Posted: 4/25/2005 9:26:06 AM | Nothing in my mail but spam. Nope, again today as most every day, nothing from PileO'Fish except read deleted or unread deleted. I have read statistically, that the ratio of men to women is five to one respectively. For every one hundred satisfied ladies leaves four hundred gents reading the deleted column of POF. But week after week, month after month, I see the same ladies, many of whom have done me a delete. So what I believe I am seeing here is a game being played by those specifically requesting no games allowed. The game has got to be musical chairs, the mating version. The lady is deluged with potential suitors, but instead of choosing one, she plays “Pop Goes the Weasel” while we dance around her mulberry bush as she takes the chairs away before the music stops. If, in fact, she does go out with a man, she is thinking ahead to another lined up the next day never getting to really know anyone at all.
About., about., that is, almost everyone in this pile, lives in the animation world of fair maidens and handsome princes. That is, that we are that maiden or prince and the other is standing (or sitting) by the pond in the lost forest, next to the castle, on the other side of the flowery meadow that the yellow brick road leads that we are skipping along, and yes Toto is there to, only to find we should have taken the third star to the left and go straight on till morning (that is, those of us that go straight).
Now where is this all leading? Nowhere! Exactly the place most of us have gone with this. The ladies by some confused choice. The men by unsurmountable overwhelming odds against them. What we enter into believing it will be a clear pond with plenty of fish ends up a dry mud hole, and a pile of fish.

that the ratio of men to women is five to one respectively
Around 2:1 on POF, ......1.8:1 for Canadians. | |

Posted: 4/25/2005 1:00:38 PM | CWC42,
It's funny...from previous experience on this site I would have to say that it is the other way around. I sent brief messages to 5 gentlemen on this site in one day...and only 1 had the decency to reply. Maybe they are waiting for something better to come along...as they are probably bombarded by attractive, model slim young women who will throw themselves at them. They must not be looking for the "older model" woman who seems to have all her books on the shelves!!
Like I said, it goes both ways.
I try to respond to everyone who sends me a message even if it is to say "thanks, but no thanks"...if there is anyone that I have forgotten to reply to and that someone is annoyed then I'll say right now "I'm sorry".
Maybe one day CWC42 the pond will become clear once again! | |

Posted: 4/27/2005 5:09:20 AM | and to add to the woman to man ratio....
if i recall correctly, admin once posted the average age of users and it was around 25 (which is much younger than other dating sites). being that you are 52, this may also lead to you receiving less replies as well...
simply a thought............. | |

Posted: 4/27/2005 10:25:38 AM | Hey all...
CW, thanks for making me laugh...your profile is also very witty. I agree, the average age here seems to be that of your local high school...
Have you tried other sites???
Perhaps join a group or class...you may meet someone with similar interests to your's...
I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet...when your not paying attention is when she'll waltz right on in to your life...and ask you to dance : )
Chin up Mr...

Posted: 4/27/2005 10:36:01 AM | | I have to agree with the above ^^^ posters, this is a great site for meeting people, not necessarily everyone answers emails, just like in the real world not everyone is polite, but I have found a few really nice people here and am dating one now, hell even if you dont' date you sure do get to learn alot about people through the forums, they are funny and very educational sometimes!!! good luck and keep fishing! | |
