I love the non sequitors. | |

You are very pretty, but your pics look sad.
Also, I would lose the Breast Cancer Ribbon on the profile. I know that it is an important cause but, that can be a turn off to a man. | |

Posted: 12/11/2007 8:38:13 PM | I have met exactly one person on this site. We pretty much covered everything we had in common over four or five dates at the most.
I browse through profiles when I'm bored. Every once in a while I write to someone who sounds interesting, but it's very rare to get a response. This is especially true with the women who detail specific instructions for getting in touch. I follow these to the letter, nothing too long, just a paragraph or so that makes it obvious I'm actually reading their profile and not just cutting / pasting. But either they are getting so much mail that they can't possibly respond to all of it, or they don't like my profile and are just embarrassed to say they're not into me.
So basically I've given up dating on this site for the time being. In fact, I've given up dating, period. I'd like to meet someone, but to do so using this site would take more time than I'm willing to spend.
Thanks for posting this question, though. I'd been wondering if I was the only one asking. | |

Posted: 12/11/2007 9:26:33 PM | Yes, I have had dates with men from POF, met some very nice guys and remain friends with a few. As for finding the love of my life, well, hmmm.....always open to the possibility! But in order to find who we're looking for, we have to at least meet people and this is as good a way as any other.
I still think I'll meet my Prince Charming in the produce section at Safeway while we're both checking out the lettuce.......I really do!

Posted: 12/11/2007 10:11:05 PM | Well, ya. And in my age bracket, lol, no easy task. . . . More, I tend to do long emailing before meeting. That's partly because so many are so far away. But PoF has been *very* good to me. Keep yer chin up, it can work.

Posted: 12/12/2007 5:22:09 AM | I have come to the conclusion that a majority of the people on these sites are either very lonily, OR they are living in fantasy land.
Neither one is wrong, or should I say harmful, but it is very unrealistic.When I chat with someone, I am honest and straight forward with them, they, on the other hand, (male or female) seem to think I want to hear what THEY think I want to hear. THATS BULL! I want the truth and nothing less.
I have had a few dates thru the net, and each one is the same result, either they are found to be false on the first date, or there are some who have the BS down to a science and can pull it off for a few dates, even a couple of months. Thats just the nature of the beast. The trick is being one step ahead, or having your senses finely tuned to the sound of BS.
This isn't just about men, it's about BOTH genders,. I've seen some ladies day after day write, but as each day comes and goes, so does their answers. But then again, everyone is entitles to change their mind. At least admit the change instead of argueing or defending one's self over the change of heart.
Admitting your wrong isn't a bad thing, I believe being able to say I'm wrong only proves that I am WILLING to take a good look at myself and admit I have flaws.
So yes, people date, and even some are lucky enough to connect, it all depends on how much chit one is willing to wade thru before finding the right person. For me, sure it would be nice, but I have waded thru enough chit til I can no longer define where my azz is. I am content coming in the forums, just to have some thing to do.
I would much rather take my chances in the real world, where I can SEE, HEAR and FEEL the vibes coming from another, but hey, thats just me! | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 5:50:22 AM | I have met numerous fellas from this sight. Some I have dated only once or twice, others I have spent several months with. Still others, because I enjoy their company but have dismissed the idea of a SO relationship with, I still see on occasion.
Why haven't any of these relationships developed into something deeper? Because I am too "picky, particular, difficult, impatient"...trying to think of other synonyms that have been used to describe me; think that covers it.
In my own defense I must add a disclaimer. These adjectives are not my own.
Okay well maybe "impatient".
I am working on that.

Posted: 12/12/2007 8:16:41 AM | | I met someone through a different site, Singlesnet, and that's going very well. We've been seeing each other for a while, are going away together for a few days over New Year's, and have mentioned moving in together later on. | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 1:20:02 PM | I'd like a date with 'kevin from heaven' and I hope he brings his special baked brie 
We could spend an evening spreading it over some gourmet crackers while watching the candles flicker. I don't have a fireplace, so hope that's not an issue Kevin!! 
Have a feeling Kevin's post was meant for the 'recipe section' lol. Then again, maybe he's onto something here ladies!! Tantalize us with some of his home cooking, instead of the usual 'what's your favorite position' garble, some men 'dish' out
everyone!! | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 4:16:17 PM | Funny, I haven't had any dates from here. Seems that the majority of the people who have contacted me from this site, that are local, have wanted to "hook up" for casual sex. Funnily enough that just isn't the approach I take to intimate relations. So, until I encounter someone who is on the same page I will just accept things as they are.
And until then I I will continue enjoying reading and occasionally responding in the forums. | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 6:44:14 PM | | Yes, but not too often. I suspect that most men will date most women that meet a few basic requirements such as smoking, basic appearance, and a positive attitude. Seems like most women have such high expectations or restrictions on their mail box that I doubt they even get many Emails. If the only person you will date or receive mail from is your ideal SO, then you will spend many nights home alone. That is your choice just don't expect better results. | |

Well, first they have to reply to a guy's email. I have found that at least 70% of the Ohio women , 48 to 55 don't have repect to answer emails sent to them. Their lose and my gain I guess. LOL! wow, no wonder us 30% left over are having such a hard time keeping up! LOL! | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 8:27:40 PM | | HEY BOOBOO! .... I get overlooked by lots of ladies online. Too bad. They're getting played for suckers most of the time. I do suppose it's difficult to weed through the real ones, desperate ones, and the players tho'. I just assume that my time will come and chance will provide me with what I'm looking for. | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 8:49:47 PM | I met one man from here. He was very nice , a gentleman, but never had a second date, don`t quite know why. I have dated quite a bit in the "real " world since on POF but
really no one I would want a second date with. But I did a search in my little home town where I will be spending the Holidays, and a pic of an old acquaintance from 25 years ago came up. He married and now divorced one of my best friends from high school. So I finally figured out from the pic that it was him ( which was really fun!)
He knows my family and may stop by the house to say hi while I`m in town. That was kind of a kick, both of us figuring out who the other one was after 25 years! | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 9:55:08 PM | | Hey there Bob! Well, as you can see, the state of Ohio is seriously short of dating females so this is a bad time to try to take on a multi-state area! LOL! I can however send you one of my portable "BS detectors" to help out with the weeding! | |

Posted: 12/12/2007 10:44:34 PM | A picture is worth a thousand words, so if I were you, I would delete the one where you are with a friend? Get some new ones taken where you are smiling!! The pics I like the best are where people are doing things, going for a walk, not just posing for the camera. Maybe you could add a few more things to your profile, like what qualities you appreciate in a guy? This is where you put your best foot forward and tell the world what's going on, but your profile has to stand out from the rest that are already on here to attract some attention. C'est la vie!

I am finding out there is a lot of talk and flirting but is anyone serious about really finding that someone they want to spend the rest of their life with? I have been a member for quite some time, but never get dates or actually meet anyone.
Are guys afraid or what? Or is this just a game we play to keep entertained while we spend our evenings alone? Would love input on this subject.
I think that depends on who's on here...
Some of the posters on here are so frequent..and so bitter..that they aren't likely to be dating...
Also...if you look for somebody in a narrow range...you are going to have a difficult time dating anybody....
Most of the personals on here (or most sites) are laughable....
They seem to be written to ensure that there poster will get as few responses as possible...
I've dated from here...but then I take people as they come..
Not how I want them to be.... | |

Posted: 12/13/2007 7:47:46 PM | Honestly, I've never been really serious about finding someone here, never actually met anyone by way of this site. I come here ocasionally to read some of the forums.
I have been in contact with people here from all over the country and in other countries too, enjoy talking to them, but I will not take on the effort or expense of traveling a long distance just to meet someone. When I date, it's always people I know locally. | |
