I had a profile on a dating site and saw POF mentioned in a guys profile. I took a peek and liked what I saw so joined in January of this year. I've made some great friends both male and female , had a couple of dates and just love the forums. I'm hooked and not leaving so you're stuck with me

hoping against hope to find a few dates - for some company - and thought the title plenty of fish was funny - well the forums are good - not had a lot of luck with the dating side yet - but if you swim in the sea long enough i suppose you will end up " stinking of fish "

sleight in klein are you absolutely sure about that, as in this site has done absolutely nothing for you ?


As a dating site no it hasn't really very few local people will respond to my messages and the closest female friend I have on her lives about 40 miles away.

I joined last year after a friend met someone lovely one here .... Left for a while and now been back again just under a week.

I'd love to think I could meet my special someone on here, but more than anything I love to chat and laugh with all sorts of people :)

I only joined to look at the boob pics in the top 500 hot list but saw the
uk forum one night and thought everyone seemed very friendly and it gives
me the opportunity to post under willow which is nice as she has a lovely legs.

How?
I joined on the recommendation of a Canadian friend of mine ( over a year ago!) who had met her partner on here.
I started using the Forums a few months after I joined. Now I'm an addict.

Why?
I joined because I had been alone for too long. It was too long a year ago. It's even worse now.

Because it was free!!

I was on a few dating sites without success and you get coerced into joining them. The pickings are rather slim in reality so decided why pay for it, might as well try a free site and see how it goes. Still no joy, but the forums are great fun!

A friend of mine has been on here about a year or so and she said it was the best dating/friends site she'd ever been on. Thought I'd give it a go. I've not been on here long so haven't had any dates yet but I have made some new online friends which is brilliant. I don't get out of Bedford much so it's nice to chat to people further afield as well as locally.

I actually found it...by finding cookies & catching out an ex...

My first profile was a complete blag to snare him...


Nice! Was that inspired by the Kate Bush song, Babooshka?

OT I found this site after someone telling me about it a uni and the reason why I joined was to find some new online friends as well as to speak to others who I already knew.

I was at the job center and some women were there chatting about POF. Ive never been on a dating site before. SO I decided to check it out, and since ive been her I have made a few friends, Ive had a good laugh and enjoyed responding to forum topics. SO not just here for one thing. Im here to enjoy chatting.

One of the lads was on here.

I joined to take the pi$$ out of people. Send stooopid messages. Then the serious ones crept in lol. It has got so bad that even my profile is serious now.

One of my mates was on it so I came to have a gander.

At first I wanted to find my Prince Charming but he got lost on the way to mine...or he's pi$$ed up in a pub somewhere LOL!!

So now I'm just on here to have a giggle and see what happens!!

I moved to a new town, went out a few nights and any hope of a nice loking chap with a decent peronality coming along seemed impossible, i wanted to meet new people in the area as well and was trailing the internet, bored at work and found this place, It confirmed for me that there really are no decent men in this town lol.

Punkinpie, I hope I am included in "the nice bunch of people" because I can't help but think otherwise, given the fact that you interrogate my posts so enthusiastically.


jez if I see somthing I disagree with then I will say it regardless of who said it, nor will I sit back and let someone go on a personal attack, which irratates me a lot, you don't agree with something I say that's fine, i'm big enough to take other opinions into consideration, so debate it with me, bring your facts into the equation, if you are going to make a statment have the facts to back it up, I'm a woman of strong opinions and believes, but I have respect for other opinions even if I don't agree with them, I can also come across as being very passionate in my believe, and will as you put interrogate a post if I see something that has caught my attention.

Sorry to pinch your words, but you've said them so eloquently, there was no point putting them any other way.

Friend recommended this site as she'd just joined...... i started using it, did a few searches and came across the perfect man..for her!!! lol

They've both left the site now and are living very happily together - just gotta get myself sorted

Recently started posting on the forums and its definitely getting addictive.

I was on another site and saw an ad for this one so came and had a look and haven't looked back!

Spend far too much time random clicking profiles and do not send enough messages tho!

I was exceptionally drunk when I joined.....

I remember talking to my mate on MSN and he told me about this site so I had a look and joined up.

I did my profile whilst under the influence and havent really changed it much since.

I really dont know why I joined up (this is the one and only dating site I have ever used)...possibly I thought I may meet a wondeful woman and if not at the very least I will hopefully make some mates.
