I sum up the guys on this site as follows.

50% perverts
45% morons
5% normal


I know you didn't just pull these numbers out of your nether regions. And since you're a guy looking for women it's not at all clear how you arrived at these numbers. So, please, by all means share your methodology with us, "TheReason".

It is unfortunate that women have to put up with that kind of nasty stuff and it definately makes it harder for guys like me to meet women.. I assure you not all men are pigs and dogs.

More of an estimation going by what I hear from women I talk to here. Thy are often surprise, and fine it refreshing that I don't "want to see their tits" and I don't "want to show them my junk", even after we've talked a while. Being "normal" really is an uncommon thing in these parts. I was always reasonably half decent looking and was always comfortable engaging women in conversation, in real life and otherwise. As I've said, this is all new to some people, and without the real fear of rejection or consequences in person, they can do or say things they never would, or never would have the opportunity to say "in real life"

Being as I can hold a conversation with a woman, and not resort to blatantly getting all pervy and sexual on them, they actually find it refreshing, and it even sets me apart from the crowd, if even just a little bit. Personally, I think there is a time and a place for that, and if we ever get intimate, there will be plenty of time for show and tell. Until then, does it really matter if I see or offer such things?


Nope.


It would just lump me in with the rest of the morons here. I had personality and charm long before the internets, and it still applies. This place isn't some peep show, real people are trying to meet other real people. If tits and ass are all you want, google is one click away.

truth be told, the perverts probably equal out the flakely and fickle women.

I tend to think they're exaggerating how bad it really is. Perhaps they just tend to remember the obnoxious more than the nice-but-no-thanks sorts? The responses from females in this very thread have been much more heavily weighted towards the positive than the OP's negative experiences. Most of my own interactions have been on match not POF, and while those Women all have had some bad ones, mostly they too have been good ones.

i will start with this, despite my profile i am not a pervert.

i think the man to woman odds are like 70 guys to 1 girl. most of them think with 1 head all the time, and the few that dont take the heat for the ones that do.

i would like to see the true stats of men to women on here.

thanx Leslie

yes, i have noticed it and it sickens me. the whole thing is so disgusting when it is on threads about black people/or interracial dating. its when the ultimate sickos , jerks, loosers use to post their venom and frustrations . i guess its the same mentality that is responsible for the hate crime, sexual deviance against kids, women and elderly. and, they never post their pictures......to go along with the hate message or depravity.

to the OP, i think you might want to either take your picture off or not give out any personal info to early when meeting some of these "knuckleheads"

I have only met one and he told me straight up - during a lunch meet - that he was a convicted pedophile and precisely where he did time (along with a number of other things he was into).

That was the last date I've been on and while I'm thankful for his honesty I am also in no great rush to meet the next seemingly great match.

I came home and spent the weekend vomiting and immediately changed my screen name from 'Not a Baby Anymore' (he said I looked younger in my pic than in person) to 'Not There Yet'.

I'm disappointed by the lack of of perverts on here. I keep checking my email and so far, nothing good.

....paid sites are better but I'm not sure...


this is coming from left field OP, but that statement really made me think:

back in the days when i used to go out and drink and meet chicks, i've noticed a trend:

The higher priced bars had better looking and better refined chicks. sure, you may catch a stripper in there, but their dialogue, choice of words and subject matter always gave them away. But the chicks were genuinely interesting and backed up their looks with a heart, soul and brain.

But then in the cheaper bars, fat and ugly chicks were a dime a dozen, all they talked about was sports, what they watched on TMZ, who's dating who at the bar, and they thought buying clothes at Old Navy made them fashionable.


hmmmm..... maybe "paid for sites" are indeed better??? hmmmm

No, they're full of cam girls, fakes, trolls and scammers.

They get bot profiles to send emails to standard members which you need to pay to see and read. Its a scam.

Well OP I read your profile and it is really good, and you sound like a fun person to know. Why you get such rude e-mails seems odd to me, but perhaps if we did some statistical analysis of the men that send them and the women they send them to we could find a pattern to describe this peculiar behavior. It could be an age thing, and location thing, or some other oddity that we can not even imagine. I don't think I would ever send a picture like that even if requested, but that's just me.

Msgs 75 & 76...

I dunno Roamin Ronin :), I think you missed my point, it is not about nudity per se. Though there's no real equivalent for Porno's Penthouse and Playboy for females. C'mon it's the new millenium, even the shy ladies can stealthily purchase skin on ebay if there was a real market for it.

Sexuality has not been a primarily male domain built on social trends only. I think men get off more easily on disconnected visuals, they tend to be driven to a greater extent by carnal desires and find it easier to detach their emotions. Women, not as much.

I have no problem with tasteful Centrefold nudes but contextually, this is a dating scenario where the OP is seeking a LTR so the behaviour is directly impacting her. However as hook-ups and all it's entrails, sorry I mean all it entails is practically acceptable on so many levels, I would recommend the OP state categorically on her profile that casual sex is off-limits, in light of her experiences.

The cheapest and easiest way to get guy's attentions is to be a Girls Gone Wild attention whore... no thanks, it's nothing but desperate cheap thrills on both sides. Hardly a class act. Of course men will find appreciation in ogling their shenanigans with their mouths gaping. It speaks to their little heads. Okay, it's Courtney Love for your next date.

I shouldn't have to expect to receive unsolicited sexual images or crass texting without warning. I mentioned respect more than once, you didn't address it other than to excuse it. "Destructive demonization" is melodramatic. Blame your gender for that. The victim role reversal doesn't fly with me.

And that's right, both women AND men have a right to be disgusted when it's shoved in their face. You have the prerogrative to laugh about it, others also have the right to react as they feel, particularly when boundaries are crossed. Forcing someone to bear your unasked-for unsavoury intentions violates their trust, don't forget they provided their personal contact details and gave you their time.

You shouldn't generalize the majority of women on this site as cold and apathetic, if your gripe is because they don't respond I'm sure significant blame can also be attributed to ugly reactions from spurned suitors, a major deterrant to both sexes in replying.

Ingus, feminism propagated zealous views..bra burning, over-opinionated etc, as a backlash against oppression by men. I don't take them that seriously. Not saying all are like that, there are moderates in every sphere. Anyhow I said at the start that women are generally more emotional creatures, and that also ties into their sexuality. It doesn't mean women aren't also interested in sex just as much as or more than some men.

But posts like msg 75's are evidence of those with a vested interest continually trying to keep the sands shifting in their favour by actually demonizing personal moralities and boundaries, subverting sex and reducing it to a tradeable commodity. Feminists aren't needed in this area, when a great gaggle of the male population are more than eager to 'push for women's feminist rights.' Whether intentional or not, to argue that is to use it as a loophole to get into women's panties.

They're perverts being that if they behaved like that in the physical sense, it would be classed as rape. That might be somewhat harsh, its an assault on the senses nevertheless. It's non-consensual. The OP did not approve of it. In reference to a proposition, in these circumstances they're usually tawdry but it might be slightly less offensive. Regardless of one's level of sensitivity, when the same result happens time and again, even if perpetrated by different individuals, it feels the same as harassment.

If they want sex, pay for it (prostitute). Or else go find a girl they want to marry and get all the sex they ever desired rather than treat someone like a skanky nobody. Let's talk marriage next yeah!

I have never had it happen to me. I work with about 20 people who all have profiles on here & only one had a problem, once. Sorry, but are you hinting or talking about sex & giving the guys the wrong impression? I mean it just does not seem normal that you get so many pervs.


Yup, blame it on the victim!!!

You get those emails because you DO and there's really no reason other than that...

Been on here a while and have gotten ALL kinds and I DON'T have any "suggestive pics", comments, etc, on my profile...

People will do what they will do REGARDLESS of what YOU want at times, simply because they CAN...

Are we REALLY naiive enough too believe that we can change the behaviour of others that easily?
Don't think there's BE any forums in that case...

Damn someone's just about to cute to be real.

So just sit back and smile, knowing next time you pick up a playgirl, your not a provert ...yet

There are going to be asses and good men on here, just like in the real world. The same goes for women, of course. Time to get a thicker skin and take it for what it is :)

I've had alot of gentlemen. Few when they want to IM then they start talking about their member. I delete them then.


I had to turn my IM's off because of that- I got bombarded by people who just don't know how to have a conversation. They'd go from "Hey what's up" to "Do you have a nice ass?" or talking about the size of their man meat.

"Destructive demonization" is melodramatic. Blame your gender for that. The victim role reversal doesn't fly with me.


I totally agree with you. Just because we don't want someone sending a picture of their junk out of nowhere doesn't mean that we hate guys or their body parts. But presenting it in that manner is gross and rude, and to me it's insulting. It's like "Do you think that I am a slut or something, and if you send me a picture like that I'm just going to be like HELL YEAH I WANT SOME OF THAT and then jump on top of you?" No.

I set my filters to try to avoid messages like that, but there are a couple of other sites where people, even ones with girlfriends will send me messages like "Yo baby girl wanna come up to my crib and f*** know what I'm sayin" as their first contact! It's really aggravating and I don't know what I'm doing wrong either, or why people pick me to mess with and not the girls that are in their underwear for their pictures or have sexual names.
