| Plenty of fish Posted: 2/16/2011 10:54:51 AM | I lol'd at "have been on three weeks". Most people have been on here longer than three years. | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 3/19/2011 11:52:16 AM | Complete and utter waste of space, completely full of ignorant and arrogant women (and no doubt, men) who cannot even have the decency to READ most of the messages I send, let alone respond!.I have NO problems with people not being interested and sending a "thank you but no thank you reply" BUT the ignorance of those who dont even READ what you send, makes me so angry.Whats 30 secs when someone has taken the time and trouble to compose and send a message? 4+ years on this sad site, without ONE first date!...complete waste of space.And before any bright spark says its cos you havent got a pic on your profile, up til today i had a few on there, but have decided that I can't do any worse than I have done, without one , so took them off!. The only good thing about this site is that its free and NO worse than the "paid" sites either, which are just as useless!! | |
|
| Plenty of fish Posted: 3/19/2011 2:09:49 PM | Other than taking the pic(s) off, is that the same profile you've had all this time?
You know the definition of insanity don't you? | |
|
| Plenty of fish Posted: 5/3/2011 5:54:34 PM | | don't feel bad i haven't met any one . so don't like it get you down like the saying goes good things come to those who wait tired of waiting lol. | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 9/30/2011 10:20:28 AM | | I've got a few, but I am going to another country to live where they dont have this site, so I lose out too. | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 10/1/2011 6:32:25 AM | | I think the problem here is being too choosy. That's not to say that we should lower our standards, but when you meet someone in a bar or wherever, you think they're attractive, have a chat, see if you get along. You don't assess their interests and beliefs first. I often ended up with women who in some ways I don't have much in common with, but our personalities clicked. The whole nature of online dating results in people being unwilling to just have a chat and see if they get on with you, meaning that we all miss out on people who we might have got together with if we'd met 'traditionally'. | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 10/3/2011 11:21:17 PM | | Do not dispair my brother. It is not your time yet. The best things in life are free! I actually found the most amazing woman I have ever known in my life. I am dropping all of my subscriptions to this type of service because I feel I found exactly the woman I have been praying for over the last ten years. God is good, God is great! | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 10/13/2011 7:12:08 AM | Where would you suggest they go?
you do realize in the olden days (you know when your parents played with the dinosaurs) that people met in person. They could not hide behind a computer and be and do anything they wanted. They were out there making friends, meeting people and perchance finding romance.
Where did this happen? At that time church was the centre of the social scene. Some met people at work that hit it off. And there were public dances (mostly for the teen crowd) where everyone got together. After all swaying to music is legal in public.
As this is no longer viable, and at an old age for dating (widowed) it is difficult to find the right venue. IMO bars don't cut it - altering your consciousness to be social just doesn't seem to help.
I find from my experience that all the men seem to want to do is write e-mails. I presume them to be more visual than females, but few will take a chance on love, despite what their resume may read. | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 10/13/2011 10:15:47 AM | | jmmevolve: Men write emails because they want to meet these women. I would prefer to meet people in person. You're right, bars don't really cut it. You're mostly bumping into people that are looking for one night stands or people that go to the bar too often. All of my relationships started by meeting someone though friends or at school. Only one of them started online, and I was introduced to her by a friend. What do you mean that few men will take a chance on love? | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 11/1/2011 12:34:52 AM | | You have to kiss a lot of frogs to get a prince. It is like that in life too. Of course you will get a lot of wrongs, but there are all kinds of people one here. You have to be patient on any site, just like in live. | |
|
| Plenty of fish Posted: 11/6/2011 7:02:49 AM | Perhaps we get out of it what we put in? I do find that few in my age group are willing to 'take a chance on love' or friendship. After all, if a meeting does not reap the love of your life, it sure can mean a new friend.
I just spent over a year of my time and energy getting to know someone who wasn't the match I wanted, but they are a friend. He called every day and kept in touch - woman like that - and we shared our lives for a time. Thankfully he found a love for his life.
Expectations can be a killer to good relationships. | |

| Plenty of fish Posted: 11/6/2011 7:11:08 AM | BTW Taking a Chance on Love is a song. Perhaps we can all put our laments to music. lol
Every relationships - no matter what label we apply - is about love in some of its dressings up or down. Friendship, companionship, soul mates, mutual attraction, call it what you will - but figure out exactly what you want before expecting someone else's label to help you. | |
