Posted: 12/31/2007 11:43:27 AM | Here are my thoughts for what it is worth. I never believed in a million years I could meet someone like I did, but I did join the site with a positive but realistic attitude.
Hey, you might close your account and miss that special someone. It doesn't cost anything and any way of increasing your chances of meeting that special someone or even new friends has to be worth a wee bit of effort.
Go on, keep on fishing.

Posted: 12/31/2007 12:39:57 PM | | Agree with mountain, not much use for this site either. Seems women use these sites for personal entertainment. They e-mail up to the point where you want to meet them or finally trust one enough and give them your phone number and don't here from them again. Sorry to the one young lady who said its entertaining, yea for you, but time consuming for us and a waste of time and resourse. I was warned to stay off these sites, guess I had to learn for myself. | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 1:05:48 PM | I have to point out that the two young men who are disillusioned with this site have been on here 6 weeks, and the other one week....
Did you expect instant gratification? Good Lord! If true love were that easy to find, do you think it would be such a hot topic of debate, the basis for all those love songs? Do you think you would value it if you could pluck it off a tree like an apple?
I didn't read your profiles, so I don't know how old you are, or how desperate you might have sounded, but your attitude has TONS to do with how well you do on this site. The fact that you are ready to chunk it in after trying "so hard" for so short of a time says it all to me.
Take it as a learning experience, don't take this as the end all and be all of dating. | |

Posted: 12/31/2007 1:29:31 PM | Okay, I did read your profiles. Sorry Lukng4trulv, ...one young man and one mature man...
Let me say that posting a pic helps! If the women you are talking to have been on here for some time, they've been burned before most likely. And DO NOT post only a pic of yourself that you took in your bathroom mirror with your camera phone...
Lukng4trulv, your profile sounds like the type that I would respond to if you lived anywhere within reasonable distance to me.
I don't know if you have seen that email floating around comparing women to apples. Some are within easy reach, some are too ripe and have fallen on the ground, they are easy to get, but poor quality. Not many men take the time to climb to the top of the tree to get the better ones growing there.
Haven't you ever met some new people and the ones who are the easiest to get to know turn out to be the shallowest? Look for the one sitting off to the side taking everything in, and get to know them. You will have a much better chance of finding a keeper that way.
Don't be afraid to expend some effort, don't be afraid to climb. That's my best advice...

Posted: 1/2/2008 2:50:08 AM | Happy New Year!!!
Ok... don't blame the site... please. People have devoted time, and hard work to create a dating site for FREE!!! C'mon ppl! Try the other sites (you all know which ones I'm talking about) they don't work any better than this one.
Time, patience, positivity (did I spell that right... I know there's spell correctors on here too ;)), well I haven't had such luck as to meet the man to steal my heart, or vice versa yet... but I'll hang in here yet. I know it's frustrating.
But, the self pity threads, well they speak volumes man...
The forums are great, you can truly relate to what some people say on here, and at the very least have an entertaining time reading a 'cat fight'  (OK that green guy is a pickle, he's not a banana ok?? would you ever eat a green banana?? ick) | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 3:39:27 AM | The site is great and most of all it's FREE!! dont blame the site for the people who are on it.......Do you think they have the where it all to monitor all the losers who sign up some most probably with fake pics and made up personal info?
How many average janes have you sent your mails to and how many beautiful and glamourous looking women? Your answer will tell you if you set your own self up for a fall....
Just be happy that there is somewhere you can meet people for free and not have to pay an arm and a leg to be on a site nowhere better than this one......
This world and this site owes nothing to you or anyone..... is my opinion....
So you meet a bunch of losers and liars.....you meet people who dont know their own mind but they will tell you everyone they have met here and it didn't work out dont....... If you are really serious about finding a relationship.....and are not looking for that reclusive movie star look alike to feed your ego........you will....this can just be a testing ground to help you learn the minds that people have....... Toughen up! | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 4:24:32 AM | | I have not met the man of my dreams--face to face here yet (seen some great profiles) but have connected with some wonderful people(men and women) via email and forums; have been exposed to lots of new ideas. Gotten some good advice and some I ignored. Shared some laughs with both, flirts with the guys(even if they lived too far away). I have had a great time here and it did not cost me a cent. But I think the difference here is I am not looking to get laid in the next 24 hours............ | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 4:54:22 AM | | It's sad when people have to abuse drugs and alcohol then make other people put up with their ignorance. On the other hand, I am probably giving too much credit here. This person probably doesn't have to use drugs. Stupidity comes natural to some people. | |

The 2 people that complained are still members.
The one member that had..well I am still trying to decipher what they said... left; and we care why?
Really... I'm shocked

| don't hate on POF
Posted: 1/2/2008 5:33:45 AM | I've been here a week now, and this place doesn't work! POF, why haven't you sent the woman of my dreams straight into my arms? I'm taking my ball and going home! [/all your fault POF]
Wow! So people were rude and insensitive online? You don't say... Your first day on the internet perhaps? Welcome! Did you get your basket yet?
I don't understand why people feel the need to burn their bridges on their way out of POF (don't forget the std "you suck, POF" thread). Why not keep that back door open? No one says you have to come here everyday/often, but just simply keeping your profile alive could net you that catch when you least expect it.
I think POF is wonderful. I'm making lots of new contacts. If nothing else, my time here is worth it just reading the forums. It can be funny, sad and even disturbing at times. I do not enjoy the suffering of others, but watching grown-ups act like 6 yr olds is fascinating to me. Always entertaining, often in a trainwreck sort of way. I'll admit, it's a guilty pleasure.
Never give up... | |

Posted: 1/3/2008 11:39:03 PM | | The only way that I have found this site helpful is by helping me find some good friends, and even then, out of all of the people I've talked to on this site, I can count on one hand how many I actually keep in contact with and continue to talk to. I've come close to deleting from this site many times because I find a lot of the men on here to be rude, arrogant and ignorant. They all seem to think with the wrong head and seem to believe that since it's the internet, it means that they can stop treating women with respect. It gets old and tiring when you get countless IM's and messages asking for sexual encounters, when I clearly state in my profile that that is the last thing that I'm on here for. Even when it comes to message restrictions, that helps somewhat, but not a whole lot. I'm just tired of dealing with all of the rude men on here and that'd be my only reason for quitting. I'm sure it's quite helpful to a lot of people, but it's not helpful to me. | |

Posted: 1/4/2008 4:50:24 AM | | lukng4trulv49: I read your profile, and just to let you know, I would never consider starting anything with a man who is not fully divorced. I even state that in my profile. I know there are a lot of women on here who feel the same way, so that might be the reason they don't follow through with you. It's great that you are honest and tell the truth about your status. And while I can't speak for your situation, I don't know you, but in my past experience, there is way too much drama in that situation and things do not always turn out as expected. Maybe the women you contacted felt the same way. | |

Do you really have to post before you leave? That's crazy...
No, you don't. It's just an option for people who found someone on here to hopefully tell everyone about their success before they leave. I deleted an account once, and it didn't make me leave a testimonial.
What's crazy is that after going through the trouble of making a post b!tching about the fact that they thought they HAD to make a post, the OP still didn't delete his account. | |
