Not much really goes on at this site.
Didn't work for me.
The women aren't very talkitive either.
But it is internet dating so what can you really expect?
I wish good luck to the people on here though!!!

Not working for me either, but then I didn't think it would.
So I don't lose much.
And I agree that it's internet dating for the vast majority.
False damaged women and player cheating men (accrding to the women).

Yeah...you keepers have been here...what? Less than a week?
In terms of actual fishing that's like casting and reeling in once then saying there's no fish in that lake because you didn't catch anything.

No effort = no rewards.

Now hit the road.

THIS DOES NOT PERTAIN TO THE LADY ABOVE. ;o)

Used another profile on here before and been on a couple of other dating sites, same results I' afraid.

It's as boring as you want it to be. The responsibility for making it work for us is ours.

Boring is as boring does.

Totally agree! But if it's only the minority who want it to work, as it appears to be, then can it?

Here's a friends take on internet dating.

"The woman from ---- I went to see still hasn't got back to me. Looks like they are all time wasters living their drab little lives and reluctant to drag themselves out of their apathy."

I think for most guys it is pretty boring on here. I come on POF, blow the dust out of my mailbox because there is usually nothing else there. Then I go to to my sent mail so I can see how many read and deleted messages I wasted time writing. Then stop by here to read and possibly reply to few messages before I go out into the real world where the odds aren't as stacked against me as they are here.

piscescoda & briar :

How many emails do you get a day? 50 or a hundred? God, what fun it would be to have so many people to pick and choose from. I think it's a lot different from a lot of guy's standpoints. Many guys are lucky if they get 5 emails a month. And a lot of those are replies saying sorry you aren't my type, you're not 6'4" with the build of Charles Atlas, the personality of a rock star, and the finances of a wall street mogul.

Maybe when I'm on 150 favorites lists, this place will be a bit more exciting. At the rate I'm going though, I'll have been dead about 140 years, but hey.......who's counting. Hopefully I'll find someone like myself who has had enough of the B.S. and is looking for a decent human being like I am way before that.

But why should anyone else dare to complain when you two are having such a good time and living it up?

And before anyone attacks me, I'm just fine with the site, I think it's a popularity contest and a nice trip back to high school mentality for the most part. But it has worked a few times for me.

A friend said that, not me. As you haven't meet me or tried to communicate with me you can't comment.

I'd say it's because leaving after 6 days is pretty f*cking lame. Unfortunately I didn't get the option to vote, though.

Wow, "A week and the poor guys leaving already"..."This isnt one stop shopping"... ....Youd better buck up and grow a set nads...Internet dating isnt for the faint of heart..If your smart enough and hang around long enough maybe you will gather a few nice female friends along the way...Who knows...The computer screen is really small compared to the rest of the world..ISNT IT!

Must be absolute losers, you two. I've been here two weeks, have tthree pages of emails, most from very delightful ladies; but then I'm a lot older and a whole bunch smarter.

Mister G, What were you really expecting so fast. Maybe you should redo your profile and see if you can make yourself more interesting.
I am not really looking to meet anyone now, but I do enjoy the forums, when I am at home alone and I find them very good. I like a lot of other people's take on things and think that I would really like to meet some of them. Don't be so quick to throw in the towel.

Yes I agree I have been on here off and on for a few yrs and have met some great guys and some real losers. Why do we get hooked on this online dating thing? and we do... men and women. We all have someone out there for us ...how long does it take to find him or her? I wish it was tomorrow...yeah I'm a dreamer but a realist to and I know what I want and won't settle for less. Guess I'll just keep looking.

Ranger Pete, you are a 60 year old single man in the retirement capitol of the USA, for chrissakes!!?!?! If you didn't realise that, no you're not smarter. You are also the proverbial kid in a candy shop, here or on any other dating site (or in person, too, I'd bet). Why is it that people who get things handed to them on a silver platter cannot understand why it so hard for others? Example, a friend of mine, the owner of a grocery store, cannot fathom how his cashiers can't make ends meet on $16,000 a year, because he is so insulated from them on his salary of about 8 times a year.

Yes there are a lot of sucessful stories on this site, I've had a few decent dates, but there are bound to be just as many, probably more unsucessful stories. Why do people feel the need to rub their victories in the faces of those who came here because they thought it would be different, and wanted to vent because they found it wasn't, or even, maybe a bit worse? People that are that sucessful on here, surely must be able to do at least okay out in the "real world" as it is so often refered to here. If not, would it be out of line to say that maybe they have some problems too, and just conceal them better in the "unreal" internet world?

And a last note, to everyone that says they are tired of the "pity threads", how come they get read so much more than the "good news" threads. I think we all know the answers to that--misery loves company is one, and there are quite a few folks that can't resist kicking someone when they're down.

ready4somethingfun, Ranger Pete :
I think ready4somethingfun has hit on something, that if you're in the right place at the right time then it's easy for you on these sites and in real life. In the UK it's rubbish for me, but in Spain recently I got loads of winks/emails/chat requests. Even arranged a date very quickly. Much easier in real life too ( had a girlfriend there for 8 1/2 years ). Sadly I had to return to the UK.
