| what do you do when POF is tapped out????
Posted: 12/26/2006 6:21:32 PM | Well, I have chatted with several really nice men, but it seems like the pickins are gettin purty slim...the chat factor is getting kinda boring, not to mention no potentials. Most of you want to chat for a bit and then just meet for a drive-thru, uuugggg...so now what? Are there any real people here that want to meet good women or are you guys all playas?  | |

I am in love already and was like you women and tired of all the chit chat, not what im looking for guys.
don't look so hard and he will come.
xoxo
keep the faith

Posted: 12/26/2006 7:03:03 PM | OP- I don't think all the guys on here are players. That's a LOT of men to characterize that way.
Try another site. It's the same. You're bound to see the same men in your range of compatability. Eventually, new people come around. You were new once, too. Right? | |

Considering how long it took me to get my order the last time I went through The Jack In The Box Drive Thru, I could of had an uuugggg-uuugggg instead of just an uuugggg | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 8:00:16 PM | | Funny you should mention this. There are so many serious guys here( me included) but when we show ourselves, it seems they come up with a million other reasons not to give us a chance. I have been on here alomots a year and have had ONE woman contact me in theat whole time. | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 8:15:33 PM | | You get what you pay for. I'm slowly discovering that is what this site is all about. Too bad there's not a way to filter out women who are just looking for attention and fan mail, and men who are married or just looking for ***. My guess is half the members would be gone, if not more, if that could be made possible. | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 8:21:39 PM | woah...alotta negativity here...folks pof aint anymore or less effective than the real world...try not to make too many pronouncements on the lack or quality in "opposite gender" options..
Nobody will want me to say this but its true...what we think about most tends to become our reality...so sometimes we need to just be sure were really thinking and wanting the "right" things and not just thinking about all the things we dont want.
Odds are whichever one you think about the most...well thats the one you'll find.

Posted: 12/26/2006 8:32:03 PM | I think the bottom line is that if a person limits themselves to this site or any internet site for that matter, they may end up being disappointed and, well, limited. Theres a big ole world out there that goes beyond the internet. I think that folks forget that at times.
People met and fell in love long before Al Gore invented the internet. Maybe sometimes, getting back to the basics works better than anything else. | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 9:09:48 PM | don't give up,,,, there are lots of people to choose from on here. maybe take the time for more phone conversations before taking the time to meet for those "drive thru's" .this might make those quik meetings less dissapointing.  | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 10:00:18 PM | First of all, you've been a member for a lot less than a month. Second thing is, you can't be serious about thinking you have talked to the majority of men on this site. Third, I'll say it again, maybe you need to change the type that you are attracted to. Fourth, you obviously haven't read any of the forums in which nice guys as well as the guys you have run into give their opinions and discuss how they feel about certain subjects. If you're looking for someone with any type of depth at all, I suggest you start there. Fifth and final, if you hate it that much, just leave. Have a nice day.
...and when POF is tapped out, I'll go back to meeting women off the computer. Not much difference in the two, except people with fake profiles, pics and lifestyles. ...and even in person, you can be lied to and played. | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 10:25:14 PM | I totally agree with Kee2. It's funny how I hear from so many personals from ladies complaining about how guys just want sex, liars, players, and all the other negative attributes you can think of. I don't think it's the male species at fault, I believe it's the female who chooses to fall for those types of men. I don't have a beer gut, don't do drugs, never cheated on a girl, don't gamble, nor anyone of these types: a wife beater, child molester, drink alcohol everyday, religous fanatic, chain smoker, compulsive liar. But as a POF member for about two and half years I only had two ladies initates some type of communication and probably two or three responses with total of one actual date which lasted almost a month.
Here's another thing I have noticed with POF and craigslist, there are a lot of young single ladies and say under 40 years of age who has never got married but have a kid or more. I am just assuming here that they are just attracted to the wrong guys to begin with because they are long gone. I have been married once for four years, I would have had a kid but my spouse was getting her higher education. As an educated man, I respect and know that it's impossible for someone to have a kid or be pregnant and go to school. I still love my ex-wife, she is still a good friend of mine, but at that time I wanted the best for her and I knew that it would be at the best of interest for the child's future to have a financially stable household. | |

Posted: 12/26/2006 11:29:53 PM | I agree with you but from a different angle... It seems that I'm only getting responses to the "Grandma" generation (where they look like my Grandma!) or women from China... not goin' there either! I'm a young 51 (soon to be 52) and even though I don't think anyone younger than 40 would have an interest in me I feel that I have a lot to offer a woman of quality. Where are you??? I'm looking for someone worth committing to but at the same time I'm not going to commit to a woman who is looking for a guy to join her at "Leisure World"!

Posted: 12/27/2006 8:02:51 AM | 1) actually I have been on this site several times
2) i come back because there are cool people here that i do interact with
3) can you change the type of people you're atttracted to? I dont care if a man is fat & bald, if there is chemistry and he makes me laugh then I have no control over the attraction; same goes with what Im NOT attracted to. I simply have no control over it
4) did I say I hate this place? I simply posted an opinion, asked a question seeking some feedback | |

Posted: 12/27/2006 8:19:39 AM | | Wow, I am quite surprised at the responses...your 2nd paragraph has me a bit puzzled...what does it have to do with anything? Your implications are angering me a bit! Does the fact that I am now single yet have children make you assume I have never gotten married and tend to be attracted to the 'wrong' type of guy? I was married for 10 years and am raising our sons with the help of their father, for the childrens sake thats the way its always been. And being an educated man is meaningless in terms of this statement: I respect & know its impossible for someone to have a kid or be preg. and go to school! Thats a totally idiotic remark. Number 1, YOU COULD NEVER KNOW since you DONT HAVE A CHILD...and YOU'LL NEVER BE PREGNANT....It aint impossible darlin, I have raised my sons, gone to college and held quite equitable employment, thank you very much! Perhaps instead of agreeing with the likes of others, you should develop some opinions of your own...and maybe a personality while youre at it, who knows you may end up with a date!!! | |

Posted: 12/27/2006 9:03:55 AM | hey terrible,
just a thought...i think you may not have "chemical" control over who you are attracted to..but you have absolute control over who you decide to let into your life...
Dont give that power up....otherwise you'll find yourself in "certain" self destructive patterns in dating..
Believe me I know...like most of us..when were in a "bad mindset" we tend to find and attract people who confirm this...it is not a concious decision rather a subconcious one that sets our mind out to prove that "others arent ready"..when often i think its us ...who arent..
But honestly if you are meeting the same type of people than its time to look at your own role in the dating process...im not saying this to be mean...i say it from experience...

Posted: 12/27/2006 10:30:47 AM | Here's the deal from my perspective.
We can't be everyones cup of tea, nor can all the others be ours.
The way we define what we want eliminates many from being included, and that knife cuts both ways.
Women/Men can and will be players, but not all of them. Just like not all men and women are as goofy as me (they aren't as lucky) :)
So just roll with the cards ya get dealt, and trnasfer and resentment for lack of results towards something positive.
... slowly he steps off his soapbox and exits stage right...
