Posted: 3/12/2008 7:37:48 AM | How about the profiles that say "taken, married" whatever,yet they have very provocative pictures up still?
To me, its the excuse of weak character to continue the charade if you've met someone under the guise of "I'm still here for my friends"....really?
I have the email addies of ALL of my friends and use that method of communication. As well as turn them onto forums such as an archery forum or others that are not "dating" forums where I do enjoy carrying on a banter in public so to speak.
Not buying it, LOL, bunch of tripe and commitment\trust issues to maintain the profile or not delete it, and create a new one indicative of someone "taken", not taken in... after all, wouldn't your friends know who the "new" profile is? Eggggzakree So, tell it to the hand- | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 7:55:05 AM | 1) Bait hook
2) Cast line in POF pond 
3) Get a couple nibbles
4) Get a BITE 
5) Catch fish 
6) Take home 
7) Clean & prepare 
8) Eat fish 
9) Feel satisfied 
I would miss the forums, but would invest that time with my mate and (no offense) would forget all about other fish.

Posted: 3/12/2008 8:22:54 AM | | I am personally here for the forums and even though I've met some awesome ladies, they live too far. Besides, I don't fish here, only play. As to other sites. I am off all of them and the only thing I look at with plenty of lust are new carbon bikes. Hehehe. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 8:25:24 AM | | I stay for the forums. I hid my profile, changed the wording in the text to reflect my dating status and that keeps me out of searches. My GF knows my situation and has seen my profile here, she knows I enjoy posting so she's cool with it. I have no desire to search or play around, to be honest there's nobody online that interests me that way. | |

On topic, the question is what is a "serious" relationship? If it means having had "the talk", then sure make sure your profile reflects that. If you're reading this you're likely a PoF forum junkie and you would likely agree that it's ok to keep a PoF profile as long as it clearly states you aren't looking, maybe you keep it hidden, whatever. If your partner isn't a forum junkie, kindly explain to them that you are, perhaps even sit down with them and show them just how entertaining these forums are.
Other dating sites that are strictly dating sites, of course one shouldn't have an active dating profile if one is in a committed relationship. Unless they are some sort of swinger--whatever floats your boat. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 10:12:10 AM | | It would be easy for me to delete dating site profiles. So much life out there to see and be in .. I'm interested in it and might switch to blogging as an online creative outlet. If it turned out he wanted to stick around Forums, I possibly would too and would expect we'd both reflect that in our profiles. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 10:16:37 AM | As a fairly new member of the site I have been very impressed with the forums offering sound practical advice as well as a wide spectrum of opinion. Both of which are healthy in considering the dilemmas and angst involved in close human relationships which tend to be open to interpretation and opinion.
It would normally be my plan to leave the site upon meeting someone who was serious about me, as I think it would not be suitable to advertise myself as 'available' for potential dates and involve disappointment for any pursuers. After reading and commentating on forums I would probably wish to stay on the sidelines, observe and occasionally comment! A compromise for this would be to amend my profile to say that I am no longer looking for romance.
As to my potential partner removing his profile, this would be his choice, as trust would form a vital part of any loving relationship I entered into, and to attempt to control his presence here could be perceived as a sign of insecurity on my part, and I would not want the relationship to be infected with that. | |

My fishing pole may be out of the water but if the "right" man showed up I'd be off this site like spook the cat. It has been fun and enlightening at times but with the right man I would expect my time to be better spent elsewhere having fun and getting enlightened. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 10:21:28 AM | OH yeah I would delete all of my profiles on all sites in a heartbeat. I had a guy from POF that wanted to date me seriously and when I sent him an email telling him that all profiles on all sites would be deleted or hidden and the games would end, THE LOSER blocked me from emailing him at all  OH Well, at least I know where he stands and I am not still waiting around to see I have met 2 guys from POF and one blocked me and one freaking called me and hung up over a dropped cell phone call and then ignored me after a totally awesome date I might add. I have had two more guys im me that I was interested in and one blocked me for some reason--I guess because I quit calling him when I did not know he was sick. THe other is either bipolar or has multiple personalitys and I am hoping that he is gone now. Oh well back to fishing.

Posted: 3/12/2008 10:27:53 AM | have given up on other dating sites.
would I leave POF: I would not login to my mail becuz my profile is already hidden, only the favorits get to see me. The forums are interesting, so I'll pitch in when I can.
fishing sucks!! and being poked around by strangers is not my cup of tea either! (esp in the sexuality sections) | |

I just have to ask. If you found your "someone", would you continue to send emails, IM, etc. with others of the opposite sex? Would you stop fishing? Come on, let's hear the honest truth on this one. I'm more than a little curious about what people have to say on this.
Yes, if I found the ONE, I would delete my profile.
There are some members that not only continue to keep their profile on the site, they go to the meet and greets too when they claimed they found the ONE. I know there is no rule against anybody attending the meets. But one of the complaints I have heard from people who attend meets is that many of the people attending are taken already. | |
