| Does This Seem More Of A Friend Site, Than A Dating Site 2 U...?
Posted: 10/24/2006 3:23:10 AM | I had to jump in on this thread and say a few things about not just POF but internet dating in general.  1. NO PICS.....chemistry is a important part of a relationship. Granted, not all people have the means to put a pic out there but I for one will not entertain meeting someone that I have no idea what they look like ! 2. OLD PICS....been burnt on that more than a few times.....always feel I have been deceived from the get-go ! Not a good way to start ! 3. Old profiles.....wonder why someone never responded ? Their profiles remain and they have since been married and had kids and here I am wondering what's wrong with me ! y  On a free site this is to be expected but on pay sites ? I was shocked to learn this is a common practice ! 4. Rudeness.......I would think that most people would at least say SORRY...not interested ! or Too far away ! rather than let someone hang not knowing if they even read the correspondence. Whatever happened to common courtesy ? 5. Cost.....after spending $150.00 on e-harmony.....over 200 'matches'.....met 1 person.....will not pay for a site again ! As far as POF goes...it's a nice site....I check it out daily.....no real intent to just make friends but that's not a bad thing if it happens. I get the impression alot of married people are on sites and alot of guys are looking for a 'quick score' but that's common in the dating scene....take the bad with the good. I would like to think that your chances of meeting a soulmate on POF are no greater or worse than the pay sites out there and some of them are pretty damn expensive ! My two cents !  | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 3:33:27 AM | I'm looking too and not having any luck.
I'm about to give up.
first off pat, you have to use the search option that everyone is given and start emailing people out there don't just rely on guys here in the posts. secondly...and most important...do not push yourself on anyone. everyone sees how you make hints to people ie. "i wish i could have been there", "i would like to go fishing with you". you have to stop that.
there are reasons unknown why i haven't found anyone on he hasn't found me yet but guys see the way you are hun and they don't like that. there is also the fact that you can't get around much, mainly during the day is when you like to go out, some guys would rather meet in the evening or at a mall or something, they don't always like to do things during the day because either they're busy or working. now, i'm not saying that to get you mad or upset with me but everyone sees it. don't be so pushy as to what you wish or would like to do, if they're interested in you then they would make a suggestion to you about a meeting. i'm sorry to say it here but i did let you know in private before and you don't seem to listen or want to listen. i'm just trying to give you a little sisterly advise, no punt intened.
big g..........i would never pay a dating site, not now, not ever.......i'm glad i was told about this site. as for people and their profiles, yeah you're right, they should have pics and keep everything updated. and as for people and their honesty, well you find some that are honest in their posts and their profiles but when you meet them in person they're completely opposite of how they say that they are. you just have to keep your eyes and ears open and look and listen to everyone and everything around you.
pat's a single woman, very nice, why don't you give her a shout. | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 3:48:13 AM | | don't you dare remove your profile............. you have to start looking at the options that the site gives you. you are well liked here, but you have to back off on things like i said. don't be too pushy like i previously said. now, if you remove your profile then i'm also losing a sister and so are the other girls in here. you better stay, after all, who told me not to close out? | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 4:08:04 AM | Pat lives way too far away from me. I'm looking for someone alot closer.
Pat.....you're not alone.....don't get frustrated.....somewhere....maybe not on this site.....is someone for you. It's like fishing........no action for awhile and then ....WHOA !....caught the big one !  | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 4:38:19 AM | Thanks Anna dont worry I wont leave have to many awesome friends
that i would miss. Thanks Big G for your kind words.
I wish the same for you.
Since I've lived in West Chester its always been a problem to meet anyone
cause of long distance,they are always looking for someone closer.
Its ok I understand,maybe one day out of the blue I'll catch a big one.
All I can do is put the line in the water and wait for the fish to bite.
I have all the patiences in the world.

| Is Anyone Seriously Looking 2 Meet & Date On Here...?
Posted: 10/24/2006 7:37:32 AM | | I personally think youre right. I have yet to meet anyone, serious about getting to know each other on this site, either its because I'm a Black man, or too old for them or last but not least; I get no answer at all from my messages. where as on paying sites, at least I get the curtesty of a reply, or and a real chance to meet and talk to said person. So I agree with you on your comment. Dap22 | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 1:09:31 PM | CRZY--
[Deep down, I kept thinking that something is wrong with me since I am the "common denominator" in any and all relationships.]
Oh, do I HEAR you!!  But, from my limited "online" dating experiences, I can tell you for sure that you're doing all the right things---maybe just practice for when you will be appreciated for having manners, courtesy, consideration, respect and common sense. I will happily be part of your cheering section---BRAVO 
Fee-based online dating sites are time/money wasters, for sure: Eharmony was kind enough to tell me that it may take a while to find a match, as my personality "fit" only 3% of the general population (gee.....thanks....and all this time I thought I was getting along with all kinds of people--silly me!) Match.com brought men to my life that could read, but apparently not comprehend--(duh...how many times did I say I was NOT going to sleep with someone I just met??)
So, I'm wondering, too ....I live in a tiny town on the Pennsylvania tundra, where the dating pool is pretty shallow unless you're willing to loosen your parameters to include the "married but 'fun' on the side" population... so, online seems to be a reasonable option. I think it's reasonable, anyhow...haven't had much on the plus side to go by yet  , but the optimism still shines... | |

Posted: 10/24/2006 1:30:00 PM | I will repeat I made some nice friends here...!
But sorry 4 those who don't agree that u have a better chance on certain paid dating sites..!
At least I have.. ppl are more serious IMHO when ur paying 2 find someone!
I'am not saying all dating sites as I paid 4 some that I beleive were a Joke!
But Y personals i found my love but he died almost 3 yrs later...!
And singlesnet I get replies everyday and i don't even have a pic up...lol
But do tell them i have pics 2 those interested...!
Been on a few dinner & dancing dates, met some really nice guys...!
E-HARMONY is the most expensive and is a JOKE i think...?

But HEYYYY.... good friends are PRICELESS hugs to u all...! | |

Posted: 10/26/2006 11:53:22 AM | wow.. Im surprised at some of the comments here. I find this place a lot better than a paysite. The only paysite I paid for gave me a steady stream of Psychos or no reply at all.
I have truly enjoyed my time here. I have met some really awsome people here. Honestly they all have been awsome in their own way. Some just were for me and I wasnt the one for them. My luck here has been like Microchips. but yes I have made more female friends than I have made dates. And I have come to believe those friendships I have made have made me a better person. But the few I have dated have been wonderful. Just not the perfect match.
And I also find it in poor taste to throw stones at the few here that have mentioned poor fishing luck. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 5:34:58 PM | Oh come now.....When you walk down the street thinking hmmmmm she's attractive I'd like to go out with her and amazingly she walks into the same coffee shop and amazingly she's got this voice that makes you crazy and amazingly she drinks the same coffee the same way as you BUT has no interest in dating you......Do you A) From that point on take alternate streets. B) Immediately change your brand of coffee. C) Buy a voodoo doll and use the hair you've collected from her to cast a love spell....or D) Get over it and chat up the next woman you fancy..
Fish-O-Plenty is just a vehicle. No guarantees. It does however widen your sphere of influence, It does (if you follow the easy to read directions) make you a more informed type dating person, It does offer lots of free entertainment, but no it never will magically deliver the woman or man of your dreams to your door. (unless you're damn good at those love spells) Please send locks of hair and a recent photo to P.O. Box 1919 Pittsburgh Pa. 15219

Posted: 2/18/2007 7:57:25 AM | | Theres alot of story tellers and fakes on every sight.I've got friends on here too.They make me feel like a human being and thats like having a pot of gold.These people are too young or too old for me for a long term relationship ,but I would take them to dinner anytime and would go home afterwards happy.I really hope soon we can all meet just to talk to each other.If this is more of a friend site,then at this point I say ''Fine with me''. | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 8:09:49 AM | I also have made awesome friends on here.... but the one special one just does not seem to be happening... So for now I look at this site as just a place to talk and gather with close friends... if a fish happens to nibble my line, then hey all the better  | |
