Eeek... you forgot your pills again.


Hey, I didn't write it. Just quoted the lyrics like Bill did and he didn't get a pill crack. (Note: he changed the lyrics a bit. It was Brad not Bill.)


Remember... one white one, one yellow one ...AND NO BLUE ONES


What about the red pill? Reality, what a rush!

You are forever the punctuation and grammar-anal-expert. You just can't help it, can you?

I am completely out of control, Janet, Dammit!...
I may need to score some blue ones from eeek

So, Therrin do you reply to every email you get? Do you get replies to every email you write to someone? I didn't think so. Most of the people on here are just killing time. They aren't really interested in anything because they don't know what they want themselves. Have you read some of the woman's profiles on here? I mean how can you tell me that you read their profile after you read their email and then comment on what they said, or what you liked about their profile, or that you're interested in talking to them every time someone writes you? You can't possibly be interested in talking to everyone that has written to you.

I admit that being a guy on this site has relatively little redeeming qualities. The women get bombarded with dumb ass emails from guys that don't match anything they are looking for and by the time they get finished reading all these cheesy ass come-ons they are bored to death or in a foul mood and don't want to deal with writing anyone back. Here's the thing. Pick a profile or three that you like and write to those women. Maybe they reply, maybe not, that's just life. I seriously doubt that any woman that is going to take the time to email you is going to be someone that you'll fall for anyway so don't get all caught up in the fact that they choose not to reply.

I can bet that you've written to someone who has replied and then realized to yourself, "oh shit, this woman isn't what I thought!" I'm sure you've gone out with women that you thought were the greatest thing since sliced bread and by the end of the night you couldn't wait to go home and go to bed because you were bored to death with her talking about herself or primping her hair, or applying foundation or whatever.

My point is simple. People write emails, most of the time, on a whim. Are these emails you're receiving the kind that contains some substantial use of the English language? Are they the kind I usually get; one sentence crap about a picture that‘s posted? Are they from someone you'd actually want to date anyway? If not then who the f*** cares id they reply or not? Do yourself a favor and if you find yourself not interested, don’t reply in the first place. It’ll give you a great feeling of self-control and direction in your life. You might even feel like you understand better how the women can do it. I doubt we will ever understand that, being men and having testosterone and a****has that effect on us. We’re not vindictive by nature and we’re not cunning and malicious. However, give it a try and give yourself the opportunity to forget that not everyone is a sweet, caring, loving individual who only writes to someone that they are truly interested in getting to know every time they hit the send button. I digress, my advice would be this: don’t sweat it. Maybe one of the people you write to or that writes to you will become something more, something worth caring about. Maybe not. There’s always the produce isle at the grocery store. It's not just "girls on here." Not all of them are going to be any one way. Some will surprise you.

sddude- You are not broken!!! I would love to find the neighbors flowers in my bathroom. - If they weren't dead that is.

- Personally, I would rather have one email from a man that is nice, than 50 from someone that said " I am in your city, it is late and I am lonely, feel like having sex". Yeah- it got deleted and he was not even that respectful in how he said it.

UUUGGGG.

Ahh, Ms. Garcia, you have hit the nail smack dab in the middle of the head!

It's the thought that counts. A guy that takes the time to look at our profile and make a comment on it, tells us that you are not just window shopping. You want more than just the outside.

You know, on my profile, I'm very specific in what I want and don't want. And I get e-mails or im's from guys that say, oh I read your profile and you seem nice, here's my number, call me. Yet if they had actually read my profile, they would know that I don't want that.

I always read a man's profile before I e-mail them, even if it is just to say hello, I like your profile. Usually, if I write to a man, it's only to say that they seem like a great guy and I hope they are getting what they are looking for. Most of them write back but some don't. However, I'm not writing them to get a response!

What kills me is the guys that e-mail or im that haven't even looked at my profile and claim that they like my profile and that I seem nice. Bleh!

Yes! You can tell when they haven't by the generic "nothingness" of their email content.

Send them back a "I'm really glad you don't mind I am unemployed with 4 kids and no car... some people are so judgemental!"

You know, I just had a guy, I think two days ago, im me. He said that he checked my profile and I seemed sweet. I said to him, what about my profile was sweet? And he couldn't answer. THEN he says to me that, and I'm quoting, "I'm not really one for fishing but you are definitely one I'd like to catch!"

I was thinking that he's got to be kidding me! Then, he offered me his phone number and I said, no thanks, I'm not into the phone much. Which I'm not except for the exceptional few. He INSISTED on giving it to me even though I told him I wouldn't ever call him. Jeeze...so frustrating.

However, if he had looked at my profile to begin with, he would have known that I'm not into the phone. Grrrrrrr

No you email back and forth, talk in instant messages via whichever service you use, use the phone and then meet face to face... people who want to email back and forth forever don't really want to meet the person they are talking to in person.

have to admit, there seems to be way more men than women here on POF. I know myself, I have a hard time responding to them all, but I try. Just keep it interesting, not the norm (hey baby wanna?) and you should start to see responses...

What you are experiancing my fellow male is just another female mystery no one can understand about the female, not even a female. Another example of this kind of odd behavior is some females when treated kindly by a male will treat the male poorly and when treated poorly by that same male will treat the male nice, go figure that one out.

Are you implying that women have better things to do besides communicating online with potential relationshippers?

I think that stems from women's proclivity for reverse psychology. Sometimes they probably just get confused on how to apply appropriately.

I agree with you 110%. Its crazy. Why does anyone bother to write and continue to write if they are not on here to "date " and get to know people which is the whole point !

You may have missed the thread about how we tend to learn more about people from what they write in the forums than in their profiles.

I don't get it, either. I was having a dialogue with one person, we were emailing back and forth. Her last email was what kind of music I like. I described different types of music, and why I liked them. I didn't say I hated any music, I just kind of wrote about what music is, for me.

She hasn't written me since. I was thinking, maybe she's writing a few guys, and I just didn't do it, for her.

^^ I agree to write her again. I don't answer every back and forth email. Sometimes there is no compelling reason to do so. It's not about taking turns. If you're wanting to communicate, do so.

I'll tell u what the problem is I seem to have the same issues and I don't think I'm a bad looking guy. I think woman at least in my age range think guys all owe them something and if you don't have a handout for them they want nothing to do with u. Most of the time it's the hottest one's who's picks are usually stolen from a mag the other answer whould have to be most are fake profiles theres probably a pic of a hot chick but really it's a fat old man using that fake profile to sell something good luck bro.

Yes your profile is really straightforward. He must be one of those blokes who employs a cadre of chimps to generate a sequence of ingenius pick-up and deliver lines. These lines, no doubt, have been succesfully employed in trial tests on lemurs. So let us praise a bold step forward in interspecies communication. A shame it does nothing for communication between the sexes. Maybe we would be better off relocating them to Uranus and Neptune.

i just think people in general are bizarre, everyones got they're day to day issues and finding time to involve yourself with others just creates issues in itself... as for me, i like to express myself through poetry, while saying alot about myself and perspectives through creative writing... i think theres also alot that i dont show in my profile, like how i've got an absurdly hillarious sense of humor or how i'm a bit of a nerd incognito. But I do know that I'm also an acquired taste, and that not what all women would conscider "theyre cup of tea" or whatever... but I dont take away from what "I" know of myself, and the people who are interested; well we can have good times good times...
