Posted: 3/26/2008 9:22:33 AM | | I was on this site for about a year and i didn't mean anyone on here that was about something. So i guess i will explore other options. It seems like women are so caught up wit looks that they wonder why they can't find a guy that treats them well. Thats because the average guy will always try harder than the pretty boy. I think you women need to stop being so shallow because even if he is gorgeous that doesn't mean he's a good man. Anyway I am done...talking a vow of celibacy and joining a monestary. Have a nice life!! | |

Posted: 3/26/2008 9:47:31 AM | Wow, you are wayyy too young to be "giving up". It's just not your time right now...you will find that special girl when the time is right. In the "meantime", live right and get involved in the things that interest you...she will show up when you least expect it!
Don't develope an "injured" attitude now...develope one of: "I am so wonderful, I can't believe no one has gotten me yet"!  | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 2:04:37 PM | OP, save some room at that monestary, I may be joining you. Seems nowadays unless you have a six figure income minimum and movie star looks, you might as well not bother. Unless of course you're a woman-beating, bedhopping, drug fiending bum with five different kids by three different babymamas and a lengthy arrest record. But that's not my style. Whatever floats their boats .
So which monestary did you have in mind? | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 3:49:05 PM | | @bigpanda....hopes and faith keeps me going. I've been here for quite sometime myself.... and i am very well aware of the visual scenerio..its superficial. i have been ignored.... deleted...passed by...and etc...it hasnt gotten the best of me. i just figured, they saved me from wasting my time getting to know them on a personal level and i thank them for that. I may not be the trophy doll that most men want....but i really dont care what they think, theyre not for me, I know I am beautiful inside and out, and its their loss...not mine. try not to generalize us, with ALL woman...I am not them...or judgemental. society has most thinking we have to be perfect and thats sad...because its superficial, not realistic and with that... many will be disappointing and feeling alone in the end. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 4:14:11 PM | | Ladyt36 is right, men say the same things, we want slim athletic petite women, when here they are saying they are a little over weight, but they have the money, fast cars and boats etc... so we should just fall all over them. You are way to young to give up, Im 52 and I have just had my heart broken so bad that giving up is a thought, but what if........? | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 5:57:34 PM | They (the monestary) aren't accepting anymore POF people....thought I'd save you the phone call. 
Really though, a church or something similar once crossed my mind...but, I don't know if I could do the "stop-swearing" comandment .

Posted: 3/30/2008 7:13:20 PM | | OP, you are 28, and I am old enough to be your mother. As a matter of fact, my kids are older than you are. I am going to tell you that I understand how sometimes it would be easier to give up. However, one of the lessons I have managed to learn is that you should NEVER give up. Always carry hope in your heart. I spent many years doing Real Estate in Florida, and I learned amazing lessons. From the couple who split up 41 years ago, married others, and then got back together. From the couple who had both lost their spouse to death, and then found each other in their 70s. I could tell you heartwarming, unbelievable stories. Life is an adventure, and when you keep your heart open, it may just surprise you. No one said it was easy, but it sure can be fun when you make the best of it, and always believe that you will have your turn. It may not be as soon as you would like, but that does not mean it won't happen. Hope this helps, JMHO | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 8:09:56 PM | | If this helps, I mailed as many women as I could, knowing full well that most would not respond. But one did. After only 4 weeks of purchasing this computer, I met one heck of a woman. If they have a lot of men on "favorites", its fairly difficult to meet them. Mail the ones who dont seem that popular, because as I found out, not only is this game of life not a popularity contest, but women who are below the popularity radar, are real gems. | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 7:46:20 PM | | I have to agree with you ladies. Never give up you never know who might be around the corner. He might actually be a real man who accepts you and treasures you for who you are. I keep hoping even though I have been screwed over so many times I can't count. | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 9:25:05 PM | Hi BigPanda
Yeah, give up and give us pretty boys an even better chance.
Seriously though just feel the frustration and let it pass and see the online stuff as an addition to other methods. I've known some folks who come on and found the love of their life in days and others have been searching for years.
Opportunity is a railway platform on which you don't know when your train will arrive - you just have to be on the platform. Patience, my man, or you won't be on the platform. And they do arrive but you have to be choosy or you may end up at a destination not to your liking.
When we go generalising our anger about the other gender all we're doing is being upset about being in the same boat as everyone else. Nature designed the process, it's nature we've got to deal with. | |

Posted: 4/4/2008 7:41:56 PM | | mykytyzyn: regarding your statement about women with a lot of men in their favorites, you might consider a few things. for example, i'm on about 10 people's favorites, however, only 2 of them have ever contacted me. it doesn't make sense at all. but i do agree that people are much more than their photographs--or profiles--show. many people are real gems and it's great that you found yours! | |

Hey your only 28 years old- I am 54 now how do you think i feel,no women ventures up to the 54 year olds age bracket ,so maybe i should join a Monastery--NOT !!!!Those monks don't allow women in their Monasteries,( maybe i might be wrong on that one )
I think i would go ** NUTS ** in one of those Monastery,their would be too many males,and i couldn't deal with that so I"LL JUST SUFFER and be happy where I am at,I can't complain about that-- any ways i think ** GOD** IS a FEMALE...
I could never break a Woman Heart,i would hate to see her cry,and that would make me cry too... | |

NEVER give up on love.......................The above statement is so true.
Thank God there is one smart one out there that realizes where to find the good ones. If God wanted everyone to have a supermodel then no one would have flaws. We would all be blessed with perfect bodies and no one would be overlooked. For the ones that haven't met anyone try looking in a different group or class of ladies or gentlemen.
Instead of wishing for what you can't have. | |

Posted: 4/4/2008 8:54:35 PM | Yes, because we all know how men are so kind and generous as to do us women favors by dating we who are beneath them.
If this helps, I mailed as many women as I could, Ha, I read that as "nailed." I was like YEAH, that's the kind of caring man I'm talkin' 'bout. | |

Posted: 4/4/2008 11:00:01 PM | Why give up..What are the successes of online dating sites, really?...Ive seen some of the best lookin men (friends) turned down by the most average of woman on these sites...We go out in public and walk away with the best lookin gals (everytime)...these sites are a place for the delusional to hide and have their egos restored...Its really sad...Me, I could give a rip, one way or the other...I catch crap all the time from the so-called hotties (their really not) on these sites...It seems most of the most successful people I know wouldnt be caught dead on a site full of whackos, delusional, nutjobs who hide behind a computer monitor...Like I said I dont care...I speak my mind exactly how I feel...Why not be honest..
Give up on love, "No way"...If you can sift through the goofs and games maybe you will get lucky...Lifes good...Dont delude yourself...Theres a big world out there, waiting...Plenty of people (woman) want to be loved, "Dont depend on a dating site for love"...You will be disappointed....Get out there.. | |

site full of whackos, delusional, nutjobs who hide behind a computer monitor
I was wondering if this generalization was for all of PoF or just those crappy users who are in fact whacko, delusional nutjobs?
Anywho, OP,My husband and I met on this website and couldn't believe we found one another (Testimonial: Holy Robot Chicken). He took one look at my profile and passed me right up! I contacted him and we ended up talking for about 5 or 6 hours that night. After we had gotten together I asked him why he passed me up. He said I looked stuck up! so men do it too. Of course don't depend on any online dating site to find who you're looking for because who is meant for you may not even own a computer. Please don't give up! Some women suck some men suck (well, lots of men and women do) but some of them don't. if you give up now the lady may just buy a computer tomorrow and have a profile on Monday... | |
