| Why are the young people on here?
Posted: 12/10/2007 2:42:05 AM | My main reason on here is cause I never have money to go out anymore. So all I really have to do for killing time is sitting on the computer or hanging out with my friends and doing nothing. Also because I hate the bars, clubs parties now. So I don't really get out much. Yes I have no life but I hate the attenchen from the guys on here who are always complenting your looks. Its a pain in the ass when you know you have looks but don't want to hear the thoughts going through the guys head. Dame perverts.   | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 3:39:06 AM | Well honestly, one of the reasons I am on here is that I can be shy in public settings at first, so I personally would prefer to talk and get to know someone over the interet abit, and then take things from there. I am not into the bars, although clubs I don't mind I guesse. It's just a preference that I have to go on sites like these and just get some feedback from people and get to know alittle about them and let them get to know me alittle through here before we meet.
So thats my reason in a nutshell. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 4:05:34 AM | | As a working student, I don't have much time or money to get out very often. This is an easy way to get to know people. It also benefits me as I am quite a shy person | |

As a working student,
Yeah same here, I work part time and am in College part time, so I find this to be the best way to go about the whole meeting people match looking endeavour.
I think one of the great things about this site, is it's free and it actually holds on to it's integrity that it started off with and it is honest and upfront with you and when it tells you it's for free, it's for free, it doesn't pull some of the stunts that some other dating sites may play by having a hidden charge in there also. | |

So am I its nice to know I'm not alone in the world of being broke and too shy for my own good. Well I'm a student as well but don't work so I can focus on my school. Living with my parents probably is a big reason guys don't want to date me as well. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 6:48:43 AM | Ever since I was in the 3rd grade I have been made to "type" and use a keyboard. (I'm 22) So online is pretty much all I know, this is our world. We have facebook, myspace, aim, ym ect. of course we go out with our friends and all but its 2007 and young adults stay online just as much as we go out at times. I just find it a lot easier to get strait to the point when it comes to dating. No need to do the club/bar scene when its all for you right here.  | |

They are so o lonely. {No net workings of the family unit} | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 10:39:27 AM | | im not goin to lie the reason that some of us younger ppl are here is for the fact we can meet older ppl that we wouldnt have a chance to talk to elsewhere. try walkin up to a 30 somethin year old at the bar or at a club.. its not easy but on here you can say hey and if they dont like u just dont hear back from them..no rejection....im like older women cant help it..POF gives me a way to say hey to the good looking older ladies and the young girls that like to drop by and say hey.. so yea we could be out there livin our lives with our peers but honestly why not get the chance to say hey to some nice lookin moms along the way | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 8:57:26 AM | Good Day justjanice,
You are Officially a Stereotypical A$$. These Ladies are here for the same reason as some of you Old Burned Out, Beat Up Couchy Woeman, Wish you
were still Young. By them being Young, Tender, & Sweet. You can't handle this
kind of competition. They have just as much right to be here as you do justjanice. Now
Slap yourself for Haten on the Young. Now Slap yourself again. Hater is what you are.
justjanice is a Real World Hater. Haters don't get far in Today's Society. I bet you did't
know. Peace Out Hater.

WTF?
I read all of the OP's posts in this thread, and didn't see any signs that she was "hating" anyone.
She was just asking a simple question, in an attempt to get another age-group's perspective. How is that percieved as "hate" ? | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 9:12:46 AM | Well i'm in that age range-being 22, and I do go out with peers and do all the things most people expect us to do but I also like to spend time talking to people from all walks of life I may otherwise not meet.
Just because some of us arnt in the older generation with no children etc.... doesnt mean we can just find a partner easily! the rules I believe are the same for people of all ages!
Im hopeless myself- always seem to find/be found by the wrong men! at least on here I have a better chance of wittling down the ones who I know wouldnt be suitable- without having to waste my valuable time! | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 9:23:01 AM | From what I have seen and read, the young people have all shared why they are here. This site also states that you must be 18 and over to join, so they have as much right to be here as us older folk.
On another point, I believe technology has damaged the social structure of our society. You can call it progress, but I don't think it has been progress at all. In my early years, there were no computers, video games, ipods and such. We were always outdoors doing something. We socialized with other people beyond school time. We certainly got more fresh air and exercise than our youth today. | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 9:35:42 AM | | once you are in the work world, it is hard to find people your age. I am also not into the bar scence so it's difficult to meet anyone. | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 10:40:18 AM | Well think about it...we all have something else going on in our lives and the time available to us to meet and talk to the opposite sex is limited. Bar scene is well just a fun place to visit but not to depend on it to find someone that "interest you". Another thing is the younger females (alot of them here now) are tired of the BS the boys give them. I wish the internet was around when I was a teen....we only had smoke signals back then!!!
Using the internet to find someone else is a great place to start but yes i agree there are some fruit cakes on line. There are a lot of guys that only have the courage to talk to a screen and evven more that are so full of it you could grow grass seeds on them!! Then there are the ones that are the catch(like ME) but so many women get so overwhelmed by the emails they get from guys that the good ones sometimes get overlooked. That is OK though because there are millions of single females for me to talk to. it will happen sooner or later I am in no rush.
then there is the things younger people can learn from thses type forums. I had no idea of what a man can do to a woman to give her great pleasure when I was young....guys do not talk like the females do on sex and dating at that age. Just think about it there is so much to learn about the human body and the human mind that takes intimacy to a new level of mind blowing pleasure. then the fact that young guys can tap into the wisdom of some forums and learn so much on becoming a better MAN not just a boy.
I love women greatest thing on earth but to bring out the feminine a male must obtain masuline traits so the female can bring out the goddess in each person. i talk to younger females and I feel so sorry for them ...the BS and the drama...damn. So I have spoken. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 12:06:41 AM | | It is just another way to waste time on the computer. I get bored reading some other web site, so I go here. It is a little bit like playing the lotto. There's not much hope of actually getting even a date out of it, let alone a relationship, but there's just enough of a chance to make it somewhat interesting. (Not enough at this moment, though, since here I am posting in these forums instead of writing to girls.) | |

| Why are the young people on here?
Posted: 1/22/2008 12:50:03 AM | | I'm on here because I all the women I meet offline who I'm attracted to have boyfriends. Seriously. I've met about a dozen women in the past month or so, who are cool to have as friends, and I'm quite attracted to them, but they're taken. And most of my best friends are married and in their thirties, so it's not like they can really introduce me to any of their friends. It seems like the internet is the only place I can find single girls. Oddly enough, the internet really isn't working for me. It seems that they're fine with talking online, but as soon as I suggest a meeting in person...the messages just stop. Lots of guys would have thrown in the towel by now. I guess I'm just stubborn in the belief that I'm a nice guy worth dating. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 12:56:19 AM | It's more convenient and less dangerous. No date rape on the way home from the bar, no real hassles. The very few genuine creeps can be gotten rid of with one mouse click.
And thats just the girls.
The boys have it even worse round the bars.
I won’t bother with the usual bewailings of young women round nightspots. The women’s rags have already done that to death. I’m going straight to what the guys go through.
The guy doesn’t spend an hour and a half preening so that’s some advantage to him. Clean up the car to impress the girls. Then a shower, scrub down, clean teeth and a quick spray with deodorant. Slap on a bit of two year old fashion and he’s ready to go. That’s fine.
The trouble starts when he fronts the bouncers at the front door of the nightspot. Regardless of his fashion tastes some totally cranky bouncer finds some excuse for a **** session. I’ve been barred for wearing the same dress boots as the girls. Hair too long, too short. Western style pendant is not a tie. Polo neck, like Carl Sagan, is not a collar. The list goes on and on as do the bouncers. (A very few current affairs programs have very recently raised this issue of blatant discrimination)
But there’s one thing that no female could ever appreciate here. No female EVER risks serious injury if she tries to enter a night spot when she is wearing the wrong gear, and the bouncer is in a filthy mood. Forget all the feminist preaching about violence against women. The ultra trendy nightspots are where the hospitals get their casualties from on any Saturday and those casualties are exclusively male. And most of this is over something as petty as a pair of shoes.
I’ve only ever heard of one solitary instance where girls have run into trouble like this. Some nightspot was only admitting girls with long blonde hair. Dark haired girls were not admitted but they still weren’t even so much as threatened let alone bashed.
No woman would ever expect another woman to walk down a dark alley, alone, at night, to get to a party, or a boyfriend. Far from it women strongly advise one another against it. Too much risk of violence. But the reality it that a man , facing a bouncer at any night spot runs something like two thousand times the risk of being seriously injured.
And he’s not even past the front door yet!
Once inside everything’s overpriced to the hilt. The girls are looking at him like a patch of pigeon poop on the Queens dress. Bar staff and bouncers alike are decidedly hostile.
But despite this he eventually finds some girl who doesn’t look too hostile so he wanders over and asks if she’d like to dance.
Piss arf ya creep.
This still remains a socially acceptable way of telling a man, “No I don’t want to dance with you, date you, bonk you, marry you etc”. It’s also considered a perfectly acceptable way of saying something like “Ask me again later, preferably with a free drink for me in your hand” These women tell this to countless guys and then wonder why they aren’t getting dates.
The whole idea to telling a guy you’re keen on to “piss arrrff” sounds, and is, insane but the girl, who do it, are doing nothing more than following the advice of countless, relationship bankrupt, girlfriends. These girls are continually telling one another to “Don’t say yes the first time or he will think you’re easy and wont respect you.” And teen girls , all too often do follow such advice like so many sheep.
The reality is a little different.
Namely “NEVER say no if you really mean yes. Because no means no these days. By law! By rape and stalking laws, by nightspot rules, the lot. Even when you mean yes you really mean no whether you like it or not. If you say no, even when you really mean yes, then he won’t respect you, or disrespect you. He will just go looking elsewhere.
“ Piss off ya stupid moll” is still an expression in reasonably common use by the guys too but not a socially acceptable one and certainly not one used by any guy who wants the girl to come back later.
This is definitely a big part of the problem in the early years of the dating game. From age fifteen the guys are practicing witty pick up lines. The girls are, just as keenly, practicing spiteful knock back lines.
Any woman, talking to a male customer, or colleague, in a workplace situation, in such a manner would be promptly sacked!
No wonder the guys prefer the i net | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 9:00:53 AM | I'm 23 and I'm on here. So are most of my single female friends, and a few of my male friends.
Once you're finished with college, it becomes hard to meet new people. I work at an office and am the youngest person there by decades. I also don't like the bar scene, and just moved back to this area not too long ago, and have few local friends. The internet makes sense for me to use to meet people.
Younger people do have more social opportunities, but conversely, we can have less. We move around more, and are in such a state of flux in our lives that it's hard to set down roots. Many of us still live at home, and our friends come and go. Social opportunities (like singles clubs and the like) are usually geared towards older people.
Also, some of us are shy. Shy people tend to do better online then IRL. I recently met a wonderful, good looking guy online. The only reason I can think of that he'd "need" to use the internet to find someone would be that he's shy. I'm shy too, so it works. I can write out thoughts and feelings better than just saying them verbally. | |

Posted: 1/22/2008 9:14:03 AM | | I'm a single mom in school full time who just recently broke off my engagement to my son's father. I am here because I want to see who all is out there that I could possibly have a connection with. I am very self confident and have alot going on outside of the internet, but unfortunately there are plenty of weirdos out there and I would rather get to know someone on the net first before I engage in any form of contact outside of it. Maybe I'm using it as a safe haven so that I'm not put into a bad situation, but I think it is a very informed intelligent choice. Just my opinion. Take it for the 2 cents it's worth. | |
