Posted: 6/24/2005 12:06:02 PM | I've learned that there are some exceptionally bright and funny people out there. I've made friends everywhere and that's nice.
I've also learned that you sometimes you need to be assertive and sometimes you need to be patient and only experience can teach you the difference. | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 12:10:35 PM | I learned .........
there are more creeps online than I used to run into in law enforcement.
being careful is the first commandment.
that a dancing banana gets annoying when used more than once in email.
married men should be horse-whipped when they say they are single on a dating site.
the block feature is a great thing.
moderators should be taken to dinner at least once a week, for the crap they put up with.
that last but not least .... there are some FANTASTIC people here and I'm glad to have met them! | |

I've learned that the men who want decent women would rather respond to a sexy boobage photo than the profile. What do you think?
<<< Considers sexy boob shot to enhance profile... But then, I'm not looking for men. | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 3:46:58 PM | I have learned that the weirdest things can happen on these websites. Such as having your ex (from 10 years ago) send you a saucy email trying to pick you up - Not realizing you used to date!!! LOL | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 4:48:07 PM | | I've learned that the women who have "passed" on getting to know me because: (1) I live too far away, (2) Don't look like Tom Cruse (3) They have a pre-set idea of their "perfect" man, are missing out on knowing a fantastic person. Dating in general is like a job interview, with the difference on here being that you can be fired before you even walk in the door. | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 4:56:57 PM | | I have learned that I won't ever have sex with a woman again, because I'm what women want to avoid ending up with. It cracks me up, but everything does these days. I forget the word for it. It sounds something like 'whaaaaaaaahhhhhh'. | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 6:06:06 PM | | That it is almost impossible! But I have met some great people and I love the forums. I made an attempt, but the distance thing got in the way...and I am finding the guys that I am interested are not local so....if it happens fine ...if not fine too. | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 7:59:55 PM | I'm new to POF, but have experience from other dating sites. The biggest thing I've learned is to have patience and lots of it. If you put the time in, something always comes through eventually.
And remember, you might get rejected or things might not work out a million times. But the good news is you only need it to work ONCE. And if you have faith (don't mean the religious kind), eventually it will. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 7:20:57 PM | "Perhaps I'm destined to always be the seeker... and never to find the 'soulmate'"
Wow!! Do I know how that feels........
I have been in seemingly perfect relationships that got....boring? or I just "lost that lovin' feeling"....I'm not sure what happened, but it ended that Excitement part of the relationship and I felt the need to move on because deep down; I knew she was not my 'soulmate'.
So here I am, staying out of the bar, trying the 21st century way of "first contact".
Some good insights on this thread.

Posted: 6/25/2005 7:53:30 PM | | Whoa cowboy, I was thinking stay the heck away from Texas...azzholes and elbows, this ain't professional wrestling tiger, the next morning the other guy looks worse than you? What is going on in Michigan? I think that maybe you need to put on your Sunday best, and drive into town and go to a nice social dance or something. Good women, decent women and nice women that your momma would love don't take to this kind of actions or language. Lose the attitude, clean up and make a serious quest for a woman that can't beat you at arm wrestling. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 7:58:27 PM | | radio Distance is a major obstacle. Get real. Unless you have a private jet at your personal disposal, don't expect me to fly to see you. I don't travel I have a real job, my distance requirements (no exceptions) are reality. Long distance relationships are a total loss, unless you're a celebrity or have access to those kind of resources. I won't travel because I can't, have done it before to be lured into a flat out disappointment. So don't want to anymore, unless you can fly to see me, don't bother. Don't email me, I'll be real with you and not romanticize with someone who doesn't live in my state or country. I'm doing you a favor saving you the letdown when one of us has to say, this just doesn't work. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 8:02:40 PM | I've learned 2 things:
(1) There are A LOT of people who don't have their spell/grammar check enabled ... GRRRRRRR
(2) That this form of dating is one big blind date, no matter how many pictures you exchange. So on the good side, it has challenged me to know myself better and get rid of some of my pre-conceived notions about "what I want"?
There are some awesome people on here, and some I have met. Not one single regret so far! Life's too short to stop learning

Posted: 6/25/2005 8:41:50 PM | | Actually this forum is filled with useful advice and interesting perspectives on what women want. I am absorbing information like a computer surfing sponge and I am certain that in the future this info will prove a gold mine. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 9:00:34 PM | | apefoot So young to know so much. If you've figured that out, it's only ONE, you're way ahead of the "pack". Maybe you should be sharing your wisdom with some of your older fellow fishermen who are old enough to be your dad, that still post and grip and whine about the numbers thing, and haven't learned how to "fish" for what they want. I honestly don't expect you to be around long, I think you'll land your fish real soon. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 9:02:24 PM | Men treat online dating as a more efficient and painless way to MACK by writing generic letters and mass spamming them to women.
Alot of guys claim to like to ummm... give oral.. in "fact" more than receiving it (yeah right.)
Even tho I don't show too much physically, 80% of men who msg me msg to let me know they'd be willing to "HELP ME OUT" by being a booty call....
There are guys who want a girlfriend, and guys who don't... If he wants a relationship, enter carefully... he might be needy.. and if he doesn't... don't waste your time hoping he'll realise you are something special. "He's just not that into you."
There really are a "plenty of fish" in the sea. and I LOVE seafood. | |
