| Why do we come to Plenty Of Fish ?
Posted: 9/24/2008 2:10:14 PM |  I don't believe that this thread has infringed upon any of POF's RULES, but then one never can say how mood swings will go, I also have not mentioned any other web-sites, only that others do exist...
 POF dose not go Flat as often as other web-sites, because of the versitality of it's numbers, but in my 20 there are a great many women who say they live in Carpinteria Ca. but in reality they live in Wisconsin,Creet,Iowa,NYC, Idaho,Whoming, so it is very simple to get into a Long Distance Relationship even living in a small costal community of 20,000 or so...  | |

Posted: 9/24/2008 2:12:19 PM | I'm looking too date, but am 20 (not old enough for the bar scene, not young enough for high school parties, a weird middle ground), so I just thought I'd take a look around. Also, why the heck isn't rioisk getting messages? He should.
I like the forums too though!

Posted: 9/25/2008 6:48:04 PM | I signed up simply because during an Internet search one day I accidentally came across a post in the POF forum about animals, so after reading for a bit I decided to join so I could post. Not here for dating at all, just interested in some of the threads. My overall impression about POF is that there seems to be an unusual sense of negativity and judgement in many threads (moreso than many other forums I've been to in the past years), but there's also a lot of inciteful, interesting people and topics. So I come here to peruse the forum, and if a subject comes up that piques my interest, I will participate.  | |

Posted: 9/25/2008 6:52:21 PM | | Initially to date, but now it's mainly a social site for me. Love the forums and have made contact with many former military and college pals, (It's amazing the volume of people that are here!) so I guess it's more to me than a dating site. I've met quite a few really good people here and made some nice friendships. Thats not to say that I wouldn't be open to a relationship if I met the right man here, but it isn't my main reason for sticking around. | |

I think we came here initially because "not paying for love' as the Creator stated made sense~ When we got 'burnt'(or worse not even singed) here one too may times, we realized its the only site that has such an array of Forums. For the most part, you can read about anything from Penis' to Politics Scr*wing us!~ <<<<< Hmmmm.....they run hand in hand in lots of ways!

Posted: 9/29/2008 12:53:52 AM | i'm not sure. it was recommended to me by a friend
trying to meet someone in my city is nigh impossible
plus i'm a computer/internet nerd at heart, so this domain (you see what i did there?) of mine will always feel alittle more comfortable then bars and clubs
and this forum thing is bigger then i expected which is nice, i have a place to explore thats new | |

Posted: 9/29/2008 6:46:39 AM | As someone who travels a good bit, I was referred to this site by a friend who said that it would be a great way to network as I'm scooting about the country. I've found this to be very true and have had a ball meeting some of the folks I've corresponded with here on this site.
Also, I love the forums ... a great way to vent, share ideas and feelings, broaden my perspective, gain knowledge and expand my consciousness about any number of things that are discussed here.
If I were to find a significant other here, that would be cool ... not necessarily my priority but I would certainly entertain that prospect if it were to present itself.

Posted: 9/29/2008 8:47:05 AM | I enjoy POF because I love to laugh.
I'm sure in your own mind you feel your different from the rest, that
you've attained a substantial degree of autonomy from organized societal pressures.
But the postings on this site clearly indicate that the majority of relationship preferences are influenced by peers, culture, society, and too much damn TV/movies.
The greatest barrier to folks not supposedly finding an SO is the person they
see in the mirror every morning. (really it is)
If some of these same men/women on POF were in a situation like the "I AM LEGEND"
movie do you think they would have a problem if the opposite sex arrived
on the scene? NOPE.
All of their preferences, uncompromising standards, and preconceived ideas about
what embodies a mutually beneficial relationship would simply blow away in the wind.
Are we so afraid of change that we ignore how we truly feel just to conform to society's expectations?
So many people seem to be trying to find an SO that fits some societal idea of what constitute a good relationship more so than really following their heart.

Posted: 9/29/2008 10:30:16 PM | | A few years back my girlfriend passed away her folks gave me most of her things including a computer which I had never used before..I wanted to find out how she really died there were alot of questions..She was my ex girlfriend but we were very close anyway I thought her current boyfriend had something to do with her death as she had called me up on several occasions crying saying he was treating her bad...Well it took me along time to come to terms with her death..She had more to do with it as there were existing medical problems still I heard years later when her boyfriend found out I was poking around he left town.Anyway I was screwing around and found pof and joinned I was looking for friends and found many but I was so depressed when I got here the most important things in my life are my cats, my family, neighbors, landlord, God, and Plenty Of Fish..I sincerly doubt I will ever meet the one but it would be nice. | |

Posted: 9/30/2008 6:03:10 AM | When I first came to POF, I was curious. I checked out a few sites and left after about a week. Most of them one had to pay for...and I couldn't see the point in paying to find someone. When I came here, I wanted to see different profiles of who was looking and what people were looking for. Yes, I would have loved to meet someone for a LTR, yet I really enjoy my creative life. It would be fun though to meet someone who enjoys most of the same things I do (chruch, writing, art and music)...yet the forums have really been kind of interesting and fun.
I was going to unsubscribe to POF, and now I just like to drop in to the forums. It's just nice not to feel alone sometimes in being single. Most of my friends have dedicated and wonderful marriages. So awesome to watch. They are blessed in a special way.
Take care all and thank you POF. | |

Posted: 9/30/2008 10:17:17 AM | | I came her actually on the advice of my ex... After we split she pointed me in this direction (as one of her friends did to her) in an attempt to help me out with finding new friends. I'm here for friendship, but up for almost anything that comes my way. I've given up on actually searching for romance. In my experience, it turns up when it wants to. | |

Posted: 9/30/2008 1:17:49 PM | I found "pof" by accident while surfing one day when I was off and joined. Hey, who wouldn't join a free dating site if you're looking. It's better than having your card automatically billed each month and there's no customer service to give you a success story about them being #1. <img src=http://www.plentyoffish.com/smiles/icon_201.gif border=0>
The forums section is quite addictive and I like intereacting with everyone on here.
Also, I have made some nice friends and though I prefer meeting a woman in person, this isn't a bad way of cupid being a role player. Sure there are flakes but most people seem to be okay in my book. In my opinion,this site should be rated #1 . The only flaw that I can find is that if someone is interested in you or vice versa, the distance part can limit things and be a turn off .
Aside all that, "pof" get's 4 stars from me from me.
Who was that who said you can't meet anyone by staying home? | |

Posted: 10/2/2008 12:03:58 PM | | I joined around the time of my last birthday with anticipation of connecting with someone to share the future with. My future is wide open. An exciting concept; but on the flip side, also intimidating. I found I wasn’t as comfortable with this approach as I need to be. Being out in cyberspace for anyone to see is a little daunting to me. Posted a picture after a few days...shy, maybe; cautious, always. In the meantime, found out the forums were entertaining and almost more informative than profiles! Have collected some good recipes too! So, POF turned out to be forums for me, for now. Still holding out hope for the initial reason. Maybe next birthday will have a different tale to tell | |
