reason for it, Ahh how do you think they pay for the server space? There are ads on this and other sites like it, So the more people they get to come here the more they make. So ya they have all the reason in the world to fake profiles.
Sorry if I sound Bitter, But in truth I am, these sites pray on poor lonily people and make money off them. | |

I agree Candra, however women do the exact same thing. Neither gender has a monopoly on doing this. Men go for the looks so they can be with the hottest woman, and women need the guy with a high profile job so they brag to their girlfriends "Hey, I'm dating a Doctor." | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 4:35:21 PM | | well a bunch of the ones that are posting from differant cities are just scamers too and all they after is just one thing too i found that out the hard way the only thing they want from you is your money and after one scamed me out of over 5000 dollars i turned her into that site and they didnt do a damn thing about it either so you really have to watch out who you even write to to begin with also and get this she has even tried to get back in touch with me again and if i can get the chance to get my 5000 dollars back from her one way or another ill dang sure do it to her too and specially watch out for the ones that write back to you telling you that they are really in Nigeria Africa too all they are is nothing but scammers too big time or for that matter in Africa any wheres over there | |

Just to let you know...I just looked at your profile, but since I'm on "stealth mode" (like many people are), I won't appear in your "viewed me" function:)
So it's possible that many people have indeed viewed your profile, but that they are choosing to do like I do, hence why it appears that no one is looking when if fact they are.
And now for something positive....my daughter and her boyfriend (both in their thirties) who met here on POF, have been happily cohabiting for the last couple of years and are now the proud new parents of a beautiful and healthy baby boy - their first child (and my first grandson:)
And they both claim to have found their soul-mate in each other. And yep...they're "normal" ... in fact, they're both good, decent, regular, hard-working everyday people just like you or me...so yes, it CAN happen:)

Posted: 9/22/2008 5:40:49 PM | I can absolutely positively promise you that there are lots of real people on this site. And as I have read over tis forum there runs a whole list of double standards mentioned,AND TRUE ,and some things perhaps not known by the ladies or the guys and should perhaps be included in the opening suggestions..
Guys do not EVER go to INTIMATE ENCOUNTERS and even say hi to any one unless you want to cut you throat on this sight. Once you do you will never be allowed to talk to anyone who says "cannot have asked for..you know the drill. Found that out the hard way.
One of my old customers was a nympho,and outside of the hobbyshop I could always find her here on intimate-I would say hi etc the go back to meeting women. Except I could not talk to them....HUH???????????? Then I figured out what was happening-and my doc hit me
with the exercise need for heart and I said to heck with it all and was completely honest. But you know-honesty doesn't get you much on these fairy tale sites. Gals guys get caught in situations and separated too.Why is it ok for gals to be separated and guys to be players and scum of the earth? Why is it that that I should go back and do "the right thing" and give up all the things I enjoy the most in life-including making someone besides me feel good,find lots of friends,and commit suicide-because you got trompsed on. Maybe your way of looking at thing led to it?Probably not-But look at yourslf now before it gets worse.And gals-don't say Intimate encounters or friends or whatever if you are looking for a gravy train or boyfriend/fiance/ltr-that is called bait and switch-we are not allowed to do it in retail don't do it here-and guys-same thing-be honest and say-Hey I would-like ... and clean up face it guys we aren't going to win play girl again-especially if a hot green jungle was in the past-so just go and be honest. Ok reporting to the rock pile for the stoning | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 10:18:37 PM | So what it sounds like here is if I posted that I've got cash to burn, and I put up a picture of *insert hottie man's name here* I'll get more than the 0 e-mails I have gotten so far?
While this may be true, I dont think ALL women work like that. Yes there are shallow ones out there (as there are shallow men), the object is to pick and weed the shallow ones out. As far as people going for plain ones or bigger people, dont dispair as there are people who do prefer those over the "barbies". They are fewer then the "barbie seekers" to be sure. But they are out there, and some of them may be a bit to shy to speak up for fear of rejection. Its our job to find them unfortunatly.
Just my humble opinion. | |

Posted: 10/13/2008 10:10:56 PM | | CordlessTaco, so true. BOTH sexes are guilty of this for sure. As doctor Phil would say...How's that been working for ya? There are 10 million seeking singles on this site alone, 1 in 2 (or 3 depending on your area) marriages end in divorce, and my best friend (a family therapist) tells me that in 9 out of 10 marriages that do stay together the partners can hardly tolerate each other! Yikes...I say let's start chosing people for ourselves and our own needs, and NOT to impress others around us. | |

Posted: 10/13/2008 10:59:46 PM | I have to agree with Amanda Jane. What is with the temper tantrum? That you are ready to give up says a lot about your personality and I am sure that is coming acrossed in your profile and to the girls you have contacted. If you know of a better way of meeting people and the girl you are looking for then what are you doing here anyhow?
I don't have a problem with this site. Any site, bar, party that you go to to meet people are going to have the bad elements to weed through. Why should POF be any different? If you are not getting a response, maybe you should consider looking at your profile or messages a little more objectively. And heaven forbid that someone isn't interested in you. I am sure even those "barbie dolls" mentioned earlier get some forms of rejection. Thats all part of the online dating scene.  | |

Posted: 10/13/2008 11:19:07 PM | | GBrown2545 from what you had said and some others, it sounds like you do exactly what you complain about. Quite possibly you need to lower your standards a little. I mean the "way older" and "just ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road" women are looking for someone to care for as well just like yourself. We all have an idea of what we are looking for. Don't let the people who are after the wrong thing ruin it for you. That's not going to give you what you are looking for either. | |

Posted: 10/14/2008 4:11:46 PM | | Full of crap?! Your profile states you're married and want an intimate encounter. WOW! Either you're really "hard" up, or you think the many intelligent women out here who are sincere and want to settle down with a DECENT guy are stupid! As for one of the intelligent women, I wouldn't touch a married man with a 10 foot pole! | |
