Lactose intolerance
Posted: 3/19/2008 5:52:14 PM
Personally I'd rather change my diet than pay to take a pill every day, but that's just me. I also note that the page is inconsistent; at one point it says the tablets are for children aged 3 and up, and at another it says they shouldn't be taken by under 5s...

Being Honest about your Past
Posted: 3/19/2008 5:49:04 PM

he really doesn't have a "past" other than the normal "married for 20 years"


That's normal? I don't know anyone like that... (yeah, I'm too young - you know what I mean)


Am I wrong to think that some things are better left unsaid?


Yes and no, but I think he's wrong to get upset. Although of course it's hard to judge as you give no details, I can't imagine being upset with a woman's past unless it directly affected me...

The cock block!
Posted: 3/11/2008 1:01:09 AM

In America, men refer to their penises as "co cks" ...among other things. Men really like thinking of themselves as having chicken sized penises, I guess.....


To be fair, that's a very common word for penis over here in the UK, used by both sexes.

On the other hand I can't imagine ever referring to what happened as "a c0ck block", or whining about it here either. You tried, you failed, move on!

Is there a definitive definition of a 'Date'?
Posted: 2/20/2008 2:57:08 PM
[qupte]A date is when a man and woman go out together, doesnt matter where or what they do, just go out and enjoy eachothers company

I'm on a date every time I go out with a female friend? News to me - and I suspect to them!

There's more to a date than a man and a woman meeting up (or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman for that matter...). When I go for drinks with one of my female friends, even when it's just the two of us, neither of us would even dream of thinking it was a date. The romantic/sexual undertones (or overtones for that matter) simply aren't there.

It's the intent, or hope, or expectation. The only tricky thing is working out whether or not it's mutual.

Income/Car Status
Posted: 1/18/2008 7:19:04 AM

It's more likely an information gathering tool for future advertising sales. You'll know when the car ads replace the Russian bride ads next to our head shots.


That's half the reason why both of mine are set to "prefer not to say". The other half is because "None of your business" wasn't an option lol

Dating websites
Posted: 1/17/2008 1:36:44 AM

I think him making and keeping the site free is one of the reasons he can generate the ad revenue for the simple fact he can claim honestly he has x amount of registered people where as the pay sites can only claim x amount that are paying...


Both pof and pay sites can claim number of registered users or average number of active users over some time period (eg a day, a week, a month, etc). Charging or not charging makes no difference whatsoever to the statistics you can pull from your database and web logs.

In fact, surely if people are actually paying to use a site, they're more likely to visit more often so as to get their money's worth?

I also think most people object to seeing ads on a site they pay to access, which would be why most pay-for sites don't carry many (or any) ads.

how did/do you cope
Posted: 1/14/2008 5:14:42 PM
I've not been cheated on, but I spent 2 years sharing a house with an ex (separate rooms and 3 other housemates, we split up 3 days after moving in)

From time to time she would be getting ready to go out with her latest bloke (and me with my latest girlfriend, of course); those times when it hurt, I simply threw myself into my work. I was a student at the time, so I applied myself to my course work, making myself scarce by working in the lab.

So basically, and as others have already said - distract yourself. As for meeting other people, it'll come in time; just relax (see previous point) and be yourself.

Anyone else rather SKIP the phone conversations?
Posted: 1/5/2008 3:07:07 PM
I would *much* rather meet up first, I really don't like the idea of chatting on the phone before meeting. Email, IM, etc are all fine of course, but I want to have had a face-to-face conversation before phoning.

For me, I think as well as your reasons it's partly also the "so that's what they sound like" thing - for some reason that just seems "better" when it goes with the "so that's what they look like in real life" thing too.

When will actions match words from men?

Can't a person expose his or her problem without everyone saying so do the other sex.


Not when the question is posed essentially as "why are the whole of the opposite sex ...?". That sort of thing tends to rile up those members of the opposite sex who feel that they don't deserve to be tarred with the same oh-so-wide brush

Ex-CIA agent: Waterboarding 'saved lives'
Posted: 12/14/2007 5:09:10 AM

If you want to fight terror, you have to be prepared to inconvenience the people who bomb, kidnap, decapitate and murder civilians and soldiers.


That's fine, but these techniques are being used against suspects as well as terrorists. How many innocent people are you willing to "inconvenience" in this way? That's a serious question by the way, and one that people have been debating for centuries in various forms. How many innocents are you prepared to make suffer, to stop evil doers from causing suffering to innocents?

That's ignoring the questionable validity of any information obtained under duress or by torture of course; hurt or scare someone enough, and eventually they'll say *anything* to make you stop.


Those who want to treat terrorists with kid gloves are the ones who complain the loudest when the intelligence community is caught flat footed by terrorist attacks.


I don't want to treat terrorists with kid gloves, I want to afford suspects their human rights and allow them due process. I even want to treat convicted terrorists just as we would any other high-risk prisoner. What I really do not want is to see people being tortured or abused simply because of the nature of the accusations that are levelled against them. I also do not want to send the terrorists the message that we are scared of them, and that their tactics are working, because I'm not. (And I'm saying that as someone who was only not on the bombed London Tube train by sheer luck, as it happened on my route in to work.)

But then I don't complain when the intelligence community fails to prevent terrorist attacks either, as I realise that the reality is that it is impossible to prevent all attacks. That can't stop us trying, of course.

Is it ok for a overweight person to reject another overweight person, solely based on them being ove
Posted: 11/22/2007 2:51:51 PM
What a strange question. Of course it's ok - you can no more choose your personal preferences than you can choose your parents. They may end up severely reducing the likelihood of you finding someone, but that's life.


Can you imagine a drug addict rejecting another drug addict because they use drugs??? A smoker telling another smoker they can't date them because they smoke? An alcoholic telling another alcoholic they can't date because they drink?


Yes, if they're trying to quit, or if say the rejecting drug user only smokes dope while the other is on heroin.


We all have our preferences but there are exception to every rule, in my opinion this is one of them.....Agree or disagree??????


Well I guess you can mark me down as "totally disagree" :)

disturbing death
Posted: 11/21/2007 1:12:18 PM

I get the distiinct feeling that these taser incidents are staged (actors) to provoke the public's anger.. build a rift between law enforcement and the public.


So why aren't the authorities denying it happened? Or do you mean that you consider the video to be genuine, but shot and presented so as to mislead the public?

When a guy doesn't want to use a condom with you...
Posted: 11/12/2007 11:46:32 PM
Personally no, but then I already have a child and don't really want any more. It also sounds like one of the oldest lines in the book to me, but then that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true in this case.

It seems to me that there's a lot more to love than just not using a condom during sex. In fact it seems to me that the two things are almost entirely unrelated, but again that's just a personal opinion.

Effeminate men
Posted: 11/10/2007 2:30:52 PM

spend more time on their hair etc than we do


You've clearly never met my ex


For cryin out loud they even drink wine (that really pi**es me off big time)!!!


Drinking wine (10-15% alcohol) is girlier than drinking lager (5% if you're lucky)?

Try drinking three bottles of red and see how girly you feel - ok, actually I felt pretty bloody awful the next day, so maybe that's not a good idea


They use toileteries ( once considered a female only product)


Once upon a time, any man with money would wear a wig and powder; warriors have gone into battle daubed with various pigments and make ups for thousands of years; it's only really recently that make up (and toiletries) have been seen as being women-only.

And really, would you rather our skin was dried out and wrinkly and we stank of sweat?

Manipulation - What is it, how not to do it?
Posted: 11/10/2007 12:22:19 PM
From the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (online at http://dictionary.cambridge.org):

manipulate (INFLUENCE)
verb [T] MAINLY DISAPPROVING
to control something or someone to your advantage, often unfairly or dishonestly

So that's what it is. As to how not to do it, it's like any other habit - watch out for signs that you are doing it (or are going to), and stop yourself.

My guy lied about going to an erotica exhibition
Posted: 11/7/2007 5:39:29 PM

be upset that he lied...


Did he lie? Or was he dragged along by his friends, agreeing only because he didn't want to be the odd one out?

Even if it was his idea, is "we're going on a drinking weekend" a lie when it turns into "hey, there are strip clubs! let's go!!" when you get there?

If he organised it expecting/intending to go to the strip clubs then it's a lie. If he organised/agreed to go without knowing (or realising, or expecting) that they'd be going to strip clubs then I don't see that it's a lie.

Just seems to me that it's a bit more complicated than "he didn't say up front that they'd be doing it, therefore it's all a lie and I don't know what to do!!?!!one?question mark!!?!?!?"

Posted: 11/7/2007 5:32:53 PM
Your questions, in order: no, no, no.

Seriously, the only person who can decide whether you should be upset is you. Personally I don't see it as lying - to me, there's a difference between "we're going on a drinking weekend" and " we (also) went to an erotic show". Do you actually know that that was the plan all along?

Should you be worried that he was *presumably* getting off looking at all the "porno stuff"? No, I don't think so. What exactly would you be worried about? That you don't measure up to pre-constructed, orchestrated perfection? Well hey, join the rest of the human race.

Worry about the things he *does*, not the things he *looks at*.

People should be very cautious when it comes to meeting people off the net.


I still don't see how it's any different to meeting someone in a pub or club, etc, other than that you can talk to them for a while before meeting them. There are just as many whackos out there in the real world as there are online.

sleepiong at an ex-es when u have kids there
Posted: 10/30/2007 12:39:50 AM

this notion of having ex-lovers as friends is ridiculous........it's either a romance or nothing.......there is no such thing as "friends" and anyone who claims there is looks self-serving in my opinion


Wow. I split up with my ex a little over a year ago, but it was mutual and mostly painless, we'd simply grown apart and it had been a long time coming. Since then we've remained great friends - in fact, she's one of my best friends. Just because we're no longer in love and would no more sleep with each other than we would a relative means that we can no longer be friends? That's the ridiculous attitude if you ask me.

Other Dating Sites/ Scams ?
Posted: 10/17/2007 11:53:11 PM

Can someone find my personal email address through POF?


I'm not aware of any public-facing part of the site that shows your email address, no. If someone really has got your address from the site, then I'd say that either there's a bug (allowing someone to see stuff that they shouldn't be able to), or the site has been hacked and someone has accessed the database (happened on another site I'm on a while ago), or possibly someone guessed an admin log on (although I don't know if the admins have access to that sort of info either).

I'd imagine though that it's more likely to be a social engineering scam - that someone has a list of email addresses obtained from some source, and has blanket mailed all of them with a spam, claiming to have found the address from pof. Given how many members pof has, with a large enough list of addresses you're bound to hit a few members.

If you're worried, drop a note to the admins. It may well be nothing, but if they get a lot at least they'll know to check things out in case there is a problem.


Crazy story about not being able to use the email account from which he sent the email... Scam?


And also not able to include it in the message? Scam scam scam.
Mind you, I get a fair amount of spam supposedly from women who have seen my profile "on the dating site" (yeah right, not with that email address you haven't) who include an email address to reply to "as this is not my account". Scam scam scam.

Buy me a drink
Posted: 10/16/2007 11:44:54 PM

But what about the poor schmuck who is picking up the bar tab ? They are getting screwed.


No, that was on the "out of bounds" list

Ok, so hypothetically what if the bf is at a club without the OP, is approached by a girl, gets chatting, she offers him a drink and he says "Well I've got a girlfriend, so as long as it's just a drink then yes please; otherwise it was nice talking to you"?

Yes, I know that the drink is offered with a view to getting to know the guy, with a view to possibly getting to know him quite intimately - but as women have been telling men for years just because you do something nice doesn't mean you're getting sex in return. Why can't a drink be just a drink, with no expectation of anything more?

instant messenger chats
Posted: 10/16/2007 3:30:58 PM
I chat to multiple people on MSN all the time. In fact at work I've been simultaneously on a conference call with a group of people, and on MSN with a couple of them discussing things offline (from the call) rather than bothering the whole group with the minutiae (or just our moaning about stuff).

It's not a phone call. If you want or need exclusivity like that, then call or arrange to meet up. Personally I think it's rude to ignore friends when they say hi online just because I'm already chatting to someone. Besides which, I'm a reasonably fast typist and can easily keep up with a few conversations at once.

Spain extradites Austrian author for Holocaust denial
Posted: 10/14/2007 11:45:33 AM

Truth need no laws to protect it


And yet we have libel and defamation laws.

In fact, that's the reasoning I've heard behind having anti-Holocaust denial laws; that people who deny it ever happened are essentially calling the survivors liars. As it's generally felt that they've suffered enough already without having to relive their memories in court, the state takes on the role of plaintiff by making this particular type of defamation a criminal offence, rather than a civil one.

As to why this particular Holocaust gets special treatment, I can only imagine it's because it was wrapped up in the war as a whole, which to many people lends it an even greater degree poignancy.

Shallow: not showing serious or careful thought.

Sincere: not pretending or lying; honest.

If they're into you, stringing them along will only hurt more in the end. There's nothing wrong with saying something like "Well, I had a good time, but I don't think we're right for each other; sorry."

Alleged Bathroom Blunder.....DYKE frivilously sues for $$$$$
Posted: 10/12/2007 12:02:43 AM

The establishment had admitted her into their place of business, which gives her tacit approval to use any and all facilities


Well, I'm not a lawyer but I believe that as a private establishment the restaurant has the right to eject (or refuse entry to) anyone at any time for any reason whatsoever, so long as it doesn't contravene any laws (eg you can't throw someone out for being black).

Ok, so they were mistaken this time, and acted like jerks. But suing them? I was a fat kid, with man boobs (boy boobs? lol) and long-ish hair. I was once mistaken for a girl as I walked into the gents toilet; a member of staff called out to say that the ladies was "over there". I replied that I was a boy and kept on going. Yes, it was embarrassing, but even as a kid I was over it 30 seconds later. Sue? What on earth for?

Hell, if I got to sue everyone that was an idiot or a jerk I'd never get anything else done.


So, in essence what you are saying is that it is now acceptable to remove people from an establishment simply based on how they look.


That has always been acceptable to some degree - no shoes, no shirt, no service? If I turned up at a fancy restaurant fresh from a hard day's work at a construction site, or as a grease monkey mechanic, I'd expect to be turned away based purely on how I looked. (In fact some places won't let you in unless you are in a suit and tie) Similarly there are nightclubs I go to that you won't get in to if you don't look the part.

I'm not saying that this woman doesn't have a legitimate grievance, but as presented here I really don't see that she has any grounds to sue, and I'm speaking as someone who has endured a lot of abuse (including threats of violence and things being thrown at me) based purely on how I looked at the time.

Is it cheating or no
Posted: 10/10/2007 3:53:36 PM

A friend and I were discussing whether or not its cheating if a female has a female lover that she hooks up with every once in a while ‘for a girls night out’ and her unsuspecting boyfriend thinks they are ‘just friends’ and knows no different


I'm amazed you're even asking. Yes it's cheating! Why wouldn't it be, because it's a same-sex thing?

If the partner doesn't consent, it's cheating, no matter who it's with.

Posted: 10/3/2007 1:30:45 PM

I don't think that a lack of response to emails should be a deterrent to making the first contact.


No it shouldn't, but when yet another message is met with complete silence, you do tend to start feeling somewhat ignored, and to wonder quite why you're bothering. Not that I think that there's any obligation on anyone to respond to anything, just pointing out that a lack of responses is no less dispiriting than politely negative ones.

What do you think about people who see therapists?
Posted: 9/30/2007 11:47:34 PM

If we are all honest with ourselves, the first thing we think when someone says that they are seeing a therapist is "OMFG! PSYCHO! RUN AWAY!"

I defy anyone who says they wouldn't think that or have such a reaction.


Perhaps some of us have led lives that have been a little less sheltered than others in this respect. I've known a few people who have been seeing some kind of mental-health therapist over the years, and even dated a couple. None of them were psychos, even in the informal sense. They just had certain issues that they needed help dealing with, and more power to them that they actually sort out that help.

A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL?
Posted: 9/30/2007 3:29:58 PM
Well, this may seem off topic, but bear with me.

A few weeks ago I was utterly snowed-under at work. I literally didn't have enough time to get everything done - I was working until 10 or 11 each night, and even later at weekends.

I still found the time to call my daughter every night.

If something's important enough, you find the time. The only question is how important it is to you, and whether or not you realise that.

On the other hand, blokes don't generally call people just for a chat - we tend to call for a specific reason, and meet up to chat and hang out. (Although that said, I have done the stereotypically-female thing of chatting on the phone to a friend for an hour a couple of hours before meeting up with them - we're all different)

Married Men and Lies
Posted: 9/30/2007 4:21:43 AM

Why is it that married men think its ok to come on this site and pretend their single?


Because they're idiots with the emotional maturity of a child?

Because they want to have their cake and eat it too?

Because they're staying with their wife for the sake of the kids (or pre-nup lol) but have needs (and perhaps even permission) just like everyone else?

Just a few ideas, but there are likely to be nearly as many reasons as there are men (and women) doing it.

You might also email the founder of this site and see if he can ban this man IP address.


That won't work unfortunately. Even if he does have a static IP address (meaning that every time he connects he gets the same one), he could always just go via a proxy, or go to a cybercafe, or use a friend's PC, etc.

There's no way to completely ban someone who's determined not to be banned, short of taking a blood sample or something - not really practical :)

I wasn't entirely sure, so I had to look it up - according to the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, jaywalking is "walking across a road at a place where it is not allowed or without taking care to avoid the traffic".

So, people are getting fined for crossing the road without using a pedestrian crossing. I can just imagine if they tried that one in the UK

He's 20, he's just been unexpectedly told he's going to be a father, and you're surprised that his head's in a mess?


The million dollar question is......IF a man tell's a woman he 'loves her', then he MUST expect that he means it, so why turn the table?


Have you never said something then later regretted saying it? Yes of course you should mean whatever you say, but unfortunately it doesn't always work like that. Maybe he was in a blind panic and trying desperately to see a way to make the situation work, and calmed down later? Maybe it was the other way round - calm acceptance followed by panicked denial.


Boyfriend/girlfriend? Is that not exclusive?


That depends on the people involved. Personally if I had gotten to the stage with someone where we were calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend then yeah, I'd assume that we were exclusive - but you know what they say about assumptions...

OFFERED 5 GRAND
Posted: 9/23/2007 2:52:31 AM

i dont have to move in with you


Yes he does. Do you think the authorities don't check up on that sort of thing? If you do it, expect to get the odd random, unannounced visit from immigration, and possibly even to be kept under covert surveillance for a while.

Or it may not happen - but how can you be sure?

5 grand to risk prison time and/or being saddled with a complete stranger for a husband? Doesn't sound worth it to me.

I met a drunk and pregant woman on a first date!!

I doubt very much if this woman was pregnant, or she would not be drinking, and smoking pot now would she?


Wouldn't she? I've seen very definitely pregnant women drinking and smoking (cigarettes, not pot), and I once saw a bloke take a baby's bottle from his young kid (who was in a pushchair), pour some lager into it, and give it back to him. I also once saw a clipping of a newspaper article in which a heavily pregnant woman complained about the damage the noise from nearby construction work might be doing to her unborn child. She was smoking in the picture that accompanied the article.

Never underestimate how stupid and selfish (or just plain weak-willed) some people can be.


She had a big belly from BOOZE.


If she was thin everywhere else, I doubt it was a beer belly; nothing makes you put weight on only in a certain area, other than a tumour, abscess or similar, or being pregnant.

army quarters

so you dont pay any rent at all???


I have no idea, but I thought I'd just point out that so far everyone else who's answered is American. That doesn't mean they don't know about the British army, of course, but I also note that none of them has explicitly mentioned it... (Apart from one to say that he doesn't know)

More appealing when you're not looking??
Posted: 9/8/2007 6:21:53 AM

To the first two messages here: You BOTH know where the delete and block features are on this site.Use those freely and there is not any more issue or concern then right?


That only stops men from doing it twice though. I think the complaint is more that they do it the first time :)

Smart Women

Smart women? Yes please! Pretty but vacuous really doesn't do anything at all for me; great to look at, but no lasting appeal.

And I don't see many other countries offering much help when something like Katrina hits the USA.


"Foreign criticism of slow U.S. relief efforts have combined with official statements of sympathy and aid offers from at least 70 nations, including countries usually on the receiving end of U.S. and other foreign help. Among them was Bangladesh, which Monday pledged $1 million... Monday, Britain began airlifting a half million food ration packs to the USA... Germany sent 25 tons of food. Italy shipped meals ready to eat (MREs). France flew in tents and blankets... Cuban President Fidel Castro on Sunday repeated an offer of 1,586 Cuban doctors equipped with medical supplies"

why do people meet, get along so great and all the guy wants is to be intimate
Posted: 8/25/2007 10:32:46 AM
Did he actually deceive you, or was he simply not up-front about exactly where he thought things were going? You say he "used words that could melt butter", but it's not at all clear to me what you mean by that... Also, were you clear about what you wanted? Your profile does say that you're looking for friends after all.

Online Dating.............
Posted: 8/23/2007 12:32:40 PM
Well, I can think of a few reasons off the top of my head why he might have been checking a dating site while you were there:

* reading the forums
* reading your profile to make sure he had something right (favourite food, music, whatever)
* checking the details of a recipe
* absent-mindedly went there instead of the site he meant to go to
* it's his homepage (and he's logged in automatically on visiting the site - a number of sites give you that option), and he was actually trying to go somewhere else

or even

* someone else knows his password and it wasn't him
* the site is wrong (ie it's a bug)

Perhaps instead of posing this question to us, you should be asking him what it was about?
