Posted: 6/11/2009 12:21:47 AM | it's no different to any other internet datying site .. they are all rubbish and not relly worth putting any effort into.
i'm starting to think i would be better off going to some cheesy friday night singles disco type affair ... | |

Posted: 6/11/2009 2:47:02 AM | I think that a lot of women (and men) use these sites as just a place to spend time, chat and do a little flirting with other users. I do wish more people who are serious about trying to find romance would come onto these sites and the time-wasters would go away. There are women who have been on this site for years; they are obviously not using the site to find romance. Either that or they are very unlucky in love.
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY I AM BEING RESTRICTED TO ONLY BEING ALLOWED TO MAKE 2-3 POSTS ON THESE FORUMS EVERY DAY?
I'VE SEARCHED THE RULES AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING RELEVANT. | |

Posted: 6/11/2009 5:01:50 AM | | I agree. Most messages don't even get read. What is the point of trying to come up with a witty message if the person on the other end doesn't even bother opening it? Are the people here even real or is it just a massive gathering of spammers fishing for paid dating sites? | |

Posted: 6/11/2009 5:10:54 AM | I have met genuine people form here, and some who have been here for years. Just because they have been here a long time doesn't mean that they are no longer looking they have just heard it all before and know what they are looking for and don't suffer people they aren't interested in. They are disinterested in flattery, long distances and more about genuine chemistry and possible future.
I have only met and talked to what seems genuine people, I am though very picky about who I message as I want to feel there is something from the profile that I could find attractive and have something in common with. | |

Posted: 6/12/2009 3:26:55 AM | | I think online dating sites are a waste of time in general. They're great for the forums but in terms of actually meeting people who you are interested in; not so good. The problem is; you don't know who is genuine and who is not. This is the same IRL also. Its a bit of a minefield out there. | |

Don't fool yourself. They're not really looking, because they're "broken" in some way. They're hardly going to admit it until you them known well, that means meeting many times in real life. | |

Never considered myself a fool before so will bear your advice in mind, now what do you base your assumptions on? I dated a lady from the forums for 11 months and I assure you I meet her many times, she was on here a while, and was not 'broken' in any way, if anthing I was the broken one. I base my posts on my limited knowledge, I would ask again what you base yours on? | |

Posted: 6/12/2009 11:02:24 AM | | Oh,so the fact ive been on here over 2 years means i,m 'broken'does it?If i wasn,t looking,i wouldn,t be on here!If i wasn,t looking,i wouldn,t bother going to meets to get to know people!Dont ever assume you know why people are here,whether they have been here 5 years or 5 minutes! | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 2:45:38 AM | I've been on and off this site for a couple of years and within that time I've had "dating" and "not single not looking" on my profile depending on how I felt like at the time.
Whichever way though, I have never met anyone off this site...I'm not sure why; I've had opportunities but I wasn't too keen and the ones I was keen on, had other ideas.
Tricky stuff. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 3:03:46 AM | | From a female perspective....Ive met a few but it seems the longer u have been here the less messeges u get, i average about 1 messege a week which i gather is pretty poor compared to most women. It would help if guys lowered their standards slightly and stopped going for the obviously gorgous people sometimes the less stunning ones have a little more to offer than the show it off brigade. and often are more serious about wot they r looking for. So my theory is try messeging a differant type if ur original plan isnt working. xx hunni | |

What ... lower my standards even further? And consider a self-confessed fat Essex bird, who needs someone cos they can't manage alone and hasn't even the ability to spell correctly, and at 50 reverts to txt spk 2 gt a d8? And you have what to offer me that some of the gorgeous ones haven't? Scintillating conversation?
I would say back to you Hunni, with respect, you need to raise your standards and perhaps you won't be alone long. Lose some weight, learn to spell and drop the ridiculous text speak and you never know what might come your way. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 4:23:11 AM | ^^^^^^^ How would you feel if the self confessed fat Essex bird etc etc etc felt that you were too 'old looking' for your age, too short, too boring, too nasty or whatever?
Not attacking you at all just wondering hypothetically, if you (or anyone for that matter) was to be judged as unworthy by someone they believed was unworthy, would they give a shit or would that make them look at themselves and perhaps stop being quite so judgemental?
I ask this as I recall a situation many years ago where a male friend was most upset to find out that a girl he would have considered a right munter, had a very low opinon of him in terms of his looks and his personality. It was quite comical for the rest of us in the social group who were used to hearing how attractive he was, to watch as he struggled with the concept that someone he felt beneath him found him most unappealing.
He learned from it though, seeing that not everything in this game of attraction and enticement was as black and white as it may have previously seemed. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 4:29:02 AM | | I've already been told I'm too short, fat, old, and lots of other things and even I was no good because the job I do does not bring enough income home hahaha People have begun to chat to me and stopped cos I was not funny/charming whatever they wanted me to be. It matters not to me. But I don't put those women down for not wanting to chat to me, and I don't come on here whining that I can't find anyone. If I felt the need to change I would change. | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 5:54:28 AM | lol Well i think your right dilleass this site seems to be about men wanting pics webcam chat calls and entertainment if they cant ,meet up, I do all those, as it doesnt cost me anything, and its fun.
I meet guys every weekend, but most women dont, so the least they could do , would be to relpy or chat, even if they dont get their 'hooters' out ! lol
I think its fair to give the guys some encouragement as they are sending all the messages, and their are loads more women on here, and they will only get fed up if the women dont encourage them more.
I get hundreds of postive comments from guys every day , so i cant exactly be wrong can I?
I mainly chat , send message s, arrange dates, and talk , and send pics, , Ive done webcam but i would rather just meet at that point.
Give them a thrill girls, it dont cost you anything !lol | |

Posted: 6/13/2009 6:25:03 AM | | OP wouldnt get upset about it. Problem is by the time you mail someone on this site, she may already have received 2 million other emails saying exactly the same thing. Maybe your just getting missed under the weight of the inbox! | |

I,m sure when several of the guys on PoF actually want a relationship rather than just a legover,they might have a bit more success!
Just several? That's very conservative of ya 
I hope you're well and have not caused too much trouble in my absence... | |

Posted: 6/14/2009 11:25:40 PM | Dating success - Hmm guys - that's twice I've been contacted by chaps in the middle of degree courses wanting to know about arrays and variables and whether I tutor.....- LOL
Some of the people on here are not looking for dating at all but for free tutoring with benefits..... oh grow up! Any woman desperate enough to bite at that particular maggot deserves to be totally reeled in.

Posted: 6/14/2009 11:32:19 PM | | I have to say when reading a few select gentleman's (well if that is what we could call them) posts it seems that all they see woman on dating sites as are easily accessable shags. Unfortunatey men some men see dating sites as a "candyshop" nibbeling on one until they find a better treat along the way. | |

<div class="quote">actually want a relationship rather than just a legover,they might have a bit more success!
What utter tripe. As I've mentioned before...not once did I ever initiate or badger ANY women for sexual conact. And how many replies do you think I recieved? How many sparks did I ignite in SIX YEARS
0.

Now...people in glass houses, should not throw stones. Women decide whether they
want to converse with you BY JUDGING your photo. Say what you will, but I know
this of years of experience here.
Here we go again... For ****'s sake, this is what I do not get.
Women complain that all the guys are after sex...but COMPLETELY ignore the one's who don't? You make your beds, now lie in them!
Ciao
