Because we all have latent exhibitionist tendencies which are satisfied by having conversations with each other in public. Kinda like those people who talk really loud in cafes so that everyone around them hears what they are saying, and keeps looking over the shoulder of the person they are talking to in order to see who else might tune in to what they are saying and perhaps respond.
Yep and don't forget those people who talk really loud on public transport (especially on trains). Sometimes I feel like walking up to them and telling them to shut the f**k up! | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 3:31:08 PM | | ^^^^^^^^Really? Would you be willing to travel all the way from Adelaide to Sydney? If you are then let me know so I can start practicing on my neighbours - they can get loud too sometimes :) | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 3:39:40 PM | ^^^^^^^Thanks for the laugh..............I really need it some days and today is one of those days!
I know how you feel. When I lived in Melbourne I used to catch a train to work every day. It's a nightmare. You're either stuck under someone's armpit reeking of BO or you've got people talking so loudly you feel like saying "hey I don't really need to know about your life thanks".
But the ones that always confused me were the people who'd get on the train, sit quietly while they got their CD players out, put their headphones on and turned it up full, assuming no-one else could hear.
WRONG!!!!! I CAN HEAR................AND SO CAN ANYONE ELSE SITTING NEXT TO YOU!!!!!!!!  | |

Was brought up being told not to talk to strangers so am finally going through my rebellious stage. Its just easier doing it in the comforts of my own home and not having to go out traipsing around.. that just sounds like too much effort!!! | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 10:22:59 PM | Because it beats talking to the four walls and less expensive than casting objects at the television. I've tried the whole talking to yourself thing, but I failed to leave myself quivering with anticipation. Contrary to popular belief, I was completely incapable of surprising myself or coming up with a new perspective that I had never thought of before, or at least before I said it....
The rest of the POF membership are apparantly incapable of or unwilling to reply to me at all, even to simply tell me to f*** off, so as a last resort I entertain myself by sharing my deepest musings with the other offbeat eccentrics that seem to cohabit this particular area of cyber-space.
Besides, those offbeat eccentrics are piss funny and seemingly never fail to bring tears of laughter to my eyes! | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 6:46:23 PM | I like the forum because it is real people with real opinions. Now I know there are people pretending to be something they are not but even that is real for some part of themselves.
I post because being part of anything is about contributing. I read one post about us being exhibitionist and I do not think I would call it that but yet it is true that we all seek intimacy in different ways and one of those is a description of intimacy that is
'IN-TO-ME-SEE'
So I post that you might see into me and I read that I might see into you. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 9:46:01 PM | I think it's great simply because of the regular posters on here.
The insights and points of view that I have gleaned just from the half dozen or so people I interact with regularly on here have given me more insight into the world than most other people I have ever come across.
The varying personalities and wisdoms of these people give a wide range of things to take on board.
I must especially thank Nana publically for giving me the means to look deeper into my own soul in order to find answers
Naamah for her brilliantly thought out, caring and diplomatic responses.
Hilly for just being Hilly 
Scholar for his wisdom and (at times) provoking comments that stimulate my brain to match.
And LULT...... For forever holding on to that dream that I am some kind of toy boy slut (one day sweetie, I will find that motel room, and we will be together for one night of toy boy slutness) | |

Hilly for just being Hilly
I resemble that remark...though im unsure quite what it means. 
I post on plenty of fish simply because it helps me to know there are far stranger people then me in the world. | |

Ohh aren't you sweet...
You do realise.. your gunna have to invite us allllll.. to your wedding...
us girls will dress up in our finest bush boots or gum boots...
Actually you can sit scholar and Naamah up the front.. they will do you proud...
seat Hilly and me up the back.. cause we will have a few drinks.... cause weddings scare the crap out of us....
and probably be pissed and giggling... besides you know what Hilly is like once she hits the turps.. someones gotta hold her up... well we can stagger together...
and Lult will probably stand up.. when they say.. Does anyone object?
probably bringing a thesis on why..
Scholar will give a brilliant speech...
And Naamah will bring class to the occassion..
We of course...we will alllll buy you a toaster from each.. cause only about 20 other people will buy you a toaster.. and you can never have too many toasters can you?
and of course you will have to name all 4 of your kids after us...
I can hear you calling out to some small child.. LULT.. come here..
Yep your adopted.....don't call us your POf family.. though...
that just sounds sooooooo wrong..
bet you just can't wait to get married hey?
peace | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 2:28:09 AM | You do realise.. your gunna have to invite us allllll.. to your wedding...
You do realise Nana, that
a) First I need to find someone who is
1. Sane (Which is NOT easy... Hence the frequent horror stories)
2. Single
3. Less than 15 years older than me
And by amazing chance and highly unlikely probability (How improbable is it Scholar?)
4. Is actually attracted to me
THEN I somehow have to convince her that I am worth marrying... then I need to do the complex calculations in my head to determine whether this course of action is the path of least resistance
Sorry to dissapoint Nana, but no marriage invites or adopted grandchildren from your favorite young'un anytime soon
But when it happens, believe me... I would happily have all of you at my wedding... I'll even fly you to it....
Myself
Oh, and you'll be seated as close to me as possible... that way none of us have to walk far for beers | |

| Why do we post on Plenty of Fish?
Posted: 11/9/2009 2:59:00 AM | ^^^^^Sane??????? Sane.....now this is an anomily....as already discussed here and widely known via sciency people......when one is in love by psychological measurement you are actually insane. Women tend to have access and ability to show/inability to hide emotions...so most women are more gaga in early stages of love than the average male (said with a Fred Flintstone voice). So you are stuffed, we are all stuffed....or unstuffed if single har har.
As for calculations even Scholar would agree that logic has nothing to do with it...tis the only time mathematically and without human intervention that one plus one equals three.
But I know you will find a way. and another one for Nana | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 3:38:16 AM | posting here?...
it gives you that fleeting feeling of wonder as to whether anyone out there actually "got" what you just said.....
not unlike sitting in front of a table full of a hundred cats.... and asking a profound question to the furred assembled... working on their next furrball... ....
and one replies with a quote from the blues brothers.. or Ghandi..... or John Lydon....
that kinda feeling...  | |

Thanks MissFee, you're a gem. 
Naamah for her brilliantly thought out, caring and diplomatic responses.
Thanks Nick...
errr....
are you guys about to hit me up for fifty bucks or something? 
I post on PoF cos my parole officer uses this as a means of tracking my movements.
(PS. he said I can go to your wedding Nick...but will probably have to wear the monitoring cuffs...and should warn you I am the stereotypical sniffley one when I hear vows exchanged. My kryptonite.) | |

Scholar for his wisdom
You are beginning to grow on me, wisdom is a process not a product it is a consequence of constantly questioning and assuming that you are more likely than not to find yourself mistaken in any belief you hold with certainty and so I thank you for your generosity.
And LULT......(one day sweetie, I will find that motel room, and we will be together for one night of toy boy slutness)
You are now beginning to grow on me really, really slowly.
Let me help you out with this, I am sure you have read Peter Pan, you just follow the second star to the right and go straight on till morning, that has always been the way to never never land.
a) First I need to find someone who is
1. Sane (Which is NOT easy... Hence the frequent horror stories)
2. Single
3. Less than 15 years older than me
And by amazing chance and highly unlikely probability (How improbable is it Scholar?)
4. Is actually attracted to me
Almost everyone is sane at any given time except when they are in love, the median age at first marriage is 28 for women and 30 for men so well over 50 % of women you could reassemble expect to be courting are unmarried.
According to the latest ABS marriage statistics the chance that a randomly selected bride in any age category has just married a man 14 years younger than her self is vanishingly small. So given that you have mentioned coughers and marriage together, a combination that rarely occurs in nature, you will now be considered about as attractive as it is possible to be, you should run, and hide because I fear that you are about to be torn limb from limb at the centre of a feeding frenzy.
wish I had the brains of Scholar
Thanks but there is a down side to everything, when institutions ask me to donate my brain there are some days I think, why not, why not just get it over with. If nothing else I would spend a lot less time standing in the corner thinking about why I shouldn’t have said the first silly thing that popped into my head. 
As for calculations even Scholar would agree that logic has nothing to do with it.
Too true the delicious sticky bits of life will forever remain a mystery, they are probable not entirely randomly determined but with so many variables they might just as well be thankfully, being able to work it out would just take the fun out of the whole thing. | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 4:50:23 PM | I read the forums mainly because of the brilliant rapport between those already named. I laugh out loud on occasion which amuses the dog. One day I am determined to meet you girls and sit back with a drink and just observe, you totally crack me up, thank you  | |
