| Back In the Pond... Posted: 5/16/2008 5:18:18 PM | i say give up, for some reason people who are online forget that being rude or ignorant is allowable because of the anonymity. Either guys are sex fiends or woman flooded with messages and assume all guys are freaks.  | |

| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 5:29:43 AM | | I worded that incorrectly. | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 6:47:17 AM | All I have met on here is wonderful people.
Not one 'sex fiend', or any other variety of sociopath of any kind.
If they aren't wonderful to my way of thinking, I don't meet them...
It's truly that simple....
Check into The Law of Attraction folks (it Googles)
It IS real...
it does play out in our lives in a powerful way..

| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 9:45:01 AM | | Update: I have to say that I was in a rush to judge. Yes, there have been some jerks, but yesterday I got to chat with 2 lovely GENTLEMEN, one from Australia and the other from Ireland. Hmmm........maybe it was because they weren't the typical American guy........who knows? | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 10:21:53 AM | Methinks there are good ones and not so good ones in every country!
Nice to see you at the fishing pond again :-}}}!!! | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 11:06:13 AM | Why quit? You just never know what is around the corner. What is for you will not go past you, it might take a few wrong corners but you will meet when you least expect it. Just remember you have to be friends before you become lovers. When you are old and grey converstation is very important. I have 2 friends who met their partners 1 met his wife the other met her husband.......so for now i wont be giving up! I have made a couple of really good male friends through this site, really genuine guys with no hidden agenda. That said I have also chatted to a few nutters and men who really should go to marriage guidance.
Dont give up and believe in karma :-}  | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 11:22:49 AM | Nice knowing you I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.
Thank you so much for the good times I am sure you will be missed by so many people a decent nurse is so hard to find just like finding a hard man I'm told.
Thanks for stopping by and think of two ships passing in the night  | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 11:48:33 AM | | .....ditto Ms. Dragon heart , I sure hear that. fish: | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 12:22:45 PM | | well just my 2 cents worth ive only been on here for maybe just over a month but already have met 3 wonderful ladies though didnt click with first two. What you have to remember is that it all takes time and getting frustrated although natural to do is not going to get you the good guy your looking for. I have been "read deleted" so many times that I dont think there are any left in my area for me to be interested in lol. Take heart though because ther will be someone out there for you just as I know there is someone out there for me only dont limit yourself to just this one pond you have to fish from several if hyou want to catch what your looking for. | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 12:34:18 PM | I guess we should just not give up here or anywhere, but there are no guarranttees in any thing or any where in life.
But i guess as this is a free website, people do not feel committed to make effort whilst on line, or not the niceset people might be on line!! i know i am being snob here ,....but...
Lol | |

| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 1:06:55 PM | There's nothing wrong with this pond. It's a reflection of the world around us, so has fishies of all shapes, sizes, colors, strengths, weaknesses, rich, poor, dysfunctional, well-adjusted, intellectual, dumb.....you name it.
Like anywhere, people are single for all sorts of reasons and circumstances. Some, like me, are only half-heartedly looking and not really dedicated to putting forth the time, effort, and money to find compatibility. Some are taking a break and recharging. Some are trying way too hard and probably scaring potentials off. Some are not trying at all, evidently preferring to leave things up to fate and luck.
To me, threads like these are counterproductive exercises in futility by desperately trying to give some meaning to all the failure. The problem isn't out there to "fix"; it's within the one that's single.
If you want to -- have a positive attitude, bait your hook well, relax, and happy hunting. If you're not really serious about finding someone, avoid believing it's everyone else's fault and understand your own limitations/outlook may be hindering the process. | |

| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 1:40:30 PM | | I have experienced the same thing with the women. | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 2:19:12 PM | You might as well just leave your profile up here. After all it doesn't cost you anything and it might help you in some way. Just don't rely on it seems to be the way to go.
I suspect that I'm going to be increasingly bitter like a few of the various people who've posted to say that they're leaving. All I'm really looking for is an intelligent girl with brown hair and glasses. Out of the hundreds of ladies on these sites there never seem to be more than 3 per site, and these 3 each have multiple flaws that I can't overlook like smoking and living a long way away. Somehow this simple request is too much to ask for, so I'm feeling some of your frustration here.
What sort of guy are/were you looking for?
What's this about get-togethers? I've never heard about any singles nights organised by pof before. | |

| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 2:51:54 PM | You say you have met the man you are going to marry, and you have already moved in with him ??....Then why are you still on here ??....and please don't try to tell me it's because you like the fourms or some other lame excuse like that. I am glad you found someone, he must be a real "catch"...especially with his ability to over-look your kindergarten like spelling. | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/17/2008 2:52:14 PM | Most POF'ers should least come by table say Hi hello, or ****The meet and greets are exactly that>>> most know me and should come by table and least say hello... thats a start , then mingle, just when you least expect it, love creeps up on you..... isn't that a song Don;t try so ard thats when it will.... | |

Call me jaded or cynical, but when a guy writes you off after putting in their profile they are everything you want, then when you respond they are a jerk, it makes one cynical and jaded.
Some guy told you that he is everything you want and you believed it? | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/18/2008 4:57:17 AM | See what I mean! I put on my profile that I was no longer looking and got a reply! I swear the men on here are totally NUTS!  | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/18/2008 5:26:00 AM | | so do I, the women here want nothing to do with a good, sentimental guy like me, they want the strong, sexy arm candy type, never the good guy, the nice guy, so nutes to this site, I'm going to try something else! | |
|
| I quit Posted: 5/18/2008 9:10:59 AM | | There's plent of trailor trash on paid sites. By far the most bizarre experience I had was on Millionaire Match. Every other email was from a professional hustler. WOW! Another thing that bust-by-titties is people that expect a response without a decent picture. I mean, I'm looking for someone I would NOTICE IN REAL LIFE, PUBLICLY. This doesn't mean drop dead handsome, either. Also, I want to read something about you--that you have a brain in your head . . . .. . . . I don't want to be the alpha doggy all the time. | |
