Posted: 7/22/2007 3:41:01 PM | LOL all of you are right AND wrong.
I have decided to take it all as a game, or like hunting if you will.
Lets play sneek up on the prey and then get mad when it spooks and runs off. Come on guys get a life.
Ladies the game I see there is lets post our ideal, nothing wrong so far, but then lets not consider anything below a 99.99 match. Now thats un-realistic don't you think.
We are all different, that's what makes us who and what we are. The are of compromise really needs to be practiced here.
Oh and if you look at my profile expect a good laugh, I really don't take this site seriously.
Life is short, Love fills the void and makes it enjoyable for BOTH involved. Set your sights high but don't throw away a 1 pound trout hopping to catch a trophy 10 pounder. Aint gonna happen except in your mind.
Luck to all in your quest. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 4:54:32 PM | | Well I joined with my girlfriends for something fun to do. I meet a guy at the bar and he gave me his number. I called him the next week and we talk and got along great. He told me about this site, which I had never heard of and I did. I found it funny and told my girlfriends. We thought let's join for the fun of it and see what happens. We have met a FEW nice people but mostly alot of weirdos. We all are closing our accounts because this seems to be a perves wet dream site more then anything else. Myself and my girlfriends have no trouble finding guys in the "real world" and probably have higher stats then on this site. But, I can see how your reasoning could work out. Remember alot of the people that come here are from broken marriages and failed relationship so are probably alittle dissfunctional to say the least or they are not too high in self esteem. The attention they desire could maybe help them but if only for a short while. Again, realism comes into affect and some point. | |

There's always the chance to meet women from Colombia, Russia, and the Philippines, to name a few countries. It's always a consoling thought to know a woman would marry you so she can have a chance at a better life in a First World country. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 11:26:33 PM | | Really? I thought I was on POF because I moved to a new city recently and am looking to meet people for hanging out. My profession does not allow me access with the general public and I've found that drunk people in bars are not usually good conversation. But thanks for clearing things up for me. Now that I know that I'm an attention starved ****, I feel very enlightened and at peace with myself. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 3:58:35 PM | My name is also Janet. haha. Ya, I must admit I'm pretty sound. I learned alot from my marriage and the councilling classes to try to save the marriage, but in the end it did fail. He choose alcohol over his family and I am not willing to live a life like that. My girls and I are worth alot more then that. This is a great avenue for conversation and bouncing ideas but as for a dating site. No thanks, alot of weirdos up here who get obsessive after only emailing or im chatting a few times. You should see what happens if you do have 2 dates with them. They are talking about marriage and retirment already! No thanks! Those guys are just lonely and want to be taken cared of or feel as if they are loved. That is not a real sprititual loving relationship and that is what I am looking for.
Good luck to you also Janet. I checked your profile, You look and sound very similiar. Have fun and respond if you like. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 10:00:22 PM | | Is this what society has come to? Rating people on a numerical value by their looks, an if they arent a nine, or eight, they are automatically tossed away into the unattractive category and never given a chance? Seems so.... | |

Posted: 7/27/2007 11:16:38 AM | | Yep i agree 100% with your statement,you are correct. I have been on my own for six years now and I have dated former NFL cheerleaders, models, playboy bunnies,a High School teacher with a Master's 15 degree,and stay at home Moms. I checked out 4 dating sites you would be surprised how many girls i see from the previous site. They are all like little kiddie girls in a candy store looking for their next piece of sugar. I have constructed my profile in such a manner as to screen out the player-etts and and easy ones. I love it ... it works well for me only the wholesome down to earth gals contact me and all is going well!! | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 12:03:37 PM | well i think it happens to both sexes, to many to pick from, let's get picky, which everyone has a right to choice ,but some start talking to you then maybe you never hear from them at all.And some want to talk to all, I do not know,I am here for the forums,and if i meet someone ok, everyone is so into themselves,I do not like to say this but i have to whatever. Everyone have a wonderful day and enjoy life , there is someone for everybody.the problem here is that it is all free so more to play with | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 12:24:57 PM | ...and I've figured out how the men work.......they can't get a date and blame everyone but themselves, it's easier than admitting that maybe they're not as attractive as they think they are.
********************************************************
Yep, I agree. Its always easyer to blame someone else. One of the hardest things to do in life is look in the mirror and really see whats there. That is unfortunately something many people cant do (men and woman). I blame the media for all my problems. Way easyer than thinking I might be lacking in some way. | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 1:10:14 PM | | Its true, they are almost as bad in real life. Some women you say hello to give you a look like your from another planet and please go away you weirdo vibe. My question is who being human in this situation. I think it stinks - personally! | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 2:09:12 PM | My goodness, macnews, it's like an Einsteinian epiphany.
Here's me thinking the answer was '42'.
For me the answer is more philosophical. It's a balancing act between 'Power' and 'Purpose'.
If a partner, male or female, is too concerned about Power than Purpose you're in the doodoo.
If a partner is concerned only about Purpose they lose their Power as they will live in Hopeland while the partner concerned about Power stomps all over them.
We can make the equation quadratic by including Rights and Responsibilities.
If a partner refuses to take Responsibilities whilst exercises overbearing Rights, well, you've got misery for all.
So it's Purpose+/- Power x Rights+-Responsibilities = 20/4=5 so you get 5 responses per 20 chicks emailed.
Oh sh*t.
I suspect someone either likes you or they don't and you either like them or you don't and it's an overall emotional affect really.
I don't think the thinking mind calculating away plays that much part in it. It might be chemistry but it ain't maths. | |

Yup, you've hit the nail on the head dude..."us" women have nothing better to do but spend day and night on this site waiting anxiously for an abundance of emails from strange men to boost our confidence.. | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 10:39:37 AM | I've not read all the responses in this thread so I may be repeating someone. I've thought about whether dating sites are any different than the real world. I think that if you're going to meet someone you will - wherever. One thing on dating sites is that it's easier to be brave. I'm sure guys message women who they'd never have the courage to approach in real life. I'm actually quite shy, though noone who knows me would agree with that because I'm very good at bluffing. But if I like a guy I am one of those women who actually avoids them. It's about not wanting to risk rejection.
But back to the topic of replying to messages - how easy do you think it is to send the 'thanks but no thanks' message to a guy who from their profile looks like you will have nothing in common with them, or they are 20 years older than you, or they live 200 miles away? It's much easier to not reply. I was brought up to be polite and I always reply and just try not to give any further encouragement.
The other thing that seems to be mentioned a bit in here is the rating of photos - I didn't even realise that option was there so was oblivious to the fact that people had been rating my photo. I was admittedly pleased when a few people had given me very complimentary scores, though fairly bemused as I wouldn't class myself as a 10 on looks and consider my personality to be my strong point.
Even if some women are here to get their egos stroked, and plenty of men the same - so what? | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 5:51:25 PM | massalina2 thank you so much I finally figured out why I'm single....because I'm so ugly  & I thought it was because I was not rich or famous. Now I know what I have to do only e-mail women that are 250 lb + then hopefully I'll get a date fall in love & get married. | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 6:11:39 PM | I sort of agree with macnews. I also think that the women that say they want a good honest man will drop him if a good looking stud makes contact with her. The good honest then takes a back seat.
My Opinion !! | |
