you would be surprised 2 see what the guys are doing Page 1 of 2    (1, 2)
I know I was . Today my daughter picked me up at work and we decided to go for a drink at one of the neighborhood bars that we both have been to many times. There were 3 guys at the the free internet computer and I happened to glance over and they had brought up " plenty of fish " at first I was freaking out... I thought " oh my god what if I happen to come up on the screen "!! and here I am .. but they were looking at younger ladies .. there is a god:)

but the bad thing is they were making fun of almost everyone and if they were not making fun they were making derogatory remarks about the good looking ones . M y daughter and I noticed though that there are women who are really trying to be sexy and that is what they probably want anyway .. but the thing is... I never thought that my profile or any one else's would be brought up at a bar for a bunch of guys together to make fun of . I feel weird now... keep that in mind I know I will now !!!

Honestly, this is a free site and half the pics and profiles are BS anyway. You should see some of the ones I make fun of LOL. Of course I'm here in my apt and in the confines/comfort of my own home and not out in public. So who cares where people are looking. I'm sure they came across your pic and laughed all the way to the outhouse.

Is your self esteem so low that you care if random strangers are laughing at you? I don't even care about what people I know think of me.
As for whether the guys here take this site seriously, have you not noticed the many b1tching and whining threads posted here?

I am only responsible for my own actions, and I don't worry about anyone else's unless they harm some one. People can make fun of me all they want - lol I do . It really is a case of little boys, being little boys.

Yeah they make fun looking while with their buddies - but I bet ya - one went home to wack off over a few they saw and one actually contacted a few women they saw and who knows what else !! What should happen though is they should grow up and get a freakin' life! Immature!

If you put your picture on a public site you need to be ready to accept the public ridicule. There are few people who can claim they have never made fun of another person. We are all guilty of it, its our nature. If it weren't true, there would be no unread/delete, or people who say "must have a picture" to email them.

Just remember - they were 3 guys in a bar - probably already drunk or well on their way.... if they had any redeeming qualities at all, wouldn't they be out on a date?

Those who can, do. Those who can't, look and laugh.....

Hey hey, I resent that. I'm just back from a bar with 4 other guys. I have redeeming qualities, though I'm not overtly inclined to demonstrate them to someone who would make such blanket statements.

Not to say that the guys making the stupid jokes were any prizes.

I bet ya not. With all the pics and videos of absolutely stunning women with no clothes on easily available, you still think a guy would wack off over a pretty face. Duh!
Nobody needs POF for visual stimulation.

I really thought maybe this is not right trying to hook up on the internet with strangers.... put yourself in my shoes .. you at a bar and 3 women are making fun of and slagging all the profiles that came up of all you men

Even the good looking girls? How dare they do such a thing, we all know good looking people are more deserving of respect. Is it Ok then if they laugh at the ugly people?
If I'm at a bar and people are laughing at men's profiles on POF, it wouldn't bother me. I'm sure people here at POF laugh at profiles all the time, and (hold your breath) even dish out abuse for it in some of the forum posts. Some of the profiles here are laughable, they may be drunk and/or immature, they may have OD'd on mushrooms and will laugh at anything, who cares?
Take the advice from the other posters, you're on a public forum here with personal info and pics of you available. That automatically puts you at risk. You may want to look into the option of hiding your profile from others. There are some profiles here I cannot view when I'm not logged in.

Not to defend those guys, but we all have to admit, there is plenty of laughs on plenty of fish.

But lets face it... couple of guys in a bar with real live women all around them... and they are online looking at an Internet dating sight? I wouldn't worry about being made fun of.

OP ? I really wouldn't worry about it too much. There are always those who put themselves above others. You are a pretty little lady and you shouldn't compare yourself to those other "good looking gals" as you put it. We are all beautiful in our own right. As for those who laugh and poke fun? They are shallow indeed girlie! Pick up yer socks and dont let them initimidate!

The only thing that suprises me is that they had nothing better to do at a bar then flip open a laptop and look and laugh at online ladies. Seriously, why not maybe talk to a woman that's actually there or something. Seems silly to me.
But honestly, who cares hun? Even if they did come across your picture and laugh, it's not a big deal, they really aren't worth as much thought as you're putting into this situation.

yeah, it's easy to forget that this really is the World-Wide web... sometimes it's easy to slip into typing whatever's in our mind as if we were writing in a diary or something... but there can always be repercussions... and "big brother watching"... eek!

i try to be aware so that no matter who sees what i write none of it would be stuff i'd be ashamed of others seeing (embarrassed, yes, sometimes.. lol) and none of the photos would be too hard to live down.. of course, being single and not running for prime minister, i have a little more leeway than i might do otherwise..
