I'm waiting for someone to come along and say "Well, you don't have to post on the forums if you don't like it!"
You don't have to post on the forums if you don't like it! LOL | |

Msg 196.....I've learned that I would like to hear of Capn's experience dating a cactus and would appreciate a follow-up.
One thing is for sure.............he wouldn't be the biggest p r i c k in that relationship!! At least I hope not!!! :)
I was just "itching" for someone to ask! It's cool when people get to the "point" 
It sadly wasn't successfull either; too much "wear and tear". It did a hell of a back-scratching job however, which is something I had to tear my ex's arm off to get.
Capn_America, will you use protection on your date with the cactus?
Well, I wanted to use protection, but I didnt have time; she likes it rough | |

“Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion”
That is one of major benefits of any forum. | |

Also learned that POF forums is probably the worst I've ever been to. Threads are locked at 21 replies.
Blasphemy! You should be voted off the island. lol
My experience is just the opposite. I've looked at quite a few other forums. POF is my favorite. We have some very intelligent people here from all around the world. It reflects great diversity.
By the way...the only threads locked at 21 replies are the Ask a Girl/Guy. You obviously haven't been here long or spent much time here. | |

Posted: 3/31/2012 2:17:37 PM | Yeah, you joined up in 2006. You've been here SOOO much longer than me!
I don't know any other dating site forums, but as far as online forums in general go, POF can get pretty annoying with the closed/deleted threads, and threads closing at 21 replies. | |

Posted: 3/31/2012 3:59:13 PM | there are many that have relationship addictions..they just dont know it :-(
this is a haven for emotional and verbal abusers..somehow not seeing the human body/being with all its "trappings" gives people the idea that they dont have to be responsible for their actions..never mind the lies that come from their keyboards...its far too easy for people using this medium to dehumanize the person who would respond to their postings or even when the initiator contacts someone through this medium.
oh..and apparently a majority of people here think themselves to be "wordsmiths" where they can rewrite the dictionary with its acceptable meaning of words on-the-fly to suit their immediate needs...and worse..pretend to be stupid like its some means of getting out of the doghouse/emotional hole that they dug for themselves.  | |

Posted: 3/31/2012 4:16:01 PM | | My eyes have been opened to "the way things are", I guess. Maybe I've been naive and closed-off for most of my life, but I'm just not comfortable kissing someone I hardly know, and I've never been comfortable with the thought of kissing someone before around a month at the earliest. I thought that was pretty normal and standard. Turns out I'm dead-wrong and people are swapping spit (and worse) left and right with virtual strangers. It opened my eyes to the commonality of "FWB" and other such casual sex, whereas I've always viewed sex as something extremely personal. It makes me realize my chances of finding someone compatible are much smaller than I'd originally hoped. | |

Posted: 3/31/2012 6:14:16 PM | I've learned that I was quite naive about men for a long time, creating some of my own problems.
I've learned to believe a man when he says he doesn't want something serious.
:) I've, also, learned to be cautious if a man says he wants something more.
I've learned that my children make me undateable to a portion of men.
I've learned that many guys will not be interested in a 2nd date if I don't kiss them on the 1st date/meet. (Which I think is totally not an indicator of how I could feel about a person with more time, but @shrugs@ I don't get to make all the rules)
I've learned to pay attention to the actions of people, what they actually mean...not what I hoped it meant.
I've learned there are some very bitter people here, but that doesn't mean their advice is always off the mark. | |

Honestly. I'm confused by this. You are married and only here for the forums. So you don't use the dating side of this site. (I don't either, so I understand that.) Yet, you state that the forums are the worst you've ever been to. Why are you here if that is the case?
I'm not trying to start a flame war, I just don't understand your post. | |

Posted: 4/1/2012 4:13:27 PM | I've learned that more folks than not are on here for reasons other than meeting someone and developing a serious relationship. Many different agendas on here.
If you ever do go on a actual date with someone on here, you should pat yourself on the back. It's more difficult than it seems. but whether it turns out good or bad, you pick up valuable experience and knowledge about yourself and how others see you. | |

Posted: 4/1/2012 5:06:35 PM | Well, I have learned that there are quite a few women who will say anything to get a date. Can't figure out why the hell they would want to date most of the guys that hang out here, as most of them come across as nutters. Funny nutters, a lot of them. Nutters all the same though.  | |

Posted: 4/2/2012 1:27:42 PM | I have learned that love and dating is a big game that we all want a part to play in. But most of us dont know all the rules just some of them. The rest of us have some of the game pieces missing. So we all run around in circles and figure eight loops bouncing off each other trying to make sence of what happend everytime we get a bumped. With some of us just falling off the edge on the game board. We do slow down when we get tired but we cant stop, a short break later and we are up and running again. With the little voice in the our head keep telling us keeps telling us to keep on moving Oh well I bet the green aliens watching us on there own show called the mating games of the hairless monkeys. With there own commatator(sp) trying to explain what we do. | |

I like the topic of dating and helping people get success out of this site when I can.
But like I said earlier, people will ask a question, and then sometimes they don't even come back to the thread.
Or sometimes the thread is locked down before they can get back to it to respond. Or, sometimes a thread that I would have liked to comment on was closed because it reached the 21 post limit. | |

Posted: 4/2/2012 7:13:27 PM | ^^^^ not me because I always laugh at your profile name!!
- Ive learned not to trust posted pics for one.
- That graduate degree is often misinterpreted as meaning they graduated from high school. (basically that women most often lie about their level of education)
- That a short first meeting might be better, but it is also more boring if just coffee or a drink. A weird catch 22
- That there are some really nice and supportive people on pof! :)
- And that whatever mark out of 10 i get in real life, you need to take off three more while on pof! lol | |

Posted: 4/3/2012 6:09:19 AM | eh...i keep adding to this thread..
um...men may say they like strong independent women..but its a complete and utter lie. take my chosen field of study...reads like an independent woman..cognitive since its some programming and creativity at the same time...i've found out that i'm seen as intimidating based on preconceptions of the chosen field of study...
so for men independent woman=intimidating...so much so that they back off then get defensive..and poof..vanish...
sorry guys..i dont do pretend stupid to placate anyone..i shouldnt have to | |

Perhaps if you didn't have your email filters set to indicate interest in men half your age, you wouldn't intimidate the boys quite so badly? | |

Posted: 5/23/2012 7:25:38 AM | I've learned that no matter what, you never, EVER take a girl home for sex on a first date.
Well, at least if you do, DONT tell anyone on POF, because you'll automatically be labelled an ahole, even if you end up marrying the girl | |
