| | just wanted to say good byePage 1 of 2 (1, 2) | | hmmm the internet is a very funny thing. I have alot of mixed thoughts about this site. MOstly good. I am a person who trusts too easily and wears her heart on her sleeve. I dont believe that the internet dating is a good thing for someone like me. Im going to go back to the old fashion way, I have faith that when it is meant to be it will be. Good luck to everyone. anyone with my personal email address may feel free to contact me at anytime that you so choose. Thank you very much to most all of you on here. and it is a good way for some people to meet or chat as friends. So dont give up, everyone has that special someone out there. | |

Posted: 10/23/2007 7:50:15 AM | Real Good,
I couldn't have put it any more perfectly. I am sure that POF is a good site. As for me I found it to be full of wannabes, fakes, false pretenses, and those that like to lead you on. So for everyone on here, I wish you the best and good luck in finding what you want. To all that emailed me, thank you for taking the time to do so. To one in particular, if she reads this, I hope you are more honest the next time.

Posted: 11/18/2007 5:39:09 AM | | I too think POF is a good site. I have been here for about 6 months or so. I beleive the site is great to make some friends, but only a lucky few ever find a mate here. Many here say they want a honest and good guy, but they pass them up for the bad boys. I think first, you have to be honest with yourself and really know what you want in life as I do, before you can be sucessfull in finding a mate. Also, you have to like yourself before you can find a mate and I'm finding many here don't know a thing about themselves. I've pretty much gave up finding someone here ( I enjoy reading the forums) and will go back to the ole fashion way to meeting. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 1:51:29 PM | | I too have had great disapointment in POF. I have been a member for some time now and yet I have only recived TWO responces. One of those people I consider a great friend. Thanks Mel for being that one good friend. So what about the rest of you people on here? What the hell are you even on the site for if your not even gonna write to anyone or respond to anyopne that writes to you? I have found that the people on this site are VERY RUDE. And I dont mean that just because they havent written back to me either. I say that because when I first heard about a POF party, I decided to go. WHY?? Because I thought to myself that perhaps the reason people werent responding to me, was because they didnt know me very well. So I went to this POF party in the hopes of at least getting to talk to a few ladies and possibly meet some new friends. Well let me tell you all something. I was never treated so rudely in my whole life. Every time I tried to even TALK to someone. They just brushed me off as if I wasnt even there. I had ladies that litterally turned their backs to me while I tried to engage in conversation with them. Hell they wouldnt even say "Hello" to me. Why are you ladies even on this site? Its a DATING site, remember?? A place to MEET people, go on a DATE with them, get to KNOW them. But the people I ran into at the POF party had their noses so high in the air its any wonder they didnt get a nose bleed. So GUYS, good luck tryin to get ANYWHERE with these stuck-up people. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 2:16:51 PM | When I first came here. My feelings were hurt by those who would not respond or even delete my message. This led me to think about leaving it to. But, in my infinite wisdom I thought ...what if she IS on here! I'm only looking for one "fish". Even if I have to deal with some woman that are...not my type. Bottom line is I KNOW that there is one out there for me and I intend on finding her . Maybe, just maybe, she's on here. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 2:47:34 PM | | I absolutely agree with message 5 &7. Many women say they want honesty - what they mean is honesty from the man, NOT from themselves! Reminds me of a joke I heard: What is the difference between a "Pro" and a wife/girlfriend who insists on you buying them an expensive item before they 'sleep' with you? Answer: The "Pro" is MORE honest about her intentions!! | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 3:10:23 PM | posters #7 and #8...are your reaching for those beauty queens (untouchables) that NO ONE seems to be able to get without flasing their goldcard and having homes in all the desirable places on earth, expensive cars and large bank accounts?
Are you aiming too high? have you tried the nice, attractive down to earth girls...or are you passing them up? Give THAT a try...you are both decent looking...so makes me wonder HMMM???? | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 3:42:50 PM | Well.. to each their own.. I look at it this way: On here, I can have fun with it, and take it for what it's worth... I can meet people, lots of people, without leaving the confines of My hermit's lair, and don't have to drive to Fayetteville or Lumberton to frequent the bars, and run the risk of a DUI. I can get to actually know someone a bit, and take My time doing so, and don't have to worry about hearing "LAST CALL!" Also, I don't have to face rejection from the "soldier hunters" who already have 6.5 G.I's on speed dial on their cell (the .5 is usually the one they're working on in the same bar I am in) I have recent photos up, if they don't like whatthey see, they can move on and it's totally pailless as I usually know nothing about it. They can read my profile and see I'm a clown, and get a general idea of whether they like me or not.ANY place you meet someone, you take a risk... You'll get the proverbial "pink smoke" blown up your butt from a bad apple in the bar, Walmart, Church, or anywhere people congregate NOT just on line. Back to the "bar scene" again.. I'll blow 40-60 bucks EASY in a bar having fun and looking for Ms. Goodbar. Online, I can drink a beer & paroose profile & photos, take a shot (or several) at women I think are out of My league, minimize rejection, and actually put myself on almost the same choosy footing at the Soldier Hunters in Fayetteville. I also don't have to have a Military LES (Leave & Earning Statement) a six pack under my shirt (that went away when I started keeping 12 packs in the fridge) AND, I don't have to do PT (physical training) at 5:30AM! I did that all YEARS ago, annd earned the right to be somewhat out of shape with My age. It still is nice though, when a young girl strokes My ego.. another wonderful benefit of the online dating/meeting experience! Plus, I've met a LOT of great people, women and men online I can party & be friends with. If You don't take online dating TOO seriously,.. it's a pretty good medium... read My profile and I think you'll see how I look at it.  | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 3:59:12 PM | There are always mixed results on sites, it all depends on the people involved. I have been lucky and met some great people on here that I woul dhave never crossed paths with any other way. The main view I have is this is a place to meet people like that, find out basic info, and then meet in person? You don't have to be dumb about it, public place, etc - just as if you were meeting them the "old fashioned way". You don't want to date on the internet, I learned that lesson, but you can meet on the internet! There are jerks and princesses everywhere, but there are also some good people. Thanks to all the ones I have met!

Posted: 12/10/2007 4:21:03 PM | I'm Like Domino's.. I deliver! My job takes me all over the country...like a bad penny, you never know where I'm going to show up! I tried to read your profile, & see where you are, but it won't show up for me. You should drop me a line, & send me a photo. If nothing else, there's always pen=pals or phone buddies!  | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 5:25:02 PM | | Yep, gotta agree with him on that. I've found a lot of woman aren't into serious relationships anymore. Only a select few are ever lucky. Thanks anyways POF! Good luck to everyone! :) | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 6:06:20 PM | | I know that I've been coming across as a sarcastic, awful, 'redneck'. But seriously, can someone please explain to me why so many women here have "not single/not looking" in their profiles?? Isn't this a DATING site after all?? And if they aren't single, do their S.O. know they have profiles up ?? If you are "not single/not looking", WHY have a profile at all?? Remember: Truth & Honesty in the replies. | |

Posted: 12/10/2007 7:00:00 PM | If according to the owner of this site 45% of those who leave, leave because they've found a mate, how does that translate into " a select few"? The ol' sour grapes thang, perhaps?
I know a mess of peeps who've found a mate here, and is happy as clams. Maybe some peeps need to redirect their attention to what/who they are seeking, and how they are going about that. . . .

Posted: 12/11/2007 10:19:18 AM | For example, my profile says - not single, not looking. I met my bf through this site, but also met alot of great friends. This is a way for me to stay in communication with them, and meet new ones. This is a dating site, but it also has the chat/email option - which means it can be used for friends........doesnt it?
Best of luck to everyone, you never know what tomorrow may bring!

Posted: 12/24/2007 1:33:45 PM | I've noticed, more than a few of the ladies here do not make first contact ?? Don't you think if you were serous you'd take advantage of all your options ?  | |
|

Posted: 1/2/2008 8:28:03 AM | | I have communicated with men who are only on here to chat with women and to arrange for discreet sexual encounters even though their marital status is down as divorced. Life is full of people that cannot be truthful. I pride myself on being able to be honest as sometimes surprises are not pleasant when found out down the road. | |
