| I figured out the girls on POF
Posted: 6/8/2007 2:14:53 AM | Totally agree with the Author
There are alot of woman on here that are not much really. I mean if they were to walk into a bar most men wouldnt look twice at them.
But because they are on POF they suddenly get allot of attention ( a whole lot more then what they would normally ) and so start to get an inflated opinon about how attractive they are. They start thinking they are all that, but infact they are very average in the looks dept.
Consequently if you are reasonably good looking dude, you are better off finding a woman nomally then using the online thing, as you will get rejected by woman really that are by normal standards well below you in the looks dept.
The online thing is good for practise or if you are going through a bit of a slow patch.
But I think for a good looking or reasonable looking guy you can do alot better and meet alot more forthcoming and attractive woman by normal means.
Just my opinion. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 8:44:13 AM | | The secret? Be yourself. My profile is an exact reflection of my personality. Don't put up just any old BS, and don't throw around a lot of BS in your emails, and you'll do awesome. And this works even here in the OC, one of the most unforgiving, competitive markets anywhere. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 8:59:44 AM | | ^^I agree with you. And also being in the OC, I realize that being genuine is a quality that can never be out-done... very rare and attractive in a world where so many seem to be trying to be something they are not. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 9:11:31 AM | | The most attractive of BOTH sexes are more picky and selective, thats just the way it is and its something I learned in grade school. The real problem is the unusually high expectations some people have and the idea that you can learn enough about a person to simply dismiss and or ignore them just by viewing their profile/pictures. When i'm checking out the profiles I see some very attractive women...I take the time to read their profiles, and start thinking about the message i'll send them... then I notice that they are on like 200+ peoples fav list. To me that is a dead giveaway of how serious she is or in this case isnt - its sometime written right in many of their profiles "waiting for someone to knock my socks off!" , "waiting for someone to sweep me off my feet", or "waiting for mr right"..."give me a reason to get off POF". It's a fantasy idea , a childhood dream of a white knight that will come and rescue them from their boring lives. The best thing to do is to read the profile...and make your choices on who you contact based on what you read and what they say - rather than the pictures alone....I wish the rest of you guys would stop adding every attractive woman to your fav list, have some self respect..and stop appearing so desperate ...and stop the woman bashing. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 9:17:20 AM | I am concerned about women in general, because i have found that women seem to want to be entertained,exited stimulated instead of just having a wonderful time with a truly nice guy.
More and more i believe that women are wanting someone out of a movie like a james bond type or mensa filled knowledge mind.
The intellect and intelligence will fade with age along with the body and the only thing that will always be there and will never go away are kindness,and a truly genuine good heart in a person.
I truly believe that if women in general would follow a good hearted guy and not worry about the rest, then women would be suprized and amazed about how there needs would not only be met but surpassed into eternal happiness, and that guys would feel the same way too. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 9:23:58 AM | Women don't have to be attractive to get messages on dating sites, then they think they are all that and more. Some of them meet guys for a couple of dates then dump the guy before he dumps them to feel even better. They don't even have to ever meet men, just play their games online.
I agree with message 506. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 9:32:01 AM | Smiles4bothOFus,
I have to comment on what you said about intellect and intelligence fading with age. No way does that have to be, unless disease of some sort takes over and causes damage that can't be repaired. The mind is a marvelous thing and if you exercise it and continue to learn new things, it will continue to serve you well. the are finding that brain cells do repair themselves now and the brain can grow new ones. The mind can reroute and make new circuits. The mind should become sharper and you should become more knowledgeable as you age, not the reverse if you are doing things correctly. The body does grow old and wears out, granted, but don't give up on it too soon. Many accomplish fabulous things in their old age, compared to their youth.
I do get your point though. We center way too much on the outside, and not enough on the inside of a person. Usually, good personality qualities do not fade, but intensify. So, those are the things one really should look for in someone they plan on spending the rest of their lives with. Other things such as money, health, and looks, can't be quaranteed to continue on. Some age well, some do well finanacially, some are healthy, but any of those things can change literally overnight. Who is it that will stand by your side then? As the old marriage vows state, "For better or worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and health." Those who started those vows, had a point that one shouldn't ignore in choosing a mate for life.
Wishing you, and all here, the best of luck in all you do, and happy fishing! | |

Try this......
Sit on the floor in the crossed leg position. raise your hands up in front of your chest, placing them in the prayer position. Now repeat after me: Ohhhhhhwwwwwwwwaaa....
ta......gooooooooo....siiiiiiiiii.......ammmmmmmm. Say it 5 times, each time speeding up your chant.
Now don't you feel better realizing that no one can claim they have figured all women on this site out......and why would you want to? | |

Don’t they know that all sweeping generalisations are total hogwash and are only made by complete idiots……?! | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 2:42:33 PM | | its true. i mean most girls are not going to admit to it but we are picky. i mean if 20 guys were to message us, there is no way in hell we are going to spend that much time responding to them all. so we pick the best looking few and hope to god they arnt total asses. | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 3:27:42 PM | LOL macnews...
Maybe I'm just too positive, but this made me laugh...even though I'm a woman, I too don't get responses to all of my mail that I send. My stats are better though, I think that my response would be 1/2 
I think you just need to "keep the faith" and not take it so personally, as you seem to, which is the only reason I can think of as to why you sound so bitter about this  | |

Actually, rosso, I was wondering... if the OP has it "all figured out", I'm curious as to why its now 2-1/2 months after his first post, and he's still up as "single"...
I mean, if he has it "all figured out", then he should have no problem finding "her" on here, right?
Ah, to be 19 again and have "all the answers"... instead of 42 and knowing that I have very few, and remembering that at 19 I thought I had "all the answers" too!

Posted: 7/4/2007 3:34:12 PM | | don't overanalyze the situation...personally I try to reply with at least a "thank you for the interest..but"..and for the most part, its either because of the distance, or something else in the profile that doesn't do it for me. Looks are secondary so if I'm not interested, its due to something in their profile. The problem I find is even when you're trying to be respectful and reply, most men take that as as ok..Now I"m getting somewhere and continure to email you...so I've basically started to say thank you for the email and will give the actual reason for my reason to say no thank you....at least its honest and hopefully the others on here are just as honest about it | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 3:57:51 PM | | I have a female friend on here, and she is soooooo pretty and gorgeous, that she gets about 400 emails a week (no kidding). She also works full time, brings up her son, runs a home, and goes to evening college twice a week. The reason she doesn't reply to everyone, is very simple, she doesn't have time. Nothing more and nothing less. Your theory is sooooo, well, dare I say it? A tad bitter? ;-) | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 4:04:19 PM | forums1: I know exactly what you mean! ... When I was 19 I thought I had all the answers.....
At 47 I now realise that was only because I hadn't understood the questions....
Age has brought wisdom and a degree of self-knowledge….. However this is something of a double edged sword as it would seem an amalgam of pseudo-intellectuality and arcane humour equates to having a ‘datability quotient’ on a par with Attila the Hun’s less congenial brother… | |

Posted: 7/4/2007 4:16:36 PM | | Ok this is my first post on POF and if its a repost on this subject im sorry but there was no way i was going through 21 pages to state my opinion,but im kinda hoping it is a repost cause that would mean in not the only person who gets this.The way i see it is if you see someone in a bar that your attracted to its based just on that attraction,and from my experience it usually never goes that far because in time you find out that you and that person have little in common other than attraction.It seems to me women are getting sick of meeting people that way and when they come to a place like this they get to see what the guy is all about,what he likes to do in his spare time,what his interests are and god forbid what he does for a living[like it or not it is important to alot of women],Is he some what smart or is he just here to get laid.Lets face it guys if all a girl want is to get laid they usually don`t have to look to far and if thats what they are here for take your chances and message her ,if she does`nt message you back mabye she just thinks your ugly lol.To make a girl wanna try out online dating trust me its not cause they can`t get any,chances are they just want to meet someone that they have something in common with and at the same time are also attracted too. | |

I babble on with *almost* anyone who emails me.....in fact outta of the 20 who did this only two received no reply....but only because I had too many others first in line to at least *talk to* and more or less tell them *did you read my profile*....so they could see they made an honest mistake in emailing me in the first place....the two I forgot to get in touch with was simply bacause theirs was pushed back on another page by then....and I honestly forgot.
But anyways....what are you complaining about.....I finally got brave enough to give out my number to two guys only.....and I havent heard from the one guy since....go figure.....maybe its one of those....how many numbers can I get thingys.....or not.....otherwise the second guy who got my number.....well, I think I must have scared the heck outta him or something cause he NEVER called....gheez.....didnt know I was that scary
Ok....new rule.....nobodys gettin MY number again....heheheh....kidding.....but I'll be MORE picky this next time......see LOoKie what you *two* guys have done to me :(
.....runs away crying....BOOOoOOoooOo HOOoOOoOooOoeeeeyyy

Posted: 7/5/2007 5:51:57 AM | Most people on here are just confused about what they want. I am disgusted just browsing 95% of the profiles here for reasons I wont get into. As far as questioning the motives of most peoples presence here, it is to diverse and simply not worth perusing the answers.
Tangent time:
Oh hey, look a button, "Who loves me". That's just the dumbest thing to call it. Who viewed me? that's a stupid ass thing to have. yada yada. Goto myspace, you can actually find people of similar interests. Most people here are damaged goods. Get over it.
My favorites:
I like to go out sometimes and other times stay in.
----------lmfao, i have a hard time not doing this.
Not looking for games.
----------STFU.
Can you handle me?
----------No
