| don't give up , there are some really great people on POF !
Posted: 7/17/2008 6:17:37 PM | i like to read the forums and see how other people are doing in this crazy internet dating world ! lol i have read lots of posts where people are upset and ready to give up. i just want to tell all of them not to lose heart , keep looking !
i spent about a year on these dating sites , and i was feeling like it was all just abig waste of time. them one day i clicked on the profile of what appeared to be a very attractive young woman . that day changed my life ! things started slow , lots of chatting and messaging . it was hard to get her to trust me at first ( she had met alot of jerks online )
but i'm glad i didm't give up on her because she is one in a million ! sweet , smart , funny, and totally beautiful ! i want to marry this girl and have kids !! lol
anyhow i just wanted to let people know that good things happen every day on POF and that you should never give up on your dreams ! | |

I know when it comes to a free site like this one, you get what you so called pay for which is a whole lot of nuttin. I'm not going to sit here and whine about it so good luck and congrats. | |

Posted: 6/29/2009 8:01:36 AM | i really liked a pro-file i viewed lately--a nice pic of a young woman in a tight black dress- but after going to the pro-file it was a differen't story--the pic was at least 12 years old and mixed in with the updated ones....yet despite this...the woman could only repeatedly say--"thats me in the black dress".wtf?
if we all could only go back in time.
if she can lie to her-self this easily,whats does that say ? | |

Posted: 7/20/2009 3:44:47 PM | | Its not the fact I want to give up (I still meet and talk to people offline, and to me it works way better..I feel more comfortable talking to someone face to face) its that from my experience here it doesn't matter how many times you change your profile up or how creative you try to be the outcome remains the same, "read deleted" "unread deleted" once in awhile, or just "read" and no response back. I don't know why that is. I don't want to pull a "race card" but I find that when I try to talk to people outside my race (me being black) It's like people don't want to talk to you. I thought that was absurd at first till I asked some people if they were having the same situation and to my surprise their experience was the same as mine, so I'm not alone. I really do think people act way different here than in person or they have their standards higher than they normally would offline. I have proof to this. I once messaged someone a long while back and didn't get a response. Time went by and I was out with some friends at a nightclub. Low and behold I seen the same girl I messaged on here. The funny part was that this girl was all talking to me and vibing me. I don't forget a face, so I knew I remembered message her. I didn't really pursue her because of how I was treated on here. Anyway, to me I think that's dumb to act different here than offline because technically you still do not know the person so why should your standards be any different from online to off line? By the way I did write her a creative message. Oh well, I guess it it what it is.....damn, didn't know I wrote so much, LOL!! | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 7:01:05 PM | | Use to have a profile up for almost two years nothing??...Took it off now this one's been up about a month....had 1 date she told me it was the best date she ever had. Talked to me on the phone after the date. She was calling me even on her lunch break, was supposed to take me out today but did not call me at all today, nothing???...no e-mail nada. So women say have a profile with content. I think my profile is not bad like it. So now what? I'm not in any favorite lists but what ever. I write good messages say something about their profile A little joke but never going too far cute and simple. I dont know, I dont think Im bad looking and I can hold a conversation. If you look at most the testimony's on here its mostly women on here saying they found someone great. Well I dont know but Im losing hope fast and Im seriously thinking about giving up this online dating thing. | |

Posted: 7/29/2009 10:04:19 PM | I've been on online dating sites for a year and a half now - I've tried Chemistry, Match, POF, and more recently, OKcupid. I'm definitely frustrated by the near-total dearth of response, but I'm not giving up just yet...but I am close.
What really makes the process tiresome, however, is messaging potential match after potential match after potential match. You find a girl you're interested in and decide to contact her. However, after so many it's hard to put a lot of energy into that first "hello." You wind up spamming canned greetings with perfunctory references to one or more of her interests and eventually get emotionally detached from what is supposed to be a very emotional process.
Eh, maybe online dating isn't for me anyways... | |
