| You're in a relationship, but you have a profile on POF just for the threads? Really?
Posted: 3/17/2009 1:35:33 PM | I use to have my profile open even though I was in a relationships. Stephanie and I thought that what was written there might help others to see why things worked so well for us. I got lots of wonderful correspondence from people that really liked what was there. I also got so much flack and grief from the paranoid, male haters who lurk here looking for people to torture that I hid it. I am still here and posting in forums. I am marrying the love of my life on July 25th on the spot where the moment came , two years ago, that we both knew we were in love. Not available , not looking, but I do have some things I want to say when the subject(s) arise.
Cheers and good luck to all,
Keith | |

Posted: 3/17/2009 2:07:32 PM | Why do you find that hard to believe? The threads are awesome here....
Have you not realized what the category of what your looking for on your profile is for?...duh...some people put friends and really do mean it....I wish they had a category for looking for "fan of forums"
There are really some people that are deceptive about what they are really looking for but they really do give themselve away after a while....perhaps you've run across some people that are not honest.... | |

Posted: 3/17/2009 7:49:25 PM | | Well, you will always find some liars in the bunch. A friend of mine was on this site for a while when she began to date someone she met elsewhere. She changed her profile to say 'forums only', but one day logged in to find her 'boyfriend' had signed on (he had posted in the forums not knowing she also did). She brought up the topic of this site with him one day, and he claimed it was just 'entertainment' (still not knowing she was a member), but began to ask for suggestions in the profile review forum about how to improve his profile, and adding comments about the type of woman he would 'connect' with. He still can't figure out why she rarely speaks to him. But, I think a lot of people come here just for the forums. I know that's pretty much what I do these days. | |

Posted: 3/18/2009 6:49:29 AM | | I will agree that some people on here probably are liars. My profile tho couldn't be any more clear I don't think that I am engaged and happy. I still have the jerks on here who contact me and say you're lying, you cheat on your man and you know it. I usually get this from the guys who contact me and I tell them I'm just here for the forums, read my profile. Then they get hostile and start accusing me of things. | |

Posted: 3/18/2009 8:33:42 AM | why is this so hard for you to comprehend OP?...alot of ppl who are hooked up in relationships come on here for the forums only...this site has the best threads ever..just because someone is in a relationship, doesn't mean they're dead and shouldn't voice their opinions on topics of interest ... socializing via computer with ppl is no diff than being on a site like facebook in my opinion
when I am dating someone, I change my stat...if SO didn't like the fact that I was still on this site for the forums, that would be his problem not mine...relationships are suppose to be based on trust are they not?...if he didn't trust me...or he is an insecure dude...that would tell me he's not the one for me and time to move on
re: JadeGreen...often wondered myself why no option like that on here..."Fan of Forums" or "Here for Forums Only" | |

Posted: 3/26/2009 6:25:42 PM | I have my profile hidden but interact with the forums. I was away from the forums for a while and returned just recently. While I was away I joined an organization called Toastmasters. It is a world wide organization that helps people with public speaking and leadership skills.
By reading and interacting with various threads that interest me, I have found a new source of inspiration for basing my speeches that I give on. POF is a world wide organization and the subject matter, information, and opinion is wonderfully diverse. Personally, if someone says that they're here just for the forums, I believe them. I am too. | |

Posted: 3/26/2009 7:39:33 PM | | I joined this site when I became single last year. When I got back with him for a bit I stayed on the site, I put my profile as 'not single/not looking'. I never found anyone off here anyway so even when I was single I wasn't really looking, I really only joined to check the site out because I had become single, I found out about the site, so I just joined in a casual manner, thought why not, and then just didn't bother deleting my profile. He has since left me again... but I'm not looking still. I hardly ever come on here but might as well stay on, for the threads or whatever. People can message me to talk if they want. | |

Is it just me who feels that if you're engaged and here for the forums only why you have pictures of you french kissing your fiance, it just seems like a tease if you ask me. If you're engaged and here for forums only, why show pictures of you kissing and frenching? Obviously way too much into PDA and not here for forums only it seems, so you get attention but you're asking for it IMO. | |

Posted: 3/27/2009 7:44:17 AM | | I'm NOT in a relationship and feel that I'm on here just for the threads. Really! I wanted the status choice "Single/Not Looking." Why does that make so many people angry like little babies, you shouldn't be here if you don't want to date? Ever hear of taking a break because of bad experiences, too much drama, bad choices, life circumstances, etc., doesn't mean we have to hide ourselves if we want to be on a dating site. I understand it's a dating site but I don't understand those who get so upset about people who aren't dating if they say so in their profile. | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 11:19:43 AM | There are HUNDREDS of news sites, and pages dedicated to discussions on a variety of topics. So to say I am just here for the forums, is an effort to conceal, especially when you go out of your way to point it out.
YOU DON'T OWE ANYONE HERE AN EXPLANATION!
So who are you attempting to convince?
You don't come to a dating site, a free one at that, for forums.
It's funny, when the one person is blabbing about how they are just looking for friends, or are just here for the forums, and then they ask you out for coffee, then when they see you at a show with a girl, they get that creepy, "I'm not jealous, but I really am so I have to hide it mentality."
And the same person who is claiming they are just here for the forums, prolly has a mailbox filled with messages with attempted hookups....
Here is a thought...I am pretty sure you can sign up for the forums without the singles profiles... so why not?
OP, did you ask to look into the persons account yet?
______________
You know what this site needs?
A warning thread
That way you can avoid scammers who are married, sneaky etc. If you go on a date with someone from here, and they try to use your hole ladies, you'd be able to post your account of what happened. Also this would help to eliminate those messages from creepy old married men who message the same crap to 100 women hoping the lonely depraved ones will be dumb enough to fall for their crap.
Think about it. If it is one one lady or man saying the person was a creep it is one thing.
But if collectively 10 women from the same city say that some guy all pretended to be in love with them then disappeared, he could be banned....
It's like a NEGATIVE testimonial...and it should be a feature on this site...

Posted: 4/6/2009 7:06:07 PM | Yep.. I just like an occassional chat or a good chuckle from the forums. I have it on my profile that I'm not looking for romance. I'm in a LDR and sometimes we hit rocky spots..its nice to read posts about others being in the same boat...comforting in a way. I work all the time and don't get out to socialize much. Seeing the same friendly faces on the forums each day makes me feel less alone, even though I don't usually chat with them on a regular basis, it has become familiar enough to me to bring me back each day. Not everyone here is out for games. To those of you who support your fellow POF'ers by posting encouraging notes, THANK YOU! You brighten my days. | |
