Posted: 8/13/2007 11:04:52 PM | I live where everyone knows everyone. I don't go to bars or clubs. I go to work and come home. I don't work in a job where I meet dateable people. So what's a girl supposed to do?? I live close to Missouri , but not having any luck there either....
I just wondered what is up with men in Arkansas??? I never see anyone new online. Always the same ones. I just get really frustrated. | |

Obviously you are not having any luck there. Ever thought of moving to Illinois? | |

Posted: 9/30/2007 11:20:02 AM | | I have been in Arkansas since Feb of this year. I have met the following types of men. Disheveled and poor, fat with health issues and not taking care of himself, handsome as the****ns but wants weird sex, just like anyplace else. The fact that most southerners stay in or near the town they were born in has to be a handicap. So reach beyond your comfortable zone.... | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 11:27:02 AM | I have met some real jerks. Most of the men think if they take you out to dinner that you will be the dessert afterwards.There are still ladies that enjoy dating. I love to go out and have a good time but that doesn't mean I will hop into bed with anything that moves. Are there any real gentlemen left? | |

Posted: 11/12/2007 12:14:26 PM | The sober, sane, intelligent ones in NE AR seem to all be taken! There are a lot of married ones lookin', some who just want to take a look, and that's it. So far, they're too young, too old, too sick, too silly, too set in their ways or don't leave their neighborhood and want you to come get them....Sometimes I wonder if I oughta move back to Texas...naw, can't make a decent living there, lol! | |

Posted: 11/29/2007 8:11:33 AM | I live in southern Arkansas, and it's not much better down here. I've met a few people, but most never get past a few e-mails. There doesn't seem to be a large number of quality single people - in any age group - around here. Though I did just meet a nice guy from here and he has restored my faith in Arkansas men.
We should get this Arkansas forum hopping. There has to be more of us than this.

Posted: 12/10/2007 2:19:52 AM | I've lived in Arkansas almost all of my life and I am relatively new to POF. I am not here looking for a date or a mate; just checking out the scenery and looking forward to meeting those in my area and making some new friends. On line or otherwise. I'm just an average woman, no Beauty Queen by far, a daughter, mother, and a friend. A few extra pounds, and quite a few years of wisdom, to go along with any of my other lil flaws. Nobodys perfect and yet... there is someone for everyone, when it's meant to be.
I agree with those here that said we should get this Arkansas forum hopping, as well as, a few of the other posts.
I believe we are all here because we want to meet others, or else we would not be here.
Maybe setting up group meetings in the areas that people live, would be a start. They wouldn't have to be held in a club or bar. There's pizza parlors, other resturaunts that have group rooms, parks with pavillions (weather permitting), etc. Setting the groups meetings up by interests, or a variety. (after all, opposites can and do attract) It's always easier said than done, and all things need to be planned. Since I haven't done much here, other than my profile, and exchange mail with the few I have met on here, I am still learning my way around this site, so all that I am saying here is just my opinion. I just think that if a group of people in an area or close to a particular area, is interested in meeting others, then a group setting helps to cut down the fears that most people have when meeting someone for the first time, and honestly, it's much safer that way. There's less pressure if the chemistry is not there. Stop looking so hard might help, or broaden your interests. Find a hobby that you may like, that might make you more compatible with others that are here. Sometimes when we are not looking, that's when we meet those that interests us the most. It's okay to set your standards and expectations high, but don't overlook someone just by a photo alone. There are good and decent people in Arkansas, and we do have to remember that a lot of men have been hurt too.
Nobody likes rejection, men or women.
Regarding another post I read here;
Again, this is just my own opinion; Being too judgemental of another because of a few extra pounds, not being a Knock Out Gorgeous person, or health issues, etc., could possibly cause one to miss out on the friendship, or mate, of a lifetime. We tend to seek and judge based on what we see on the outside, from looks alone, and what we think we want, and then, we end up with an Encounter we wish we Never had. (Pictures are great, but they don't show who, or how a person, really is.) Just something to think about. :) "Beauty is only skin deep, and true beauty, is that which comes from within."
"To find true happiness, one must first be happy within oneself, before one can be happy with another."
Good Luck! | |

Posted: 12/15/2007 12:57:21 PM | | Well you might be able to find someone half way decent.....but you can't find love or anything serious here in this area. I don't know why or what is up with the men locally, but it is shame. But you can find good men out there...even those who will probably be willing to travel to see you. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 8:51:30 AM | WOW! lots of disappointed people.
I have met and made some wonderful friends on here. We still stay in touch. yeah there are some bad apples out here, but there are still some gentlemen around. Ya'll make me laugh though. All the women make it sound like all the men are losers and the women are real prizes!. Well i have met and talked to a bunch on here that are real pieces of work. You just have to keep an open mind and not group everyone together. Life and love is what YOU make it. Dont expect a Prince or Princess charming to magically appear and make YOUR life better. Not going to happen without a lil work on your part. | |

Posted: 1/11/2008 2:31:30 PM | There are a ton of decent people around. And I say that as a pretty jaded guy. I've had a LOT of women hurt me but have yet to really give up hope. As for the people that think you can't find someone decent cause it's Arkansas, don't get stuck on stupid. I teach people to drive 18 wheelers for a living and because of my other job as a firearms instructor I have friends all over. I take time off all over the country. Arkansas has the same mix of good and bad people as every other place, actually I have to say, there are probably MORE good, hard working, trust worthy people here than a lot of other areas. Just about all of us here on POF are pretty jaded for one reason or another and tend to be a bit cynical. The standard attitude being "what's wrong with THEM". All to often people aren't critical enough of themselves and try to lie and convince themselves that they are actually happy the way they are.
That's rarely the case. Couple that with an ever growing sense of entitlement among people, and you tend to lose the selflessness needed to make a great relationship. But instead lets blame it on everyone else or the state. | |
