Posted: 7/31/2009 8:49:50 AM | ^^^Correction
she should stay at least 10 years of a "wife beater"
That should have read "she should stay at least 10 yards from a "wife beater". I missed the "post edit courtesy time" which I think is about 20 minutes on this forum...
That's what I get for trying to throw a few posts up while also trying to get some work done...lol.. | |

Posted: 7/31/2009 12:00:40 PM | | The worst date was with a man I had been talking to and he sounded OK so we met at one of the dances. We went out a few times and each time he would talk about his ex-wife and all of his faults. I have a grandfather's clock that works perfectly fine and he also has one but I noticed his wasn't level and he even brought over some oil to oil my clock. I told him don't do it, don't touch the clock. After listening to the stories he told about his ex I was surprised their marriage lasted as long as it did and I could see why she divorced him, he was getting on my nerves. I found out he was unemployed. | |

Posted: 7/31/2009 12:13:33 PM | Oh darling, let me write you a book lol. Well, there was one guy who told me he searched for me on facebook before we met and looked through all my pics - creepy. He proceeded to ask me many a question about my decision to pierce my tongue when I was a teenager. Within about 5 minutes of conversation, he asked me for "brains." After a few seconds of thought as to what "brians" was, I told him I heard my mother calling and left.
Another date was with a real sweetheart who appeared to speak normally on MSN and the phone. When we met in person, however, he talked like he was rehearsing for a part in a movie about the slums of Detroit. Funny how we were both born in Canada, of Polish decent, yet I couldn't understand a word the man said. Pretending to be a gangster = TOTAL turn off lol.
Luckily though, I've met some pretty decent people who have been fun to hang out with, so it isn't all bad :) | |

Posted: 7/31/2009 1:31:23 PM | I haven't had any 'disasters' but my worst would probably be...He showed up half an hour late, we walked to a bar to have a drink, he barely talked, all I did was ask him questions about his work and whatnot and he gave one word answers and kept snapping at me because he was 'stressed from work'. So I tried changing the subject to something that wouldn't make him angry but he still would just sit there mute basically. The bill came and I put in more than my share of the bill and he asked me to still pay the tip, so I did. We went for a short walk were he repeatedly tried to kiss me after I told him to stop. It was so awkward! We parted ways. He texted me minutes later to ask me if I felt a connection! Lol.  | |

Are you aware you can change your Facebook privacy settings so only your invited friends can see your pictures? | |

Can I get some clarification on your post please?
Because she's overweight, she should stay at least 10 years of a "wife beater" and should be prohibited from purchasing or wearing one...
I'm thinking a "wife beater" is a guy who physically abuses his spouse, but that wouldn't follow from your post unless they sell guys like this in your local market and you can don them like you would a shirt. And the part about staying 10 yards away from one of them defies explanation no matter how you slice and dice it. - CityDeer Park
Just to clarify, the term "wife beater" refers to a man's white tank top/undershirt style shirt. I have no idea where this silly expression came from.
He is (I think) referring to his opinion that a skimpy-cut shirt doesn't look all that appealing, on someone who is very overweight/obese. | |

Posted: 8/1/2009 1:52:59 AM | | hey steve - yes I am aware, its just that he searched for my name and looked through pics without adding me, then told me about how he was looking at my pics when we met. Not that I care if people look, just caught me off guard as an odd thing to say. | |

Get thee to a city! Head for a coast!! Pronto!!!
I keep hearing about the charms of small-town life and the simple unpretentious folk who live that way. I never saw it in any small town I ever lived in. Mainly what I remember is uniformity, suspicion, and often a whole lot of economic desperation. | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 12:40:56 AM | [qoute]Pashune :I try to be as considerate and interested as I can, given the circumstances that I would rarely get dates or messages/replies from other users. I used to tell myself "This is all you're going to get, so deal with it and try to have fun."
As for the trannie question, if we shared a few interests here or there, perhaps I'd give it a chance... maybe.. okay, I don't know. I twitch at that thought. Maybe I'm way too considerate.
Ah, ok, so because you don't get too many responses on here, you've lowered your standards to the point that you would date for an entire month- obese, rude women who totally misrepresent themselves, and you wouldn't necessarily exclude a man who is dressed up as a woman.
Got it.
I bet you could increase your odds even more if you check out the local zoo.
Just say'en
46 years old on a dating site?yeah,this guys advice is deffinately worth taking | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 4:13:20 AM | Well, I"m pleased to report that I had mostly good dates from POF, and eventually even found Mr. Right. However I did have one date that was somewhat er, peculiar.
We met at a bar in the little town we both lived in. He was cute, and well-built. We'd talked briefly on the phone and he'd made a good impression there. Quick on his feet and funny.Now I'm thinking it must have been his roommate, or brother. Things started out okay, but after about 20 minutes, he went to the restroom. When he came back, he seemed really fidgety and irritable. He started complaining about everything. The bar is too noisy. They don't have his favorite beer. Too many old people here.
So I suggested we move to another place, just down the street. Nope. Didn't want to. A few more visits to the bathroom, and he became impossible to talk to. I was trying to think of a way to gracefully end things, when SHE walked in. She was drunk, cute, but older than me (oh, and he'd also complained that he only met older women on POF, me being one of them), looked a little rough around the edges if ya know what I mean.
He saw her, and his face just lit up. A-ha! I was clearly not his type, but she was. At that point, I really should have just gone. But I still had half a drink to consume, and I was gonna need it. She staggered up to the bar, and he was on her like stink on manure. Totally hitting on her, and abandoning me to my fate with some creepy old dude with a huge handlebar mustache.
I finished my drink and got up to leave. Right at that moment, another guy just shoves himself between my "date" and drunk girl. ****block! Hahaha! That was my cue. I didn't even wait around to see if a fight started. I was outta there.
I did have to wonder what all of those bathroom visits were about. I guess drugs could be a possibility, since his behavior became increasingly strange. Or maybe he was texting his wife about another late night at the office, whatever.
To top it all off, about three weeks later, he had the nerve to IM me here on POF, "hey, wanna hang out sometime?" First and only time I've used the block feature.

Posted: 8/2/2009 4:52:41 AM | I was gonna tell my worst date experience, but to be honest, I would rather not.
Let's just say it involved a girl who looked nothing like her pics and a bloody vagina.
NOT GOOD! | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 5:15:05 AM | Oh this made me chuckle, but it didn't happen on here. Talked to a guy for about a week, exchanging emails, talked on the phone, etc. He asked me to meet him for dinner and usually don't like that, because you can't meet and leave, but I was comfy, so I did.
After dinner (it was a moderate to slightly expensive place), he advises me that HEY, it's his birthday yesterday and thanks for taking HIM out. What? I missed the memo?? LOL. So, I wound up paying. He couldn't understand why I never wanted to see him again. I thought it was cheesey. | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 5:33:59 AM | | I have had TWO dates from POF. The first one smelled like a horse. The second one said he was 55 but when I met him he had wrinkled CHEEKS! Now, how old do you have to be before your CHEEKS wrinkle? They both wanted "action" but the second one was laughable. He looked deep into my eyes and said things like "I am lost in your eyes" while stroking my bare arm with the back of his knuckles. Is that appropriate for a first date? Did he think I was 12 years old and would fall for that line of crap? To be perfectly fair however, I am sure this is not a POF issue, since all the men I've met seem to be "goal" driven and equally hokey when they think a freebie might be in the offing. | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 6:26:14 AM | I haven't had any truly horrible "Jerry Springer Show" type experiences - just lots of no returns / no second dates with mixed signals about there being more with those women.
The last two acted as-if they wanted a second date, then kept having excuses as to why we couldn't. I even made out with one of them, which seemed to me to be a deal breaker. I at least thought she'd want another, she even seemed very happy about the whole making out thing.
Then they both just vanished off my radar screen. Believe me, I dropped their phone numbers after about a month of listening to excuses and B.S.
I have moved on. Meeting someone today in fact.

Posted: 8/3/2009 5:28:41 PM | A female friend set me up on a blind date with a doctor friend of hers. She did not tell me much about her, other than she was tied up with her work and has not dated anyone in four years.
I pick her up at her house; we drive to the restaurant and have an enjoyable conversation. She orders a main course and at least three additional side dishes. I thought maybe she wanted to take some home. Our food arrives and she dives into it like she hadn't eaten in months. I have a large appetite and grew up in a family with 8 children; when food was on the table, you ate and you ate fast in case there were only a little bit of second servings to go around. This chic had both hands going and couldn't get the food in her mouth fast enough. If it was a contest, she would have easily won.
The worst part is yet to come. She brings up her former fiance. His name is the same as mine. She said he resembled me and that I not only sounded like him, but my expressions were the spitting image of him. She went on to say that he was killed in a car accident four years ago. Hmmm, it was making a little sense to me now. The poor soul then had a breakdown, right there in the restaurant. This was not a little sob, she was screaming outloud, face pooring down with tears, and shouting "I can't take this, how can I do this, what am I doing!?!" I got up and helped her on her feet and made way to the door, throwing some cash to the gal at the cash register. It was a long ride home and I ended up consoling her for about 3 hours at her house. I did call her back the next day and a few times after that to check on her, but she never answered the phone nor returned my calls.
My friend that set us up told me that she said "He's not my type." | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:00:15 PM | Look at where I live! I'm surrounded by christian crazies and overweight people galore. Their excuse seems to always be a thyroid related problem or the fact that southern food is "too good", bleh. I hate the south. I always have.
I live in the South (Texas) and I CHOOSE to eat well, exercise and hang out with people of high quality. This, in turn, keeps me in a positive mode. The men I date are of a very high calibre (intelligent, successful and healthy, etc.)
FYI, I live in a rural area, about an hour an change from a metropolitan area, and I meet great people all of the time. So can you. Set your standards high and don't look back. Or possibly move if you hate it???
I haven't had a bad date on pof. I have had several, and had the opportunity to meet some great men. (See above)

Posted: 8/3/2009 8:29:02 PM | You folks that haven't had any bad experiences should count yourself very lucky. I've dealt my share of women who lie about age, weight, interests, and everything else. As if this wasn't enough, you then have to get past the serial daters and those suffering from some sort of psychological or emotional damage.
Worst date? Sheesh.. where to start... | |

do you mean like the horse & good well kept leather or like horse shit?
Big difference. I remember yrs ago a man came into the ICU where I was working to visit his mom- jeans & boots, and smelled like leather & horses; clean & outdoorsy. Turns out he raised Belgian draft horses.
God he smelled wonderful! | |

That must have been a "joke" or her way of letting him know that she wasn't interested. | |

Posted: 8/4/2009 1:17:12 PM | My worst date from POF.
Whew, where do I begin?
I drove up to her place and rang the buzzer for a long time. I was about to give up when she drove out of the apartment garage and signaled me. It was sheer luck that I saw her.
She indicated that she wanted me to follow. WEIRD.
Okay, she wasn't comfortable getting into the car with a stranger.
I follow her in my car to the restaurant.
We go in, I can only catch about half of what she says because she's foreign and has a thick accent. Also, she doesn't look like her picture. Or rather, she's probably 15 years older than her pic which was taken way back in college no doubt.
She orders the most expensive thing on the menu.
Then, her cellphone goes off and SHE TAKES THE CALL!
This happened not once but THREE TIMES during dinner, while I tried to decipher her garbled words. She was on the phone more than off, and talking in her language about the dumbass who was paying for dinner. Okay, that's a guess.
You might say that I was pissed.
I walked her to the car and she acted like she wanted a kiss and I backed up and waved goodbye and said oh yeah I'll call you. | |
