Posted: 10/14/2008 7:32:37 PM | really it's hard to say what's real and what isnt on this site. Its too bad for some of us guys/gals that really want to find a decent relationship or a friend, and we cant, or get tangled up in games or 2 to 3 emails back and forth and thats it. One day we'll reel in the right one...maybe soon for me ...maybe soon for you | |

Posted: 10/16/2008 8:56:20 PM | I think alot of people put expectations TOO HIGH.
What makes you think you'll meet your SOULMATE online in a few months, when you haven't met them in real life in the last 5 or 10 or 20 years...
Think about it. Be realistic.
The best lovers, are best friends first... | |

Posted: 10/16/2008 11:22:54 PM | I completely agree with Joulesaffection's statement, best friends are the best lovers. However, the problem lies with trying to actually create a friendship. How in the hell can you actually create any type of relationship if no one is willing to give you a shot. I have messaged more than 15 women on here in the 2 weeks I have been a member, and no real reply from any of them. The only reply I got was a semi-sarcastic message I sent to someone. Do you have to be an ***hole to have some sort of response from women in South Florida?
I am realistic. I am not looking for someone that is drop-dead gorgeous. I have dated women of all types of body shapes and personalities. When it comes to 'high expectations', Florida is the epitome of superficiality. I've been single for 3 years mainly because I have not meet anyone approachable since then.
I have always been a skeptic when it comes to online dating. This site only furthers my skepticism. I will delete my profile shortly. I'm just too tired to deal with it at this moment. I was much happier focusing on my carreer than worring about how much my love life sucked and how lonely I am. Shame on my friends for nagging me about giving this shit a try. | |

What makes you think you'll meet your SOULMATE online in a few months
miss joules-a bit of a contradictory statement-
in one phrase you state you believe people put their expectations TOO HIGH
you owe it to yourself to raise the bar...my expectations will remain high and i will be patient in the "process"
then you state...what makes you think you'll find your soulmate in a few months?...
realistically anyone who has HIGH standards is not going to "think" it will only take a few months to find someone special....we know it will be a lengthy process... | |

Posted: 10/17/2008 7:42:14 AM | | nooo, guys guys guys, I got to the stage where I was going to give up on this site, then when I looked at my profile, i realised that what i had put wasn't me. I put like I was looking for abit of fun, when really I was looking for somethingmore serious, and since I changed my profile, then i got responses galore, but now I am dating a really nice lady from near me and she is absolutely amazing. so keep at it, double check your profiles, sell yourselves! good luck!

I didn't mean your expectations for a person or a relationship.. like, oh I want a girl thats 5'5" and 120 lbs... or she has to have blonde hair or blue eyes...
I meant, what we were talking about, People giving up after a few weeks or months, because they haven't found anyone... "THE EXPECTATION" that one will find someone within a short period of time...
I'm not sure why it didn't make sense the first time. | |

Posted: 10/23/2008 2:14:56 PM | I've been on here for over a year and only had one date. I get no responses from email and there are way too many married men on here. Apparently free dating sites are not the way to go.
I hope the lack of response is not about me (yes, I am a big girl; HUGE DISADVANTAGE) but either way, the site stinks. | |

Posted: 10/24/2008 4:39:26 AM | The feedback I've got from women I've dated online is how surprised they are I actually look like my photo, because apparently men rarely if ever look like their picture, especially when the pic is movie star looks. lol So look at it this way, the joke is on those with unrealistic expectations when their Jude Law date turns out to be David Koche. Same goes for men with unrealistic expectations.
The advantage of a free site is that its.... well its free, but the disadvantage is that its more open to time wasters. On a paid site with millions $$ in advertising you will find the quality and quantity of profiles improve and they're more serious especially when they are paying to contact you. So at least try both, or else just bait em by photoshopping your head on brad pitt's torso. lol! | |

Posted: 10/24/2008 8:52:28 PM | dejan01 I agree with you 100%. I commented recently to a guy how accurate his photo was. You must beware also of Glamour photos profesionally done and old photos. A woman's hair style easily gives that away.
Very good point too about the quality of profiles on paid sites. | |

Posted: 10/25/2008 4:32:57 AM | | I agree - this site is a waste of time. I had no responses or anything on here.. I'll meet someone eventually when I'm not looking, so I don't bother looking anymore, esp not on here! | |

Posted: 10/26/2008 9:44:42 AM | | oh, there is someone for everyone, but it doesn't mean they will ever meet each other........... how's that for optimism. i agree with most of the guys that MOST women on here are jaded, unrealistic, bitter, angry, and view a long term relationship as an economic opportunity...... | |

Posted: 10/26/2008 10:17:38 AM | I sometimes think I will give up on this site because I do write to some people & just never get a reply. I try always try to reply to say thanks but no thanks, but they can be very difficult emails to send as I know how hard it is for me to send a message at times. I also know when some people do send those type of emails back they get nothing but abuse?
This is a free website so especially women can get so many messages they can pick & choose who they want to reply to, not always the same for a bloke, especially if you don't have film star looks. I have the maximum pictures on my profile, but there are only 2 that really get women looking at my profile, the one of me stood next to the Zonda & the one of me covered in mud, so I think that shows that it's money & comedy that some of you ladies seem to be looking for?
Why do I stay, well I'm still single & quite a shy person so don't find it that easy when chatting to people on the pub scene, unless I've had a couple of beers, & too many & I can talk utter rubbish. I do wish this site had an alcohol inhibitor, coming home & sending emails when under the influence is such a big mistake But being on a site like this, when you do finally get a reply means that you can meet people you wouldn't ordinarilly meet on a night out. It's just another way to meet people? | |

Posted: 10/27/2008 5:00:34 AM | | nsyfsingle don't let this online distorted reality get to you. You gotta remember there are always heaps more men on here than women, and they probably get dozens of emails and probably only bother to read half of 'em. Use this as just another outlet to meet people and if you hang around long enough it will work for ya. | |

Posted: 10/27/2008 12:48:52 PM | Actually, this is the best dating site that I have found. Granted, most of the ppl that I have talked to haven't been interested in anything other than tryin to get laid or just want to chat, I have met a couple really good ppl on here and we are good friends, just didnt have the chemistry to take it further. I know a few ppl who have met their soulmates on here and are now married with children. Good luck to yall! I am deleting my account simply because there have been a few deaths in my family and I have to deal with some things around here. But, rest assured, once things calm down a bit, I will check back in. Thanks for everything!

Posted: 10/27/2008 1:58:16 PM | | I'm leaving because I believe this site does not do enough to combat the shallowness of society. I would recommend as a much better free site. It has fun tests and quizzes and allows people to learn more about you as a person rather than just basically based off of a few photos and paragraphs. | |

The lot of you need to get a grip, every single one of you that are on here complaining about how bad the sight is because you aint met anyone, need to look in the mirror !! You are all pot ugly. No wonder you cant get noone, dont blame the site and give yourselves a shake Au Revoir | |

Posted: 10/28/2008 9:02:55 AM | | Don't blame all women for the actions of a few. As for it goes both ways - there are good and bad men on this site and they too are full of Crap... | |

Do not place the blame on us women. Some of us are very kind and decent you know and often overlooked beyond the surface. You want someone who is b!tch and a completely drop dead gorgegous.
Hahaha thats bullshit, the guys on this site want to meet a good woman who he cant bring home to his parents...its you guys who want the bad boys, thugs, and fake men then **** about it on this very site.... | |

Posted: 10/30/2008 10:21:39 AM | | It's not the site! You're right, it's society! Let's face it MOST men are superficial and do what that Barbie. Even when they say in their profiles it's not the looks that matter, it's BS. I met one of these "looks don't matter" guys and I could tell when he picked me up that he was not happy! We went to lunch (he actually pointed to a chair and said "sit there") and basically told me that had not had a stroke he would never had been out with someone like me. I was so angry! How dare he! He was certainly nothing to look at and extremely overweight himself! But again, most men are extremely superficial and that's no going to change! I too put in my profile that I am plus sized and if that bothers someone they need not send me anything. After all no one should be judged by their looks or size, only by their heart, personality, etc. | |
