Looking for an honest profile review please - ladies? Posted: 8/23/2009 9:56:15 AM
Well, my handsome, Irishman, to me the profile reads well enough. It gives what you are and what you are seeking without too much fluff. But please ditch the pic with the camera. If you put any others up, put one up of you being active in some way... you mention sport. Maybe one of you doing a soccer kick or riding a bike or swimming, or whatever sport it is you like doing. Or perhaps some of you playing your guitar. Anything over that camera in your face shot. Over all, not a bad profile. As you go along, you will see for yourself where you should make some changes, and fortunately, here on POF, that can take place immediately. Good luck to you. Oops. You're Irish... you already have the Good Luck! Charlie

I'd like your opinions, please Posted: 8/23/2009 9:46:57 AM
Your profile comes across, to me, as being real and honest. I do agree about the "rather not say" --- unintentional, I feel sure, but that statement from a man or woman, sends up the red flags. Best you say what and who you are (detailed not necessary), so that any prospect looking can make his own decision -- but he'll never be interested with a "rather not say." I suggest you put up some more pics up if you can, and about the no children issue, just tell it like you did here. You love children but just not wanting to produce them. Don't use the words, "too old" in any form. You might check your spelling and while many would pooh-pooh that statement you are trying to put up your best here, or should be anyway. Good luck. Your profile is a good one and can be better with some polish. Charlie

What is the difference between Having Sex and Making Love Posted: 8/23/2009 9:27:56 AM
The difference between having sex and making love? Why can't it be both? Or, another way of answering you, the difference is what you make it to be.

Do you hesitate to contact someone with zero roses left? Posted: 8/23/2009 9:23:32 AM
Doesn't bother me. Once in awhile I'll send out an ice cream cone, prefer them over the roses of which I have received, but never sent. I have to ask you guys, have you really seen what they look like and what the card says? Big roses with a large card that says BE MINE! Some women will take that literally -- be careful, you may get what you asked for. Or not.

Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that? Posted: 8/23/2009 9:08:16 AM
Old folkie, you are right, of course, but this subject has been so over-done that I thought I'd take a different slant. Yes, I do believe what I wrote, and NO, I don't think ALL older men, but in keeping with the OP's question of "Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing after 25yr olds" -- I'll add a follow-up statement. Who says or knows that all these girl chasers are actually succeeding? My point exactly. They continually pass up women that aren't 20-30 years younger over and over, but does that mean they actually get to date these younger fit women? I think not. Dateless and lonely? I think so. Reason? There are too many younger fit men ! Yes old folkie, you are one of the exceptions. My words are never meant to offend and rarely if ever do I refer to ALL on any subject that shows up here, even this beat-up one that probably will get deleted in its entirety because it has been so over-done. My philosophy is, If I can't laugh and it isn't fun, then I move on. In short, too many great guys out there that aren't seeking the much younger women. Stick with those, OP, you'll be much happier.

Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that? Posted: 8/23/2009 8:17:37 AM
It's called, in my words, The Last Hurrah Club. Those who think that since they are getting older, they are compelled to touch every young female they can before they can't anymore. Problem is,usually those between ages 58 and 66, have run themselves to death by crossing the road too many times for that greener grass, and all too many end up spending the last years of their life alone. Pathetic? Maybe. Older men, no matter how fit they say they are, are still older. They have prostate issues, depend heavily on Vigara, bad knees, false teeth, and hearing-aids or need them! Should we criticize them for dreaming? No! Let 'em be. By this time, what fit older women wants them anyway?

When do you know you want it exclusive? Posted: 5/30/2009 5:45:17 AM
I agree with you ^^^ ismene2, and when that happens, then my profile comes down, or hidden, or updated to not available, and I expect him to do the same. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is truly wonderful. That said, my time in this place has been longer than most, being on and off POF, and the one thing I've noticed or learned more than anything else, is that those under 45 are much more likely to become exclusive than those over. This online dating is a misnomer because it is too easy for many men, especially those over 55, to be distracted by so many available women which is why I put "friends" on my profile. It just seems to work out better that way without the pressure and the assumptions.

Why are older women scared about dating younger men? Posted: 3/29/2009 6:45:18 AM
Whenandwhere20, granted a 38 year old dating someone in their early 20s is a bit much and that goes both ways and with both sexes. I do agree with you about emotional maturity, but why would any emotionally mature man or woman even want to date too immature, no matter their age? I've met men in their 50s who have made me run for cover... that is, to hide, because they must have some loose screws. I think that we, as adult women and men, need to stop thinking about a number and start thinking instead of dating responsibly.

Dating distance? Posted: 3/29/2009 6:23:55 AM
Sure, I prefer closer to my area, but have had couple long-distance (cross-country) romances in the past and such is difficult to sustain on so many levels. An hour road time is nothing where I live. For road distances 2-3 hours, I find the key is to take turns. Meet half-way sometimes. Be creative. That is, if the relationship means anything to you. That method works for much greater distances as well.

people who have the least to offer the most critical and picky? Posted: 3/29/2009 6:12:34 AM
Abelian... few posts before mine... BRAVO SIR! BRAVO! If by that, you mean a woman who is attractive, fit has a college education and a job that bought her a nice car and pays her bills, it's not that hard. However, those aren't necessarily the same women who are attractive, fit, educated, etc. Add to that ``she is attracted to you'' and the pool will shrink considerably. Maybe you should re-evaluate the weight you give to your own attributes, since several of those seem rather superfluous.

Profile Photo Does NOT Look Like the Person You've Just Met Posted: 3/29/2009 5:37:18 AM
Along with the older/younger (both sexes), heights, marital status, and body size, this issue comes up time and time again. No one on a singles site wants to put up butt-ugly. I've met too many men who don't look anything at all like the photos they posted. The upside of that is that many of those looked better!

Why are older women scared about dating younger men? Posted: 3/29/2009 5:23:04 AM
Of course, each to ones own opinion but I do disagree with you Gloop100, both sexes age. LOTS of older men want to, and many do, date women 25-30 years or more younger without a single thought as to his own aging processes: hearing loss, teeth loss, belly enlargement, wrinkly butt, no driving after dark, prostate problems, Viagra, and no more children. No one ever seems to question that. You are talking about vital and attractive women in their 40s, who suddenly in five years have aged! I think you are selling them, yourself, short. In my opinion, a difference of age, within reason for both sexes, should not matter. I'd like to think that we, as women, have over-come that age-hurdle and want to live life to its fullest without that double-standard of yesteryear. I've dated younger men who are lots of fun, energetic, educated, interested, and interesting. Don't sell them short either. Every one of us comes to the table with something to yet to learn and I never want to feel that I've already learned it all.

Christmas Stress Relief--Titusville Dec. 15th @7pm Posted: 11/30/2007 9:52:58 AM
WOW! Very near me! This is great! Unfortunately, I will be outta town, darn it! Note, and not wanting to upstage the great efforts of Sassy, Jac, and Johnny, there is a brand new and clean hotel of which I was told is moderately priced -- The Hampton-- just off I-95 at Hwy 50 w/a Cracker Barrel next door. That would put you within five miles of the party place. Also, there is a wonderful B&B right off USone just about a mile north of #50 on the left across from the river, called, Coquina Inn. (google for web-site) If you see the Mexican food restaurant, it is behind that. Excellent establishment! I often put people up there who are in for a shuttle launch -- which is happening on the 6th of December. They all be gone in two years! Much fun to all! Hate to miss this one. Thanks to all who put these events together. Charlie

OP, are you for real???!!! I read your photo-less profile which seems to be written by an adult and claims you look such and such and are such and such. Then you start a thread under the "broken hearted" category by writing one long paragraph that reads like a desperate grade schooler's, asking us for approval on trying to get this man to prove to you that he's your friend by asking him for money! Makes me wonder if you even wrote your profile. No wonder the poor guy wants to move to Texas! Also makes me wonder just how many other men you've asked to pad your account. Personally I think you are very possibly the TROLL that this whole thread seems to be about. Either way, shame on you!

Why is everyone so negative? Posted: 9/20/2007 3:33:47 AM
It would seem that (from my point of view and opinion) many - far too many women in the age range of 45 through nearly 60 have developed a hard core attitude - a state of unrealistic expectancy - a demeanor of DEMANDING . . . JoeBob that's quite a sad commentary. As for me, one who fits into that age range you so describe but without the "attitude" -- I fully and wholeheartedly believe that one (man or woman) can either choose to be unhappy or choose to be happy. I choose happy. Actually, I chose it some time back and it has made life so much more meaningful and fun. Or, in another way: "Life is a banquet and some poor suckers are starving to death. Live, Live, LIVE! " (from MAME)

Cell Phones On a Date,Do You Really Need It? Posted: 9/19/2007 6:57:14 AM
Hmmm. I suppose there are NO MORE new subjects to start these threads as the cell phone issue has been done -- to death. Here was my take with some editing on a similar thread that asked if cell phones were the new cigarettes. CELL PHONES ARE THE NEW CIGARETTES!! Posted: 2/22/2006 454 AM I really detest cell phones, but in many situations they are very handy and convenient to have-- and have been known to have saved lives. And known to be the instrument to record the last words of someone's love and impending tragedy. Keeping in touch with family members, running late to a meeting, etc. are also good reasons. I have one of those pre-paid cheapos, the kind without the camera and the fancy case. I keep mine handy and use it in case of emergencies or if I know to expect a call when I am out. But never when I am with a date. Being out with a date who has to have his with him for a few more calls "puffs," particularly during a casual get-together on a weekend day or during an evening dining experience -- really turns me off. It is so rude. Yes, this type is addicted to cell phones. They can't wait to take the next call or to make a call and that is really sad. Ruins a date for me. I've been known to walk! All those people in a restaurant environment who have to blow their cell fumes into your ear drums! And all those people who just have to have another cell call at the traffic light and then proceed in heavy traffic to drive slowly for the next 5 miles. Yep! Cell phones as the new cigarettes, probably true -- unfortunately.

What Do You Do With A Nasty Female Date...? Posted: 9/7/2007 6:15:28 AM
As I've posted so many times in these "bad date" threads, there's never a good excuse for being rude. She was wrong and you had every right to walk away. Yeah, I like the aligator shoe idea. OP, it is highly possible that during that whole loooooong month you were "talking," she was also talking -- and meeting -- with others and when you two finally did meet -- it could have been an obligatory date (also very rude) on her part. I hope that wasn't the case. As I've also stated in these threads many times -- don't wait so long to meet, that way any disapointment doesn't have that long term effect. That kick in the gut! Why? Because you have not had the TIME to have formed any real connection with this person which makes it easier to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. In cases where the date goes great, then the bonding process can begin-- but not while you are both still in cyberspace. My personal opinion is the longer people wait to meet in the real world, the more they imagine about the object of their attention in the cyber-world. That's too much pressure to put on yourself and on them.

Email MISunderstandings Posted: 9/5/2007 1:21:20 PM
YES! It happens! The written word can be terribly misunderstood and as several have already pointed out, animosity never intended; yet, taken that way. Too late, door already slammed shut! E-mailing with a photo and a profile is like a crap shoot and that works both ways. Primary reason why I think it is totally absurd to hang out behind the computer screen for very long. Get OFF your BUTTS and meet these people! Have your conversations face-to-face in the real world. Then if it doesn't fly, at least you have given it an effort and one not likely misunderstood.

My philosophy is to have no expectations other than to have some fun/laughs and spontaneous conversation in learning more about each other. This way, in my opinion and one that works for me, if it doesn't happen, however disappointing that may be, no one goes home feeling they just been kicked in the gut. There's never an excuse for rudness even if you, or they, don't end up being attracted.

dating should be called caspering lol Posted: 8/18/2007 6:07:38 AM
While I agree with the Les ^^ and some others here, here's an entirely different point of view. However, not sure that this thread should be in the "broken hearts" when it has to do with "first meetings" but here goes. In the two years, or so, that I've been on a personals site, mainly POF, I've learned something that I don't think many others have come to fully realize; and that is, that for two who have just met, who have the chemistry, the flirting, the fun, the closeness (mentally saving the sex for some future date), and who have spent the whole fantastic day and/or evening together -- rarely EVER go out the 3rd time, much less the second. Poof! No matter how great they were and wonderful the date was, they are gone -- or, you are. The "caspering" question the OP poses, and one that comes up over and over and over in these forums, WHY? Why does the bloom of a great time with this person quickly fade to never return because he/she never returns? In my opinion, it is because the internet personals phenomenon while serving all the reasons why we are here: to meet someone special, is purely fiction. Meeting, yes. Having a wonderful time with one they think terrific, yes. But dating them on an exclusive basis, NO. Internet dating has turned good people into GLUTTONS for more and more and more. Those people, even while having a grand time with someone new, are mentally looking forward to the next and the next new person. They are in a feeding frenzy and seemingly not able to help themselves-- that "grass is always greener" syndrome looms large in this fantasy place and no one seems to want it to stop. I call it, Dating Frenzy. or serial dating. A handle that used to be reserved only for players. Not so anymore. People say they want a special person in their lives but do they really? Because, when it comes down to the one they are with, they have doubts about sticking it out because of all the what ifs. What if that next person is going to be even better -- better looking, better body, more money, bigger toys, more fun, younger, older, more intelligent, more interesting, more loving... the list goes on and on with the all "what ifs." Gluttons are perfection seekers even while they themselves are not perfect. Such a man that I've corresponded with told me that he has connected with so many women-- at the same time via email, when he meets, he confuses their names and stories! How very sad. What IF causes the Dating Frenzy; and therefore, with few exceptions do two people who have really great chemistry in the real world and would be just wonderful for each other -- soul mates -- THE ONE -- in here only become a great short-term memory. Because in this world where there is a constant array of seemingly great choices, that huge banquet called a personals dating site, JUST ONE will never be good enough. Great connections happen and people do become exclusive and even marry from a dating site. But based on the hundreds of posts -- every week-- every month-- about this same question of why? I say exclusivity doesn't happen to the majority. It isn't because the people are players, or aren't decent and kind, it is because they need to be high on the banquet presented to them. They are hooked and they have to have regular fixes and they don't even realize what they are doing to themselves. I salute each and every one of you who can push yourselves away from the table and say, I've had enough. I like this woman/man and I want to see if it's possible and mean it. There may be others better looking, etc., out there, but he/she makes life all the better for me. Folks that is NOT settling, it is WHY we are here and those of you who can't see it, will forever be swimming and swimming and swimming in a constant dating frenzy.

choke, choke, sputter, sputter -- King Nosmo-msg 21 -- YOU just made me laugh. Thanks! OP, for me it only takes a good sense of humor, being able to see the humorous over the sad and dreary. For instance, the first time I saw the film, FARGO, I "didn't get it" and found it a bit weird, not funny. Then I watched it again and laughed myself silly. I think you just need to relax with the woman; be yourself, and if she has a sense of humor too, both of you will have a wonderful time. Mainly, stop putting so much pressure on yourself to "be funny." No "performance" necessary -- making her and yourself laugh will come naturally. Eris 42 -- I have a cyber crush on Creativguy.

I think I'm too honest for online-dating! Posted: 8/16/2007 5:36:00 AM
OP, I agree that there are definitely the liars and the cheaters and the grass is always greener screw-ups out there -- as Greeneyes stated welcome to e-dating. You are NOT alone, but either accept that they do exist and get past it (them), or remain frustrated and unhappy. But what I don't understand about your question is, and I haven't read all the posts here, is that you say you've been on personal dating sites for 2-3 years -- yet, are separated. For how long? Were you married when you first registered 3 years ago? Then separated? Either way, until you are officially divorced, you are , in my opinion, STILL MARRIED! Married, NO photo, and on a dating site for a number of years. Then with "moist lips" you come in here to say that you are too honest for online dating.

from email to phone or meet? Posted: 8/6/2007 2:08:55 AM
Email/phone/meet Couple of emails -- no epics please. In my opinion, no need for tons and weeks of emails. Why? I soon lose interest if I can't meet the person I've been communicating with, especially if they don't live all that far away. Also, when you do get to meet, your conversation can be spontaneous and fresh -- not retreads. Call. Voice , humor, and manner tell me if he is just going through the motions or if he is really interested and a hint of his personality. It also tells me just what type of meeting he's thinking! One good one, should be enough and that doesn't mean an hour on the phone ( my opinion) and it most certainly doesn't mean spending that time talking about all the other "meetings" you've/they've had. Further, a real first meeting killer -- talking about all those meetings that went wrong. This time is so important in getting better acquainted -- save the "war stories" and "comic routines" of past meetings for another time -- if ever. Two people who have the initial interest need to meet as soon as possible. Personally, I can't fall in love with a few photos and a profile and a phone call. I'm constantly surprised by those who base their entire decision -- yea or nay, by those things alone. Never talking, never meeting. I have to ask. Why are they here?

got her! Posted: 8/5/2007 5:35:39 AM
OP, Wonderful! Don't let the naysayers steal your thunder. Don't know why such negativity on your thread anyway. Oh well. Every one has a right to an opinion. Good luck to you both; it is always good to hear that folks have met the one of their dreams. Okay. You've bought a house together. are in love, and getting married soon. THEN either delete your profile or change it to show NOT available and only here for the forums. Otherwise, your whole thread is a ruse or a poor attempt at attention seeking and I don't think you really want that. Do you?

Are women marketable after age 30? Posted: 7/27/2007 3:49:50 AM
OP, if that were true all my years after thirty were a huge waste of time? Ain't no way! Now that many have taken a look at your profile, which perhaps was your real intent with this ridiculous question, I'm sure you've found enough dates to take you into your 40s. Have fun!

Dating a dad of an undiciplined child Posted: 6/21/2007 7:53:45 AM
Hey OP, just how many forums are you placing this same topic? Thus far you have it in two, that I've noticed.

Huge ego and too much pride, do they have any place in dating? Posted: 6/12/2007 8:35:29 AM
I never have to worry about that. I'm not rich; unfortunately I've dated some men who hoped that I would eventually surprise them like this woman did to you. It is too bad that pride got in your way, but then you have to be happy and having fun and obviously that wasn't happening for you once you realized her situation. I don't think you should beat yourself up over your decision. Your reasons were valid; yet, I think, so were hers. You just weren't on the same page. Life happens! Hey OP, I read your posts often and like how you present yourself.

Why do some people just look at your pics and then message you? Posted: 6/5/2007 6:20:52 AM
Yes. True. I constantly receive messages (emails) that I don't look 85 or asking if I really am 85-- when I clearly have a disclaimer at the very beginning of the very first paragraph! This topic IS a very popular and very real one. In my case, I know immediately if my profile has been read, or at least scanned, by the subject line and message sent. Doesn't keep me from having some fun with it though.

Play dumb ladies, Don't show how smart u really are, you might get a man that way. Posted: 5/12/2007 3:44:20 AM
Playing dumb is fun if it is in response to an obvious bulk email from a guy who thinks he is God's gift and is being clever by addressing dozens of women with the same mail. You know: the "cut and paste" type. Does this type really think we women can't see through his guise? All he really is, is, stupid and lazy. To your "might get a man that way"... my response is why would I want a man I have to dumb-down to? Frankly, I personally don't know of any bright woman who needs a man in her life that badly. I don't pretend to be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I sure am not the dullest!

Anyone want to ride to Leesburg Bike Fest April 28th? Posted: 4/23/2007 3:00:14 AM
Sounds GREAT to me; alas, no bike and need to ride 2-up. I do hope to be there on Saturday. Went two years ago, and even though it rained out many of the events, we still had a wonderful day. All y'all have a fantastic time -- maybe I'll see you there. Charlie G.

Men don't like TALL women Posted: 4/23/2007 2:27:04 AM
These days, my height 5'8" isn't considered all that tall for a woman. I wear heels and sometimes, depending on the shoe, will be nearly 6'. I love being tall-- I feel sexy being tall and I love being tall with tall men. It has not been my experience that men don't like tall women. Quite the contrary.

I figured out the girls on POF Posted: 4/23/2007 2:17:04 AM
Well, OP, at your age, I suppose the female gender would be considered as "girls." So I might be off somewhat here having passed age 19 a few years back and now considered WOMAN-- not girl. But here goes anyway and hope this hasn't already been noted as I didn't read all 8 pages of responses. Have you considered that sending out a line or two -- very likely the SAME line or two-- to 20 or more girls, they can see throught that? If you are not sending out thoughtful mail directed to one girl (at a time) and her profile and what has prompted you to write to her in particular, you will NOT be receiving much, if any, return mail. No girl or woman likes to be on the receiving end of Bulk Mail. Period. It's smacks of insencerity and marks a boy/man as a real looser for doing it. If you are doing this or have been, then It shows real ignorance on your part and will only bring you here to cry in your beer about how women reject. Hope this helps.
