I have not had any luck either . Where are all the emails you'll talkin about. You can tell you ppl don' t have a life because you all always on the forum .For God 's sake get one you all boring with the winning.
Misypearl67,
We have a life, we just chose to spread our fruits of love, joy and happiness here in the forums with each other. If you take a moment to really read the forums you will find that a lot of friendships have been made. Life is difficult and hard enough, when you have negativity, you multiply your sorrows and burdens. When you share your Joys you multiply your happiness.
Here we try to share positvie thoughts and pick our friends up when they are down and in times of need. Because we all know and believe " sorrows shared are sorrows lessed, joys shared are Joys multiplied"
I can not answer why you have not had any luck, I can say that "you can get more flys with honey than vinegar". We are glad to have you here, please check out the good morning and good evening threads... Hopefully they will shed some light as to why we come back day after day! We have made friends...
When we have relationships that are difficult it is usually because we are ignoring something about ourselves. We are attracting individuas to us who will mirror us back our values and what is important to us."
-- Alana
Good Luck and God Bless

Contempt prior to investigation + unrealistic expectations = unlucky little fisherpeople.
Change your ____________ minds and you attitudes and you may meet some really great, compassionate, friendly people ~ like damn near all these Georgia people I've been priveleged to get to talk to.
Or stay on your fur-lined pity pot!
There's a pay off to both ~ you choose which one suits you.
Somebody help me off this stupid box! 
PS: Go Google Charles Swindoll and read his writings on Attitude. Or Max Ehrman's Desiderata. I'll be there myself.... need my own attitude adjustment after this! | |

Posted: 2/19/2007 6:00:49 PM | Okay, 2-day....that begs a question.....how on earth do you keep it from the native-born southerners here who can spot a fake drawl? I can't sound southern, especially if I try. After living here 9 years every once in a while I'll start talking kind of fast and whoa.....I hear a twang. But it's not nearly enough to fool anyone, least of all my friends like Sneaks and sea. An interesting thought, though......
Peace,

Posted: 2/19/2007 6:38:00 PM | OMG, Ruthannah, you are so right about Sneaks knowing that southern drawl!! I get teased every time I talk to him about sounding so southern!
As for mistypearl, girl, if you're going to hang with us, you have to learn to be more pleasant! We're not whining one bit about the luck here...we've had the best of it in the friendships we've made. | |

If I might add to your quote browneyed, I believe that is why alot of us are here, I'm sure it has nothing to do with not having a life. I think someone just rolled out of the wrong side of the bed.. to quote another friend here...
Good grief..
cheer up Misty, and welcome  | |

Well, Jerry, I suspected as much. Congratulations to you and your fiance! All the best to you both. Hopefully, the same fate (of finding someone you really mesh with) awaits more of our friends.
Peace,
Ruthannah | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 6:21:00 AM | I have been on this site for 6 months now and I few responses, but when you message them back, it seems that the "mails" fizzle out after about 2 messages.
Men on this board seem to be playing games in regards to this matter and are not serious.  | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 6:35:57 AM | You would think that since people are kind of forced to get to know you on here first before making presumptions about you, that all this would be easier than meeting people in the real life. It's not. The same things that we don't like about people in the real world carry right on over to the internet.
silly me that what i thought that it would be easier to get to know people before you actually meet them nut you are right kuntree same shit different venue. now instead of the few women that i might speak to passing judgement on me, 42000+ people online get to past judgement to if they so desire. and it doesnt matter the approach or what is said all that matters is what you look like. and once you past that test (if you do) then they pick apart youre, grammar and spelling ( if you arent a great typist does that make you illiterate) then their are the expectactions and demands no pic no response must not smoke cant be looking for this or that please
But I mean the women on here are just as shallow as the men anyway, so it shouldn't be an issue. They're all looking for an online Prince Charming to sweep them off their feet and take them somewhere they can live happily ever after
Once again sounds true to me but silly you not liklely to happen. That is the funniest shit i ever saw on a dating site 5ft 2 in 250lb mother of 4 doesnt want an unattractive man LOL First of all with that descrption and that baggage and that attitude who is really going to attracted to that I m sure taye diggs just waiting to meet that ass
Dating online harder and more complex than i thought PEACE GEE!!! | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 8:59:33 AM | | Congrats to you, Jer! You have been conspicuously absent and it appears there was GOOD reason. The best to you! And what is it that Barbra Streisand said to Robert Redford in "The Way We Were"? "Your girl is lovely Hubble"...Again good luck to you both! | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 9:26:45 AM | | if we are all honest about what we are looking for you would think this would work out. Boy meets girl -girl responds to boys email-the every other day chatting begins.Ive been out with women from other sites that flirt with you two days later on the same sight without even knowing its you. It is definetely a womens market and people do tend to look only skin deep--always have always will. you may try getting a number and communicating that way. Its as safe as ever with caller id and way easier to get to know people.unfortunately for me my personality exceeds my photogenic attributes and it is definetley hard to overcome that on this sight . my post is no LUCK. | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 12:58:56 PM | | Well I agree about being honest. Everthing in my profile is the truth. I am the kinda person who tells it like it is. I was wondering what happen to guy meets woman then what? As far as me I had guys I 've meet and all I hear is how much they like me and want to see again ,I will call you then never hear from them ,then you wondering why they are still sinlge ,looking ,mmm tells me that their profile is all lies and playing with games. IAM NOT BEING NEGETIVE EITHER JUST FROM EXPERIENCE. | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 3:47:59 PM | | I think what it boils down to for a lot of people is fear..not of making a committment, but of the other person not wanting the same thing. Another problem is distance. Relocating is not always an option, especially when there are families involved. Several things have to be considered before taking the "big step," or at least they do for me! I'm just waiting patiently for the good Lord to send the perfect man for me! | |

| One Final Posting and Some Random Thoughts
Posted: 2/20/2007 8:15:35 PM | You folks that have been on this forum for awhile know that I've said from the start that as soon as I find that "special someone" I'd pull my profile...well, I've found that special someone and my profile is coming down tomorrow (Wednesday) night...but before I go, I just wanted to share some random thoughts.
I came on POF looking for a long term relationship. After many, many emails...some phone calls and two or three "meets" ... I'm leaving a better person than when I arrived.
Some of the things I've learned?
Don't expect to hit a home run the first time up to the plate. He/she may be right there, but odds say that it'll take some time and searching to find the right one. I met three wonderful ladies on here but the chemistry wasn't right...doesn't mean they're bad people or that I'm bad people...just means we didn't "click"...mmm...kinda sounds like a similar problem in real life too, eh?
Don't push things. Part of my make up is I'm a Type A personality. I've learned over the past 60 days that my personality helps me succeed in my business life, but it can be a detriment in my personal life...sometimes I've come across too strong and forceful. So I'm learning to "dial it down a notch" when it comes to my personal life...and I owe the ladies of this forum a bouquet of roses for teaching me this.
Maintain a sense of humor about all this...if you don't meet someone here, it's not the end of the world...so just cause you haven't found the right lady/guy, don't badmouth the folks that are here...mmm...if you're badmouthing them, I don't blame anyone for NOT wanting to get next to you anyway!
A word to the guys...once a lady says she has found someone...congratulate her and move on. My "special lady" has gotten a a few emails from ***holes who were actually retarded enough (yah, I hope you know who I'm talking to and my phone # is 404-630-0828 if you have a problem)...anyway a few ***holes have emailed her AFTER she posted that she found someone and STILL tried to hit on her! C'mon guys...that's 3rd grade stuff and shows exactly why you're still alone.
Anyway, 24 hours from now my profile will disappear...but I wanted to say thanks to Browneyes, Kel, Sealover, RuthAnnah, Blu, Wolfie (where did he go), Flyattendantant and so many others who have helped this ol' boy find love and happiness...
Oh yah, one more thing.....Psss....Burkedclass...yah, YOU!!! That's MR ASSWIPE TO YOU BUSTER!
Take care, God bless you mightily and may you find exactly what you're looking for on here!

Posted: 2/27/2007 1:08:51 PM | Do people actually have luck on this site?? Yes they do.
I talked to a man via email for over a month. We then progressed to talking on the phone ( for hours and hours on end for weeks and weeks.) Then we finally went to dinner and it was AMAZING!!! We could talk and laugh and smile and ENJOY ourselves!! We were and still are in complete comfort with each other.
I am so thankful that we did take the time to email so much and then talk even more before we met each other.
We just "clicked" and have been happily together every since.
I
wasn't so sure how this thing worked in the beginning and thanks to Michelle and Jerry and a few others I started to see the light.
I got an email from a guy one day that was bright and witty and amusing and the rest is history in the making.
So YES you CAN find love and happiness on POF. You just have to keep casting and reeling them in, you will catch the right fishie soon enough!
Thanks Michelle and Jerry and the rest of all for the advice y'all gave me.. It worked WONDERS!!!!

Posted: 2/28/2007 6:44:11 PM | New fish in the pond, but back in the day when a lot of the "personals" sites were really free, I fished for a while and had a lot of fun, if not "lucky" ......
Glad to see the pond keeper put this site up as it is a chance to get to meet some new people maybe outside of your local area without having to deal with the hype. Unfortunately I am afraid that "geeforc" is right, cynical as that may seem. Many folks on both sides of the fence seem to think they are ordering out of the Sears and Roebuck catalog (Oh my, I guess my age is showing)
On the plus side, in my short time here, I have had a chance to have some interesting conversations, meet some folks I would not have met otherwise, and who knows what may happen. If I did life would be toooooo boring.
Remember why they call it fishing and not necessarily catching
