I didn't understand the thing about blacklisting - but it explains why so many women have "e-mail" or "hang out" down yet when you read their profile they mean "Intimate Encounter". (no discrimination intended, that probably applies to men too, I just don't read their profiles).

PoF really didn't think things through when they set that one up did they!

No wonder every complains about profiles being misleading.

The real problem is that it never expires. When I made my profile I was fresh off a bad breakup and I certainly wasn't looking for anything long term. Now it's six months later, I'm looking for something completely different and I'm blocked from half the site. It should really have some sort of timer that will notice if you've gone a few months without and unban you.

The worst part is how judgmental everyone gets about it. I looked in a few of the old treads and the average response seems to be: "You messaged FOUR people looking for with intimate encounter in their profile. Are you some sort of sex crazed pervert? No wonder no one wants to talk to you. "

I dont understand why a woman would put Intimate Encounters down- every woman pretty much knows if shes going on a date with a guy and she wants sex, she's going to get it! Hell you could pretty much put down "I'd like to be within reasonable proximity to a man" and you're going to get sex if you want it!

I have a feeling a lot of women who put Intimate Encounters are looking for the responses they get rather than actually meeting. But what do I know?

Yep...be careful...the meaning of intimate encounters is different with different woman...read the profile....many make the mistake of assuming ....and usually get an A-hole mail back....if any....lol.....I am blatant about what Im looking for...its pretty much the only way to be.....good luck!

Just remember one thing... once you make initial contact with a few people looking for "other relationship" or "intimate encounters", you won't be able to contact many other women who have the mail restriction "must not have messaged people seeking Intimate Encounters".

While it is technically feasible for the Admin to reset this flag (as an IT person, I *know* that it's possible), the reality is that the Admin and the mods will treat you like a leper once you trip it and you will be SOL if you want to contact someone with that mail restriction.

Oh and to make matters worse, when you search, you won't be able to filter out women who have that restriction in their mail settings... so you may find at times having to waste time flicking in and out of profiles of women who look good... but then you scroll down and see the restriction.

I dont think anyone really wants to advertise that yes they would have an intimate encounter. It seems to be a taboo on POF. But yes many people do like an intimate encounter, perhaps privatly... My hats off to those who do come out and honeslty say yes Im looking for sex.

I'm glad you asked this for this is something that needs to be addressed in the POF community.

Those looking for intimate encounters much be approached slowly and stealth like. They prefer potential partners to run up quickly and without warning. Once you are within arms reach you should club them on the head and check for a pulse to ensure they are not dead. Then you should prepare a potion of 3 parts whiskey, 2 parts vodka and 1 part diet sunkist sparkling lemonade, not the stuff in the can but the 2 litter! Sprinkle some of this on your newly found partners left arm and consume the rest. Now quickly undress them, have sex with them and then curl up in a ball next to them. When they come to explain that he/she must have passed out from all those whiskey/vodka/lemonade bombs you two were doing last night at that trendy club. Elaborate how it was love at first sight and how you were both stunned from how quickly you fell for one another. If done correctly, they will believe your story and you two will be yet another PoF success story! Suck it eharmony!!!!

MrY thats alotta bs, funny but bs nontheless. I changed mine from IE to other relationship, therefore I can still make it whatever I want it to be just like those that have LTR but oops have sex on the second or third date. I'm just honest about it and what I want. The only difference is what the stated type of relationship is that your looking for, but peoples behaviors indicate otherwise so when he/she dont come back they can cry foul and still appear proper to a bunch of strangers in forum (cause we all know how important that is on POF - Plenty of Foolishness).

Be careful doing that because alot of women block guys who have messaged people looking for intimate encounters. I never understood that, what is the big deal if some women is looking for an intimate encounter and you just happened to say hi to them that day. But now you can't say hi to someone that isn't looking for one.
