| People who can't hold a conversation
Posted: 8/31/2006 7:03:38 AM | I have an EXCELLENT suggestion for improving conversation skills--use the t-e-l-e-p-h-o-n-e!
Many people work on a computer all day long--the last thing they want to do is try to type out conversations. There are also ways to block your phone numbers if confidentiality is a concern. | |

| People who can't hold a conversation
Posted: 8/31/2006 7:16:12 AM | I even don't bother with people with more than twenty in the "appears on their favorites list" because how come they don't purge it and delete some. They could not possibly be sincere if they are dangling twenty people along.
***Huh? I don't control who chooses to put me on their favorites list. I'm on about 40 people's list and most of them have never even contacted me. So, that means what? That they liked my pictures? I have gone in an purged the list of names I didn't recognize before at least twice, but then why should I even bother to do that?

Posted: 8/31/2006 1:02:55 PM | | I'm pretty much reclusive type. I like my space,silents and being able to think through at eased without the worries of anyone elses buisness.In person or over the phone i can communicate very well.Yet even then i still need to get to know the person well enough before phone or in person coversation even exist.Lets just say i'm very old fashioned.I take things slow no matter what it maybe.Sad but true but i tend to alienate myself from everyone at times.For one i hate gossip,pretender or just a b u tt kisser.I try to be honest and true to everyone and i expect the same.I have dealt with hypocrites,jealousy and constant bickering online.I hate argument i never truly was fond of such actions.Debates about specific important (life)then you got my attention.But to try lowering someone personality so you will look good.You can keep me out of it and just keep your trash in your section.You won't see me stepping all over it. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 8:54:45 PM | Usually I can't muster the energy to have a decent conversation with someone unless I am actually interested in them...or if they laugh at 'butt jokes.'
Girls who can do decent 'South Park' impressions are at the top of my list of 'keepers.' | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 9:08:09 PM | | I find that a lot of people on POF are actually good conversationalists in person, but doesn't feel comfortable expressing themselves through email. Various reasons includes - lack of familiarity with using computer keyboards, and etc. Overall, I think it's best to invest your time in an email with someone that is to your liking, than to do a number game. Good, stable relationships aren't founded in the fast lane. | |

Posted: 9/2/2006 9:18:31 PM | rizzex I love "butt jokes"!
Butt.....back to the topic. Chatting with strangers can be really exhausting....even good, intelligent, articulate people can become exhausted from all the effort. Yes it is annoying as hell, but don't judge them too harshly....possibly give it another try at another time. Often you have to find that MAGIC thing that sparks a real conversation and sharing of information rather than the boring old predictable questions.
And it is truly a rare gem who can have real conversations online for a long period of time (many months or years) I have only met a few men who can do that. They are GREATLY appreciated by me and valued in this pond of chit-chatters. Especially my cuz....he's the best!!! | |

Posted: 8/30/2009 6:31:38 PM | | i totally with you daisy this e-mail to various strangers on this dating site can be long and so repetitious. And most can't hold or lead a conversation which leads me to not put too much of time and energy on these dating games. | |
