Posted: 9/14/2007 7:29:55 PM | | Ladies, a question for you all. Would any of you out there give a bad testimonial about someone on your favorites list? Especially if you had never met or talked to that man? I never would. And never have. This person who shall remain un named did that to me. She mentioned something i e-mailed to her in private, and she also warned you all to not date me because i have a low self esteem. Excuse me? That is the one thing i am NOT lacking in. Since then i have blocked this person. I would have figured out that a woman in her 50's would have grown up by now and left the grade school playground behind her. I guess i was wrong. Any thoughts? | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 7:52:34 PM | | I cant imagine doing that. No wait...I can imagine doing that, but I wouldnt.;) I have written only one testimonial, and he was someone I went out with. He was a doll, just a bit too young for me. | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 7:56:50 PM | That is what i mean. Get to know someone. Talk to them. Spend some time with them. But to talk or post behind someones back like that? And someone you really do not know? Very petty and childish. She is a real gem.  | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 8:02:43 PM | | Yup, you found a nut. Did you guys argue in the forums or something? I've been seeing hate running rampant lately. I know if I wasn't already with someone, I'd be calling the whole dating thing off now and getting a second lock on the door after all the stuff I've been reading. | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 8:06:57 PM | Nope. Never argued at all. And that is rare for me. I know at some point i am going to probably piss off someone some where. But not this time that i know of.  And she did indeed piss me off, but i never let on about that. Nor did i attack her like she did to me. | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 8:14:01 PM | | Karrpilot, you piss me off plenty but I would never get personal about it. Assuming the message you sent her wasn't inflammatory or disgusting, this lady is just a wack-job. Don't sweat it. | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 8:39:05 PM | Str8ahd, now i feel alot better knowing that i pissed you off and it was not personal.  She never gave me a chance to be disgusting or inflammatory. That is what made me feel cheap and violated. Just like real dating. But thank you all for your replys. I shall move on. I have a lot more damage to do  | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 8:44:39 PM | I would never post a negative testimonial; seems childish to me. Besides, I thought everyone knew that you can remove testimonials from your profile, so what is the point? If you had e-mailed me something really offensive, I would e-mail back asking for an explanation and tell you why I found it offensive - like a mature adult. Sorry that you ran across a bratty child in a woman's body. I would've figured anyone could be a grown-up by their 50's as well, but I guess we are both wrong there...(sigh)

Posted: 9/14/2007 9:30:46 PM | There are some twisted individuals on this site... it's the internet though... you have to expect it...
I had one such lady leave an unflattering testimonial which I promptly deleted. I then sent her a quick "Thank you" note and blocked her... end of story...
Welcome to the internet...
For what it's worth? How far removed are you from the schoolyard mentality if you feel the need to whine about it publicly? | |

Posted: 9/15/2007 5:56:46 AM | Well...actually...I've written bizarre testimonials for people who add me to their favorites list, don't email me, are from a far away place, and are not regular forum posters.
One guy actually wrote about the testimonial in his profile and added a big explanation about how I was the crazy one, not him. lol I have no idea why he didn't delete it. I got emails from women in his area asking me if he really did strip off his clothes and hop from table to table in the restaurant when I met him. I eventually removed myself from his favorites list and deleted the testimonial.
Oh, and one emailed me and was really pissed that I'd said he'd hooked me up to a tow chain and made me pull his truck out of the mud we were stuck in.
I've also written a testimonial and put on a "divorced" guy's profile immediately after meeting him (he was not the guy in the profile pic) and his wife, who had followed him to see where he was going. She had the kids in the car too. I explained exactly what had happened when I met him....very truthful and very necessary. I also reported him. His profile disappeared after a few days. I don't know if the site deleted it, he did, or his wife did. | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 1:21:21 PM | I always delete myself from people's favorites after a day or so. If they want to contact me, they will. If they don't want to contact me I am not interested in being on a conquest list.. hahahaha.
I, quite frankly, think the testimonials are nonsense. "Joe Blow is a very nice guy, and would be a wonderful catch for any woman".. and don't say the chemistry wasn't there for that person, but, may be for you. We KNOW that. I think it's all a lot like high school.
I am worthy on my own accord and I don't need friends or acquaintances trying to "sell" me. I am not interested in any testimonials that are written about other folks. I like to form my own opinion.

Posted: 9/16/2007 1:42:30 PM | | That is my point. Form your own opinion about someone. Go out with them, get to know them, etc. I have been on a few dates thru this site. Had good ones and not so good ones. But either way, i would never even think about flaming someone. | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 3:39:14 PM | I think the whole idea of testimonials is just plain dumb. I've seen testimonials where the girls are gushing over how great the guy is sexually. Is this supposed to impress me to want to date someone? Do i want to see a line up of your past dates and lovers? Some of them you have to wonder if the guy didn't just ask some friends to make stuff up for him, to make him look good.
Bottom line, If the person was so great, then why didnt they continue to date them? | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 4:53:54 PM | | I wouldn't write a testimonial about a guy if I didn't like him. Just because I didn't click with him shouldn't really matter to someone else that might like to go on a date with him. The two that I have met on the site thus far would not have gotten a good testimonials from me, but I don't think everyone on the site needs to access what happened. I believe people should learn from experiences and hopefully those two won't do the same thing in the future so my testimonial would prove to be pointless. (At least that's the hope). Those are guys that I have met...so I definitely would not write one for someone I didn't meet. I think creating stories is just childish. I mean even if they added you and you didn't know them, delete them and move on. People here need to learn to quite getting their kicks by offending, hurting, or insulting others. | |
