How has your experience been with POF? Thumbs Up or Down? Posted: 6/26/2009 7:25:29 AM
My experience on here has been both good and bad. I have had a few dates, but nothing serious has come out of it. I have met a couple of weirdos too on here, but the good part of the time, I have made a few friends that I chat to on a regular basis.

WOMEN....Are you afraid to settle down with a Military Man? Posted: 6/23/2009 9:02:03 AM
A lot of women shy away from a military man because they don't like the idea of separation and moving every two or three years. It is a hard life for those who are living it, but if a woman cannot accept the fact that deployment does happen when her man is in the service, then she should not get involved with a servicemember. And the same thing goes for men who are involved with a woman in the service. Some men do not like to be away from their girlfriend or wife while she is deployed, so the situation is the same for both men and women. The point is that most women or men shy away from the servicemembers because of the fear of their loved one being deployed for a year or two and worrying about if their spouse will be waiting for them when they return. Also, if there are children involved, the idea of taking them away from their friends makes military life harder. However, some men and women do like the military lifestyle and there are plenty of couples where the husband or wife are in the service that their marriages have lasted a long time. It's a matter of taking the good with the bad. I am not afraid to settle down with a servicemember because I am very supportive of those who answer the call of duty. Right now, I am talking to a good friend who is in the Army and he seems like a decent guy. The issue of him wearing a uniform does not bother me because I see the man inside the uniform and not the man wearing the uniform. Good luck, you will find a woman who will see you for you and be supportive of your call of duty.

The fear of military men? Posted: 6/23/2009 8:32:24 AM
Some women do not like the idea of being away from their man and the temptation of cheating is too big to ignore.

I Want To Join The Military but have a family Posted: 6/22/2009 12:20:37 PM
I would not suggest starting up a family right away until you have served a few years and by then you will know if having a family while in the military is a good choice. You have to think about how your wife/gf/children are going to feel when you get deployed for a year or two and the hardships of being away from your family. A good suggestion to you is to ask a current servicemember, male or female, who has a family and ask them what it is like being in the service and having a family. Then, listen to their viewpoint and go from there. Good luck

When a man is a porn pervert and lies about it what to do? Posted: 6/22/2009 9:48:21 AM
I'm glad you got rid of her. I think she was insecure about herself and you don't need that in a woman.

I have a couple question(s) ladies Posted: 6/22/2009 9:35:31 AM
You seem like a nice man, and I am one of those people who actually see past a person's disability. An activity partner is just another fancy title for someone who wants a "roll in the hay". In other words, just looking for a one night stand or something like that. Other people might think that an activity partner is someone who wants a partner to share acttivities with, but we all know what that means...... BTW, I would not mind dating you, but I have met someone already on POF and want to see how things go. Good luck fishing and I am sure there is a young lady out there in the sea who isn't shallow and can see past your disability.

Are there ANY women who don't CHEAT? Posted: 6/20/2009 12:05:59 AM
Swinging is also cheating too. If I was married, there would be no way I would let my husband have sex with another woman. When you get married, that is why you take a vow of forsaking all others, not vow to swing with others.

HELP! I need an easy Appetizer! Posted: 6/17/2009 2:30:25 PM
I take cream cheese softened at room temperature and mix it with chopped green onions, chopped crab meat and a dash of garlic salt. Spread it on Ritz crackers or soda crackers you have an instant appetizer that is easy to make and cost effective too!

You have a very catchy headline, that is cute. You may want to elaborate a bit on some of your hobbies instead of listing them all and what kind of man your looking to meet. Other than that, your profile is cute. Happy Fishing

How about bringing back the instant messaging feature? [CLOSED Thread] Posted: 6/16/2009 1:04:41 PM
I joined this site a while back, in February to be more precise, and I noticed that the IM feature is no longer there. What happened? It made it easier for me to talk to potiential suitors and get to know them better that way. Any reason why this is no longer working?

seeking to refine my profile. Posted: 6/16/2009 12:34:11 PM
You sound like you are feeling sorry for yourself and that is a big-time turn off to women. You might want to refine your profile by stating what kind of woman you are looking for and elaborate on your best quality things like that. If you take a look at my profile, you will get an idea of what I'm talking about. In mine, I state what kind of person I'm looking for and my idea of a romantic date, etc. Also you may want to discuss your hobbies and elaborate on those a bit. I hope my advice helps a bit. Good luck in your search.

Taking Others' Advice Into Consideration When Asking for Help With Your Profile Posted: 6/16/2009 10:26:14 AM
Hello ladies and gentlemen, II joined Plenty of Fish in order to search for a lifetime companion. I had written what I thought was a good profile, talking about what kind of man I wanted, what my hobbies were and so on. I was like most others, getting frustrated and wondering why hardly no one was responding to my profile and getting few emails. I turned to a dear and close friend of mine for some help and advice. She suggested that I make a few minor changes to my profile. At first, I was kind of skeptical in following my friend's advice but in the end I decided to listen to her and voila!! I followed her advice, made the changes she suggested and now I am getting at least 2-3 emails a day from potential suitors and have managed to secure a few dates and make a few friends along the way. Ladies and Gentlemen, it does help when you have someone make suggestions to improve your profile and you listen to them. You would be surprised to know how far constructive criticism can help. My advice to you is to consider all suggestions and listen to any advice given to you to improve your profile. It does work, trust me on this. With that in mind, I invite you to read my profile and share your opinions about my profile and tell me what you think. I am still fishing in the sea for my best friend, but I am getting more emails than before. Happy Fishing to Everyone!

Golddiggers and paranoia Posted: 6/15/2009 9:13:21 AM
If a significant bank account is required to secure dates that is just saying that you are insecure about dating someone who doesn't have a lot of money. The economy is tough right now and a lot of people have lost their jobs and/or seen their incomes cut in half in one day. Does that make you less desirable to men if you are a woman and vice versa? I think a lot of people who date for money are just looking for a way to ease the pain of trying to make it through tough times; however, me personally I would never date a man who could not hold a steady job and would rather sit around the house and be lazy. It is desirable to people to be financially secure, but it should not matter if the man or woman has money or not as long as that person holds a steady job. To me, that shows stability and that is more important than having a lot of money in the bank.

LADIES: Please be brutally honest Posted: 6/10/2009 3:34:40 PM
You could describe in detail about what your idea of a perfect date is. I see that you like to go on cruises because of the cruise ship in your photo. You could elaborate on why going on a cruise is fun to you and come up with something like, " I would take the lady on a nice, three-day cruise where we would dine on the finest lobster and drink the best wine there is to offer. Then we would head to the promenade deck for a nice dance under the stars and hold hands and get to know one another." You elaborate too much on going to the gym, and most women are going to think you are a gym freak and are too obsessed with staying in shape. That is the same attitude as an anorexic who is obsessed and worried about gaining weight. Please give this some thought and you will see that women will have their curosities piqued and write to you. Good luck.

couple of emails then poof. Posted: 6/10/2009 9:16:05 AM
Maybe they decided that you weren't a good match for them. Keep fishing, someone out there will eventually message you and try to get to know you. Also, you may be just dealing with a game player.

why is it so hard for me to find a girl Posted: 6/6/2009 4:59:30 PM
How about expanding a little bit on your profile such as what you do for fun. A lot of women do not understand what mms stands for. You could also post what your ideal first date would be a little more. Elaborate on your good qualities a bit more and you will find that special gal. You could also go into a bit more detail about what kind of music you like or your favorite hobbies.

Anyone miss sex with their ex? Posted: 3/9/2009 12:12:30 PM
Why did you two leave each other if he was that good in bed. Obviously you still have feelings for your ex. This is harsh, but you have to rid yourself of those feelings before you find another man equal to him between the sheets. My ex was good in bed, I have a child from him that proves that LOL. I do not think of him because I have moved on.

dilemma - what to do Posted: 3/1/2009 12:31:27 PM
Well, I consider that cheating no matter what. Maybe it was the best thing that you found out before things got too serious or before you considered spending the rest of your life with him. You caught him in a lie and he blew you off because he doesn't know how to react when you confronted him with the truth. Keep fishing, there is someone better for you.

Would You Go Back To A Partner After They Emotionally and Physically Abused You? Posted: 3/1/2009 9:24:08 AM
The answer to that one is no. Once a man puts his hands on you and/or threatens you or puts you down, that is it for me. No woman should ever have to go back to someone who has emotionally and physically abused them. I am speaking from personal experience. I took a man back into my life after he physically and emotionally abused me and I paid a heavy price for it too. Ladies, there are plenty of men out there who will treat you right. I know it may be difficult to leave a partner after abuse, but you have to be strong and go on. I would not take someone back after he abuses me.
