A man's idea of fun when said on POF...on the whole means that he wants his leg over.
Alot of guys see POf and other stes as an easy way to get a shag...sad I know, but true.
There are women/ girls on here who are happy to oblige them and so when you say tha you wont they then run.
Those guys are not worth a second thought...they are users and you are worth more than that.

Agree FUN on here means a quickie.

In all fairness though, I chat to some very nice men on here and they say there are women on this site who do "exactly" the same.

Maybe they can start a section "just" for a quick legover

In life men and women like a challenge and if something is too easy then it stops being fun.

If he says that he is a 'Fun Guy' then that means he is part of the mushroom family.

To me, fun means that the person is not serious about a relationship and just wants to play; whether that is in their interest list or sex. I have read a lot of women’s profiles that say that they are ‘looking for fun’, or ‘make me laugh’. I bypass these profiles without thinking twice. I know that life can be dull at times, but I am not looking to be an entertainer. I see these profiles as women who do not balance their own lives. I also equate it to be, even on a subconscious level, a woman’s way to say ‘show me that you’ve got money.’

When I am looking for fun, I am looking for fun, as defined below. Quit comparing all men to the pervs you are meeting. Some of us are grown ups with morals, possibly better than your own.

FUN:

1: what provides amusement or enjoyment; specifically : playful often boisterous action or speech
2: a mood for finding or making amusement

However, I am afraid that most guys probably mean what you ladies think they mean.

Fun on here means sex. They just want sex. In the real world fun means just that, haivng fun. Doing something you life and enjoy, either by yourself or with a date or with your mates.

Stay away from men on here who are looking for fun, unless you are wanting a one night stand as well.

Each to their own but I prefer fun as in not having sex with a strange man. Fun to me is laughing, giggling and doing what I enjoy and not having sex with a stranger.

I always thought having fun meant doing something that provides amusement, things that make you laugh- guess the rules are different on here. I'm learning...

well being an arrogant male chauvenist pig that you are i doubt you have an morals.

I agree with the girls, fun to me is not sex, its doing something you enjoy which dont mean having your clothes ripped off!!!!

And because i dont want to do that to get my fun, i dont expect to get mail from men "saying why not, everyone else does it, what makes you so special".

Its about time certain men on here, of a certain age, decided to grow up, and stop trying to relive their youth, and because their on tons of favourites, think it makes them a gigolo.

Coarlan: Why did you call that man a chauvenist pig,I think that was uncalled for, there are many women on here as bad if not worst then the men .I just fail to see why you think he is a pig ,unless you already know him personally. And as far as men growing up ,we all know that is not just for one gender.

Im not sure what it means.

To some it means banging right off the bat....

and some, it actually means hanging out, laughing, getting to know each other...

Thank you jesse. Though men are typically the ones that are quick to want physical pleasure, there are indeed women who want that as well. I've seen women who's prime interest is to be quick to want material pleasure (shopping, jewelry, etc...). If you ask me both are shallow pursuits and both sexes are prone to focusing too much on them. Also, isn't the term "chauvenist pig" overplayed? I've heard it too often used by people who are simply angry with a man and wish to sound smart but have no idea what the phrase actually means.

To turn this thread on it's head:
I'd like to ask what "fun" means in a different context. There are a ton of profiles on PoF where girls will say little more than "I like to have fun." I'm fairly sure that doesn't mean sex, but it's so vague that I usually pass by those profiles since the person didn't seem to give their description enough thought to try and actually engage someone checking it out.

What does "fun" mean when it's being used as something that's not sex?

"FUN" means getting it on ~ no strings attached, no drama ~ if it's satisfying, then more "FUN"

mtho, if it's not a hard one, it isn't sex. Not at my house.

Doesn't anyone go bowling any more?

I think this issue gets stated wrong over and over. I don't think anybody minds that people are on here looking for an intimate partner. What grinds so many gizzards is that these people (OK, men, fine) don't know how to ask for what they want. Generally, they lunge, grab, and mutter.

So, gentlemen! Fun is fun, which nobody can deny, but fun is not always welcome, let alone on offer. Let the lady at least have a chance to get used to your weird hair and that smell in your car. Practice taking an interest in her stories. Practice, otherwise, being gallant, as best you know what it is. Find something about her you like that isn't naked or slippery, and try talking about that for a minute.

Trust me, in comparison to the rest, she'll take you for a poet hero. And that's fun!

Cheers!

Hey OP... just like most adjectives, 'fun' is a relative term... what may be classified as fun for one person, may not be classified as fun for another. On PoF you have to take the entire profile into consideration to try to define the individuals 'fun' , then speak to the person if clarification is needed

Have Fun!

I am not from mars, I'm from the third rock... earth! The fun they are talking about could be many things. Sex, or just plain fun(I.E. parks, doing things they never done.. etc.) Psychology, or anyone else trying to understand the human brain are idoits trying to lure other idoits.
