Posted: 3/20/2008 1:02:47 PM | I am not looking for any dates on POF and so anyone who views my profile will probably think WTF. I put this up for some of this message up fora laugh
Imagine a starving dog that everyone kicks around. What good is it? What future can it have? However, that starving dog has more hope that the dead carcass of a once mighty lion. For because that that dog is alive, it may find a hope and a home. However it will not find happiness if it is dead.
That's how it is for us. God never promised life would be easy. However, He did promise He would be near the broken hearted. In times of crisis, it may feel He's far away, but He's really nearby. He's waiting for you to lean into Him; to lean your head upon his shoulder.
I know you may have made some bad choices and/or had some tough circumstances, but so? These choices and circumstances don't mean it's the end of the road. If you turn to God, if you are willing to say, "I will trust you no matter my pain," then God will take you on a new journey; a journey of hope..........................  | |

Either way its an emotional roller coaster in the offering.. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 1:59:04 AM | Something I've seen a lot here is people spending their whole 'about me' paragraph moaning about the timewasters and losers and rude people on the site because apparently they dont get messaged back. 
All that tells me about them is that they are negative, cynical and I wouldn't message them back either! What are they achieving by doing this?
And the dancing bananas!!! Arrggggh. | |

I.e. Interests.............."Clubbin Wiv My Mates" !!
"I'm 52 but look 24 everyone tells me" !!

Posted: 3/22/2008 2:46:37 AM | Cliched phrases! Such as:
"I have a son/daughter, who is my world" - It's unlikely that you need to inform people that you love your progeny. Most people wouldn't be interesting in talking to you if they thought you disliked your children.
"As you grow up you learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down.... Probably will" - Jeez, get over it. The only person who I feel has an obligation to not let me down was my mother when I was at an age that rendered me dependent on her. She didn't, so I was good. Who EXACTLY are you talking about?
"First date... Sky diving" - Shut up. Nobody goes sky diving on a first date. Get real.
"IF YOU HAD ME LOCKED IN YOUR ROOM FOR 24 HOURS WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO ME" - Well, if I was the kind of person who was prone to locking people in rooms then I probably wouldn't be subjecting you to anything you'd find particularly enjoyable. If you REALLY want to know what people will do to you once they have falsely imprisoned you, well, I think I am out of touch with the needs of modern women.
"I am a genuine person" - Oh great, because I have been getting sick and tired of dating androids, cardboard cut outs and all other manner of artificial human beings.
"Hi i'm --------. I don't really know wat to put on here so if u want to know anything feel free to ask" - Means, "Hi I'm ridiculously insipid and unimaginitive. I have absolutely nothing to say and nothing to contribute to a conversation unless you prompt me by asking specific questions. I am so shallow and boring that I can't think of ANYTHING in my life or my personality that is likely to interest you upon reading about it. When left to my own devices that only things floating through my mind are jingles from adverts, words shorter than three syllables and little pieces of rainbow".
Also,
Don't post pictures of yourself on your bed, with your arse in the air and your baps hanging out, then complain in your profile that guys are only after one thing!
I could probably go on for longer, but I won't. Yet. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 3:17:26 AM | How about 'Work hard play hard' pmsl I guess if login on every night is your idea of play hard ...the real world must be a big old challenge.
Other pet hates
people who put ect instead of etc in fact any poor spelling, we do have spell checkers.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxall over your profile so it spreads across 2 pages.
With the photos, please ask any 12yr old to show you how to put them up the right way, its not difficult to click on rotate in whatever photo suite your using before you upload.
VVVVVVVVVVV
nothing wrong with your 'baps' out, its the impression you give and like the man says dont go complaining that guys are only after 1 thing | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 6:33:45 AM | "I'm looking for a knight in shining armour" (biggest cliche of all)
"A night in with a bottle of wine and a DVD" (pointless waste of ink)
"What can I say about myself?" (nothing worthwhile)
"Looking for a soul mate" (I've even seen sole mate)
"Kareoke" (It's karAoke you moron)
"Txt spk" (last time I looked this ain't a phone )
And that's just the start.
D-
Must try harder. | |

Posted: 3/24/2008 12:21:00 AM | thats something that bugs me, whenever i look at profiles and if i see that there s a photo of a guy with his shirt off, pecs on show, I tend to click off the profile, sorry, but it just seems really vain to me...
Text speak - Just seems like a excuse to use bad grammar and spelling
"I dont know what to say" - Its not that it seems un-inspiring, it just seems really boring to read because soooo many people write it!
*massive essays!* - the most annoying thing to me really, if a person feels the need to wrtie god knows how much about theirselfs it reads as:
1. I just LOVE myself
2. Im desperate...someone PLEASE date me!!!!
It just seems stupid to me to write alot about yourself, a little bit would suffice, not a massive thing about how your life is going and little tedious titbits that we just dont need to know, best thing to keep it short and simple, and not bore us all to tears.
And the big thing *dont lie on profiles!* A couple people I have met off this site I have caught out to be pathological liars...best thing is to be honest really, because if things get serious and stuff, then the lies will come out later. | |

men are visually driven, women are emotionally driven lol."
I have to counter that,yes a lot of men are just after a looker,but if anything in this day and age women are as likely, if not more so to go for a looker except that on top of that women will also often look for a man with loads of dosh and not height deficient.So to say women are "Emotionally driven" is a fallacy perpetuated by women to hide their "Shallowness", at least men do not hide the fact that for the most part they are shallow creatures.
You lot need to apply for grumpy old men/women,there would be enough to keep the programme running for at least 50 years, and before anyone says anything about "Pot,Kettle,Black" yes i am a grumpy old man. | |

Its not the height deficiency that's the problem, its "short angry man syndrome" you know the one where they constantly attack others, and have to mention it at every chance..

The above actually wasnt coined by a woman... i studied psychology, and it was actually a male professor who determined that men are visually driven and women emotionally.....
I don't think i "stole" it, its just a known fact in psychology.
shot down in flames......sorry.
and thats a new one...... no-one has ever called me shallow before, so i'll tick that box too, thankyou.
oh and.......i got enough "dosh" of my own thanks, not looking for money, or looks.. or height. damn... shot down again | |
