| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/14/2008 11:59:16 PM | | I met very few people who even bothered to read my profile, let alone whom I was compatible with on any level. The few I did meet who were reasonable just weren't good matches for me. Seriously, this site is a joke. I'm tired of random sex solicitations and ignorant twits insulting me with their "clever" cracks at my expense. That's not how you win a lady over, guys, just so you know. Don't bother. Just go to or do some real-life searching. This site's not worth the time. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/15/2008 12:18:24 AM | | GOOD BYE CRUEL WORLD. as soon as i can figure it out, i'm deleteing my profile. i don't think i am 'that' bad... but... the results were VERY dissapointing. i hate to leave like a whiped dog, but for some odd reason, it is just pointless. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/15/2008 12:57:01 AM | | I have talked to a few women on here but i get the impression that they are talking to other guys as well.To me thats a huge turn off,the 1 thing i can give this site is that I havent had to waste any money,only my time.Good luck guys,youre gonna need it. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/15/2008 2:57:07 AM | | C'mon guys this cant be your only means of meeting women. Of course they are going to talk with other men, were all like kids in a candy store shopping from the comforts of our homes, office, or wherever. Have enough confidence in yourself that the fact she is in communication with other men means nothing. But the fact that she did shop around and picked you makes it all the more rewarding. At least you know she didnt settle on you. She chose to meet you because as I like to say "The cream always rises to the top" Try it again but this time have fun with it. It is what it is | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/15/2008 11:08:38 PM | | The OP was only here less than a month and she's given up. Sure we all have to trudge through the muck. And that can take time. But I bet that with a little more commitment in finding someone, and having patience, she might have found the right fishy for her. And that fishy just might have contacted her today. But 'tis too late. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/20/2008 9:28:19 AM | | You are right! Too many people take this online dating too serious. It is only one of many avenues to take to meet singles....hopefully they are single. I wish all of you luck. I have been with one on one match makes, table for 6, lunch meetings and it's all the same. | |

You want something serious, join a pay dating site. What does paying have to do with anything? When I look on pay sites, I see less women to chose from, and I have to pay to even talk to them. The only thing worse than asking someone out and the date flops is the fact that you had to pay $25 or more up front just to ASK them.
If you throw a profile up, don't include a photo, expect people to contact you without you sending out any e-mails of your own, AND you think the site is a joke to begin with, then no, you aren't going to find anyone. If you're serious about it, do some work on your own, put up decent pictures, and ask for profile reviews if something still isn't working, then you'll do fine. | |

You get what you pay for...
Weed out the crap and move on. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/20/2008 11:09:57 AM | | I believe the longer you are on this site the less it bothers you, at the beginning I was very naive as to what to expect. After being married to a "gentleman" it was hard to figure out the users and abusers. Now I can spot them a mile away. This is not my first time here so don't let my start date fool you. I've been solicited for a number of undesired events in the past and now I laugh at them......your skin has to thicken up to take on these characters. Don't let them get to you, take a break for awhile but come back strong and believe that this could possibly work for you. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/20/2008 11:20:40 AM | | I got on this site first in 2006 after a long term relationship breakup. Was on it til Nov 2006 and I felt the same way. I got back on in April of this year and though no bites yet, it's no big deal. It'd be the same in a nightclub or bar or wherever you go. And perhapsnow is so right, after awhile it's almost humorous. One thing I'm finding is I have to give credit to some of the younger guys. They take "sorry I'm not interested" far better than the older guys. I too got an insulting remark from an older guy and he blocked me out so I couldn't reply back to him - chickenshit. I've got some small shoulders so this crap just rolls off down hill. You should give it at least til the end of the year, after the holidays anyway. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/20/2008 11:35:27 AM | I met a guy who turns out; has a kid, is a ex-convict and soon to be again.....maybe p.o.f should screen better.....now i have to do the screening and it makes me seem real nice!! | |
|
| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 9:55:00 AM | | A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. NEVER GOT ONE MESSAGE. WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSER WOMEN TO PUT OUT AN ADD AND NEVER RESPOND TO ANY CONVERSASION TO FIND OUT ANYTHING.WHAT DO THEY WANT FOR NOTHING AND I AM SURE GLAD I NEVER PAID ANYTHING FOR THIS. | |
|
| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 10:15:03 AM | | This is the internet, don't you think that anyone can pretend to be anyone on the net? And screen would just be ridiculous....what are they going to do, make every single member give them their social security # and stuff so they can run a background check...This is just like reality, you go out meet and meet someone, they can lie to you just as easily as on this site. You got to realize that even though this is a dating site, people like to use it to just try and get laid....just get over it.... | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 10:23:09 AM | | Oh for petes sake! You were here HOW LONG? My gosh if you're that impatient i can see why you haven't found anybody! This is not some magical place you can come to where there are unicorns and Prince Charmings, this is a site to meet people. Some you will like, some you won't! You take the good with the bad just like in the real world, so put on your big girl panties and get on with it! JMO | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 10:29:10 AM | | There's good and bad people everywhere not just on this site. Either you want to take the time to find the right one or you don't. You want to give up - you'll just be single forever. Yes there does seem to be more solicitation of sex on this site than the paying ones - so if you don't want that - say no. There is plenty of solicitation of sex no matter where you go - I get it at clubs - work - everywhere. Men and women do it too - it's not all on the guys. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 10:35:24 AM | Rockfish... I checked out your profile...I would consider changing a few things then perhaps the ladies would get a better idea as to who you are and what you are looking for, its just a suggestion. Keep trying | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 11:02:06 AM | I couldn't have said it much better myself. I joined this site three days ago, and have had a lot of response. I think there are a lot of good women on here, and I think that this site is far more interesting than any other singles site I have checked out (about 10). A person could spend all day every day reading the interesting comments that people have made to some very interesting topics. Of course, in reading some people's profiles or commentary elsewhere, I am amazed at how uneducated and ignorant some people seem to be. I wonder about how much thought they actually put into the things they say.
By the way, it isn't the only means of meeting women, but meeting them in person isn't so easy for those of us that live in the woods in a small community, and don't go to bars or other social events. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 11:02:36 AM | oh come now people i was married since i was 16 and just got separted at 38 and i am not going to just take whatever comes along first.I talk to lotsa guys not just one .I am not dating a handfull or sleeping with them so whats wrong with chating to 5 guys at once.You have to start out beening freinds not just jump into a relationship what better way to know if thats the person for you???????????????????Also i have kids to worry about so I do not want just any guy so i am picky and if wrong tuff chit.This my and my kids life no the nets life.So stop whinning that you got no date or nobody talks to you,cause i tell you now not to be mean i would never date a man that whines about somthing so small.it takes time. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 1:35:49 PM | With my past experiences have been glooomy from this site.
I have meet jerks and nice people.
Have had my share of games and i find many women are seeing other men. I meet one woman that was hanging out with 3 different men.
From this site a while back i meet a woman at a restraunt and face to face she told me she had a bf. The bill was 35 bucks but i said i will pay you taught me a valuable lesson. Some women use this site to get the much needed positive reinforcement and attention the guy who they never mention on this site are getting. Restraunts a way out or movies to gifts and items.
Women who are dating men already are looking for better or they are a week out of a relationship.
In two cases i just wanted to beat the parents for the way they raised their daughter. People never have had rough times and its a defining moment on why in the hell would one ever want to get married and have kids.
If i ever got married i am anal about who that would be.
Just from past meetings i am not satisfied and a bit distraught to who is out there and this site.
Dont give up go to the park go to a college university on opening day lot of women. | |

| This site did nothing for me Posted: 8/22/2008 1:47:21 PM | Hi Roses by Moonlight,
Man, did you ever miss the boat. This site didn't "do" anything for anybody. When you get on here, you've got to make it happen for yourself.
Now get back in there and start driving, instead of riding. This isn't a bus. Get on the stick. | |
