Posted: 5/24/2008 3:51:57 PM | This site has plenty of people on it. But no one seems to be serious. Ive been on plenty of fish for at least 2 years. No one 90% of the time ever writes back wether it be no thanks I found some one or just Im not interested. I have even changed my profile twice and its the same out come. I never show any disrespect in my profile or ignorance towards women, my pic is current along with the rest of my info. I dont think there is nothing wrong with the site its the quality of people on the site. | |

Posted: 5/25/2008 12:34:08 PM | Get out into the forums instead, MK.......you will meet new people and they will get a chance to know you.....you can't just stay home and expect to get known...you know?
Have fun here...if you take advantage of the other positives here and not just the "one"....you become a more interesting person to others...and yourself!
Try it...

Posted: 5/25/2008 1:59:50 PM | What's wrong with the ladies in the Cleveland area?
Mrkennedy, I am surprised you are not having better luck. Your one, kinda blurry, picture shows a good looking man with a friendly smile. Maybe you can add some more pictures??? Show more of yourself and your personality...maybe doing something.
Also...why do you restrict the women who can contact you to one year younger than you? Do you think if they are your age or a couple of years older they are "too old"? You might be missing out...big time.
Consider putting your profile up for review (there is a forum devoted to that) and give it a little more time. What's it gonna hurt? Not like it is costing you anything to be here.
Good luck and hang in there. | |

Posted: 5/25/2008 3:54:23 PM | Hi there, I am a 49 yo woman in Australia and I am having exactly the same experience as you. I'm also having the same experience on another site, 'rsvp.com.au' and had the same thing happening to me with Speed Dating. I have put it down to 'human nature'.
These sites are a microcosm of the real world, there are people on here that are serious and people that are time-wasters or 'tyre-kickers'. We can either get upset or we can think 'hey, if someone does not answer me then that is the Universe's way of protecting me from the wrong person'.
I think your basic profile is good, you look like a very nice-looking guy, I would put a photo on there that is not blurry, and take anything negative comments-wise off your profile.
Keep going and good luck, Mermayd :) | |

Posted: 5/26/2008 11:58:47 PM | | in regards to the (im out) I agree i was actually trying to delete my account and somehow found this... I have met a good looking user, losers, drunks, druggies, lier"s, men with old pic's, and men that can't read... because my ad clearly read Only cute and funny need apply... also the night of the imbred and uglies as well... men that are are 38 to 40 .. what is up with that, did they have a hard life??? because they all looked like 48 to 50 instead. My god!!! The way that i look at it is you get what you pay for.. and this is free. This POF has depressed me and made me doubt myself.. and i was never like that. I'm moving over to Lava and its not free... good luck you all on your deep sea fishing excursion. | |

You know what... you really need to read this B.S. over and over and over again and then look in the mirror before you start complaining about everyone on this website.
You sound like a real friggin' peach, Sparky. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 9:18:19 AM | | I always try to post a nice reply, unless they are a one word message, or ignorant in what they say. Oh, well..that's how us old folks do. Maybe trying raising the age limitation. Younguns tend to not correspond very articulately. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 1:43:20 PM | | If the quality of ppl on the site isn't so great then the site isn't so great. It may not be a good way to meet ppl. When you do meet someone and you go by a pic on a screen and a few emails the real thing can be quite a shock. Most ppl who meet and marry from my experience do so through work, friends and family. I just take internet dating in stride, not too seriously and figure "I'm here for a good time not a long time". If I'm not having a good time then time to check out! | |

No it means you finished, done , gone.
Just as many whack jobs on the forums as in the other side of the site....lol.
Seriously though, the forums are a god diversion when you lose interest in POF as a means of meeting new people. | |

All I can tell you is what I've been told. I know at least three guys who are very successful in meeting and getting whatever they were seeking from women online. Sometimes they're seeking a relationship, sometimes sex, but I've actually seen them get together with women they've met online. What is just as clear is that they also do well meeting women in person. So I listen to their advice, and I listen to advice in general, even though I usually hate to hear what I'm doing wrong.
I'm not a dating guru at all. If I was, I wouldn't deny it, but honestly I'm not. But I can tell you what I do know, and that is that your profile isn't good. Mine is OK, it does get me responses. I can say that I've learned a bit in my sporadic online dating history, and I've noticed better results since I started paying attention to how people react to my profile.
You can't please everyone, and you shouldn't try. A lot of advice that you get you have to examine and ask yourself "does this person represent the kind of person who I'd like to meet?" If they don't, then you probably shouldn't use their advice. Better to ask for advice, listen to the replies, look at the profiles of the people who gave you advice, and look at the people who like those people, and that will tell you most of what you need to know.
For the record, I've only met one lady on this site so far who I really wanted to meet, and she left the site, so oh well. My buddies tell me that they've been through the same thing, where they got to talking with someone, things seemed OK, and then she just left the site without any explanation, or even a goodbye. Oh well. For all that I know, you may have met quite a few women who you feel like you connect with. Better than me, but I'll keep an eye out anyway.
You said that 90% did not reply, which means that 10% did. For the record, that's the norm. ANY guy who sends out 100 reasonably thoughtful emails will almost certainly get at least 10 replies. You shouldn't view this as a problem. And remember that of the 10 who do reply, you aren't likely to date all 10. Probably 3 will be willing to date, and you might get a repeat date with 1. I'm not going to say that it's a numbers game, although it is. But to clarify, you are trying to find someone specific, and it will take a lot of searching.
If you don't think that POF is the right place for you, I'd consider why before jumping ship. I might decide to leave myself, but I'll have a reason. But no matter how you or I look at the situation, it's obvious that there must be someone on this site who I could date. It's just a matter of things lining up properly. All you can do is search. Anyone who keeps trying is destined to succeed. I'd leave this site only if I know that I've found something that works better. | |
