Posted: 10/12/2009 12:51:04 AM | | I know how you feel. I have been on here for about 3 weeks and I haven't even gotten not one response. I was truthful and said what I am looking for, what I look like(pics) and so forth and not one response. I don't want to be fake but am I just too old, or too plain, or too fat for a dating site? I don't have a problem with myself. I think I am a great person and had 2 long term relationships. I have spent the last 7 years not dating so that I could raise my kids(single mom)but they are now 21 and 23 and I figured I would have "me time" now but it looks like I am the only one. Well, that is the loss of those who choose not to get to know me. If anyone is looking for a friend then I am out here. I do love watching football and love to sing and dance. If there is another site out there that would be better suited for me, then can someone let me know. Thanks yall, have a great day! | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 1:48:19 AM | There are some real idiots on the net.
They say one thing and do the opposite.
One complete and utter d*ck couldn't cope with something that happened on another site, so he decided to plaster my pics on the net with stupid little rumors attached to them, into the public forums of that site. That was his trademark with a few women. A complete and distinct lack of class - he was renowned for his tasteless approach.
He is on this site too ... though I give him a wide berth. Just be careful of the kind of person you get involved with.
A lot tell you what you want to hear, but it is nothing like what they really feel or think or do. | |

Have just had THIS happen to me...Although it wasn't so much what I wanted to hear as what it would TAKE for him to pass as "normal" I guess...
It's unfortuante the lowly and inappropriate behaviour that people choose to engage in because it's "online"...
It's a good idea to remember that there are PEOPLE behind all of those profiles who have thoughts, feelings , etc of their own....
You don't get some kind of "pass" to behave like a complete azz, just because you meet someone online...
As for giving up on this...well, as jaded and cynical as I CAN feel sometimes with the whole dating scene, whether here or in the "real world", I try to not take it too seriously, and just keep living my life hoping that I'll eventually be one of the "lucky ones" and meet someone who I can relate to...
Hey! It HAPPENS, ya know?!?!?!? 
(Last I heard...to a gal living in Lubbock, Texas.... ) | |

It takes all kinds to make the world go round. Azz's make us appreciate the legitimate men more ...

Posted: 10/12/2009 8:44:34 AM | I look at POF, and the one other dating site I am on, as a way to connect with people I would never have never met away from here. Have become friends with some as far away as Australia, England, and all over Canada and the US.
Have had several dates as well as a few shor-term relationships as a result of being on here. And, as an added plus, now have a collection of single friends close to home through my participation in the local POF coffee nights. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 5:56:37 PM | Sometimes people just have to vent and expound on their hurt.
It would be easy to fade out, but like Strollin' I have made a lot of internet friends and some from the meet and greet............dates, not so much. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 11:53:19 PM | I wouldn't give up on it. It would help a lot if you posted a photo or several of yourself, though. A lot of people don't like to write to someone until they know what you look like.

Posted: 10/13/2009 8:35:55 PM | | Yup, it is everyone else, it isn't you... Honestly you get out of dating sites what you put in. Of course luck is a factor. | |

Posted: 10/13/2009 8:40:59 PM | | yeah, you've only been here a month, it takes a long time to really know you've failed...along with a whole lot of others...so you're not alone | |

Posted: 10/13/2009 8:57:05 PM | | How long to know if you've failed? I think I have..I can't get anyone to even agree to meet me. I give guys my number..they don't call..what the heck? If it wasn't for these hysterical forums, I'd have been gone a long time ago. | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 12:24:03 AM | | Oh stop moaning. Even I get lucky once in a while if I try really hard to find that one guy. Heck you probably live in an area with a higher population than I do so technically chances should be you find more people you are compatible with. Maybe your weeding out process isn't refined enough lol | |

Sorry, don't mean to be nasty but you've only been on here for 3 MONTHS and you're already frustrated? How many messages have you sent out to women so far? (assuming you are looking for women lol) Or are you just waiting for women to contact YOU instead? I find that with online dating, you just have to take the initiative and make the first contact. Also, don't be too picky either, cos you just never know who you might find... | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 3:20:51 AM | Just view it as a hobby not a dating site, bit of social interaction to pass the time.Its never gonna answer your prayers.
I reckon the advice I was given that theres probably someone already in your Cell or circle who you have overlooked, just waiting, is true. | |

Perhaps for some of us..............the photos are the reason we are not contacted.
...superficial people need not apply here.................... | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 6:08:54 AM | | So what makes people superficial if they want to see who they are chatting with? If someone without a photo writes, if I am interested I will write back and ask for a photo. What is wrong with that? | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 9:52:00 AM | | umm, all seems a bit superficial, think the expectations on both sides can be a little too high, just because you managed to get a half decent photo on your profile people think you are going to look glamarous all the time, cold light of day just shows that we are all only human.!! | |
