| | PoF Forum and dating. What have you learned?Page 6 of 10 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) | I've learned ( I'm still learning) that some things I shouldn't take so personally or get so riled up about because to some ppl it's like blood in the water; they come after you frothing at the mouth, lol!
I have a few hot buttons like: ppl bashing the military or the USA, single moms and religion.
Oh and that sometimes I should take a Xanax or have a drink before I get on here!  | |

I've learned that women must like ass holes because so many of them keep talking to me.
haha.....nice abelian....and true. I learned that at a young age! Women do not want the "nice guy". Be nice, but a little "arrogant confidence" goes a long way.  | |

Posted: 2/23/2012 10:12:43 AM | I've learned Peppermint Petunias is my movie 'soulmate.' 
I've learned PittsburghVixen should probably be president of the 'Buckaroo Banzai' fan club.
I've learned about some new flours from another poster.
********
I've learned because I cook and clean my house, I am not 'masculine.' So, I've decided to starve myself and put in my application to be on a future episode of "Hoarders."
I've learned I'm like an overripe apple; I'm overly sweet but no one will pick me, so, instead, I'll wait for the day I fall down, rot and die.
I've learned the people I really would like to meet live as far away from me as humanly possible, save for one woman I would like to get to know who is just out of reach.
I've learned many people are 'trigger' happy. The line is horribly blurred between plain old frustration and anger, rage, hate, misogyny and misandry. Some abuse these terms at will.
I've learned it is hard for something to be deemed a 'Chat topic" when there is no chat room.
I've learned the definition of a 'Redundant Subject' is a by product of some peoples' inability to cope with change. They don't listen even when people 'scream' it at them, so it has to be repeated until the message gets through or sinks in.
I've found some have learned to speak English by texting.
I've learned 'pay sites' are just as bad as here, so I'll stick around. Might as well get rejected for free!!!
I've learned the word 'settle' is just a 'pretty' word for entitlement.
I've learned a Profile Review is the equivalent of having a complete stranger rewrite it for you.
I've learned some are so paranoid, one would think they are going/went on a date with 'Stranger Danger.'
I've learned some have such high expectations that don't exist anywhere; online, real life or fantasy.
I've learned I can get a BJ with a condom, a Wine Enema is wayyyy too much TMI and we just can't live without putting labels on stuff.
All in all some are cool, some are maniacally funny, some are wise, many are smart and some are just plain whack jobs. A good mix........ | |

Yes but you could also be picked up after you've fermented and turned into a delicious cider with a little kick | |

Wait. What? There is a Buckaroo Banzai fan club around here? I have been searching for an overthruster in all the wrong places it would seem. | |

Holy CRAP...I better watch out? Your t*ts pop out yet, dude? LOL.

Just had the image of a 45 turn (ugh, pardon my french, "un record 45 tours") record that keeps jumping
I've found some have learned to speak English by texting.
LOL How can you even TEXT a profile up on POF? Is that like, humanly possible? Or do people just see this as a "hey, pick me up" type of service? lol
All in all some are cool, some are maniacally funny, some are wise, many are smart and some are just plain whack jobs. A good mix........
I just learned that some people are still cool, and have great senses of humor and wit. Thanks dude  
Oh, and I also learned that d*ck rhymes with lick, s*ck with f*ck. But unfortunately, most women don't want to use them in the same sentence. mouahahahaha, *insert evil smile here* | |

Posted: 2/23/2012 5:53:40 PM | On these forums, the more interesting, bold, sexy, ballsy, hilarious, etc, the posts are on a thread, the more likely the thread will be deleted. My most daring posts were on threads that got deleted. Therefore, don't judge someone by posting history because they may have made different posts on threads that got deleted.
When a woman starts a thread about a dating or relationship situation, no matter how great the guy sounds, an army of haters will post, telling her not to see him again, saying he must be married, he's a creep, etc. Mostly the replies are by bitter women who behave like crabs in a bucket, with a few male eunuchs hating as well. Eventually one or more realistic, sane responses appear. | |

Posted: 2/23/2012 6:23:14 PM | I only read a few of the replies!
First, POF the movie, would be soooo much better than Sex and the City!! Plots and sub-plots galore, a plethora of characters from the site and the forums. Dating experiences that would rival a combination of disneyworld and the twilight zone!!
Hahahahaha!! This would be emmy or academy award material!
So what have I learned? Well a lot of things! Dating on here bears no resemblance to many of the forums! Yes there are plenty of duds, also plenty of darlings!
People should heal before they date again! So many launched out of a bad divorce, sign up the next week, even though they are as angry as he11 and aren't gonna take it anymore!
We have a significant amount of phonies, I guess you could say we have more $3 bills than the treasury gets in a year!
Remember to look before you leap, you could end up on a cactus, instead of satin sheets!
There are some fabulous people who post on the forums!! This is probably the most surprising to me! Yeah we have our half-wits, our anger management club, our gender biased on both sides. BUT we have some truly insightful and caring people, who try and steer people in the right direction, even if they sometimes do it with a club instead of a feather or light tap(cough cough!).
The forums are addictive and satisfying, especially when you can inject a little humor or help for someone in a less fortunate situation.
Thanks, POF!! | |

Posted: 2/23/2012 7:12:51 PM | If there isn't instant fireworks on the first date, then there won't be a second date.
People are very quick to make negative assumptions about someone based on a small piece of info. Example. A person that has a bathroom mirror photo has no friends.
If you aren't attracted to fat people, then you are shallow.
Some people will have a long list of requirements. Then they will complain that they get very few or no dates. If someone is going to be that picky, then accept the consequences that come with it. | |

Posted: 2/23/2012 8:39:55 PM | I have learned a lot meeting and dating on POF! Went to dinner and met several on here and frankly nothing worth keeping yet...lol
I have been told the person I met was a registered sex offender, had a guy wanted me to wear a strap on and "do him" after dinner, met several that have asked for money, one wanted to borrow my car, oh and one who insisted I buy him a bass boat! Not to mention the one who only wanted sex with no relationship.
What am I missing......where are all the good men with morals and values? | |

Most of them are on the forums giving excellent advice sprinkled with some good humor! Don't give up!
Dreamfire:
You wouldn't be able to get enough juice out of me!!!
Don't worry, if you've seen my profile you'd see I have enough juice for both of us!
I've also learned that on ask a guy/girl there are WAY more questions from guys than girls...Interesting
Say more than just "Hi" in your messages because no matter how cute you are, that's a good way to get your messages deleted.
Too many buzz words like "red flags and drama" too many sweeping generalizations too.
Take heart with the veteran posters and kind responses and generally blow off the meanies!
Don't ask for advice if you aren't willing to take it or you'd rather pick and choose the answers you want. Pointless
And last but not least, try and be civil and avoid the bashing and getting overly defensive because once you've started that train wreck, you'll be marked and no one will take you seriously or offer to help you....You might be able to redeem yourself (as I believe I have) but be careful! | |

Posted: 2/24/2012 9:34:13 AM | Things I have learned I didn't need to know.
FB doesn't mean Facebook on PoF. What Monkey bites mean. Really dumb ways to have sex . How to use. :P, Avoid getting "slapped in the face with wet flannel", Too many posters don't know what an analogy is, Free love and sex is good as long as you don your protective suit of emotional and physical armor.
The rare inspirational posters.
The poster onehappyfellow have inspired me to take up parachute jumping this year. | |

Posted: 2/28/2012 7:53:17 AM | So far, I 've learned that everyone that visits pof is looking for some kind of acceptance (love). Whether it's a chat, one-night-stand, or long term relationship, we all need the comfort of knowing we are equal, we have goodness inside us that needs to be validated, we need to be listened to and most importantly, understood.
We persue many of the above, in many different ways. Sometimes we get what we want, sometimes not. Seems like it's the latter, more often than not.
We choose to make things more complicated than they have to be. We have the power to improve ourselves and to empower others. Unfortunately, it's easier to tear others down, than to build ourselves up. Laziness hinders our potential and we are most always tempted to take the easy way out; it's human nature.
Can we all find what we are looking for? I can't guarantee this, although our chances can greatly be increased, if we remember the things that make each of us likeable, loveable and thus complete...honesty, humility and empathy. There are any number of places to meet others. This is just one of them. There are lots of good people here, that just need to be discovered. The challenge is the search and the patience is the thirst, to which there is no quick refreshment. | |

Posted: 2/28/2012 9:33:27 AM | I have learned that every gal I have ever talked to on this site either has kids or lives with their parents (or both).
The ones that don't, have dogs. | |

Posted: 3/4/2012 2:58:49 AM | What I've learned here in two weeks?
- three good lessons in humility
- folks in here much resemble the ones out there, though often they're funnier, more
entertaining, and inclined to high-octane honesty and insight
- that although misery loves company, busted ain't necessarily broken, and Ms Fixit
probably always was a fignewton of my own tender imagination
- that there's enough good folks in here for the makin's of a damned good deck party...
- that good bodies never did trump good brains (but good hair comes close)
- but I still haven't learned that damned "quote" box thingy, and that is equal to as much tolerance, patience and forgiveness as I can muster. | |

but I still haven't learned that damned "quote" box thingy,
Very simple. Use the square brackets, immediately to the right of the "P" key on your standard qwerty keyboard (at least on a standard desktop computer -- for anything else, you're on your own).
left square bracket, the word "quote" (no quotation marks), followed by right square bracket. Then the text you're quoting, and then close it the same way but with a forward slash in front of the word "quote". Here I will show you using the open and close parenthesis instead of square brackets.
(quote)
quoted text goes here
(/quote)
And most of the regular posters here find it very helpful to write our posts using a real editor, like WinWord, and then copy and paste it in here. | |

Posted: 3/4/2012 10:13:16 AM | I've learned that reading the forums while on percocet is much better than reading the forums without percocet.
And that the poor life choices I thought I made, good lord, in comparison to some of the things I read, well, I've led a downright exemplary existence.
And I'm still waiting to hear which wine goes best with an enema? Red or white? | |

Posted: 3/4/2012 10:17:44 AM | @ lacalli-
Probably white......more earthy, more grassy, more fruity, less tannins and acidity.....then again, maybe red.....full character, spicier, acquired taste.......
why am I thinking about this????....... | |

Posted: 3/4/2012 11:47:20 PM | | I've learned that one group of people is more interested in the forums and less interested in dating, another group of people, probably the majority put up what they think is the best profile on an internet sight and never change it. I change mine more often than I change underwear. I never give out too much information because that would be boring and assuming that someone cares. | |
