Sending Messages, but No Replies Back
Posted: 5/7/2009 11:57:34 AM

Is it my profile or do I completly have the wrong self impression of myself. Do I look like an Ogre and not know it... If my profile is lacking something it would be nice to know.


Chances are it's not you. For the most part, the internet is the last bastion for daters. Most are incapable of being personable enough to meet people in real life and do not find it any easier on the internet. For others it's a place to set standards that are often times unreachable by anyone who has resorted to online dating. Again, this is a group that has issues meeting people in real life and they do not find it any easier on the internet.

They show you these people that have "made connections" but fail to also tell you those are out of millions of users. There are some 5 million + users on this site and very few make connections.

You can email women on here and 9 out of 10 probably will not respond. The chances of anything happening with the one that does is probably 10%. This site is full of fickle and unappreciative people and you will probably experience many "1 and done" email scenarios as you sort through the pictures and profiles of women you think you might be attracted to or to whom you think you might be attractive. In that vain, increase your odds severely. Best case scenario is you get back out in the real world and find a person that compliments you through a hobby or something in which you have similar interests. The success rate over the internet has very slim margins despite all those pics you see in the testimonials.

What is considered Physical abuse

Walk out moron. Never put your hands on a woman. Sounds like you enjoy the abuse and the fighting since you don't do anything constructive to alleviate it.

So.. Is NOT being able to have children a turn off?
Posted: 4/30/2008 7:00:53 AM
Not necessarily a turn off and it doesn't preclude me from contacting someone that has that listed as "no". I speak and chat to people all the time that are done having kids - despite the fact that my wishes are opposite and clearly shown on my profile. To me, that drop down asks me if I would like to have kids in the future.

It says "do you want children", not "will you accept someone who already has kids". If that is your case, then perhaps you may want delineate that point so you don't waste any more of your time.

Why do people do this?
Posted: 4/27/2008 1:51:18 PM
It's all part of the "game" and particularly amusing when they have "not into games" listed in their profile. Women do the same thing to me that you're experiencing.

Some people "use" this site as a barometer for self esteem. They email people to see if they can get a response and then they are simply satisfied that you responded....hence, building self esteem. We agree that things should not be so serious, but there are high percentages that want to syphon into their own tank of self esteem.

Moving in?
Posted: 4/16/2008 10:22:35 AM
Hard to say without intimate knowledge of the intricacies of the relationship. Hence, it varies. Questions I might ask myself ....

Are you spending more time at one than the other? Is there something in your thoughts that make you believe you may wanna move out of the cohabitation situation? Are you entering the situation to find out if this is someone you could marry? Would you get married knowing there is a possibility of divorce? If you really have to think about it and seek outside counsel, maybe you need to reconsider it all together.

I'd put money on this escalating since you are trying to evade them, especially since they are taunting you....Good luck in your bad beat.

do I cheat after almost 20 years?
Posted: 4/7/2008 8:51:48 PM
Miashakti ---

I think you may have mistaken me for someone who cares whether we agree or not. Sorry, I don't.

But... thanks for taking the time and acknowledging my points. Since you've instigated the situation, allow me to retort. There's absolutely nothing subtle about someone looking for advice about whether to cheat on the father of her children. I live in reality, do not cheat, and will not cheat. It's reprehensible and immoral. GMAFB.

I love my partner of 19 years but I am not in love with him.


Sounds like a friendship of contradictions.


We no longer have sex or even kiss/ cuddle but we have 3 girls who are teenagers and love their dad. I am financially dependent on him.


Sounds like you're using him.


I have never had another man but am close to it now.


Sounds like you want someone to validate your inclination to be a reprobate. Make an honest woman of yourself and leave because you're just wasting his life and that of your children.

Listed as Professional
Posted: 3/31/2008 10:40:25 PM
Noun
S: (n) professional, professional person (a person engaged in one of the learned professions of law, medicine, teaching)
S: (n) professional, pro (an athlete who plays for pay)
S: (n) certified master, professional (an authority qualified to teach apprentices)

Definition
A professional is a worker required to possess a large body of knowledge derived from extensive academic study (usually tertiary), with the training almost always formalized.

Professionals are at least to a degree self-regulating, in that they control the training and evaluation processes that admit new persons to the field, and in judging whether the work done by their members is up to standard. This differs from other kinds of work where regulation (if considered necessary) is imposed by the state, or where official quality standards are often lacking. Professions have some historical links to guilds in these regards.

Professionals usually have autonomy in the workplace—they are expected to utilize their independent judgement and professional ethics in carrying out their responsibilities. This holds true even if they are employees instead of working on their own. Typically a professional provides a service (in exchange for payment or salary), in accordance with established protocols for licensing, ethics, procedures, standards of service and training / certification.

The above definitions were echoed by economist and sociologist Max Weber, who noted that professions are defined by the power to exclude and control admission to the profession, as well as by the development of a particular vocabulary specific to the occupation, and at least somewhat incomprehensible to outsiders.

What qualifies someone to refer to themselves as a professional? A person can appear professional, act professional, and conduct themselves professionally.

Yet, can they, in a profile, truly refer to themselves as a professional in terms of their employment if they are not engaged in one of the learned professions - ie medicine, law, teaching?

Why does a lengthy chat or phone conversation mean that you MUST date them?
Posted: 3/24/2008 9:53:04 PM
Dude...obviously anyone can make an argument out of anything and others like to hear themselves rant because they love the power of pontificating.

To digress, I feel the pain mentioned in the OP about the phone thing and all of a sudden she gets "possessive". Without trying to articulate too much, this is the cost of doing business, as I've experienced, in this internet dating phenomenon. There are a ton of needy people out there that latch on like a dog on a leg at the first sign of attention. You will have to deal with this if you continue in the medium of POF or other dating sites.

Sorry if I wasn't argumentative enough.

I'm too lazy to read every post, but the one thing I found in your profile was that, intended or not, you make it appear that you are constantly rejected and stood up on dates.

Also, while honest, negativity is not like honey or an aphrodesiac.

Dating in the Old Days .. any Thoughts?
Posted: 3/24/2008 6:38:58 PM
The anonymity of the internet surely provides a "warm blanket" for those with a crass and obnoxious personality. Simply, it allows people to hit-n-run with insensitivity and rudeness.

I think you're absolutely correct.

It would be nice if it could be changed, but, as a whole, it's not going to. The superficiality has always been there, but todays world finds concession, flexibility, and compromise nearly non existant.

Did Butchy's reference have anything to do with being loud in a library or some place else?

How come the guys that called you out on the fact that you stood them up were deleted from the post by you? Perhaps, in addition to your loud traits, add "will lie, insult, and delete if I don't agree with a person being upset over being blown off". Your profile aint the problem.

PLEASE, you can delete mine too - as I now recognize my own idiocy in contributing to your self serving quest for validation through veiled pomposity.

Well Sienna, what's happening to you ladies sucks. But honestly, it is everywhere - be it POF or online poker. There are always liars/posers trying to flame something out of a smoldering desire to play the "Woody Woodpecker" instigator game. You are right in that there are some nasty people that get their kicks in manipulating people, even if it's via email. It seems that some revel in the power that is the anonymity of the internet. Only you can unarm them in their sad lives.

In that vain, I would suggest the obvious in that you don't get involved in any multi emails where someone is making strange requests and make use of the block feature on your email from the get go.

Posted: 3/14/2008 7:17:33 AM
If you even find yourself suspicious with the need to check up on him, it is time to get out. If you are inclined to be so emotionally moved that you have to result in backdoor investigations, it's time to get out. It's all a waste of time and, at 49 you probably have some intuition that can detect Bullshit on your radar. If you are so blinded by a need for love that you are willing to try to overlook those little things that cause you concern - not like leaving a wet towel on the bed - it's time to get out.

It's truly not about the BS that people pull on here or the guys that don't agree with your tactics. The real issue is that you allowed yourself to be drawn into it. Is it about him being on POF or is it about the fact that he tried to hide it from you? I think the latter is the more salient issue because you don't seem like the type that wouldn't allow your partner to have friends. Any man that wants to cheat is going to be smart enough to evade your detection methods. Yet it sounds like he went out of his way to allow your insight - or he was just a complete moron. Either way, stay out of the drama and stop settling. Again, you have to have rules to wade through the waste high muck that is the BS of dating or you will end up in the hen house. Rules set a standard and why should you bend your own standards?

Way too long, contradictory, ambiguous, and too many self deprecating spots where you may be trying to be humble. There's a difference between the last two.

Rewrite it with a paragraph telling the reader about you, another about what you are looking for, and one about something interesting you've done.

Remove any reflections of your pay and, jesus, remove the part where you announce that you are as shallow as a puddle in the Sahara.

Make sure that everything comes across as a positive.

How Can I Get A Guy To Talk To Me?
Posted: 3/13/2008 12:30:19 PM
Your profile is ambiguous at best and is filled with several contradictions.


really active woman and hate sitting for long periods of time unless ....
I love doing hundreds of sports...most of the things you name, I'll do...


The next quote reeks of desperation and leads a reader to believe that you'll take anything as long as he can convince you that he is those characteristics you mentioned right before this statement.


I'm really not picky as long as the guy respects me for who I am.


Try rewriting to include a paragraph about what/how you are and one defining what you want in a man.

Listen to the guy that talked about your pics and write what "you" would like to do on a first date.

Remove/rewrite any statements where you use the words "hate", "not", and "don't". No negativity.

Lastly, you have a 3 year window in your mail settings. Most kids that age are not on the internet looking for love or sex. That could be your biggest obstacle.

SO YES AM DESPERATELY IN LOVE AND COULD NOT POSSIBLY FIND ANYTHING MORE ON HERE


While I don't agree with the negative emails, I am relatively sure that this quote is a large part of what instigates them. Contrary to your intent, this statement looks, feels, tastes, and comes at the reader like a veiled slap in the face. Furthermore, it is SCREAMED at the reader in the first line. Simplified, the statement seems angry and those emails are probably knee-jerk reactions by morons that didn't read your profile from the beginning. Anything else they knitpick is just ancillary bullshit.

Try moving it to the end or, better yet, snip it out. You may have different results.

NO replies, NO messages and Only the Oddest fish in my net
Posted: 3/13/2008 11:31:20 AM
Perhaps, you may need to revamp your approach in that initial email.

I receive those "match lists" and discard them. I'm a big proponent of the philosophy that nothing worthwhile is ever served up to me. Plus, I get the impression that those lists are generated via one word matches between profiles - i.e. listings in your interests section. Thus, try adding a little "hunting" to your list of things to do.

The systematic "lack of replies" is not solely exclusive to you. In fact, you can see the subject discussed throughout a number of the forums. It is what is, unfortunately. However, keep up the due diligence that on line dating requires and keep in mind that you have only been a member for less than two months.

Best of luck.

Agreed, take a look from the perspective of the men who constructively contributed to your request for suggestions. Omnivorously ignore the pomposity of the failed, the inanely critical, and any analogies with the death of your ass. Having standards will not kill you and yours are not overtly alienating.

Just "tweak" your profile and add a little patience.

Good luck Pam.

The reseaching can be rationalized to the hilt, but you haven't denied the most obvious thing about your inclination to be suspicious. It' s from experience, right?

Nonetheless, only kids should jump into love...or livin w someone ... but everyone falls out of it. To much that is given, much is expected. Love doesn't rush, but it's two party consent when people do. Slow down and get to know someone before opening up your life. Everyone has a code and everyone must adhere to it. POF is nothing more than social networking, but you need to temper the natural desire to give away the password to you.

Take all of your experiences and create some rules that will set benchmarks or thresholds you will need to achieve and cross to feel that you know a new person. You cannot get to know someone well in only 2 months, but it works.

Obviously you are seriously looking for someone. Your extensive mail settings are definitely a hinderance. I undertstand weeding out the pervs, but are you completely unwilling to speak w someone who is a year or a mile off? Aren't you going to chat and date first? You seem bright enough to find alternative methods to dealing with email and profiles that don't fit you. Sometimes less is not more.

Best of luck.

Posted: 3/12/2008 7:01:00 PM
I agree with the more pics thing and that you need not pretend to be someone you're not. Perhaps put up some pics engaged in one of your interests, but definitely add a shot that shows you from head to toe.

Add a few more interests.

Change some of the verbage in your paragraph to reflect something positive in place of the negativity that comes across when you say something like "Baggage and sketchiness are definitely a no no". Instead try, "I'm interested in someone who is independant and confident". Spell out the fact that you don't want someone with kids, but if you're looking for someone in the designated age range with no baggage then you might as well start looking for a hen with teeth. Spend more time writing about what you want instead of what you don't want. There are ways to alliterate what you don't want by saying what you do. Differentiate and space out the paragraphs about you and about what you want. Lastly, think about removing all "lol"s and "lmao"s because someone may interpret it as bullshitting.

Some of your mail settings maybe precluding you from getting emails too.

Yours is pretty good, but try some of this on and see if it fits. It's certainly not going to be lie if you only go about something if you choose a different path.

In the first part, you do come across as very negative in your profile. The negativity paints a picture that you are looking for Mr. Perfect. It also "says" that you are very high maintenance as it was alot of work to wade through your writing.

If it is your intent to fulfill the stigma you mentioned in your title, then don't change a thing. However, if is not yout intent to generate those emails with monikers, perhaps you should consider your presentation and approach. There are plenty of ways to present your preferences without sounding like a complete snob. After all, no one likes their lobster served up with a bed of garbage. You are beautiful on the outside, try to summon the beauty on the inside.

49? You can't be this stupid or naive that you have to ask for advice.... but talking about moving in so shortly after meeting someone you've never known doesn't seem like the most clever of considerations.

Nonetheless, great catch on the drunken cheater...you sure he's not 25?

Don't be a donkey.

The thing was way to long to analyze, so I cut to the chase: gone are all negativity spelling and grammar errors, redundancy, and just plain ole stuff most guys couldn't care less about. While not perfect, it's a start 'cause that prof was way too long.

Also, you need a full body shot in your pics and a pic that someone else took where we're not looking down at your head. Plus, you put " a few extra pounds" and to some morons that means 200 pounds overweight. Also, that pic where we see your whole face needs to be removed because it looks like you're about to scratch out the eyes of the eprson taking it.

Cut the interests section down to 8 to 10 that are important to you.

Here is your revised profile:

I try to be good hearted and kind, truthful and loyal. I do anything that I possibly can for my family or friends! They are very important to me. I love to laugh, go out with friends and family, and have a drink on the weekends. I love both excitement and living a fairly simple life. I am not stuck up, full of myself, or a prim and proper type. I am always up for a good time with friends, family, and that "special someone". I do have a few smaller tattoos and my tounge is pierced. In the summer my favorite thing is to go out muddin' (with a truck or 4 wheeler)I also like swimming and my fravorite place in the summer is at "The Falls". Fall is my favorite season as I love to see the leaves changing. I truly believe that it's how you treat other people that matters.

I love music, with a few exceptions... classical, techno and Screaming metal!!! For the most part, I like classic rock like AC/DC, BTO, CCR,and Lynard Skynard. But my favorite music is country! Anything from George Jones to Brad Paisley and my Favorite all time singer is Garth Brooks.

I enjoy watching a game of hockey on the t.v. or going to a game if I have a chance. A live game is so much better. I go for Maple Leafs, Flames and the Penguins. (Penguins mainly just because of Corsby... good ol' maritime boy made er' big lol)

I am lookin for a guy who knows how to have a good time, have a good laugh, likes to get out, likes back roadin', likes country music and of course, would like me for who I am. I would love to find someone who is good hearted, trustworthy, confident, respectful, a little wild though... spontaneous and outgoing. Someone who is sweet and kind hearted. Someone whose personality really shines.

I love to cuddle and would like to spend quite a bit of time with him... he would be able to have his own time with the guys... I am not that clingy. But I do like my share of attention from him. I must add that I don't mind if a man has children.

If you liked my profile and want to chat, hit me up, don't be shy!

No interest!

You should add some interests and write a little more about yourself in the About Me. Break that section into two paragraphs...one about you and the other about what you are looking for.

Try some additional pics, perhaps engaged in some interests and/or some full body. You are a pretty woman, so you don't really need to share a pic with other pretty women. You don't want anyone thinkin about your hot friends. Cut the third one out or crop your girls out.

Other than that, try taking out some of your mail settings becasue they are limiting who can email you. I understand that you are looking for someone close, but what if that person lives only 80 miles from you or is 40. You always will have the option to say "no thank you", but I never get why people want to limit people off the bat - well, except for the pervs looking for IE.

Good luck.
