Posted: 12/16/2007 7:31:36 PM | My ex wife opened the top of her septic tank, getting ready to have it pumped. It took a while to find the spot so she just left it open for the pump dude to come back next week. Well, he didin't come yet.
Last night, my son took my old beagle to visit his mom . He let the dog out in the back yard to pee. So, after a while all decide the dog is not coming in soon enough. In the dark, my son tries to find the dog. He (6' 2") hears the beagle and goes toward the bark, but coming to the source of the bark falls into my ex wife's septic tank , the dog had accidentally fallen into the tank and was swimming in sewage and barking for help. The beagle was pushed to the bottom of the tank when my son feel in on top of her, almost drowning the poor creature in the festering sewage as she swam back to the surface . I can almost see her freakiing out and howling in that disaster, her ears all grey with the slime. My son had to swim in the sewage to get her back from the far side of the tank. All survived, but the stench was quite horrible. I called my ex-wife to try and talk about it but she told me I was screwed up and need to "get a life".
So, I figure, maybe if I don't get a date, but my dog doesn't drown in the septic tank. it's a choice I would have preferred anyway, maybe God's way of keeping things in order. I can only thank the higher powers for that. Likewise, if I didn't meet anyone on this site, I also didin't have to deal with someone who has multiple personalities, alcohol probelms, etc.
Have fun! | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 7:59:16 PM | | The problem is this place is like shopping at a garage sale,we are all like the crap that nobody wants anymore,not bad enough to take staight to the dump,but lets see if we can unload it on someone and charge them a little for it so they think they are actually getting something of value. The good news is that if you look carefully and long enough,you might find a real gem worth keeping! Like my handle sayes I`m the1youarelooking4! | |

That only speaks to your own self esteem. We are all like....you're not the spokesperson for the site. We are all like....nada! If you think of yourself like garage sale "crap" then that's just you. I know many fine people here with a healthy self esteem that don't think of themselves as someone noone else wants and aren't hard up to think they'd have to unload themselves on someone else.
FYI most people don't go to garage sales looking for a gem.  | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 10:30:53 PM | Your theory would be fine if it weren't for the fact that I (a woman) shop like a man. I don't want to try anybody on for size or ask my friends' advice etc. Neither do I want to put it on credit. I shop from a list or I glance at the shelves with an eye to what's needed at home not what's wanted and on display.
So I'm just going to sit around and post to the forums until my shopping opposite finds me! Let's hope he doesn't expect me to hold his parcels. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 10:51:33 PM | | Carbonrust, this is why we're friends. You're an idiot, but a perceptive idiot. I think some people are taking you WAY too seriously. I found your post to be original and funny and totally applicable when pertaining to me. I shop like a woman and I'm quite alright with it. Also, it's not just the guys who shouldn't take this site so seriously. The women should too. There are many morons to run into on POF. Getting angry over every sexual come-on, trite line, or random stalker is useless. Just laugh as you block them. At least you have a good story to share with your girlfriends over coffee. | |

Posted: 12/16/2007 11:21:41 PM | I disagree with you... I dont believe you can stereotype all these gentlemen and ladies into your scenario! There have been dozens of great women that I have spoke to on here and they arent each the same way... If that is how you are looking at this site, just as entertainment... Then, I feel sorry for any lady who does message you, or receive's a message from you! You are basically saying your here to play and not serious! I am very serious in relationships and making new friends along the way! I definately think you should re-read what you have posted and re-phrase it, because I read some of these comments everyone else has placed onto these comments of yours and you have just been marked! MARKED as a NON-SERIOUS DATER, who will only be messing with these ladies hearts!

Posted: 12/16/2007 11:58:53 PM | Shopping? What about you men? Seems beauty, eye candy,and youth regeneration, (among some things) is what you all seek..So what makes you all exempt and above women?..lol..
For me it has nothing to do with looks..I'm not shopping for a handsome man..I'm searching for a man who is looking for love, a committed relationship and who shares some of the same values I do. Someone I can laugh with and feel comfortable being with. Someone who accepts me,as I am-as I would him..Yes, I know rather a big desire, but hopefully, he is out there.. Yes, there needs to be an attraction and I prefer a man to have or send a picture that is upto date-however, I do not exclude someone just because he has no picture..
A bonus of email and writing-if a man and woman are honest- is you learn alot about who the person is inside by what and how they reply to the questions you ask and the conversations you have before you meet...
I do not place a great deal of confidence on this site or others. Way too many seem to be shopping for beauty, arm candy, fake or artificial things...(so it's not just women who shop)..They can pick and choose and with so many women coming to them they play the field and enjoy it. To each his own, but I want a man who is secure in what he wants and needs in his life and he wants love and one woman..I doubt a man like that will be found on these sites, despite their claim to so many relationships and marriages being made here..This is okay and something I understand..
For those who have found someone, I say God bless and I wish you the best..For those of us who have become tired of looking or jaded by this site or others..well, you live life, enjoy it and who knows-maybe when you least expect it that special man or woman will come into your life..I'm still waiting but I'm no longer looking here..I keep my options open and leave my profile up-you simpy never know..
Merry Christmas to everyone.. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 12:07:32 AM | Wow, this post would be a great sociological study. Most gender-devisive threads I see (especially those with a kernel of truth) end up having a plethora of guys saying, "Not me!". Of course that's all in an effort to better position themselves in the eyes of their quarry. Here, however, the only male protest-too-mucher I see is Blue Knight, and he's been pretty transparent. Instead, I'm seeing a ton of ladies, not saying the OP is wrong, but more subtly indicating that they "shop like a man" in order to distance themselves from the (in my opinion) obviously substantially accurate metaphor.
For myself, when I want to buy a lot of things, I make sure to bring a list. When I want one thing, particularly a big-ticket item, I do some research first then walk into the place which sells it and make a purchase. If, say, I want a shirt, I'll first pick a store. Then I'll look at what's on offer, perhaps pick a few I like, but narrow my choices to one before taking that one to the fitting room. If that one works, I buy it. I didn't go in with an armload. And... if I reject it, I try to put it back on the rack the way I left it -- not in a pile with a half dozen other rejects on the dressing room floor. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 12:24:21 AM | | I despise shopping, and I shop like a guy, get my stuff and get out! I do agree with you though. Very good point. My trouble is I can't find what I want and refuse to lower my standards. No I'm not looking for perfection but compatability.....ahhhhhhh | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 1:28:35 AM | Hi carbonrust,
Couldn't disagree more. I believe that the site is used for different reasons,by different people ,you only have to look at ladies profiles to see that some are looking for long term relationships,and some only e-mailing,and everything in between. The only disadvantage that any dating site has is that you never really get a chance to know how someone is until you meet them,and ,because of this you could spend a long time talking to someone who isn't what they say they are,but this can happen in real life too. And lets not blame the site for any problems people have had by dating someone off the site.
Attraction is one of the most mystical of human feelings. When you settle for something less than what you want,they could be the one that dismisses you. And when you go for a lady you don't think you have any right to be with,she may think that you are the one.
To me ,the site only reflects real life,perhaps at a slightly slower speed. | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 1:42:31 AM | It all depends on how you aproach a girl.If you go steaming in all guns blazing then most will back off straight away.Completely agree with what helindas saying too.
& lets be honest lads,theres a fair few players out there,female as well as male so we're all a little bit wary arent we? | |

Posted: 12/17/2007 5:29:23 AM | I don't like to shop either....when I do go to a store to buy something, I usually take a look around, look for the product; if I don't see what i want, I leave....
however, once in a while I my way out I spot something that I never noticed on my way in....it might not be exactly what I had in mind; but on further examination, it is even better and more appropriate than what brought me into the store to begin with....
I've learned to keep my eyes open more when I am shopping and to be open to items that I never realized I would treasure..... | |

Gasp! Ack! The MARK! I scrub and scrub but it just won't come off! Oh for shame, why won't it come off!?
I take relationships seriously. Dating is for fun. In the rare cases where I encounter someone who I both have fun dating and feel a connection with intellectually, emotionally, and physically, then I will get serious with them. Up until that point I will wear the mark of not taking things too seriously with pride.
Oh, and I read your profile. Hey, if it works for you, it works for you...
Here, you can have your pebble back... | |

Hmm, I thought more about this, and I am not so sure. Worst case scenario you end up euthanized after occupying a cage for too long. Best case scenario, some old cat lady takes you home out of pity, but not before you get neutered.
Think about this, actually this IS what happens to the guys that give up. They neuter themselves, they euthanize their chances. They get themselves Off the shelves by transmitting, I am not going to even try so don't even get close to me. | |

Can you steer me toward the petite section? I keep seeing what I want, but the size is always too large.
Dude, be careful, read the full content of the offer, particularly the line that says product may not be delivered on retail packaging.  | |
