| How important are POF roses?
Posted: 3/23/2008 4:55:37 PM | I have no roses left.
While they are only virtual roses and may be a little cheezy, they do express a sentiment that's easily understood.
After all, they do say, "Be Mine". | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 8:12:28 PM | | In my time on here (and yes, I was previously a member for a few months before deleting and reinstating my account recently), I have sent only one rose. And that was to the gentleman I've been seeing. I agree that people probably put too much stock in it, but such is the nature of any dating and/or social networking site. There are often little "rewards" or "gifts" that are taken much more seriously by some than by others. I guess they're status symbols of a sort. | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 8:19:06 PM | | I think that maybe you are reading too much into it... Ussually, the only people that I send roses too, etc. are those friends that I find on this site... People that I have not romantic interest in.. Just friends... | |

Posted: 3/23/2008 8:32:54 PM | | I don't really know about this whole rose thing. I suppose I'd like it if I got one but come on people it's a virtual flower. But I don't really understand the favorites thing on here either. People get pretty worked up over this stuff! :-) | |

Oy vey.
Thanks Beth... that's just what I need...if I want to remain single for the rest of my life.
For the record, there is no blood till they are in the dungeon...
I mean you are the quintessential lady and never have anything of this sort happen to you that requires the necessity of a pityrose.
That's much better...
No dungeons whatsoever... just a joke... guys, relax 
In few months that I have been here, I sent one of those roses... by mistake...
Apologized right away.
The darn thing says "Be Mine".
Guy sent me a beer in return.
Speaking about the reversed gender roles, huh?

Posted: 7/16/2008 10:38:56 PM | It goes both ways! I was chatting with someone for a few days having very nice conversations...then she stopped accepting my chat invitations for a couple days...I looked at her profile again to see if anything changed and both of her roses were gone.
I wrote her a very friendly note that I understand if she met someone and hoped we could continue to talk as friends sometime.
She blew a gasket and wrote me a scatheing email damning me for assuming she was involved with someone and the rosed didn't mean anything.
Oppps...Maybe I just don't understand what they really mean in general...I was trying to be a nice guy...Oh well... | |

So POF, are roses really THAT serious to you guys
Funny, I was just emailing a friend about one she sent me. Mine have never been sent to a man, however, I did send them to female friends having a bad day, family issues, etc. I was only here for forums for so long that they were a non-issue for me as far as men were concerned. That changed however. I found myself with a "dating" profile and all of a sudden, I started noticing that on men's profiles who contacted me. It did, in fact influence my initial thought, if there was only one or none. One thing I've noticed, those that are quite new here, send them quickly, those who have many favorites don't send them at all. Not sure why I noticed that, but I did (just a generalization, not verified study has been done..LOL) I don't know, it's probably silly ~ but I do look.  | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 6:49:12 PM | The roses, etc do nothing for me. Bring me a real rose on a date, though (or really any flower will do), and I'd think that was very charming.
I prefer just a thank you or a nice comment.

Posted: 7/17/2008 7:00:07 PM | Well, the roses mean mean nothing to me until I'm corresponding with someone and think I migh t like them and see they have no roses. I was not a recipient of a rose, or I got one rose and somebody else got the other. Kind of makes you go mmmmmmm....
Verygreeneyes - I've noticed the same thing too. newbies sent out their roses up the ying yang. I don't think they realize they say "be mine".
The only rose I will ever send is to the person that gets me off this blasted site, lmao. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 7:01:02 PM | The Roses are a joke and should be discontinued.
I have sent one out, to a fellow widow babe who is also a cancer survivor.
If anyone deserves a Rose, it is her! And I have never met her either, she's in the Great Northwest (and you know who you are!)
And the Favorites, what a joke! Like a High School popularity contest.
I see some women with 500, 600, 700, 800+ Favorites, why would I even bother contacting them?
It's like Bruce Springstein's song, "Glory Days". They want it back, but fame is fleeting Ladies!
Uh Oh, I see wrinkles and sagging mammary glands.
I deleted all of my Favorites, except for Ms. Northwest, she is a true survivor! | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 8:20:12 PM | | I joined this dating thingy a couple of weeks ago and hadn't had any urge to send roses, they'll mean something to me when I'll send one to a person that I would have establish a genuine connection with. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 5:16:25 AM | | When a girl only gave one out and still has one I never gave it a second thought. When they have given both out it seems they are really interested in someone and I pass them by. I once accidentally gave one to a girl, this touch mouse pad on my notebook is too sensitive and checked the box without me noticing before I sent the message. The girl was surprised as we had not been messaging for long and it was awkward, I never told her it was an accident. We never met, she was getting serious without having met and was mad that I was still dating and planning to meet other women, so she sent me one last nasty message I gave her the Porky Pig. It all started with a rose... | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 5:19:06 AM | | I think POF Roses just mean you think the person is cool. It isn't a real Rose for God's sake. I rarely give the Roses and only to my male friends for being there, because men tend to view that like phone calls, women chasing..... | |
