| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women.
Posted: 9/10/2008 10:52:55 AM | | A woman dont give a rats ass what is in my profile..its all based on the picture. I kow from experience mam! Very few women read nothing in a guys profile. They just look to see if he has a degree and picture.. Has to be a hotty! Dont give me this shit about women look and dont respond to two and 3 sentences...some do. most dont care what u write.. maybe you and a few might believe that, but you wont ever change my mind. I date outside this thing too so i am not all that hard up. I do have alot more than some in my profile. I know alot women profiles that dont have anything wrote out hardly..they get plenty of mail they tell me. your wrong there. Yankee! | |

keyzguy: And Did I Mention, That Andrew Dice Clay Is My Hero,,,?
Andrew Dice Clay?!?!? It's a shame he hasn't come out with any new comedy shows since 1996, but he was hilarious back in the day.

Posted: 9/10/2008 1:30:31 PM | People never cease to amaze me. Has anyone on this thread even bothered to really look at it. This thread started in 2005. It is now 2008 and everyone is addressing the original poster as if he was still right there reading every reply.
For heavens sake, he has left the building. He is long gone. He met the love of his life who was his therapist. He started seeing her for counseling to deal with the stress and frustration of rejection he encountered from being on this and other dating sites and could never get anyone to talk to him.
They went on to start a new successful paid dating site where everyone has to undergo a huge psychological evaluation to determine compatibility. They banned communication by email and everyone meets by way of a ten person line up from only those who pass the evaluation. Men and women pick and choose their next date by looking through a glass and then choose a number between 1 and 10. All communication is done after they meet. | |

I would almost like to experiment and change my profile height to 6ft2 and see what happens. I am a male of slightly shorter than average height at 5ft9
This is my own opinion......but I would rather date a man that's 5'9" and honest about it than one that's say......5'9" and claims to be 6'. I recently had a VERY upsetting experience with someone I met on POF who lied about nearly everything. His height was just the tip of the iceburg. Stole someone else's pic, etc. The sad thing is that it's guys like this that make all women (even the most trusting of us) very, very cautious. | |

Posted: 9/10/2008 5:20:08 PM | Hey Blueeyedgirl,
I myself enjoy the female's 10 to 15 year old pics, the listings on their profiles that say "average", "a few extra pounds", "prefer not to say", on their body types. And when they finally do post a "recent" pic of themselves, ONLY AFTER sooooo many requests from so many guys to post the real them, it isn't even them! They don't even look like that anymore. And the "FEW" extra pounds suddenly turns into 50 or 100 extra. Gotta love it! After all, internet dating is what we make of it, right???
Love all the females pics where they have got every strange guy in the world in the pics with them; and the mixed drinks and beers in their hands, the helicopters, motorcycles, pretty boy's fancy car, landscapes, mountains,Vegas, Cabo San Lucas, France, Russia, Bahamas, South Padre Island, "ME on cruise to Hawaii", etc., etc. but we must remember, net dating is what WE ourselves can make of it.
The statements of "OH, I am Sooooo honest and sincere, kind, Christian, caring, truthful, accountable, dependable, responsible. And they PROMISE to email you the next day. NOTHING. And they PROMISE to call you the next day. NOTHING. And they PROMISE to meet you this weekend. NOTHING. But they do go to Church on Sunday. What wonderful females! And don't forget, internet dating DOESN'T depend on what the other person is or does, it's what YOU yourself can make of it!
Most of all, I enjoy the "It doesn't matter AT ALL how much money he has or what he does for a living". "Money means absolutely nothing to me". "I/WE never go for the guys that are tall, model types." "It's what's on the inside that counts and the intellectual part of a man that's important". Strange how then everyone sees women with the Brad Pitt and wheelbarrow loads full of money types, the motorcycle bad-boy types with a drug habit, and the like. Just remember though, internet dating and the dating world in general is TOTALLY what YOU make of it!!!
Makes the large percentage of us males (even the most trusting) very, very cautious!

It is not my intention to be negative. As i have said before, I met a lady on here that i have been seeing since last December. All i have to go by is what i see and what i read in a lot of profiles and forum post. It took me 2 years before i met the lady i speak of. So that tells you that i have seen a lot around here before i met her. I have been through more mental midgets than i care to speak of before meeting her. The women that i encountered for the most part did come across as damaged goods. I wouldn't say it if i haven't lived it right here on POF. A lot of the women that i came across have there standards way to high. Most of them are not willing to bend. Not even a little. A lot of them have been here 2 years and longer, still waiting for that perfect guy with the prefect picture, perfect teeth, perfect job, perfect everything and there bitter because they have been here this long and not found him yet. When a guy messages them that is maybe a everyday regular guy, Maybe he has no picture, or maybe he doesn't have perfect teeth or a perfect job or whatever it pisses them off. Because they think he is below there standards. Two more things, When us guys read these womens profile or forum post we can pick up on there frustration and anger. Just like you can when you read a guys profile or forum post. Spend some time sometime reading some of the profiles that women post. Spend some time reading there forum post. If you do it with a open mind you to can pickup on what we pickup on. That includes coming off like damaged goods amongst other things. And, It's OK to have preferences. I prefer a woman be at least 10 years younger than me. I prefer that she has no kids. I prefer she have well paying job. At least 70 thousand a year. I prefer that she have black hair, dark eyes, at least a 40DD 24 36. I prefer her to have sex with me as much as i like with out griping about it. Cook 3 meals every day for me and jump to my every whim. But, Is that gonna happen? Nice dream ain't it. | |

I actually think in most cases the women with high standards and the women who complain about still being single are two different types of women...I know a lot of women who want what they want, but know they're shooting for the stars and so they are prepared to never find it, and they're ok with that. I also know a lot of women who genuinely give men a chance but still have trouble finding someone who they click with.
If a woman has high standards and doesn't care if she ever meets anyone and is really prepared for it, then there's nothing wrong with her way of doing things.
If, however she is both expecting the best AND complaining there are no men, then yes I agree that it's pretty stupid. It's like being too shy and wanting to meet someone....you can't have both, you have to give something up. | |

Posted: 9/10/2008 8:06:01 PM | DJ That's one of the things I am trying to get across. People, Men and women need to come down off of there high horse get rid of there expectations of what they think they want and open there minds to other possibilities. I have read profiles and forum post of women griping that there are no men. "I am about to give up"." I am never going to find him". But when a guy messages them, read/delete. With out a second thought. And, they have been here 2 years and longer. It just seems to me that in that time out of all the millions of men who pass through here every month, In that bunch somewhere is a guy that if given the chance might could rock her world. But because of nitpicking she/he missed it. Nitpicking over pictures, Nitpicking because he/she is 10 miles farther than you wish to go, Nitpicking because he is bald, Nitpicking because she has kids, Nitpicking because he doesn't have a picture posted and on and on and on is just plain stupid and childish. Geez, Some people seem to think that because a guy doesn't have a picture posted she can't talk to him. DELETE!that one. Geez, The way some women react when a man tries to strike up a conversation on here you would think he asked her to fuc& instead of just trying to get her to talk to him. I am going to say this then I am going to shut up about it for a while. One of the most interesting persons I ever met didn't have a picture posted at the place I met her. I know in my heart that I could have fallen hard for this person if she hadn't been so far away. She was in South Africa. I have no doubt that if I had of had means of getting there I would have went. I talked to her for 2 years before I ever saw a picture of her. She was just as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside. That's why I talk to everyone. I don't discriminate because they have no picture. You never know, The one you cast aside because of some stupid idea (standards to high) could be the one you been waiting for.  DON'T MEAN TO YELL HERE. JUST WANTED IT TO STAND OUT. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT TO BREAK A RECORD. ALMOST 100 FULL PAGES OF TOTAL BULLSHYT. | |

Eddie - Why is it that people who have preferences or don't feel pressured into grabbing onto someone just for the sake of being joined on "high horses"?
As DJChickie said:

there are two different kinds and that applies to men as well!!!
As for personal reasons for the read and delete .... {gemgirl stops self from banging head on keyboard....} it's been covered so many times that there's no point trying again.
Bottom line is why keep complaining about something you can't change (others) and work on something you can (yourself)????  | |

Apparently you missed something. These are the people i am speaking of. As far as working on myself, I did, That's why i found somebody. I woke up and realized that what some friends were trying to tell me was true. I didn't see it for a long time. But they didn't give up trying to get through to me. Thank god they didn't. If they had i would have been just another bitter POFer. | |

Posted: 9/10/2008 8:54:47 PM | So sorry you've had such awful luck. I emailed 5 guys last week, and got no replies.....emailed a few the week before, and actually got 2 replies.....
It's quite difficult to find compatibility and chemistry when not looking in real life...in person......
You said that in real life that you get lots of attention....
So, my dear, my question to you now, is....
If, In real life, you fare much better than this impersonal exeptionally difficult to define internet site...well then, forget this stuff that doesn't work for you, and stick to the real thing..
And, yeah....it IS the same for us out here....or at least, it is the same for ME.....
This internet stuff just has too many predisposed expectations...... We all need to remember to be OBJECTIVE...but many don't know how to do that.
Hang tough, and hang sweet, but mos importantyl, keep hanging!! | |

Posted: 9/10/2008 9:12:57 PM | Eddie!!! There's nothing wrong with high standard, if thats what one wants let it be, its none of your business about what they want. As I can see you dont have standard at all? or your standard is hidden and you cant talk about it. If you read a woman's profile and not your type, just ignore it go for the next one lol. Each one of us has individual differences, and I really dont criticize them if their standard is high, if they want younger women, and I like their profile, I just pass it and pick another one, its their right to pick who they want. Have you been turn down so many times that make you feel that way when you read ladies profile with high standard? Why do you have to put us women down so much? There must be a reason for this, you have to work it out your self.   | |

Hum, Maybe i am not getting across here. So i will just be blunt. I don't give one damn about where people put there standards. No skin off of my ass. But, At the same time this is a open public forum where everyone is allowed there say. As for me and my standards, Well, Some people catch on, Some never do. So Let me make it simple. Some people set there standards so high no one can reach them. If they want to keep there standards like that and grow old alone, Hey, Who am i to say. But, I am allowed my opinion. If you don't agree with it. Well, I won't lose any sleep over it. As far as putting down any woman, No, I haven't done that. Not one time have i said anything against any woman. The only thing i said was,
the women that i came across Not one time did i say i had anything against all women. You really need to read closer before you try to argue with someone. The only thing i have done is point out a mistake that people,men and women make. So far you are the only one that has taken exception to it. So apparently it must be hitting home with you. I have never read your profile. But if you are one of these that has you standards up so high that no man can reach it then that is a problem for you to work on. If it strikes home with you don't get mad at me. I am just the messenger. | |

I agree with this to some extent. Yes there are plenty of women who have high standards and are okay with being single. But there are plenty of other women who have high standards and complain about being single. I have seen this in the POF forums among other places. Some women will complain about not having any success. Then when I look at their profiles, they have a long list of requirements. | |
