| | Anyone else only come here for the forums?Page 4 of 12 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) | I waste most of my time in here, in the forums. Dating happens a a side interest. :-P | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 12:31:27 PM | | Personally, I like the forums as opposed to looking for possible dates. I was always told that dating sites are in favor of women, so I rather do something else rather than chase women that don't want to be chased. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 1:03:40 PM | I joined with the intent to find a girlfriend.
Been on a few dates...asked all the interesting women in my area to go out and got silence...no one left in my area new to ask out at this time.
So I discovered the forums some days ago and its an interesting place to hang out. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 2:10:31 PM | I like the forums. I skim through most as some are repetitive angsts that people go through on a regular basis. Some topics are talked to death. Some are intriguing. Some are quite funny. Most topics need some common sense. That is why the forums exist. For the person to have feedback that might help him or her in their confuddled state of mind. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 2:31:50 PM | | Mostly for the forums, but I do keep an active profile, just in case, I have met some good guys, but most seem to be only looking for a hookup lately, so I only stay for the forums, if they disappeared so would I. There are several regular posters that I really like, I find their posts helpful and insightful, there have been times that I LOL at some and others that I wonder how they even function, but it is always entertaining. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 2:44:40 PM | I've been here over 4 years and have only been on two meets. (sniffle) So yes, I'm only here for the forums. Kinda makes me happy knowing I'm not nearly as fecked up as a lot of people here. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 4:15:33 PM | | I am here for the forums as it as the best on the free sites, that I know of. Forgot about the dating side after meeting a few losers and this is so much more interesting and enlightening. As for people bashing you should drop by Oasis with the filthy language and so on over there. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 4:43:15 PM | I definitely love the forums apart from them being entertaining on occasion it also gives you a sense of satisfaction if you help someone who needs help, or you can have quite a lively discussion about lots of things i find. It's always interesting to read other people's point of view which may, or may not be the same as your own.
I do get my fair share of men contacting me, particularly young men, but quite a lot of men seem to want pen friends rather than relationships a lot of the time, maybe for an ego boost, but which defeats the object of being on a dating site i feel. I suppose it's what makes the world go round and i always answer a contact because i think if they have taken the trouble to make contact, they are worth a reply at the very least. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/13/2012 5:07:07 PM | I used this site when I was dating and I enjoyed interacting in the forums, there were a few more forum options back then as I recall.
No longer single but I've just come back to see what's happening in the forums again. They really are the best formatted forums around and a good way to exchange ideas with people around the world.
When I was single it was also a good way to meet and get a handle on potential friends beyond the information presented in their profile. People tend to reveal themselves more when they interact with others I've found. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/14/2012 5:01:25 AM | | The forums are fun and interesting!!! So much more so then Eharmony forums, which I think ar mean and nasty to people (the posters). There are a couple of women on eh that are downright hateful...Explains why they're there instead of out on a date. I think the men here on POF forums participate more as well. And also you can learn a lot of valuable info here!!! | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/14/2012 6:21:26 AM | I originally came here to see how to date. Discovered the Forums, and like them. Now, I frequent the Forums and exchange notes with the Forum friends I have made.
Not adverse to dating, just spend more time reading, participating in the Forums, than actively searching for a date. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/14/2012 7:27:07 AM | Forum's only for me thanks. I prefer to meet people in the real world. That way what you see is what you get. I have had way too many people make contact that turn out to be way too young or just want an intimate encounter, I'm over it. | |

| Anyone else only come here for the forums? Posted: 5/14/2012 9:22:23 AM | I mostly only come here for the forums
I take the occasional look around at the people in my area. But I tend to only send out 1 or 2 first contact messages a year mostly here for forumns
But I figure I may aswell not hide my profile. As the old saying goes. Let your net always be cast and in the pool which you least expect their will be a fish.
I dont expect to meet someone online. But I enjoy reading the forums and theirs no harm In increasing my chances of meeting someone by keeping a profile on display I figure.
The way I do it im never disappointed with online dating. And when I do occasionally chat to someone I like and get a date its a great bonus. I still use Real life as my main way to meet women. This just increases my options and allows me to meet the occasional women I might never have met otherwise. | |
