LOL...I think the post is being taken to literal, now! When it was asked...I doubt it was intended to be asking why men are still single HERE on POF. I think it just was a silly question asking why so many men are still single when there are soooo many kick butt women?! ;O) Yeah...thats my story!

Ok, ok, ok - that was the only fishing rule I could remember!

I am going back to my corner now - and do some more comedy routine practice because NO ONE got my poor attempt at being funny

Or maybe I need to before posting

Well I for one do like a man that can make me laugh. But in my case, it is a sense of humor that I like. Maybe it is hard for a woman to take it seriously when asked to commit to a relationship when the someone asking isn't really "single", just a thought. I guess I should have put this in the things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm thread.

PLEASE don't jump my chit like that other woman that decided to post someone's screen name. I'll get all scared and cry.

OT, I agree that some are single by choice because I am one of them. I know this is a dating site DUH, but I'm on here mainly to meet people and have fun. I am not looking for my next husband YIKES!!!!!!

Mob Mentality?! That's ludicrous..

....gathering up all the members of POF, lighting torches and heading to Met's house with tar and feathers...

Dunno bout the rest of ya but don't think humor is good way to attract someone, specially the female types... All the ones i know usually end up p'n themselves and there’s absolutely nothing attractive about that!

Ok that's not exactly 100% true, there are those that spew all over the monitor but that’s just as unattractive!!!!

And Nita, i'd neva jump ya chit! Even though ya neva returned any of my calls!
But now that i see ya not lookin for a hubby i kinda understand why!

NEXT!!!!

Ok off ta mah corner to go work out my options since Nita's not one of em!

And Jim, dont think it's mob mental'ity, more like everyone thinking it was uncalled for and voice'n their opinion... I may be wrong, but never in my mind!

Ummm...it may seem mob mentality and cliquish...key word...seem. :) Did you know that POF has something like 900,o00 members (I may be off by a zero!) and only 2000 of those post in the forums?! So yeah...I think it may appear the same ole, same ole peeps are posting...but that does not make a clique. To me...a clique is when a circle of people are close minded and do not welcome others into it...which is the OPPOSITE of what we do here. :)

Sign me on to bring the eggs!

I'm single because I wasn't man enough to marry my last gf. I chickened out and let her get away. I loved her and the heartache afterward was a tough lesson to learn. I didn't believe her ultimatum and had to learn the hard way.

I think men will stay single as long as their gf lets them. Why commit when you're getting everything already?

Love is a battlefield.

Kat, have you ever looked at the number of posts on some of these boards vs the number of views? I've seen some with over 70,000 views and only about 1000 posts! Seems this is a site of stalkers not participators!

Steve, everything happens for a reason, keep da faith bro, something goods probably just around the corner!

Sue, not a bad ideal!!!!
Kat, can i get mine in bed????


Yeah yeah, no need to comment, i already know the answer!

LMAO Bay. I always laugh when I read your posts.

I read a lot of the posts I admit, but there are very few I comment on. I don't think I'm part of a clique or have a mob mentality. I do, however, have an opinion of which I have no problem voicing if I so CHOOSE. I am in no way ganging up on anyone. As I've said in my posts, everyone has an opinion and is entitled to that opinion. Along with being entitled to that opinion comes the RIGHT to voice it. I for one would never make it in a world where I didn't have that choice.

Steve, sorry you let her get away, but maybe you did learn a valuable lesson. I don't think it is a gender thing on being scared and ultimatums rarely work out. I hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck.

Wow, Steve...that was one of the most heartfelt and honest replies on this thread! Obviously you learned something...and won't make the same mistake twice...nothing worse than living with regret. :) Well, dying with regrets, but still!

OK...I ain't no short order cook, peeps! LOL

And Bay...my point exactly...it might FEEL like a clique or the same ole, same ole...because not even a small percentage of the members, actually post!

You're not one of the ones that p's or spews when ya laugh are ya Nita??? :P
And that was my point exactly, it's not mob mentality, it's people feelings strong enough about a topic or comment they feel the need to voice their opinion...

Believe it or not there are A LOT of posts i get the urge to post on but rather than start something i bite my tounge...

(--- not agree'n wiff Kat, she always lets it go to her head!
MAKE MY BREAKFAST WOMEN!!!!

WOW after reading some 26 pages and 600 plus posts...........................
I'm marrying the 1st woman that has $$5 million $$ bucks in the bank,
and will give me a credit card and check book to spend on more toys.

I promise to cook and clean the house, and take care you ALL your needs
when YOU need them "taken care of" in sickness and health, till death do we part.

Then I won't be single on here anymore..........

Does monopoly money count? Is that a positive or negative amount? Or will you take an I O U? And what will you be wearing when you clean the house?

Okay, I've been dorking off on this thread but didn't give my answer to the question so let me take a shot. :P I think that all of us have different ideas about dating. I've heard instances of people going out on one date and KNOWING they were ready to turn their profiles off and date that person exclusively. That's terrific but very rare! This has never happened to me, although I have been on a COUPLE of dates where a second date was mutually agreed upon. Then, I think, it gets down to a matter of expectations. For instance, if after one date, you both agree that it's not a mutually exclusive THING but you'd like to investigate knowing them a bit more, it's probably helpful to stop reminding that person that you're a "free agent". That's a romantic buzz kill. Nothing impedes a flirtacious email exchange faster than someone who doesn't know how to take a compliment without reminding you of the non-exclusivity disclaimer. Say thank you and flirt back. This is supposed to be fun! If you've both agreed that you're in the very same place, then throw caution to the wind and let them "see" who you are. After all, they may not like you at all after awhile so it's time to put your best foot forward and show them your dazzling personality not your wet blanket. LOL! If after five dates with a person you think it warrants further discussions about exclusivity, then discuss it at that time. Personally speaking, I think it's important to fan the flame of a budding romance ,rather than douse it by holding the other person at arm's length. I'd be willing to bet that more than a few budding young relationships have been extinguished by reactions that one of the parties felt were too stand-offish so they just moved on.
