Posted: 11/14/2004 10:00:24 PM | | I dont wanna be a huge downer,but since were on the topic. I met a girl on this site, we met with intentions of having sex, we had great sex, and lots of it for a week. She even stayed at my place for the most part ( I know not too smart, but conveniant) . One week later I found out that she was dead, ya , so that put a stop to my searching for a while needless to say , but the shock is mostly gone . All I can say is you never know where each day might take you , so live it up!!! | |

Posted: 11/14/2004 10:06:30 PM | | yes I know how, she had previous addiction problems, and later found out she had used meth since I met her, hence guilt, adding to deppression, and then suicide , it was rough losing a person that you didnt know, if that makes any sense | |

Posted: 11/15/2004 5:53:19 PM | | It has been six months since I joined and no one has shown any interest in meeting me, just makes me wonder if they see the age of 40 and just write me off. | |

Posted: 11/16/2004 11:53:33 AM | Sorry to hear that van, from the few posts of yours that I've seen you seem like a pretty interesting guy... heck you worked for Sega that alone is pretty cool.  Heck if we lived a little closer I would hang out with you (for what THAT'S worth!) | |

Just take your time! When the time is right it will happen. My bf that I met here said that he was going to delete his profile the day I responded to his message. Just a couple of hours and I wouldn't have this wonderful man. | |

| Time is precious...
Posted: 11/17/2004 12:07:26 AM | | OK so why is no one writing me seriously? I exchange a few messages, then they drop off the face of the Earth. Do I have a bad FBI file or something? (No, I don't ask for dirty pictures or money...) Do I need to change my profile? | |

Posted: 11/18/2004 10:45:14 PM | | I took a look at your profile vanilla. Maybe you should include a few upbeat tidbits about yourself. Your profile is pretty intense and may be misinterpreted as someone that is depressed. Please don't take this the wrong way. It's only my two cents worth. I still think you can find a great person here. I couldn't be happier with mine! | |

Posted: 11/19/2004 12:23:37 AM | well boys and girls, I'm a new PlentyOfFish member and I am trying this out for the first time. The sense that I am getting is that people have to be very proactive on these kinds of dating sites. In terms of finding dates, I think that the clubs and bars are better places to find people. Most of my girlfriends over the past three years have come from the clubs. Sure, there is a lot of rejection, but I've found that if I don't go after what I want, then the girls won't usually come to me. I'm assuming that applies to these dating sites as well.
As for online dating, notwithstanding dating sites as this is my first experience with them, I have found that the quickest way to meet someone and chat is through IM programs (make yourself available for chats with random users or actually go and chat with random IM users), online communities where there is a realtime component (you hear, PlentyOfFish? :), or through personal homepages. I've formed bonds with people through all of the above mediums. The advantage of engaging in the above activities is that you get an instantaneous response. I either get an outright rejection or a girl that will chat with me. If she's interesting, then I will continue the conversation and flirt with her. If she's boring, I chat for a few minutes and then end the conversation. The downside to these other online methods of course is that usually the person is far far away, which is all right if you are just interested in finding an online friend.
The advantage of PlentyOfFish is that you can find people that live close to you and so, it'll be easier to meet up with people you chat with. The difficulty, perhaps, is actually finding people to chat with lol so REALTIME chatting is a feature I'd like to see on this site. (or maybe the feature is here, but I just haven't found it yet lol)
Despite what I said above, online dating does work. One of my friends has been dating a girl for over a year now and they met online. Another buddy of mine found his soulmate a few provinces away and they will be marrying each other this summer. So what does that indicate to me? Online dating works and it results in possibly longer-lasting relationships (because you get to know a person more intimately before you meet them).
I was looking at profiles today and I just want to say to everyone that it's really refreshing to see people put themselves out there in their profiles. It takes away some of the mystery, I guess, of that initial encounter, but it also takes away the mind games and provides a clear, transparent snapshot of what people are looking for. Refreshing!
peace,
the law man.

| Re: have you had an "Actual Date" with someone from here?
Posted: 11/22/2004 8:33:54 PM | | No kidding, also take your pepper spray, and blah blah blah. just relax and be yourself, meeting in a public place. The people i've met was on the october party, besides that almost nobody repplies the messages, it's really weird. i think there ios nothing wrong with my profile. but i guess . well I don't know. just have fun and meet people, that's what we are here for. right? cheers | |
