I asked this question just a few weeks back & I was informed that "he" checks his profile to see "who" has viewed him & thinks he is hot,

Think that is classic

I am a forum junkie!!! Actually, my attitude is this: If I am the end of all ends, then he will be on here for forum conversation and he wouldn't step out. If we are a mismatched pair, don't belong then he can leave me or cheat on me here, Match.com, in a bar, in a grocery store, etc. It really depends on the relationship itself and what you mean to each other more than anything.

I haven't really started exclusively dating, but if I was seeing someone, I wouldn't browse the site. I love the forums but I feel like if I stayed it might ruin things. I would say maybe it's the forums. They're addictive.

That is a good question. If I found someone who I was really into. I would talk to them about POF. To see if I was going to stay on it or not. I post alot on forums. I guess it would need a discussion between the both of us.

I think this becomes very addictive for many...sadly. If I found someone, delete, PERIOD, if he was unwilling to do the same I would feel he wasnt that serious and probably let him go. My reason for being on here is to increase my chances of finding companionship. I would hope if I did we could get of the fricken computer and be out taking a walk together instead of surfing on here. LOL

I'm here for the forums, and will likely still be here after (or if) I start seeing someone. Who couldn't love this circus?

I met someone on POF while ago too. We started dating. Undiscussed she deleted her profile, undiscussed I deleted my profile; however, we did discuss after the fact. I am in a 12-step program for the "relationship challenged", maybe most guys should be enrolled - lol. First step is recognizing relationships are important and that you are helplessly, hopelessly, clueless; second step is searching POF forums for deep answers to unanswerable questions. The Forum has all the relationship answers to all the relationship questions. Unfortunately, it takes considerable effort to determine the correct course from among the mass of postings applicable to your particular circumstance. Can't post on the forums if you are not registered so I have a hidden profile that clear states my intentions on POF. Not every coupled man is seeking a by-catch on POF. Serious.

Relationship or not, I'd stay on POF and update my profile accordingly. Lately, the forums are the best thing about this site. They're, interesting, humorous, and sometimes maybe a little bit educational. I look at them every day. There it is. I admit it. My nane is lookinatit and I'm a FORUM JUNKIE!

The last guy I met initially aw me so much I didn't even contemplate coming on here to check if he still was, then when things started to go wrong after I found out he had lied on his profile and I started not to trust him when I came on I found out he was on every day. Eventually he did delete his profile in front of me but by the way he treated me the following week I got the impression that he had made all his mistakes with me, and was probably doing right by the next girl... lucky her he had me to **** up on.

My profile is only visible in the forums. I love forum play. It’s fun to engage in hit and run iconoclasm, launch bombastic strafing runs, and enjoy the thrust and parry of double entendre and innuendo.


I'm with Dharmadude; it's too much fun to quit. I've gotten an email or two from someone who's interested, but failed to notice the "Not Single/Not Looking." I just do like some others: email back with "thanks, but no thanks."

Yeah, but...

[The regular] POF forums are a combination of the Comedy Channel, any one of the daytime soaps, Married with Children, Survivor, Sex and the City and a dash of Outer Limits all rolled into one. Who can resist?


IMO, it's about honesty as well as trust. I'd love my SO to see the forums and he's welcome to read my email, too. I think he'd be rather entertained, too.

How do I handle an issue of my boyfriend online talking to other women? Why do I feel uncomfortable about it even though he says they are just friends and I am the only one he wants to be with? i dont want to be possesive but I cant help being bothered about this. Is there other women out there who feel the same way? Please give me your input on this. thanks God bless

I can't say why anyone else might but I know why I do: I stay until I feel certain of us. I do not hide the fact that I am online nor do I expect my new love interest to take his profile off. I'd rather be chosen than settled for.

I am also here for the forums and think it really sucks that I have to have a profile to post on them. I deleted my dating profile long ago (after meeting a fabulous guy here!) and was just a reader for a long time until I needed some advice that I was to embarrased about to take to my real life friends. I don't think we should have to have a profile the shows up to post in the forums though.

It is an addiction! It is a social network just like anyother place you go and people watch. Just because you have your own life, it is interesting to keep an eye on what others are up to.
