Posted: 10/17/2007 5:31:52 PM | I dont message people that have super erotic pictures or make themselves out to be supermodels. I like someone who is comfortable with themselves without the erotic photos and without the supermodel makeup. Id rather see a lady without makeup and smiling then some Barbie doll smilin back. I met the girl im with now off this site and she had some of the greatest down to earth photos you could ever find. Thats what gets me, just so happens she has a heart of gold as well away from PoF  | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 5:45:53 PM | As a very attractive man with 2 Masters degrees, I got tired of having women attracted to me for my looks and physique and not my brain. So I shaved my head and joined the online dating method which is more geared, IMO, not intellectually minded people. And works for me. Plus the great forums.
Thus I think that the same happens with attractive women (except for shaving their heads). 
Right.

So what is attractive? well you are Ravenstar for one but you are not alone. its not just the physical thing and I wonder how many of the early bloomers, the jocks or the prom queens have managed to retain their status as the attractive types as they reach their thirties or forties-
its all about the effervescence of the spirit and being not only interesting but interested in more than just the weekend at the nightclubs or bar(s) I guess these people are just coming into their own so yeah there are lots of attractive women on here and long may it continue!
That's an interesting thought. I was NOT an early bloomer... high school was torture to me... a skinny, gawky, VERY shy, unathletic nerd...really. I didn't come into my own until probably my late twenties... and emotionally until my mid-thirties. I did see one of the "cheerleaders" from my old high school a few years back... It made me smile - she was one of those who didn't have the time of day for anyone who wasn't "popular", she had been a vicious person in high school. She looked like hell and didn't seem to be queen b!tch anymore. Karma really does work in some cases.
I think it's attitude. The people who stay attractive (or become attractive later in life) seem to have the best outlook, it shows through. A positive life view and a zest for life in all it's wondrous varieties does make a difference in how people appear to others..but that's just my humble opinion. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 7:28:25 PM | wow, this subject kind of rubs me the wrong way. i think most men just think that attractive women get tons of emails on here and dates and should have no trouble finding men which is true. i will admit that i have men talking to me constantly on here but 3/4 of them arent anything i am looking for. t hey have the wrong values im looking for, or a major difference in goals and hobbies in life etc.
i'm hoping that men will stop thinking that about women because being attractive is not what we are about at all | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 7:58:52 PM | I always get emails saying "you're so cute, I can't believe you are single!"
That irriates me.
I'm single because I want to be. I won't just date anyone that looks my way.
I was out with a guy friend last night and he asked me why I never got married and had kids. Like I'm so old and there's something wrong with me. (How ironic that I'm 29 and he's 42 and in the same boat!)
The answer is very simple; I never met anyone I wanted to marry or someone who I would want to have children with! | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 8:10:36 PM | | Sure it does. It means you don't have the issues and insecurities that come with being unattractive. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 8:36:31 PM | | ^^^^Give me a break. Ever see what you may consider an unattractive person in a loving relationship and thought if he/she can do it why can't I? Of course you have. Everyone has. I take great offense to your comment. I'm considered attractive but some would be surprised to know that I've never been in a long term relationship, I have abuse in my background, I use food to comfort myself and I spend most weekends alone. It took me 40 years to finally allow myself to be attractive. In High School I was the fat, nerdy girl who never had a boyfriend. Things haven't changed much. Don't ever for a moment think that because someone is attractive that they have a better life because of it. I would rather be unattractive and in a loving commited relationship than attractive and utterly alone. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 9:07:04 PM | Well said green eyes.
I always thought beauty was int he eye of the beholder and that one person's meat is another person's poison --
Surely it is a question of taste and type. Me I am a sucker for tall and dark as a rule - but believe me there have been others that I have been attracted to that are not necessarily ?my type? per se.
On this site I am intrigued by the person that can carry on an intelligent conversation and can type in words of more than one syllable. Just my two cents | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 9:23:50 PM | Well, I am a full time mom, full time student, and teach full time as well. POF is convenient for me. I really enjoy the forums and making friends on here too!
I’ve never had a problem meeting people, but sometimes people assume you already have someone, or wouldn't be interested in talking to them. So we remain single.
POF provides a way for men/women to approach each other, without the embarrassment of getting “shot down” in a public arena.
Just my two cents (- a penny or two) | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 10:13:08 PM | Ok honestly I've read everything and everyone has a point of view that is different. But here's what I think. I've recently entered the dating world. Probably because I've changed so much that I have more confidence. I'm not saying I'm ugly or I'm pretty, I used to think like that but now I don't care.
When people ask me how I am I say I'm me.
It's hard to start dating, I'm not shy if someone comes up to me and talks to me. I seem like the most outgoing person you've ever met. There are people I bet who have wished they could of told me to Shut up! For me it's just hard to go up to some guy and talk to them. My past doesn't let me do that.
I'm not sure if dating is harder in the real world. It's all about accepting who you are and not playing any head games, that most people seem to do just to get into someone's pants.
I love this site. I met my ex-bf on here. He's amazing, but we just don't have as many things in common as I wanted to believe. I think the best thing to do is to look for someone to hang out with, or go to simple dinners without having the presure of sex and relationship added to the mix. That's what stagnates most women and men from putting themselves out there. The way they make assumptions about the other person. The questions that tend to run around in a person's mind.
There are many types of people on there. But saying they all atractive would mean narrowing down the definition of someone being atractive. Because if they're hot or good looking that does not make them atractive at all.
I know I've veered off topic a couple of times, sorry to anyone who got bored. It's just my point of view on people being atractive on here. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 4:57:54 AM | Good question... and i think the reality is there are a lot of profiles on here. Period. People have another option of meeting people and are using it.
Why do i find myself here... you just don't seem to actually meet people in day to day life. I have a few different social circles, i have a life, it just doesn't happen. When was the last time someone asked me out? Probably when i was out with friends at a music event and we all know, that is generally NOT the best place to meet someone.
So have i seen someone that caught my attention? Sure, but as they leave the grocery store you have a split second to take action. You have no idea if they are even single and what would you possibly say to them? | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 6:22:32 AM | hey doc i know exactly where youre comming from. i divorced after 7 years and im new to this thing too. i remember back in the day, when all i needed to get a girl was my 76 firebird and some pocket change to take her out with. after my split with the ex i decided to get back in the swing of things again and find me a nice lady. and im telling you this and i cant stress it enough. its hard as flippen hell to land a woman now a days when youre old school and lived a sheltered life. what a difference 7 years makes! from what i observed where i live most of the woman here get off on dating either a bad ass or some foreigner. i remember when my dad told me about when he was my age, and how there was 2 girls for every guy. its pathetic when you look at it, i mean if you want to date somebody nowadays you gotta be into culture, or rich, or look like a model, theyve set the bar kinda high now. about the only thing you can do is roll with the changes. as for me, id rather date a librarian.  | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 7:16:02 AM | | For some people the internet is convenient and also gives people a chance to maybe get to know a little about a person before hand.For some of the ladies maybe they get sick of being hit on everytime they go out.Also just because someones attractive or sexy doesnt mean they have a personality or they could be shy making it hard for them to get dates. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 8:16:05 AM | | Everyone has his or her own reasons for being on a dating site such as POF. For myself it's networking, for others it may be just looking for new friends. Being attractive or not, in my opinion has no baring on whether or not one is more likely to be involved. It is actually harder to find the right one. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 12:47:14 PM | | Myself, I do not drink, therefore do not do the bar scene. I don't know about everywhere, but in my locality, bars are by far, where one goes to meet someone. Therefore I feel the online dating sites are the new alternative to doing barroom pick-ups. And, myself, I prefer it! Sure, the pictures & descriptions are commonly ficticous "I wish's", but how many barroom pick-ups have you made, who were really exactly what you thought the night before. Besides, I have yet to have a drunken F-ck, that was really all that good! | |
