| Those 10 pics at the top
Posted: 5/22/2006 10:00:18 PM | I wonder if I'm the only one.....I see these 10 or so pics at the top of the page when I check my email or whatever....and one just jumps out at me....I have no idea why. I read his profile....we aren't looking for the same things, don't have much in common....can't explain why it is, but my heart skips a beat and I drool over that pic. (It isn't a naked chest pic, and there is nothing that would normally set him apart from the rest.) It's just me...and I'd die before I'd let him know.... Am I weird? Or are there others who experience the same thing? (I guess we all have our little secrets, huh?)

Thanks for the reassurance, Carribeanwinds. That's not usually like me...I just look at his pic and mutter, "Why YOU? How do you have this hold over me?"
But you'd think that once I see that there is nothing in common, that the animal magnetism would stop...wouldn't ya think? But no...every time it comes up, I have to spend the first 10 seconds drooling....lol! Makes me feel like a school girl....

Posted: 5/23/2006 6:42:01 AM | | I travel the world by clicking on those picks. I start out looking at someone who posted something, then another one catches my eye, and in no time I am staring at the profile of a woman several thousands of miles away. It's my version of jet setting. | |

Posted: 5/23/2006 9:12:33 AM | I just looked and the guy is on "0" favorites lists... Guess this just goes to show..... about when guys whine about looks being everything and any woman who says they aren't is lying. We always say that what looks are perfect to one person, may not be perfect to another. Here I am, 'lusting' , and others aren't even paying attention!! 
Just my Opinion, I agree that opposites attract, and if I was in a 'normal' situation, maybe I'd contact him. My situation, though, is that while I'm listed as being in Ohio, I'm actually really far away, waiting on my house to sell, so I don't feel it's 'right' to contact ANYONE since I can't go out with them, and have no idea how long it'll be till I CAN.
Big Red Flag, I know what you mean...one post leads to a profile, which leads to another post, which leads to another profile....fun, huh?

Posted: 5/23/2006 1:11:18 PM | Tee, like I said in the original post, we don't seem to have much in common, not looking for the same thing...(I don't THINK...for one thing, he doesn't restrict someone wanting an intimate encounter from contacting him). I wasn't saying this to get encouragement to get together with him or anything...(I've already got a couple of guys I plan to meet and see how it goes).
I was just surprised that of all the guys pics I look at on a daily basis on here, that I feel 'so much chemistry' for this one all of a sudden....(don't know if he is new, or I just suddenly noticed him)....and wondered if that happened to anyone else. I'm not saying that there aren't a lot of 'hot guys' on here...there ARE....my reaction to this one with no words exchanged..and actually before I even read his profile...just caught me off guard. I mean, gee! It gets awful hot sitting here at my computer sometimes!!! LOL!!!

Posted: 5/23/2006 2:41:03 PM | Yeah, OP, I know how you feel. Fortunately that has not happened to me here...

Posted: 5/23/2006 3:43:00 PM | | Ahaha, I know this feeling. It's very strange. And to think that this person lives close to me too, is quite a worry. I often wonder what I'd do if I ever saw him in 'real life'... | |

Posted: 5/23/2006 3:56:58 PM | | I've met some of the coolest folks here that way...see em at the top & email em up; doesn't mean you can't be friends, does it? | |

Posted: 5/23/2006 5:36:22 PM | Aurora, know what’s funny? I KNOW I read your profile before because I’ve seen you in the forums, (and I like a lot of your posts), but I never noticed this part until now….
And all of this is assuming that your picture produces that magical "spark" that must happen in three seconds or less. …Maybe because all of a sudden it hits home???? Lol …… and why do you say ‘fortunately’….like it’s a bad thing?
Tortured….I see that YOU know what I'm saying, for sure. Weird, huh? You said….
I often wonder what I'd do if I ever saw him in 'real life'... ….my problem is….I’m AFRAID of what I’d do if I saw him in ‘real life’!!!!….(just kiddin’)
Josh, I don’t know why…I'm just weird that way, I guess…(I'm also somewhat shy…) Your profile says you are a bit shy at first, too….you REALLY don’t understand?
Fry_lock, You’re right, it doesn’t mean we can’t be friends..(and I can drool behind closed doors, right? Lol )…but if their profile says anything else besides friends, I don’t feel I have the ‘right’ to initiate contact on here, other than to comment on a forum posting.
Am I wrong? Funny, I'll contact girls who are many miles away, but I KNOW they want friends, but with guys, I figure if I'm not close to where they are, they will figure, ‘WTF?’. If I'm wrong, that would be nice to know, as I have never initiated contact because of the fact that I'm in this weird situation and have no idea how long it will be like this….

Posted: 5/23/2006 6:26:14 PM | Oh Good Gravy Woman----Just say Hi to the guy!!! It's harmless and the only thing you "risk" is getting to know him better---for whatever comes of that! Tell him you like his photo and would like to know more----that's innocent enough!!
Good luck!! | |

Posted: 5/23/2006 7:34:05 PM | | I understand the shy thing but this is the internet, by talking to him you wouldn't be committing to anything. Also if you were extremely shy you wouldn't have put up any pics of yourself, I think women should initiate conversation as well as men. ;) | |

Posted: 5/24/2006 5:08:14 AM | JWA and Josh, you gave me something to think about, but like I said earlier, I wasn't looking to actually meet him...just was surprised at the intensity of my feelings. WOW! ...and I guess someone ELSE is looking at him too, as he is on someone's favorite list now....maybe he IS new. (I hate that you can't tell unless they post in a forum thread- not that it really matters....sometimes I'm curious, though.)
I will be thinking about what you guys said, though.

Posted: 5/24/2006 5:36:22 AM | DC...just because he has "0" favs doesn not mean he is not liked by others...some people on here delete people that have them on their favs list...they just like it to be clean...GO for it...say you like his profile...if he's got a good one...but, by no means say something that isn't true...just go in...say hey, I saw you on here, and thought I'd send you a little Hello...if he's at all interested...he will get back to you...Good Luck!!

Posted: 5/24/2006 6:00:35 AM | NO, you are not wierd- it is called =instant lust- and chemisty. My friend calls these pic, the Mr Roger's POF neighborhood- (sit back and enjoy the show- but, it doesn't last). I have my own FAVORITE- that I too - drool over--However, I have the advantage- as he is on my favorites list- Anytime, I want to lust after him- I look at his pic and imagine...... LMAO- and I would never tell him.... but, he knows-.......... or maybe he does not!! Dreams are made for the imagination to enjoy........all the way.............

Posted: 5/24/2006 6:49:12 AM | Micheline, I know it doesn't mean he isn't liked by others....although I thought maybe he hadn't been 'discovered'.....(as in being 'MY gold mine'...just kiddin')
His profile is pretty average..he sounds honest, as he gives more info than he needs to, and honesty is a biggie with me.
Haven't decided about the contacting him part....some fantasys are better left as fantasys....know what I mean? As I told JWA and Josh, I'm still thinking.....I just added him to my favs...got tired of hunting for him every time I wanted a 'drool' session, ya know? lol He doesn't seem to come on every day......
I keep reading his profile for something to comment on that would make it easy, but like I said, we don't share many of the same interests, which makes it hard to think of something to say. The only interest we share is movies. What do you say to THAT? "Hi! What kind of movies do you like?" seems so cheesy.....

one just jumps out at me
How interesting. If a man makes this same post, all the femi-nazis come out screaming for his head because he is shallow and is just attracted by physical appearance.... and here's a woman saying she gets dewey drawers over a photo.
Just an observation.... | |

so? does his profile say anything to indicate that he's looking for an intimate encounter? some of us just don't bother to restict anyone from contacting us
I presently don't have that restriction on my profile,
but that's definitely not what I'm looking for | |

Posted: 5/24/2006 7:39:19 AM | talk about OVER-analyzing things!!! Jeeze. Relax, take a few deep breaths, count to 10, take a cold shower.
Then either say hi to the guy (whatever happens happens....WTF) or, simply keep admiring the photo. Good lord.....it can't be that confusing. It's called physical attraction. That's it, nada mas. It doesn't mean anything...you like his looks, that's all. He could be the best guy on this site or he could be a psycho serial killer...but either way, you think he's phsycially attractive. Eye candy. | |

Posted: 5/24/2006 7:42:22 AM | That has happened to me twice since I've been here - once in the ten pics at top and once when I started hanging in the forums - it's hard to explain but the pic just jumps out and grabs you by the heart for some reason - like you're destined to be with that person.
In 6 months I've thrown the dice and contacted both - one never returned my email (no big deal) and the other who lives miles away doesn't appear to have interest but he's been kind enuf and polite in responding.
It's been fun tho - living briefly in a little fantasy world  | |

Posted: 5/24/2006 7:50:54 AM | if someone is always in the top 10 pics, that means that they are e-mailing other PoFers like crazy.
ladies, if a guy interests you, contact them for criminy sakes. | |
