| Retire from looking for love on POF and now on the Forum Posted: 11/5/2009 12:21:26 PM | Msg:1,
You are very pretty woman, and your discription of your self is appealing that you are a good cook ect...but the title of your profile is a bit turn off>>> seek no BS man<<. I myself is not a good writer, and I check other women's profile to read and learned from them. And as woman, I will pass , on your profile because it connotes negative vibes, what more of a man who is really looking for a good woman to date?
If you own a department store that only cater to young slim girl would you advertized "this store is not for old fat women bug off!!"

Good question. There ARE "hot" women and men -- but they seem to be ships crossing in the night. Honestly, though, how many of us are more tempted by the forums, and therefore don't spend as much time responding to emails, or emailing others, that might turn out to be, at the very least, friends?
I've posted a message on my profile that says that I'm on "hiatus" from POF, but will still come in once in a while to dabble on the forum.
I place some of the blame for being on here since March or so, and still without a LTR, on myself. I've been here since that time in earnest. I created a profile without a picture earlier than that, and didn't bother even logging in to POF, so who's fault is that?
Mea Culpa | |

Did we all do that, give up looking for love on POF because nothing yummy was biting?
Nope. Not I. In fact, I love the forums! I enjoy giving out helpful advice, and reading forum topics. It's a nice way to pass time.

| Retire from looking for love on POF and now on the Forum Posted: 11/5/2009 5:47:58 PM | I agree with many of the posters. Im not giving up, Im just here because what else would I be doing? The best part about fishing is the anticipation. Will this next tug on the line be the big one
Also keep in mind, this site has a fairly low population in grand respect to the world. As I post this there's only 134758. There's more people playing World of Warcraft right now then there are fishing
The best you can do is cast out a few lines, lay back in a comfortable position and wait. Enjoy a beer or beverage of choice, and just make sure you respond quick!
Rome was built in a day, and fishing is the patient man's (and woman's) sport.
Cheers  | |

I'm still doing both, still looking, still busy on the forums. Haven't given up completely, but the reality is, I think I will find a guy in real life, not on a dating site. The forums are addictive. If I were in a relationship, doubt I'd spend any time on them. | |

| Retire from looking for love on POF and now on the Forum Posted: 11/5/2009 9:49:00 PM | | I highly enjoy the forums. The dating-aspect of this site is definitely second-rate vs. what is available to me in person. Still, there might be "that ship in the night", but it's not something I expect outta this place. | |

| Retire from looking for love on POF and now on the Forum Posted: 11/8/2009 9:08:06 PM | | Welcome to the club! I, for one, got tired very fast of sending emails with no reply, chatting inanely with women who are far too busy to meet anyone and getting my hopes up only to have them dashed with every message I sent. I became a forum junkie and these forums do not dissapoint. Unlike modern gals, who seem biologically and socially designed to dissapoint. Girls make terrific friends, but god help the man who wants to love one! Gals, I love ya, but in a platonic way. You are just tooo high maintenance for me! | |
