Look out new fishs!!!Thank you for showing all the reasons why i do not do bars. I thank those that made the evening a bit more enjoyable. The meat market attitudes were very enlighting, cougars hope you found your paly toys, but maybe you should grow up. I am able to see why i do not get a date with many of you, i would more then like have to wear a bag on my head if i did. Out of shame off being seen in public with most of you.

I do also thank those who came to the event and were open to metting others in the area. Babygirl, freese, lin, theresa and bracebridge lady, as for the other twenty i asked to dance may your fears come true To those many made up dolles, no wonder you need makeup, i would have had to chew my arm off in the morning anyway. Head games to the macks, and yes ladies asking for a dance is only asking for a dance. Maybe next time truely come to meet people and not think there is anymore then someone willing to say hello.

I am truely glad i came to 55, if only to see why being single is so much nice then having had to waste time looking for a date out new fishs.

@mistdog
You know, before you throw stones at the looks of others, you should maybe take a look in the mirror... or did you break it with one those stones you were throwing? If so, too bad..... mirrors tend to reflect the gross reality that "some" chose to ignore. But then, you could maybe take a look in the pool... that is, the bitter cesspool you are obviously immersing yourself in .... but then, you are doing the new innocents to internet dating a favour.... they know what kind of person you are now.

As for "cougars hope you found your paly toys"... if men like yourself are an example of your age group, it is no wonder women look outside of it. Thankfully, not all men are like you..... but it is because of attitudes like yours that I am deleting myself off this site.

Try and get rid of some your bitterness, and remember "you are never fully dressed without a smile"

Wow, mistdog, I think you may have just blown it with that last post, especially by posting a copy/paste of the same anger in two threads.

Are you always this negative when you are turned down?

I thought folks went to these events with an open mind, not a preconceived opinion.

I tend not to click on the "new user" button-figure they have enough on their hands trying to figure out the sight without one more person adding them to favorites or emailing them.
I have just adjusted my living place due to starting University in the fall-I think it is almost the same reaction as being a brand new user when you enter a brand new living area.

Newbie or not. I would not hesitate to contact them. I delete my favourites at times otherwise they add up quickly.

I do check the new fish, don't really pay much attention to the favs list on profiles. What really cracks me up is to see an "old fishie" back as a "new fish" over night...maybe it's the second honeymoon for them? the rush of maybe a new hit? not too sure but it's always odd when they email you one day and within hours show up with a new name, same pic and they are "new to this... so be gentle"

I give the new ones plenty of room, if they search and find me then great, if they are still here after a little time then I will say hello...call me a slow swimmer lol

LOL KitKat I had a honeymoon period without even a marriage I don't pay much attention to the numbers unless it is an obscene amout like a hundred or some , then I ignore them. I have had men add me to their favourites and deleted them after a week of no contact. I am assuming they plan to get back to me sooner or later but they will just have to work to find me again

I've been on here for a little over a month, and it didn't take long for me to see that this is going to be a long road ahead... It's been extremely slow with hardly no bites. My advice is don't expect too much too fast.

Hello Rose

Sorry you took it as negitive. As i was more angery with myself, for going to the bar that night. Overall the event was good for those that enjoy the bar like settings. Did i make a mistake about posting it (no) at least i was being honest with what i was feeling. Since that night i have been in touch with others. Some feeling the same and some not.

Yes i did go to this event with a open mind, and will continue to do so, it was just a night that was good on some levels,more then likely for many. For me it was a true eye opener, why i do not do bars. But this is my choice to choose what i post, if it means that many will not chat with me that is ok. I am a very caring person, with many talents and will never be afaird to write or speak what i feel, if one was to read my profile they might see that.

With that in minded, the only one i really judged that night was myself, in other words to each thier own, to thee self be true and never fear what the lession might be.

^^^^^^^^^Well, well, well, mistdog, why would I ever find your post negative??

Hmm.. could it have been .. "cougars hope you found your play toys"......or ...."maybe you should grow up"....or....."i would more than like have to wear a bag on my head ...out of shame" .... or..... "as for the twenty I asked to dance may your fears come true"...or.... "to those many made up dolles, no wonder you need makeup, i would have to chew my arm off in the morning anyway"

I thought your post was not only negative, it was downright rude, and I wasn't even at the party.

Good Luck!!

Thanks for your respone

True was over the edge. I can except that for sure. To all the ladies that were upset with this post, it was not directed at anyone other then what a bar seen does bring out in someone (including me). I should say, many of you, were open and did not deserve this

So i do take my responsability in what i wrote, be it rude(yes it was) But to be human is to learn and grow from what comes our way. What can be learned,is the important part.

Yes Rose, i did express in a negitive way to many things, but in any negitive a postive can be found, which i am sure many will be able to see and expand within ourselves. As i have for myself.

i humble myself to those i upset

From experience i've learned that when you first join it can be very overwhelming and for many a BIG ego boost. I remember my confidence level rising sooooooo much because all of these good looking men were messaging me. I was passing up men like crazy always thinking someone better is going to come along. My mistake!! I'm damn sure I missed out on some really great guys always looking for that bigger and better fish.



^^^^
That is an excellent point. Now only if more women took note of that

I would back off and come back later when the waters are calmer and the novelty's worn off. Good question though.

It took me over a year to get ONE message, and even to this day I get maybe 1 every month or so, on a good month. I just look at it like this, I know what type of guy I am, they don't, if they pass judgement that quick? Fvck 'em I don't want someone like that.
The unread/deleted messages I've sent out, I laugh about, it's amazing how the whole online thing makes people such vultures or elitists.

It really doesn't matter if you're new or not to this, shit happens, life is about chances, the doors are all unlocked, it's up to you to turn the handle, open them and walk through.

Kobe I am amazed that you don't have better luck with your email on here. You have solid opinions, you're a good looking guy and you appear to make friends fairly easily at POF events. I don't know what the issue is.

Whoever the woman is who gave you the testimonial is has a kickass smile but I can't message her because Kitchener is more than 75 miles from Whitby.

I remember the dark days when I joined this sight. I got very little mail and didn't think anything would happen. Mail slowly trickled in after a few weeks and by two months I was getting a message a day. I think a lot of that has to do with my cerebral fartage I add to my posts. I try to put my best foot forward always. Well, for me I put both forward at the same time just by driving there.

Every once in a while I will search for someone new looking for friends only, to welcome them to POF. I've found that being nice and offering to guide them to the forums is a good way to get them involved. It's just good to be nice sometimes without trying to make them a conquest on any level.

Every once in a while I'll get a message from someone who has been on a short time. They usually fawn over me and that's how I now they're new. haha.
