Yes, I got an email from the Cowboy telling me "see ya" alright! His heading was:
"to a truly nice person" - I knew I was in trouble and didn't really want to open the post. His profile said, only wanting one. Thinking now perhaps just wanting one for what reason - yeah to totally F _ _ _ with! Seriously unfortunate to be an obviously "unique" individual to do such a thing and sadly. Guess it'd be different if our time was sketchy at best, but it was not. Always alerted me to everything and advised me or kept me informed (or so it seemed quite so), not too mention always there like clockwork, and so darn much fun, laughed for hours every single night-amazing. Thought gosh if that much fun now - in person he'd be great and actually may indeed be, that is with whoever he is with at the time, ie wife, girlfriend, or roaming around his area etc - who knows really. Such a waste and such a shame.
However, as for you OMG - so so sad and so so sorry for you girlie. My heart just goes out to you - its sick - like a disease. I know no other way to explain it. Only they know their reasons inside for their actions. Believe it is them NOT us for sure. Your situation is a million times worse than mine but we all surely feel the same inside as well, no matter what the circumstance. How hideous. Personally can't imagine how you managed - time heals all they say - but how much time for all the cr _ p to subside?!...
TO: Lady Mara
Nicest words of posted encouragement ever! Nice to see. I'll try to make it my mantra. Lord knows I need it! Thank you for writing such a nice kind post. We all need a little help to get by from our friends - as the song goes!
Best wishes to all
NIKA

It’s a really good question. I believe people think they are on here to meet someone, and perhaps we really are, but for those of us that are a bit older, maybe deep down we are just too jaded from past experiences to take that chance with someone who doesn’t “fit the bill” perfectly. Notice I said “we”, because but I’m probably the same way…I have in mind the type of lady I would like to meet, but whenever I see someone who seems to have the qualities I am looking for and make contact, there is never a response. The same holds true for the few who contact me first…sadly I have found we have nothing in common, but for whatever reason they think we do….different perceptions I guess. Having said all that, I have decided that I have had enough of POF…this is my third time here and hopefully last. Time for the real world and good luck to you all. | |

Posted: 8/15/2007 8:10:17 PM | Hopefully there are a few at least who are sincerly seeking something lasting and substantial. Very few seem to know what they want until they decide what they don't want. It would be less hurtful if they could decide that before pursuing someone and dropping them and pursuing them again ....only to back off because they are not really seeking a relationship. If that is their type of entertainment.. then they truly are to be pitied. Those lives must be pathetically lacking something.
Some even complain about others not measuring up when they cannot muster the civility of a reply to an email. Measure up to what standard?....rudeness 101?
And then ya wonder why so many of us are just here for the forums.
Personally, I have family that will treat me badly, if I really need that. I don't need to come looking for strangers to do it. Anybody who has sisters will know what I mean .lol
and amen to the comment on lady_mara.. she is definitely a bright spot of encouragement in a sometimes dark and dreary world. I feel privledged to call her a friend . | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 7:05:29 AM | All I have to say on the whole thing:
BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH POF is a great big Pond that's germ infested.. and all the good lil Men Fishies have been bogged down by the Germs and Oooze. .... I want Long Term I get: LETS MEET UP AND SCREW!
Hmmmmmm a lil far from my goals.
I ask for respect (in my profile) I get: WOW NICE RACK!!!
Very few show me respect.. Or they do for a little while.
I don't believe nice guys finish last. I just believe the meanies Push them down on the way to the front of the line. | |

Posted: 7/28/2008 6:47:41 PM | Oh trust me us genuine guys are out there just have been jaded as much as women have. You can't gauge personality on the net at all. We have so much time to carefully plot out every sentence and every word it's incredibly hard to find anyone with true real world substance. I have met and dated women who were articulate online but couldn't hold a conversation face to face...Nerves not withstanding.
I have read profiles of what women want in a man and know that I fit in each and every catagory but get a read deleted. Same thing with other guys on this site. Why we hide on the bottom. | |

Posted: 8/2/2008 12:47:29 PM | When I joined this site my intentions were to hopefully meet someone,it didn't happen for me here.
I think in a way it never could have,I would talk with some men and for what ever reason,I always had a excuse why they weren't the one.
When I look back,I wasn't ready,too soon after a horrible realionship that lasted 12 years longer then necessary.
I never once though thought of it as personel entertainment,somewheres in the back of my mind I always knew I just wasn't ready.
I found the man I want to get to know all over again,not here but a childhood friend.
I hope everyone finds when their seeking in life,wether it be here or closer then you might think. | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 4:47:07 PM | I agree with what you are saying exactly. I have emailed several and never to get any reply. Unfortunately, a lot of women feel men are on these types of sites for one reason. Maybe there are many who are, but some of us are different. There are guys, like myself, that are genuinely looking to treat a woman the way the need, want and deserve - but I feel they are somewhat scared.
Head games are for teenager and not someone looking for that special person. A relationship consistas of two - and one of those can not be playing these games. | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 5:35:15 AM | | i do still beleive ppl are on here for personal entertainment,,, i have read though some of the posts i this thread,,read through some profiles of men and women who say they arent getting anything,, no emails, no IM's,, i also fit into that catagory as well,,, i receive no emails, no IM's.. so then when i come online and there is a page full of "men online in my city" who are they making contact with,,, cause it certainly isnt me. i agree i may not fit what they are looking for,,, but lets see,, i have friends on my profile,,,, i read through a profile and they say only seeking friends,, so i make contact,, only to not get reply or just get delete,,,, i really do give up | |

Posted: 9/6/2008 1:22:10 PM | I can understand the whole not wanting to hurt someone's feelings and telling them that "hey there is no chemistry between us".
What i don't understand are the people that tell you they are going to meet you at a given time and at a given place but don't show up.
I find it hard to be angry at these people because i don't know them. however its a waste of time and disruptive to my schedule for last minute cancellations and for no shows. Women and Guys - Smarten up and show up or cancel in advance.
Any one else find this happening to them too?
Oh by the way a nice girl that i met here in N.B. told me this "If someone here is not willing to meet... there is something wrong with them." I tend to agree. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 4:48:09 AM | | i always beleived most ppl were on here for their own personal entertainment,,,,my thoughts are being confirmed by the number of men that are telling me they came on cause they were bored,,, just stirring the pot a bit,, they are not seeking anything but self amusement,,,that was all the evidence i needed to confirm that hey maybe i am in the wrong place,, i will not be the sorce of anyones own personal entertainment... or maybe that what just their way of saying hey i am not interested,,, either way,,,soooooo imature | |

Posted: 9/16/2008 6:55:24 PM | I am a shy guy and so I decided to come on pof, to see what it had to offer, I have met great people yes.
However I have found alot of ignorent, meningless, rude, unethicall, unprofessional, lying, hight class wannabies, looking arround for the one thing, and if you aint got it, you aint worth being spoke too. Plenty of fish is a great site however some people really have to look at themselves before comming on a site like this and making judgment. I mean if you are just breaking up with your ex, dont come on here saying your looking for LONG TERM, or the best, chat for a few days all goes well and no responses or nothing. I mean have some sense to reply and say you found someone else you are not interested.
Lately or within the last few months I found pof and hearing it also, from others is the place to come if you want to get laid. So right now I am cautious on who I chat with and just making freinds more then anyting.
My two cents | |

Posted: 9/17/2008 8:01:18 AM | i definetly agree with the lying sacks of trash that seem to be lurking around,,, ok so you IM someone,,, you are chatting for a while,,conversation is going as far as you are concerned, good,,,,, then out of the blue,got to go to work,, or have an appt,,or what ever excuse they seem to be able to come up with at the time, window is closed,,, no chance to say squat,,,,, sooooo you go off browsing again,,, the ironic thing is they are still there and continue to be there for a long while after,,,,,, so i ask is it tooo hard to say you are not interested,,, no need to lie and make up excuses,, we are after all suppose to be adults,, some of us anyways
suckerformore1 love the new pictures of you,,, | |
