| | Has anyone had a good relationship with someone on POF?Page 2 of 9 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) | Zilch. My luck factor is a lot greater out there where people can actually talk to me and fall sway to my charms 
But on here, not so much. I'm not very photogenic and hate all my pics, but have been called a very attractive man. Such is life I guess. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 6:06:55 AM | Personally I have made more friends on the POF forum than I have had dates from POF that I would consider worthy of continuation.
Like Aspenjack said keep your expectations in check is always a good idea. | |

Marriage or a one-night stand? Depends on your perspective which generally falls into a gender one.
I haven't been here long enough but I can tell you from using another dating site that I did end up marrying someone I met, although it only lasted a few months and then we divorced. And I also have had about 50 one-night stands or short-term relationships with women I've met. | |

Ok your turn. Let's hear some of those apocryphal tales from the crypt of supposed anonymity from behind the blank curtain.. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 7:35:18 AM | I consider my current relationship a success story from POF. We met 3 years ago, decided within weeks of meeting we were dating exclusively, he moved to my town, and we plan to be together for the rest of ours lives :) That is success!!!
A secret? we are both real people, with a genuine desire to learn about each other. We also both have strong communication skills- so the initial emailing process was delightful.
Previous to meeting him, I had some dates, with nice men, some phone conversations with some men that I decided not to continue speaking with. Not everyone I spoke to or met "clicked" with me. Maybe I was a horrible experience for them! LOL
Be patient, and be real. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 7:40:10 AM | POF offers people..never guarantees..you the opportunity to meet a large number of people, easily from your home, for you to talk to, get to know, possibly date.
It is not POF that chooses poorly, people do.
It is not POF that has relationship/sexual/financial problems, people do.
How you use POF, who you choose to meet, how you conduct yourself up to and through that process, is totally and fully up to the individual.
There is a place here on POF where they post success stories, I don't recall where it is at, but yes..many people have meet the loves of their life on here.
I have met, had coffee with, remain friends with 2-3 women. I have also met and not progressed past a quick coffee meet and greet a few as well.
Again, it is totally up to YOU. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 8:01:13 AM | I have been on and off here for about a year, no real horror stories to share thank goodness. One disappointment yes, but that had to do with timing and not the individual.
I have met some really fantastic people but obviously not the 'one' yet. I remain optimistic that I will connect with the right man for me, either online or in real life.
My good friend met her partner here over a year ago. They are still going strong and head over heels for each other.
She was only online for about 2 weeks when they met. It is all about timing and luck. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 8:12:48 AM | I can't wait to share some horror stories with everyone, as soon as it happens; I can picture the girl telling people on here how I masterfully charmed her, convinced her to follow me into my Den of Iniquity and proceeded to consentually rape her all night, and how she had a the same lined up for the coming week...
Oh, the horror, the HORROR.... | |

I'd like to know if anyone has had SUCCESS with someone they've met on POF?
I guess that depends on what you think is being successful?
Gone on some "good" dates with people that weren't "personal horror stories" or major disappointments? Yeah.
Dating/in-a-relationship with any of them still? Uh, well, so far not really other than friends.
Is that a 'success'? Guess that depends on your point of view of what constitutes 'success'. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 9:13:42 AM | Yup, most of the people I met were decent people even if they weren't "the one". Had a few bad encounters, but those were by far the minority.
I met someone 3 years ago, and we're still together - even through some tough times that would have broken up other couples.
My advice? Stop expecting/hoping each new contact will be the one you're looking for. Accept who they are, good bad or ugly; that doesn't mean you have to accept *them*, just accept that is who they are, and move on without indulging in disappointment, anger, etc. I had to learn that lesson in the first few months I was on POF, else I'd have been another one posting on here about how everybody I was meeting wasn't who I wanted them to be. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 9:24:42 AM | I met three people exactly from PoF. One was crazy, literally, OCD, depression and a bunch of other things. He was a user and an abuser. I should have ran far away at the first red flag.... He lied to me about not having kids... Then I see toys at his place and asked who's they were.... To top it off, barely a week later he wanted me to go pick up his son at his ex wife's house... Omg, but he was such a smooth talker!
Second guy was a douche who lied about EVERYTHING and probably banged anything he could. Creepy and gross.
Third guy? From day one we hit it off, and have been inseparable since! We're living together now, and is engaged to be married!
Tip? ALWAYS trust your instincts! If something tells you to put your guard up, it's probably for very good reasons! | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 9:29:23 AM | | I wish I could say that I've met a fantastic person on POF, but I cannot boast that I have. The men in my area.....and its a large area are very negative, boring and some are just plain rude. I would rather be with someone who doesn't hold grudges from their past and has decided to swipe their past under their foot in regards to their previous relationships, we all must grow up one day. | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 9:58:13 AM | Yes it is possible!
No secret.....it took me three years and dozens of meets to find my love. I was going to give it up when I decided to go on one last meet. Both of us had no expectations and ended up with fire works. <3
I do have my share of 'interesting' meets....... | |

i have tried to talk to a lady on here but she was so rude and agressive she blamed me for chasing her i sometimes think women dont know what they want on here
Obviously, you didn't get the idea, and attempted more than once. She wasn't interested, or to dayum crazy for you to bother with.
Again..YOUR CHOICE IN THE MATTER..don't complain about it, if you ask more than once and continue to get turned down, k? | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 10:26:34 AM | Maybe to the beach with my Micro and Molecluar {hope builds...} Biology books {dayum..was hoping it was a bikini she was referring to!} and just read them. Who knows my man might meet me that way.
Why can't their (throw in an English book, k?) be men that looks like the user up above "serenesenses".
I guess because he is a younger man. :(
May I suggest the bikini route? :) | |

The first time you run headfirst into a brick wall you didn't know was there, is an accident.
When you *continue* to slam your head into the brick wall over and over, after you know its there... it isn't anyone's fault but your own.  | |

Posted: 5/31/2012 3:06:08 PM | Yes , quite a few.
Success, in that I have met some good people on here, that I have been able to have fun times with, and remained friends with.
Love, kindness, and friendship can usually be fostered if the given the right perspective. | |

Quite a few people meet here and have successful relationships - most of them go away so there aren't many of us left hangin' around to tell you about the success stories... just me and and my fellow forum addicts. | |
