If anybody finds out I would like to know what espectations are too.
I am thinking it is some sort of psychic ESP assesment.
My expectations on the other hand have changed since coming on line.
Initially I was looking for my Romeo. Now I look for my daily smiles from all of the friends I have met. Sadly most of them are Juliettes (even the boys ) | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 10:00:49 AM | I suppose the best way to figure what the average POF user wants is to look at both angles.
I have a friend that was really big into POF. He went on and on about how much action he got. He said he had to work for it but it paid off about once or twice a month. That was what he was looking for, here he found it.
Reading as many profiles as i have on women they seem to have a few things in common. One, no games, no drama. I think this is because there are many of the above mentioned men out there. So women have either been bitten or veered away.
Also, which is the worst in my opinion, women wait. Statistics say that 75% of men on POF start the initial conversation. What statistics have not mentioned is the continuous work afterwards that men must follow up on, according to my buddy. So, women scorn through their many emails picking which to take interest in. You cant blame them, its much easier fishing when the fish come to you. Unfortunately for women that most of these fish have teeth.
It takes a little more than a forum post to change the way people think, so your best bet is to adapt. How? Be the statistic maybe. Write, wait, write some more. Or, just read below about women say about this post. Please no generic 'just be yourself', something a little more specific. | |

how so true, and one must learn from it.
here are a few quotes to ponder about men and women :
-Friedrich Nietzsche-
Women are considered deep - why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
If a woman possesses manly virtues one should run away from her; and if she does not possess them she runs away from herself.
It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 11:18:22 AM | | I don't have any expectations with this site. If you have expectations then you might be let down. So, why go through that? I have friends who have met Mr. Wonderful and friends who have met Miss Psycho. Take it with a grain of salt. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 12:03:55 PM | What you put into this site is what you will get out of it.
If you are looking to hop into bed, chances are you can find that no problem. If you are looking for friends, chances are you will find that. If you are looking for love and romance, it is out there as well, but like anything, it ain't going to fall in your lap.
I joined this site almost 2 years ago with no interest in dating. I joined because I moved to a new province and needed a way to meet people. By the end of the first summer (less than 6 months) it had far surpassed my wildest expectation. Now two years later I have friends all over this great province.
But funniest of all, while making friends and firmly stating that I am not dating material, and do NOT want a relationship, I accidentally started dating someone. Go figure!
Don't sit and wait for mail. Get out to the gatherings. Meet people. Don't prowl, just go with the hopes of meeting new people, and having fun. Chanceds are that is exactly what you will get. And most women here are much more open to going for coffee with someone they met at a gathering... | |

I agree, no problem hopping into bed. The case of whether that bed-hopping is a solo experience or not can be a problem however. 
Dang, there goes another bed-spring!

Posted: 2/26/2008 4:14:18 PM | I find you get what you put into internet dating as a whole. I have met a lot of nice woman on here over that last few months but no really connections as of yet. You have to play the odds and unfortunately statistically they are against you. I have been single for sometime now and I am not willing to just settle for the first person that comes along. Over the years I have connected with a few woman and this has led to few long term relationships but nothing that has panned out to be permanent as of yet. I have had about a dozen coffee dates in the last couple of months and I have to admit it is hard work going through the profiles and filtering out potential dates. I think I need to take a bit of a break for the next month or two.
I know I have a lot to offer as far as I have a good job, own my own place, not raising children or in the middle of any messy divorce, so I do not have a lot of extra financial or emotional baggage. I am not bad looking and comparatively to others my age I am not in too bad of shape either. There are a lot of wonderful nice single people out there but I want someone in my life that can bring as much into a relationship as I have, without the extra financial or emotional baggage. At my age I would like to enjoy life and have fun without taking on extra unnecessary burdens. Love or infatuation can only go so far but but after some time when reality sets in we have to deal with the extra emotional or financial stresses this can bring us.

Posted: 2/26/2008 4:28:17 PM | When I joined POF I must admit I had expectations of finding 'the one' ....but now I just expect a good laugh, some food for thought, and a few cat fights here in the forums.......

I'm not going to comment on your spelling/typo, but the fact that you put this > < smilie after that particular sentence is really ****ing creepy.
I came here expecting to find a lot of losers. And when I started posting in the forums, I expected to be hated. I've not been disappointed on either account.
Thanks PoF, for making my dreams come true. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 4:44:40 PM | I found POF a bit over 2 1/2 years ago. What caught my eye was the "events". I needed to get out and become social again ,I guess. I went to my first event and met some great people...then another , and another and lo and behold.....I had a social circle of friends. Then my bud "Masterfisher" started a motorcyle riding event. Then "Dreamer" kept it going . We went through one riding season , going out almost every Sunday and did a few things together as a group, through the winter. In the second season of riding a new person joined the group....we rode together through the summer, then started being an "item".......I married her last September.....And I wasn't even looking..........funny how things come to you when yer not looking huh....So I would say POF far exceded MY expectations..........
Cheers..........and ride safe | |

1. Plenty of mis-spelled thread topic headings.
2. Plenty of socially retarded people displaying a complete lack of common courtesy, manifested, in most cases, by a refusal to reply to even the most polite emails. (Which explains why they're single!! )
3. Some interesting online encounters with people all over the world.
4. The very slight possibility of actually meeting someone in person. (Actually, I HAVE met a few people from here in person, so it DOES happen!!) | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 6:38:39 PM | | ^ Your expectations sound very realistic to me. I don't really have great expectations of the site. It is what you make it, like most things in life. If you are really serious about dating then you will do the email thing and favourites thing. You will make your profile stand out and you won't say stupid things in the forums that people can see when your profile comes up. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 6:42:59 PM | In the dating game the other person does not owe you anything as far as a response. Is it right? I will leave that up to you to judge but then that is the dating game. They are telling you they are not interested, so you just move on.
As I said in an earlier post, I have had coffee dates with about a dozen woman in the last month or so. So it does happen. You have to be somewhat persistent and ask them that's all. Was there any spark? I would say no on both our parts but I met a dozen interesting and nice woman. A dating book I read by a well known dating expert says, "it is not the person it is the process", so don't take it personally. Also another thing he says is, "attraction is not a choice" it is either there or it isn't. So again don't take rejection personally, learn from your mistakes and build on it for the next person that comes along. Learn to know what you are not looking for, so you can look at those that better suites your criteria.

I think maybe the key to finding someone compatible is "volume dating." Meet as many single people as you can, in the right age group, for conversation, companionship, friendship and such. If both of you are frank about the fact that you're scoping each other out, then no one will be hurt. You'll meet a lot of interesting people that way. And maybe one of the people you meet will be the right one. | |
