Too small for a condom !?! Then What???
Posted: 11/17/2009 2:43:46 PM
Try Saran Wrap? Make sure it's the non-microwaveable kind. That's what my 9th grade sex ed lecturer said to use for oral sex, so it must be good for something. Be careful though, because Saran Wrap is known to tear pretty easily.

WHAT'S THE WORST DATE YOU HAD ON POF
Posted: 11/10/2009 9:14:52 AM
Worst date? I took her to a social event and she got a serious case of TMI with people, showing off her tattoos and telling them all about her family problems, drug addiction and her boy troubles. Then she suggested I go with her to meet a fortysomething woman she'd made out with at some bar. She had already made it abundantly clear that she liked both sexes. Draw your own conclusions from this.

A Very Ugly Situation - What Would YOU Do?
Posted: 10/21/2009 8:20:08 PM
Fire him immediately. He said that in front of you, his boss? You're doing the lady a disservice by letting him stay.

The only other possible way to handle it is to force him to do her work so she can sit at a desk and play Solitaire all day.

Posted: 10/21/2009 7:35:59 PM
I don't block intimate encounter profiles or people who have messaged them. That's not what I'm looking for, but as far as "must not have messaged ... " I think some people accidentally send messages to IE profiles. Then when people's filters block them they wonder what went wrong. I'm sure it's happened a few times.

eharmony ... Really? I'm a match with a troll?
Posted: 10/20/2009 10:48:51 PM
Sounds like you're a bit too interested in the physical for eharmony. That site is for people who are interested primarily in compatibility.

If you want to find someone ... stop insisting that the guy be taller than you, or ask the people without pictures to send you a picture. It almost always works for me.

Posted: 10/18/2009 9:56:35 PM
On the contrary. I think you just like girl on girl action. No seriously... I'm sure it wasn't you. I'm not a father but I can tell you what you should probably do, tell her to follow the laws in this country, which state that you're not supposed to view pornography until you're eighteen. If she still likes it then she can have at it.

why do alot of the guys at this site have a problem with dogs?
Posted: 10/18/2009 9:43:49 PM
Well it could be the smell ... which you also get with cats, fear of being bitten, although cats seem to bite a lot more than dogs and they scratch and claw too, and fear of the dog's hyperactivity, although some cats are incredibly wild and unpredictable.

I don't know. Dogs seem a lot better than cats.

You've been finding all the wrong guys, which is why you'll keep finding all the wrong guys. You probably still have one foot left in the old lifestyle where having fun is all that counts. You have to change yourself entirely to get the kind of guy who wants to keep you long term.

This is not a library. It's a bookstore.
Posted: 10/14/2009 12:18:59 AM

I am constantly baffled by people who say that if someone is not interested in them, that they are somehow inferior to someone who would be interested in them.

It's called self delusion, also known as denial.


Preferences are totally subjective. If I think someone is better relationship material for ME, for whatever reason, I'm right. Case closed.

I'm definitely not ranting, and I'm not even accusing people of being too soft. It's just something I've wanted to say for a while ... that absolute strangers (which is really what we all are, unless you know someone prior to seeing them on a dating site) should not criticize one another based on their preferences for a mate. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many positive responses, and so few negative.

When you read of someone having a preference, the thing to do is apply it to yourself as an indication of your ineligibility for love.


Why be cynical? It doesn't hurt me to know a woman isn't interested in my type. That just means I'll end up finding someone better who really is interested.

Oh, and the fact that I'm from the South ... doesn't mean I'm into the type of girl who falls in love over a pickup.

Broken Up With For The Strangest Reasons

She's a gold digger. That's all there is to it.

Wants you to be a world traveler = $$$
Wants you to own a house, be responsible with your money
(so she can be irresponsible with it) = $$$
Wants you to be close to your family
(wants your family to be rich) = $$$

Perhaps you're saying POF is a library for women, a bookstore for men?


You got me there.

My point was that people shouldn't complain about other people's preferences. Dating sites are all about what you want ... not what everyone else wants.

Yes, you can judge a book by its cover! It doesn't mean you're insulting the book by not picking it up. You're just not interested in its contents. Perhaps the book had a boring cover. The reviews were plain and run of the mill. The description on the back wasn't too thrilling. Maybe the book had a few extra pages and you weren't interested in reading it. It may have been big and beautiful, as long or longer than Tolstoy's War and Peace, and just as complex, but you just weren't interested. So you go to another aisle and pick up a thin novella with a delightful story and a twist ending and take it home to read. It was such a good read you keep it on your coffee table for months.

Obviously I'm not talking about books here. I'm talking about people. People come in different sizes, colors, and appearances. We're all unique like that, and so are our preferences. A lot of women on here express their liking for tall men, and that's fine with me, even though I'm of average height. I can say I prefer women who are either thin, athletic, or curvy. Does that make me a bad person? Am I objectifying women any more than women objectify men? I'm just being honest.

Some women are here to find a man who makes a good salary. Some men look at a woman's education because they want to date someone who is intellectual. I'm one of those men. Is that so wrong? I like to hold interesting in depth conversations. Of course small talk has its place, but I would hate to end up in a relationship where all a woman could talk about was the latest movie, Brad and Angelina, or whoever else's photoshopped image is gracing tabloid covers these days.

I don't have a racial preference, but a lot of people do. People should not get angry because someone's profile says "____ men/women only". They are being honest about their preferences, and that's a good thing because it saves everyone time. I would rather a woman say she prefers not to date white men on her profile than try to get a date with her and have her insult me. I might take it personally, not knowing that she just isn't attracted to men of my race. (This hasn't happened to me here. I'm just posing a situation.) If you're only attracted to a certain race or races, please say so on your profile.

There is at least one person out there for everyone. If one person isn't attracted to you or interested in you, it doesn't make you unattractive and boring. So you're skinny. Or fat. Or Asian. Or white. Someone isn't interested in you because of something that seems superficial. Why let it bother you? Sometimes the superficial things in life bring people together over things that are not so superficial. An athletic man finds an athletic woman and they discover they both enjoy playing volleyball, or tennis, or running marathons. A black man and woman might find that they both belong to the same civil rights advocacy group. Two students both have the same major, or go to the same college and cheer for the same sports team. So, why all the fuss about people's preferences?

short women/tall men
Posted: 9/27/2009 3:44:15 PM
Let's bring Dr. Freud into the thread. Yes, short women do date a lot of tall guys. My theory is they were treated like kids for being shorter than everyone else, so when they become adults they still want to be pampered. Subconsciously, it's probably a daddy thing.

Proselytizing
Posted: 9/15/2009 8:40:26 PM
I wouldn't take offense to an entire religion. Most religions exclude other religions as a necessity ... otherwise how would the adherents stay true to the faith?

I get your point though. This is a dating site. While it may be important to talk about spirituality to see if you have enough in common to pursue a possible relationship in the future, I don't think proselytizing is a good way to find common ground.

The General Lee... on a Date...
Posted: 9/1/2009 4:49:33 PM

well thats great blaueaughen2, if you live below the mason dixon line, but up in Canada, you know the country north of the United States, 49 th parellel, pass port to get in, land of hockey, tim horton timbits, great beer and colourful money, there is no reason why someone should be driving in a Canadian City with a confederation flag.

That would be like me driving in Mississippi with a Quebec flag saying long live Quebec, and quebec doesnt need Canada, and I have Mississippi plates and a license


Oh, Canada!

Now that I read the original post I kinda get the strange reaction. It is kind of out of culture there. But mostly I meant to respond to someone's over the top PC post calling everyone who paints their car like the General Lee an "extremist" and linking them with known hate groups.

The General Lee... on a Date...
Posted: 9/1/2009 8:55:04 AM
Down here anyone with the General gets to sign autographs. It's a real classic. What I really don't get is how so many people can turn it into a political issue, as one poster on here did. The flag painted on top of the car is not a political statement. It's pretty much as close as you can get to the anarchy symbol in the conservative South. It's just a symbol of rebellion, youth and foolhardiness. True, the flag is a dated symbol with confused ownership, but in the Dukes of Hazzard there was no ill intent. The show's creators just wanted to bring back memorabilia from the prohibition era.

If anyone really wants to argue about the confederate flag ... really, it's just history. I doubt it belongs on war monuments in proud display (as it is in my state, rediculously so) or even in museums, unless the flag itself was an original from the Civil War. But the fact that the KKK used it in some rallies means nothing. Hate groups use the American flag too, you know? That doesn't make Old Glory a racist symbol in the eyes of most of us does it? Probably the American flag has seen more misuse than the rebel flag ever will ... it's been used to promote slavery, then later to deny groups of people the right to vote, to raid Amerindian lands and drive them on death marches, to bomb third world countries into oblivion under the pretext of defeating Communism, to promote fascist ideas like "we must defeat the _____s" (fill in the blank) ... and yet we still love and cherish it as a symbol of freedom. So what's the harm in using the Confederate flag as a symbol of teenage rebellion, without any racist intent?

Like some of the people have said. All these things are red flags. Probably the psych person is the one you would have the best luck with. But anyways...

Yes, it is completely appropriate to do background checks on people as long as they don't ever figure out what you did. In your cases, it was necessary! Personally I have never run a background check on anyone.

Abstinent dating, does it exist anymore?
Posted: 8/8/2009 4:31:56 PM
I'll give you best advice I can since I've been in a similar position before. Simply put, online dating shouldn't be your plan A for finding an abstinent woman. It's good practice to narrow down your search to a place where you're most likely to find the person you want, like a church or Bible study. Start in a different church of the same denomination, or if you're not involved, then get involved. If you're afraid to talk to girls, just do what they suggest in worship services, shake her hand and say hi.

But first search yourself and make sure your intentions are pure. This is important!!! I see you didn't mention your faith on your profile much at all, just morals. I'm not sure about your belief in God, but I'm assuming you do believe. Regardless of what people will tell you on here, faith is a big part of the lives of most women who follow traditional morals. Don't try to pretend being a believer, if you're not, but if you are one it's good if you mention it.

One more thing. There are better words to use in place of "abstinent", like "conservative" and "family-oriented". Nobody wants a person who is too proud of his own morals ... because morals are all too easy to violate.

That is quite a rush to judgment. Personally I wouldn't want to date a girl unless she had a car. "Student" is good enough of a job for me.

If a woman has on her profile "must have Lamborghini and six figure salary," that might be considered gold digging!
