Here is the deal.. Posted: 5/12/2008 10:35:10 PM
I would strongly urge you to get hold of a copy of "He's Just Not That Into You" and take its advice as gospel. I assume he knows you exist? but hasn't ever asked for your number? If you've spoken to him and he hasn't made a move, he's just not that into you. Bottom line: if you have to run after him, it will never work. Every time I've violated this rule, I've ended up being sorry. Save yourself the grief.

How do you know when a POF member posts a fake pic? Posted: 11/24/2007 12:57:06 AM
I spend EIGHT MONTHS talking to a guy I met on another site who had a gorgeous pic--several of them, in fact. I was new at this internet dating thing, and not nearly suspicious enough that he did not have a phone where I could call him and he only called me from work. (Big red flag!) I showed his photo to a chat friend of mine in England who's a movie buff. "Lass," he said, "that guy looks like Mark Ruffalo, the actor." Well, I'd never heard of Mark Ruffalo and said no, no, the pic's real. A few months more of things that didn't add up, and I finally went to imdb.com and looked up Mark Ruffalo, and lo and behold! There was the photo that "Iggy" had sent me! You know...I never really thought that guy's voice, which sounded like nails being scraped across tin (with a Michigan accent) went with that hunky body! Bottom line: if it quacks like a duck, but smells like a skunk...it's probably a turkey!

How do I not go insane? Posted: 5/12/2007 1:55:41 AM
It's a terribly difficult time for you, but it won't always be this awful. Be grateful every day that you escaped from this marriage while you were still young. Being with an abusive man changes who you are. You could have stayed with him for 25 years and ended up being a crushed fragment of who you were meant to be. This, too, shall pass. Things WILL get better. Hang on to hope.

Where are the geeky girls? Posted: 2/18/2007 12:23:24 AM
Logic, shmogic! By your formula: All geeky girls are smart; all smart girls are articulate; all articulate girls are good at talking dirty ...So ... I am smart, articulate, and (as you know) good at talking dirty; therefore, I must be a geek! Oh, wait ... most men would not consider her as particularly sexy, usually thin or average in stature ...What's wrong with this picture?! Alas, I have failed the geek test!

To all the ladies of POF Posted: 11/21/2006 7:36:00 PM
I read it as "men are worthless and we have no need for them so I will retreat into my shell and shun them for all eternity"......[quote/] Fascinating ... not once are men even mentioned in that post! The only sentiments expressed are those celebrating women. So apparently, eddie, a woman is not allowed to say positive things about herself or other women: to do so is to be "male-bashing." I can't decide whether you are misogynistic or just very insecure.

Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all? Posted: 9/8/2006 3:30:50 PM
I finally put it right there on my profile -- if you don't have a pic, I probably won't answer because in my experience it often means you're married. And if not married, living with someone or otherwise involved. I got sick of wasting time only to discern (i.e., figure out on my own -- the cheater seldom admits it up front) that he was not single. Of course, a photo isn't concrete evidence of single status either. Early in the online game, I wasted EIGHT MONTHS on a guy whose photos, which spanned several years, were utterly gorgeous. I should've been more suspicious that he had no phone because he'd "had a stalker." I showed his yummy pics to a chat friend who said, "he looks just like actor Mark Ruffalo." Long story short, the pics WERE of Ruffalo, I finally found one of the exact ones on his imdb.com page.....sigh.... But I have to say I totally agree with Bill. That initial spark of attraction has to be there; it's not shallowness, it's BIOLOGY, folks! We're genetically programmed that way.
