Posted: 12/5/2007 4:34:10 PM | | If this has been around when I was 18 I would have been here in a second. There's nothing wrong with giving yourself every opportunity to find someone, even the young people sometimes are outcast from their age group and social circles, so they need other ways to socialize. Seems like a pretty self-explanatory question to me. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 4:42:00 PM | | I'm 25 and have been on here for a while. I work full time, and go to graduate school. I don't have a whole lot of time or money to be going out every night trying to find someone. I'm also really shy. This gives me a chance to talk for a little while to get to know someone so I'm not all crazy nervous if I actually do meet them. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 8:00:30 PM | Dear Taralara:
When you say "our children have probably grown up feeling scared silly," you're referring to YOUR children and those of whom else? Certainly not MY mama, considering I've worked and lived in the Middle East without having my Mommy OR my Daddy hold my hand.
Maybe we just know that since all you old folk out there seem to be afraid of having us young hooligans out on the streets to all hours of the night, we're just being nice and keeping ourselves inside so you don't have to worry about us coming and smashing up your garden gnomes... or whatever else your generation thinks we "children" do in our spare time. | |

Posted: 12/5/2007 9:57:52 PM | | In theory, most people in my age group are so absorbed into their *clicks* that its hard to meet new people, even when attending social events. I myself, work alot, live in the boonies, and have horses. rarely leave the confinements of my lifestyle so also have difficulty expanding my social and dating calendars. | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 2:40:34 AM | young and obligation free? i WISH i was an adult and only had to deal with caring for my parents and my career. i care for my parents AND work well over 40 hours a week in order to pay for the 5 university classes i take which (among typical studying/paper writing) require a MINIMUM of two hours of practice a day... and i'm only 21.
this is a common situation for young people today. it's just how many of us live - it leaves virtually no time for meeting people, dating, etc. | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 6:31:24 AM | same question in my mind...I think they should be out there embracing their youth...enjoying the wonderful world of being able to go out and date without to much responsiblity on their hands.
I wish them all the best though....
if i am as young as them...i maybe travelling/schooling and meeting lots of people( but never will be online to meet somone)
Just my thought....
Good luck,guys!!!! | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 8:00:16 AM | Bars and clubs are not best place to meet people. Very loud. I am 29. Abit mature. However. Most people go to bars and clubs with friends just to go out and do neutral social stuff at times.
Its hard to judge a person at a bar when people are all drunk and fake.
However then again the net is a bad place too as some people can be fake as well.
For the question of people between 18 to 25 who use it. People are busy now a days. Cost of everything is very high. And people have to work lots. AS well corporations run the world. Make people work weekends and midnights. So who wants to go out on the town after working weeks and weeks on a midnight shift.
Anyways thats one reason why. | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 12:11:11 PM | I believe im in a group of:
"Single, 24yrs old, responsible mom who has no time, or wants to take away from her child and other obligations to be going out there and partying my Booty off and meeting wrong men..."
I find it much easier on here where I can go through profiles, find same interests, values, beliefs, and ATTRACTION. and decide to take it from there.. without wasting my time... literally... | |

Say that again and i will run and tell my mommy about the mean old ladies picking on me!!!!!
 ...that was a good one.
OT: Younger people are looking for that someone special too you know? & as far as I see it, the internet is just another avenue when they don't have the time nor the money to be hangin out in clubs.....not to mention its damn entertaining. | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 5:46:56 PM | | ..this generation has grown-up playing video games and have developed "o" skills in regards to communicating with people, they spend to much time on computers and this is what they have learned! sad isn't it ? | |

Posted: 12/7/2007 8:16:52 PM | | I'm here to make friends. I work like mad, I have a house to keep, and I have a partner who likes to be at home, doing quiet things. I don't have a lot of time to go out, but I enjoy human contact... so if I can meet someone for coffee through this, then great. | |

none of you have children or careers or major responsibilities, so please leave the internet to the elderly. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 7:13:08 AM | | Think about the utility of dating sites. In a few seconds you can get a physical and personality impression of someone and compare intrests. I've never done the bar thing personally, but from what I hear they are full of the same types of people from both genders and honestly I'm after someone unique. It's not a last resort but a better option. I love the fact that I can msg someone on here without a profile pic and get to know them and talk for hours without ever having seen them. Just my fanciful way of thinking, but I'm looking to spend my life with a person, not just a body. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 7:35:28 AM | I agree- when I was going to school, I was working 30 hours per week, taking 5 classes at a time, working as a freelance artist, recovering from multiple car accidents, in which I was a passenger, and getting over major trauma from other things. I nearly died twice during my degree, alone.
And I was 19 the first time, and 21 the second time.
Life isn't as simple as it used to be. I'm 25. I work full time (6 days per week, actually), I do free-lance artwork, I have my family to help take care of, and my partner's family to help take care of. I see my best friend probably once every 3 weeks, as she's in the same boat. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 10:21:07 AM | I do it because I'm addicted to the constant attention. I got it constantlty at nightclubs and even when I use to stroll down the Waikiki Strip in Hawaii.
Now that I'm here in Iraq, I look like shit all the time so posting attractive pics of myself and just letting the complimentary emails roll in, makes my day  | |

Why are you here???
Why not? I view internet networking sites as a supplement to interacting with people on a purely face-to-face basis. I've met some awesome people on here that I probably would have never encountered on the street. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 10:56:15 AM | | I joined this site a while ago mainly for the chat orginly. I've met guys from here but never really ended up going out with any of them. Now its the forums I enjoy most on here. I don't really meet people of the net much anymore cause theres so many preverts and I'm super shy so I need to talk to them for a while before meeting. Its more so for meeting new people and the possible chance you may have a new friend. Witch all I'm looking for right now is talk/email for now then maybe friends if I feel comfy enough to meet. | |

Posted: 12/8/2007 12:10:45 PM | That's a good question.
Even if there was the internet dating when I was in my 20's, I wouldn't waste my time (and life) in front of computer screen. When you're young and good looking, dating shouldn't be a problem out in the real world. | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 10:21:19 PM | I'm 26 and a single mother of two...
So, I guess that pretty much sums it up there in a nutshell. In addition, I work a lot of hours and don't have a lot of time to be introduced to others.
Thank God for POF!!!

Posted: 12/9/2007 11:05:25 PM | Young people are here for the same reasons older people are. Or are you trying to say that plentyoffish should only have people that have limited success in finding people in real life?
I think meeting people online is a great and comfortable way of getting to know them.. Without the pretentious club environment (where people are drunk and conversation is sketchey) and in the comfort of our own homes. Plus your special someone could be anywhere in the world, not necessarily at the bar down your street.
I've met and dated/relationshiped more than six women through online means... and it's still going great! Try it sometime!  | |

Posted: 12/9/2007 11:14:14 PM | | I joined summer 2006 and hardly did anything for the first 9 months except occasionally check mail and forums. Like others said, it's just another way to meet new people. I'm only interested in people in my area. And it's not like I don't meet people in "real life." As a lot of people here know, I talk to girls in classes, work, etc. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 1:12:42 AM | I'm here because it's another opportunity to expand my social life..
POF isn't only for dating, but meeting new people.. seeing what type of people are out there.
I've definately experienced my share of different types of people.
I don't think POF should be just for people 25+, Dating, Love, and Friendship is for everybody.
Not just those who are parents, taking care of their parents and/or at the peak of their life.
I think it's a cool and fun opportunity/experience for 18 year olds (like myself) and others.
That's why I'm here !
Happy fishing! | |
