Is it worthwhile to date here?
Posted: 11/28/2009 4:04:06 AM
Not all of us middle aged men are like that so don't put us all into the same category. I'm in my late forties but am not plagued with wrinkles. I have no use for the bar scene or drunks. I can still see my belt buckle and my feet while standing and am still a hoss. I haven't been looking for anyone under the age of 40. I do have morals and scruples. I'm not a cradle robber either. I've talked to women in their 40's who sounded really nice and after meeting them, they turned out to be perverts, trailer park whores, drunks or dope heads. I recently posted that I was going to stick around a bit longer and see if a miracle happened......, and it has! I've met a 45 year old woman and we've seen each other a couple of times. We will be seeing more of each other too! She was just looking for someone who is real, who is sincere, the kind of man who will always put his arms around her and tell her that everything's gonna be okay.

Would a Woman date a Man if she had a higher salary than him?
Posted: 11/19/2009 3:44:49 PM
I am a man who is retired/disabled. I've been in a relationship with a woman who made more than I did and I NEVER asked for money or any material things that required her purchasing. I contributed all I had to her and the household while taking care of all the tasks at home. I made sure that when she came in from work, she had absolutely nothing to take care of and was able to sit, relax and enjoy a meal that I prepared. I was also able to keep her car in shape, and give her lots of love and attention. I thought she might have gotten greedy and just wanted a lot more, but learned after our break-up that she had never been able to stick with any man for very long. I am a responsible man and believe in pulling my own weight at the very least.

I am retired and do have an income. I also have a certain amount of disability and am no longer able to do the only kinds of work I know how to do. I can however take care of all the tasks in the home as well as keep my lady's car in shape, and still take care of/fuss over her.

I would have no problem dating a woman whose income was greater than mine. I have actually done this and NEVER asked for any money or anything else that required spending her money. I do what I can with the income I have and contribute in other ways such as working around the house. I also have been big into giving attention. Unfortunately, I've always ended up with women who really wanted a "sugar daddy" with a fat wallet. I suppose we all would like to have more money, but there's more to life than cash.

time to delete your POF account

I've run into one who was looking for rough sex with multiple partners, a couple of atheists who told me that if I believed in God to keep movin', and a couple who were just looking for a sugar daddy with a fat wallet. Haven't found anyone REAL yet, but I guess I'll stick around just a bit longer. I do believe in miracles and one might just happen

What was she thinking?
Posted: 11/19/2009 3:03:16 PM
Sounds like the typical case of a woman looking for a guy with money.....,a sugar dayy with a fat wallet. I wonder if there's anyone REAL left out there.

I'm trying to keep an open mind but it is becoming difficult to do. Most of the ones I've sent messages to never bother to reply. I've been on here since July and so far have heard from one who wanted rough sex with multiple partners, two atheists who said if I believed in God to go away, and a couple who started out really nice until they found out I didn't have a great big income. I'm really beginning to wonder if anybody here is REAL or if all the women are just looking for a "sugar daddy" with a fat wallet. I would really like to find someone who is sincere, someone to love/fuss over/take care of..,but I can't put them up in a fancy house and/or a new car. I don't have a big bank account but I have a very big heart.

Whats wrong with people
Posted: 11/19/2009 2:51:04 PM
My last girlfriend would hit me with "we just aren't working out" every other month. The last time she pulled that stunt I just looked at her and said " I believe you're right". She became belligerent and hateful and I left. She refuses to be friends or even sociable. I will always have a special place in my heart for her, but I have no desire to see or hear anything of her again. One day her attitude and weird ways will haunt her but I will not be available for her. She haunts me because I dream about her almost every night. I will never hate her and eventually she will not be on my mind. It may take a long time because all the women here are just looking for a "sugar daddy" with a big income and are anything BUT real.

Would you message someone if you knew they weren't going to respond?
Posted: 11/19/2009 2:44:18 PM
It hasn't stopped me from trying...,yet. Very few of those I've messaged have replied at all. I have met a couple of women from here and they are ONLY interested in finding a guy with plenty of money. I have begun to wonder if the majority of women here are phoney. I would give anything to find someone who is real and isn't looking for a big income.

Major Confusion Needs Resolution
Posted: 10/30/2009 8:59:58 AM
My profile is nothing like that, but nobody is interested. I have messaged many but very rarely get any replies. Is it just me or are most of the women on this site just phony? I wish someone would tell/help me. I'm so lonely..,I would welcome a home invasion!

POF highly recommends I check out a person's profile...
Posted: 10/24/2009 11:22:40 AM
Check it out if you want to or are just curious. If you don't want to check it out, then ignore it and delete it. It's just THAT simple. It's not some kind of conspiracy theory.

Have been here for a while and no messages
Posted: 10/18/2009 1:04:30 PM
Have you honestly NOT received any messages? Most people here are phoney and only into playing mind games. Toying with someone's emotions is very evil and ugly! Some of us are quite lonsome, hurting, and would be very happy just to have someone to talk to. I have already contemplated acts of self destruction due to the way the people(?) on this site treat others. This site was my last hope, but has turned out to be the proverbial "end of the rope" for me. What a bunch of heartless, mean jerks!

How do you stop missing your ex because it's so hard...
Posted: 9/28/2009 2:35:56 PM
GEEZ..,I hope my hurt doesn't last 6 years. I honestly don't think I can handle it for that long. It's been 4 months since my lady broke up with me and it hurts so deep. I try to think of other things and occupy my time with various things but it just isn't working. Every night.....( every single night without fail ) I dream about her and our breaking up. I wake up feeling miserable and unable to go back to sleep. There was no cheating, no abuse of any kind. She can't seem to make up her mind why she no longer wants me and she doesn't even want to be friends. I miss her so much but she wouldn't give me the time of day. I attempted to contact her after finding her profile here, but she just doesn't want anything to do with me. I just hope she meets a better class of folks than I have on this site. I've encountered atheists, bondage freaks and other deviates, but nobody I would want to actually meet. Maybe someday I'll find someone real.
May God bless her and the rest of the people here.

Is there REALLY someone out there for everyone?
Posted: 8/26/2009 6:37:28 PM
Not every guy is a player or a cheater. I'm 48 years old and every woman in my age range has been married/divorced at least once, has had bopyfriends who were abusive, cheaters, or control freaks. I am NONE of the aforementioned but I can't even get to first base with anyone. I'm not looking for a perfect "10" by any means. I have no problem with kids or a woman having a few extra pounds. I do however, have a problem with being misjudged or condemned due to the actions of the jerks in this world.

Can You Feel The Loneliness?
Posted: 8/22/2009 4:03:47 PM
Yeah..,I can feel the lonliness.....like an anvil dropped on my foot. I would really love to find someone who is real and sincere. So far most of the people whose profiles I've replied to don't even have the courtesy to reply. People here seem to be very judgemental and aren't even willing to talk to someone and find out what they are about. I have encountered a couple of strong atheists who condemned me for my Christian beliefs and have encountered another who was looking for sex right away with multiple partners at the same time. I am a "one woman" kind of man and am not too keen on anyone who is ready for intimacy on the first meeting. I am honesat and sincere. I enjoy receiving attention and love to give it. I sincerely believe that life is too short and too precious to not share with someone. I suppose I'll hang around and see if there is anyone real left out there..., while I wait for lightning to strike twice in the same spot.
