Posted: 8/1/2007 10:52:20 PM | Well after watching this for a bit I thought I would say my 2 cents. Everyone uses their 2 roses for different reasons and I respect them for whatever method they choose. To each their own.
Now my thoughts. Just because a person doesn't have any roses. It wouldn't stop me from making initial contact with the person if I was interested because you don't know why that person sent them in the first place right. To tell you the truth I dont pay attention either to how many roses a guy has. If I like the pics and the profile sometimes I will e-mail them. I just sent my first rose but I sent it to a guy that I have been talking to for awhile letting him know that maybe sometime he could be mine. Just my thoughts.
Have a great one. | |

Posted: 8/23/2007 11:50:09 AM | | I hope peopel would, although I can understand why it would put them off, because I have accidentally sent both of mine! the first happened when I was attaching pics to an email, i guess I checked the wrong box. The second was just yesterday, and I have no clue how that one got sent! I thought when I got the reply he had sent ME one, but when I read his message i realized it said I had sent it to him. I was horrified. Doesn't really matter, he's a great guy, but i didn't exactly mean to take it that far, haven't even met him yet. Anyone else this stupid? It hilarious, because not only did I do it once, I did it twice. But now I talked to a guy that I am really interested in and hope to meet, and wondering if the fact that I'm at '0' will will put him off. I guess in the end if he likes me, how many stupid roses I have won't make a bit of difference. Isn't it funny how dating can reduce you to such a high school mentality. I second guess EVERYTHING, and that is so not me. | |

good point, when one can only try to explain their life in a couple of paragraphs we all tend to "second guess" and "assume"...
never could understand the rose thing anyways, if your interested in a person you can tell them in an email I would think.
If they accidentally sent their roses (such as your case) people “presume” things..but if one thinks about that action “presume” well generally the same person will judge things based “assumptions”…
Just some thoughts.. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 1:16:07 AM | | Why not? Just because they don't have any roses, doesn't necessarily make them a terrible person. Roses are just an online greeting. It's not like they mean anything in the grand scheme of things. | |

Posted: 10/28/2007 8:53:00 PM | I will admit I looked at a profile just today. I was really interested but when I saw he had only one rose I right away had doubts and assumed he must already be interested in someone else. So I backed off from the thought of actually messaging him. I know I should just message him anyway as it is the only way to find out for sure.

Posted: 11/5/2007 9:51:28 PM | | Initially my thoughts would be no roses means they must be interested and unless the profile really interested me alot I would probably not contact that person - I have looked to see how many roses where there in the past. Having used up my quota of roses lately it will be interesting to see if I put my profile back up whether I get any contacts. Nothing like proof in pudding eh? | |

Posted: 11/9/2007 1:41:38 PM | The fact that they have no roses left isn't nearly as important as how they list their relationship status or what they say in their profile. Even more important is what they post, if they frequent the Forums. The forums speak volumes about the real person behind the "catchy profile".
I received a rose once.. from someone that I had received a message from the day before and had only chatted briefly with. Apparently he was dating at least 5 different women from this site.. I only found that out after I became Ms. Tuesday evening (for a very brief period.) The roses were his attention getter.. sort of a hey please notice me ..
In my opinion, virtual roses among strangers are like Valentine's Day cards in Grade School. Nice but not the be all and end all of life as we know it. The popular crowd send and receive more.. big whoop. 
Roses or no roses, people are flaky or people are sincere.
You never really know until a face to face meeting and sometimes not even then. Eye contact and body language say more than any virtual rose could.
Judge them by something more concrete than cyber roses.. or the lack of.

Posted: 1/1/2008 6:00:01 AM | | Well months ago when I had joined, I thought it was so nice of creater of Plenty of fish (Marcus) I sent him a rose to say thanks, pretty plain and simple. I really never gave it much thought until now. So many things can happen to accidentally send things, this I do know as I almost sent a drunk critter and I don't even drink, its just easy to do. I will do some thinking and careful finger placement. But really folks til they are a dozen real roses or cala lilies, I really don't give it much thought. I think, I'll think about it. People can seem like the means to an end, with the way they write. I will reserve my judgement, they simply are pixels. | |

Posted: 2/6/2008 11:28:20 AM | I treat the roses as E-flowes to be given on Valentine's day to my 2 personal favorite ladies whom I wish to have a relationship with.
IF no response from them or the e-mail containing the rose is unread then after a period of mourning I go back to reviewing profiles and stick with those gifts I can redeem with points to ladies I contact to see IF she might be interested in opening up a dialog (or not).
After a few e-mail exchanges I'll start redeeming the points, but until such time as someone else MIGHT strike my fancy to send a rose to the roses are going to just stay in my profile going to waste.
As for contacting someone with 0 roses, sorry the profile is what I make my judgement on to either contact that person or move on. I really dont care IF she has 0,1 or 2 roses in her profile. | |

Posted: 2/8/2008 11:36:13 AM | I use to make assumptions when I seen o roses but not any more.
One night I was typing like a "speed demon" on here and not only did I send one rose but shortly thereafter accidentally sent the last rose to a platonic friend (female) I met through POF. I felt pretty silly, but it taught me to stop jumping to conclusions about other profiles I see with 0 roses.
Just an opinion, but if someone's profile catches your interest and you notice they have 0 roses left, don't be too quick to jump to the wrong conclusion! | |

Posted: 2/20/2008 1:05:28 PM | I would think that if sum1 with 0 roses contacted me, he's playing a few gals... am I assuming wrong here?
yes, i always contact guys with 2 roses... 1 or 0 rose means they are interested in sum1 already
for a fact, i have my 2 roses, does it mean that I'm stingy  | |

Failing that give it a try at least.

Posted: 6/27/2008 11:21:20 AM | Roses have significance only if one attaches significance to them.
Safest bet - never give out a rose.
I see the roses as the next step after "virtual pen pal" and the first meet. This is not a candy store. I concentrate on one woman at a time. My favorite received both of my roses within the past 2 weeks. | |
