Dang, that showed up in entirely the wrong place...I don't know anything about these forums or how to post this crap. This was supposed to be a reply to a waaaay earlier post. OOPS! I'll cut and paste a quote.... Page 41, MSG 1005, by user pssst "I place a far higher value on people's ability to take the time to spell correctly... misspelt words on forums and in emails are not nearly as high of a priority to me as grammar for spelling challenged people. I also find it petty to constantly harp on others when no one is perfect... "

ha ha ha! Yeah, me too, and you "misspelled" misspelled as misspelt. Hypocrite! The whole lot of you are hypocrites, judging people by their spelling and grammar! I've seen so many spelling and grammar mistakes on this thread that it made me cringe! I have a HUGE pet peeve about spelling and grammar, but I let it slide here because, as someone made a point of in an earlier post, maybe they sucked a$$ in school, but they're actually really smart, just not book smart! Maybe they stayed awake in mathematics and slept in grammar! You could be writing off a millionaire mathematician that can't spell worth a $hit...because he can't spell worth a $hit! C'mon people, cut `em some slack! Geemunnee!

Profile guaranteed to make you smile!!! Posted: 4/19/2009 9:05:42 AM
Hey, I updated my profile recently and would like it reviewed so I know if I've improved it at all. Nobody's gonna know what it used to look like, I know, but lemme know if it's any good. I.E., would a girl like you be interested in this profile, or would a guy like you build something like this, depending on the reader's gender. Thanks, I accept and respond to all messages, unless you're just flaming me or being a jerk. We all know what happens to people like that on this site so, please, honest criticism only. tnx!

I won't coddle you on this Posted: 4/19/2009 6:32:54 AM
Having read the post and considered it carefully, it is my conclusion that he is trying break contact with you, without the guilt of being the one to say "no more". I've seen this a hundred times if I've seen it once. There is obviously someone else in his life that YOU don't know about, and he's much busier with her (or him) than with you. You've taken a place on the proverbial "back burner". However, when you message or call him, the old feelings he had for you come into play and he can't simply ignore you, so he responds cordially. But what he's really waiting for is that one day when you've grown so weary of being the one to initiate that you give up, and he doesn't hear from you, thereby esentially making YOU the one to cease contact with HIM, and saving him the guilt of doing it. This is a rather cowardly approach to breakups/cessation of contact, and I myself don't practice it, but it does happen, and you would appear to be a victim of this cowardly method. I'm sorry for your loss; at least, that's my take on it. But plentyoffish.com is right here at your disposal, and guys like me are on your side. I hope your search is bountiful and your rewards great. Happy fishing!

Valentine Party~Feb 14, 09 ~ The Dawg House ~ 7:30 pm to 2:00 a.m.~ Terre Haute, IN Posted: 1/28/2009 1:11:36 AM
So, I'm 21, from Vincennes IN, and I'm really hoping to be able to attend said party. Sounds neat and I always see news of these things happening, just never have had time to go to one. We have the usual honkytonks around Vincennes, and one teeny tiny little club. I've been to Terre Haute several times, but never been to a bar there. Can anyone tell me a little about this particular bar? Big, small, always playing sports on the bigscreens, good music, dollar draughts or 2.50 draughts, always crowded or usually empty? Anyway, I'm lookin for a party crowd. Hope you guys are it! Happy fishing!

Why do Men ask to see your pics then NEVER talk to you again....? Posted: 1/27/2009 11:25:19 AM
There are two types of men on POF, the way I see it. Men who are attracted to a woman first and foremost on an emotional and mental level, and worry about the physical aspect next, and men that are attracted to a woman first and foremost on a PHYSICAL level, and worry about compatability next. If you are the type that bases a desicion upon the former, being compatable first, then these men that see your photo then never respond are obviously not your type. However, ask yourself....if a man with no profile image sent you a message and seemed at least slightly interesting, then sent you a photo and turned out to be overweight and unattractive,....would YOU respond? Once you answer this question to yourself, or better yet, experience the result firsthand, you will know much more about yourself. Happy fishing!
