| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 2:43:06 PM | | I've dated 16 guys from here. Mostly they were like they described themselves, with a couple of really bad exceptions. There were some great guys (you know who you are), it's just that the chemistry hasn't happened yet to continue on more than a few dates. | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 3:02:36 PM | | Well, in all fairness, Mencer, a good male friend of mine met his current girlfriend on POF, and he has made it clear to her that he's on here ONLY FOR THE FORUMS, which amuse and entertain him. I believe him, and more importantly, so does she. | |

would you still be on POF if you had someone???
How about this scenario? He lives in another state and he is able to IM me from work throughout the day. Also, I enjoy the forums...
Now...should he and I end up in the same state, you probably won't see me again!
FINAL THOUGHT:
Wouldn't it be sillier to say you had found someone if you hadn't? | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 5:27:37 PM | I actually have! And I get the impression that some people think that if you are willing to go out with them, that you have some kind of ulterior motives. Or you are just an easy prey for sex and/or desperate. Several have turned out to be married. ARRGGH. I am very particular about who I go out with, if no one is looking out for me, then I have to do it. I would say, I have not been so lucky on this site except for finding some true friends to talk to, and hope that one will turn in to more than just friends.  | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 5:29:50 PM | I am kinda in same emotional boat right now as the op where I think I may have another go back at the real world. I have met several guys off here and almost all were looking for sex. Maybe it's just me but that is my experience so now I am taking a break. I find that this site is like shopping at wal-mart when nordstroms is right down the road! Part of the problem is that this is a free site so anybody and everybody gets on here whereas if they had to pay a monthly membership they would probably be less inclined to pay to search for just a sexual partner.
I love the forums however and I have met many great people to whom are good friends from here. To all those who this site works for congrads that's awesome! | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 5:42:43 PM | | I have! And I have only been a member since July 4 of this year. He was a nice guy, very much like his picture and profile. It's always worth it to take a chance, once you've screened someone through im's and phone. | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 6:06:03 PM | I dated 1 woman from here and it was nice. She had some major problems that she needed to take care of before a relationship and I had a few myself. Our schedules didn't match at all and she seemed "in a hurry. Nice woman, we talk, get along.... As for this site: If you want it to work, you need to work it and BE PATIENT. Get to know a few people on line before rushing to just 1. If you rush, you might get to the wrong one and miss the opportunity that WAS there. Thats why it's called "DATEING" not "COMMITTING " yet. | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 6:13:32 PM | I had a coffee date just after Christmas 2005. The guy was looking for a "mom" and a landlady....besides the ever-present offer of sex like so many of them.LOL. I gave him the boot.
There may have been others ....I can't be sure. I go on a lot of coffee dates that simply don't stick in my mind because so many of the guys are on several Personals sites...as am I. | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 6:25:50 PM | This is a really great question!
I haven't dated anyone *yet* from this site, but I have met a lot of really great guys! Some are just friends and others are men that I am interested in, but haven't received the green light from them.
So it's one of those, if you actually have the opportunity to date someone from this site, I think it would be something wonderful! | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 6:27:54 PM | Tony, I get the same comments from men who meet me. I am invariably told that I look much better in person. I've heard that I have this "aura" in person that just doesn't come through in photographs. (Plus, I'm horrendously unphotogenic). There are men who disappear once I send them my pics (I don't post them with my profile). Guess they'll never get the chance to see how beautiful I really am, huh?
Perhaps when women say you don't look like your photo, it is a compliment. | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 6:28:01 PM | | I actually met and dated someone from here last year. We chated for about a month and dated for 2, didn't work and we were friends for a bit, now....well we just don't talk. He was just like his profile said and his pictures were true as well. He's back in here I'm in here. One of my co-workers actually met her husband online, not from this site but they still met online. I've heard lots of positive stories enough to make me a believer. | |

Takes some work to get some peopel to understand thanks, but no thanks. I don't even kiss on the first date but, I have met some doozies. I am not just a sex toy.(might make that my new header) | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 8:24:51 PM | Well, so far so good, as the saying goes. I have had the pleasure of 3 dates with men of pof and I've enjoyed myself no end. Maybe I've been lucky but they're all intellegent good looking men. The last one was the best of the bunch . I'll have to wait and see....... But, I live in hope and you all should keep it up, this is one of the best sites I've found. | |

| How many people have actually dated anyone from POF Posted: 7/27/2006 8:39:58 PM | | I have only meant one from this site(he isn't on it any longer). He didn't look a thing like his pic on here, and he wasn't anything like he presented himself online or on the phone. | |

I would delete my profile faster than you could say delete my profile and would expect them to do the same. | |
