Posted: 4/17/2007 7:46:32 PM | Hi tulip s,
I don't normally comment on forums, however, I wanted to offer my support to you. I think you would do better meeting someone at a local singles dance or mutual friends. I understand about your parents not being able to pay for your education, my Mom was a single Mom too since my Dad died when I was 4. She managed though to put my older brother through University and she is helping me.
I think you have to re-evaluate your priorities. Rather than being negative about the people you are meeting, try to find a positive. You basically attract people who are very similar to you. That is based on the Law of Attraction and not a personal attack.
When I couldn't afford to school, I just decided to read alot about all different subjects. Sometimes, I tended to have a dictionary close at hand but it helped me.
I think Education is the best thing in life and it gives you freedom to choose who you want to spend your life with.
I wish you luck and hopefully you found some insight into what I said. Always here to chat. | |

Posted: 4/17/2007 7:54:03 PM | Sorry me again..have one last comment...I have met men on POF that don't spell well at all...in fact, it makes me cringe sometimes because I spell quite well. Although those men are the dearest, sweetest men. It's like learning to read a doctor's perscription sometimes :-).
Change your attitude, tulip and it will change your life. Take care, | |

Posted: 4/17/2007 7:58:13 PM | The public education system in the UK is more than capable of producing adults who can read, write and spell. The use of gimmicky phonetic / text spelling is silly.
NewsFlash 1: The UK is not a Third World Country!
NewsFlash 2: Contrary to common belief, many parents in North America do NOT shell out coin for their kiddies higher education costs. We were expected to find money to pay our own way.
Countess: You're going to have to work on your social skills at POF socials. If you show up and simply sit, nobody is going to come up and ask you to dance. You need to mingle and meet people. Its a two-way street - there are men who would be perfectly happy to meet you, but they too are probably shy at social gatherings.
To put your nose in the air and declare that the problem is THEIRS and not yours, will not solve your problem, Ma'am. It will only reinforce faulty thinking that will keep you from meeting others. Same holds true for writing to others here. Don't wait for Prince Charming to amble by - break the mold, take a bold step and contact a few men here. You may be pleasantly surprised at their response - many would be very pleased to be contacted. | |

when it come to meeting men Im terribly shy .. not the outgoing type .. since I was raised that a lady waits for the gentleman to ask HER out, or to CALL her first, to ask HER to dance ... so whats wrong with being old fashioned .... I was taught that girls who made the first move were considered "loose" and it just wasnt proper.
so sue me .... next time I go to POF mixer I'll be sure to take my caveman club and beat the guys over the head to dance with me ... alrighty .. Im sure Im gonna make lots of friends and get lotsa dates that way.
Who said you need to beat them over the head? A simple "would you like to dance" would work quite well. Like someone else said, men can be quite shy too, and if you're still thinking in traditional terms, it might explain why you're having no luck. This is the Internet, and by any means certainly isn't the traditional way of meeting people. You wouldn't hesitate to message a person on POF, so why not start a conversation in real life? Take a bold step forward, and you might have a lot more luck. | |

Posted: 4/17/2007 9:19:49 PM | It seems to me that there is alot of degrading going here , it's easy to sit at your keyboard and trash someone isn't it? However the true test of substance in a person to show what and who they are is how they treat others , esp. those less fortunate that can't spell.
Really people this isn't brain surgery, whatever happened to "TREAT PEOPLE AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED". It is the person that counts not their spelling , their looks, or whatever aspect you choose to target. These are real people with real feelings, that deserve at least a little compassion, however some of us have forgotten what it means or never knew the meaning in the first place.
She was not asking for you to agree with her point of view nor should you be derogatory towards her or anyone cause they don't agree with yours. That is what makes us human, all be it some not so nice. It is easy to judge someone without getting to know them however, its your loss as the person could be a good friend and you have lost your chance and in the process made someone feel bad about theirselves who they are and targeted their self- esteem it takes a real coward and bullie to do such things.
what a baby you are. Just cause you didn't get what you want. Go ahead stomp your feet if it makes you feel better. This is a prime example really people are we in grade school where we have to degrade and make fun of others, does it make you feel more of a person to look down on someone for expressing how they feel? would you want someone to treat you that way for expressing how you feel? I would hope not however after reading this thread I am inclined to think otherwise.
Let me ask you this would you be brave enough to say something like that to a persons face? chances are no and if you are, then your not worth knowing. As I have said in my profile I would rather you hate me for who I am than love me [like] me for who I am not, its all baout the person, not what they have , or can do, ........... I am sure alot of this falls on deaf ears as there are those whom wnat everything, want to treat people as they wish and give nothing.
Some of you all need to learn the distance between right and wrong not all as I don't paint all with the same brush of a few as some people do.
Just remember people there are real people with real feelings that count on the other end , just because technology has enabled us to communicate with others more easily doesn't give us prima-facia to be bullies, and just awful to other people.
one of my fav. speeches was made by a US president I will not write the entire speech here however the essence is : you will know , no victory or defeat if your not in the ring. In plain simple words people put themselves out there and thee amy be defeats however what some propose is they not try at all.
The sign of true intellect is not being able to show people how smart you are or think you are, however to blend with those in the enviroment which you occupy. In other words there is no reason to attempt to make someone feel bad about themselves because of something that is within their genetic makeup you don't like, thus comes the saying "open up your mouth and stick your foot in".
yes I will always stand up for what is right and I will always stand up for those whom are being picked on.
cheers | |

you dont have to pay to send your children to school in canada . maybe you are in the states but even there you dont have to pay to send your kids to public schools.
Not only that.. in the states if a child doesn't go to school regularly the DSS people would be at your door in a flash..
maybe girl is from another country...

maybe girl is

Posted: 4/18/2007 8:14:10 AM | | I agree, I think she just wants attention! She sure did get it. Need to stop feeling so sorry for yourself! You make yourself sound really pathetic! No wonder you never had any luck on here. No guy wants to talk to someone who ****es all the time. Get some confidence in yourself, they only way to get anything out of your life is to stand up and take charge of it. As for all the ones on the forum that had comments about people being mean, well, maybe if she wasn't having such a pity party for herself, she might not have gotten such negative feedback. | |

Gee Tulip, thats quite the performance every thing but a chorus of
" you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille"
I'm not sure whats got your Sunday school nose bent out of shape, but if you look in the mirror and point , see where the most of the fingers are pointing?
can you do that hun? I Love when people blame the world for their problems and insecurities..............hit me with a double shot
not to sound rude, but ever thought of buying hooked on phonics? I'm sure they sell them cheap at the local Walmart store? no. You're so negative I could put you in a dark room and develop pictures . | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 9:15:00 AM | I believe a lot of what she typed was phonetic...wasn’t it?
Why is it that when someone is in pain some posters whine about spelling and grammar? Seems like so many cheap shots.
"wot" also seems like a British slang thingy. | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 10:50:56 AM | I personally would not date anyone who couldn't write a legible profile. I have been on 8 other dating sites and this is the one I like the best. I've cancelled all the rest. It is slow at first but if you put in the effort and email others not waiting to just be contacted than slowly responses will come in. I've had good luck here. Most of the people on here are genuine. If you don't want to be contacted for sex block out the people looking for intimate encounters. | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 11:57:11 AM | countess79................. Girlfriend......You are a tough cookie, but I bet a sweet one deep down inside..........Listen..............
I have a very simple profile now for Im not looking at this time, Im taking a break from this site, for Im on another site and Im dating as if there is no tomorrow. Im having fun. That is the idea, right?
When I was "really" present on this site, with picture(s) I had a nice short written profile. I did not bash anyone, it shows a negativity and most likely you will scare Men off with that kind of language. I talked about my interests and what I was looking for, The 3 C's. I had so many hits and dates I can not even count and Im not bragging, please believe me for Im not all that. Some of the hits were useless. Men make mistakes by wearing Hats, Shades, full beard and they think that is appealling, NOT, but what are you going to do ....... nothing. Just be selective, patient and have fun. Weed out the bad Apples. This I learned over a period of time. Look at some of the other female profiles and see how they did it. I wish I could lead you to mine but I deleted it about a month ago and I do not want to guide anyone to my other site thru the Forums.........The one that is on POF is very lame, but would you believe I still get emails .........Go figure! Men! 
Don't give up, just improve your profile and post newer pictures.
Good Luck.......Your Friend GN  | |

Posted: 4/18/2007 12:22:06 PM | I agree 100%.
If she is 'real' or a 'fake', I dunno but wouldnt look so good if the whole time you people have been flaming a 'fake' person eh?
If she/he is a fake, then more than likely they achieved thier goal, she/he had the ability to create some turmoil and put the spotlight on some of the real haters on here.
If she/he is real, then they more than likely they will post how they were treated when they stated they were leaving, on thier blog, myspace, emails to friends, word of mouth etc etc.. SO all the negative comments you certian few posted seems to me like bad publicity for PlentyofFish in the long run.
I believe a simple..
"Tulip, we are sorry your experiance on POF wasn't right for you, we hope you have better luck elsewhere."
^much shorter but not a hatred filled rant, that is accomplishing nothing.
Just a opinion, everyone put your guns away im not hostile.  | |
