Help with safety issue please?
Posted: 9/26/2007 5:57:52 PM
If I want to talk to someone I have been chatting with in the POF pond, I ask them to call me by dialing *67 and then my number to block me from seeing their number on my caller ID.

I know that I'm giving a gal I don't really know, my phone number, and that perhaps I may be sexually attacked in my sleep, but I've been really lucky so far.

What would you do if you know a woman on POF is playing guys for financial help
Posted: 9/26/2007 4:49:18 PM
It took you an entire year to discover that you were the victim of a gold digger?


I would be doing some serious soul searching to find out why I didn't catch on sooner and working out a way to prevent this from ever happening to me again.

I can only hope that she meets a rich guy who feels the only way he can have a relationship with a woman is to buy her affection. They should get along just fine in their own little twisted way, until he runs out of money.

My ex says I am a disgrace for being on an internet dating site
Posted: 9/14/2007 5:59:37 PM
My ex is bombarding me with texts and has done so for the last few months to tell me what "a disgrace I am as a mother to be selling myself on an internet dating site".


I had an "X" girlfriend who accused me of being a sick, twisted pervert for being on an internet dating site.

You get one guess as to where I met her in the first place.

Whatever happened to joining a chess club to meet people .
Instead we chat to faceless people who could be anyone.


I meet more people through POF than through the chess club. They are only faceless people until you get out and actually meet them. Once you meet them you can end up with some great new friends and perhaps the love of your life.

Nurturing
Posted: 9/14/2007 5:10:51 PM
Hmmmm...... I had to look this word up to be sure.

1 : to supply with nourishment
2 : EDUCATE
3 : to further the development of : FOSTER
- nur·tur·er

I believe a healthy relationship is when two partners nurture EACH OTHER and help each other to learn new skills and to share new experiences in a positive manner.

We each have our own special skills that we are good at and it's great to share these with a partner who is willing and eager to learn.

Why do single women put their sexual needs over their friendships?
Posted: 9/13/2007 9:58:05 AM

If I had spelled everything out in the first post I would have had a dozen complaints for having a long post.


I came to the same conclusions as verygreeneyez.

Why post a thread on here giving only a misleading portion of the whole story and then being upset with the responses?

My SO is secure and confident enough with herself to know that even if one of her friends walked into the room stark naked in front of me that it would be no threat to our relationship at all. I get the impression so far that the problems are with YOUR perceptions.

Exclusive Dating?
Posted: 9/13/2007 5:55:46 AM

If you've had the "talk" about dating each other exclusively
and he says no - what then?


Your profile says you are looking for an activity partner. But everything else in your profile seems to indicate to me that you are really looking for a Long Term Relationship.

Since this guy can't provide the commitment you are looking for.... move on and keep fishing. If you like him as a friend, keep in touch purely on a friendship basis.

I wish you the best of luck in finding the right person you are looking for.

...what is it with (some) men that think younger women are better???


I was looking for someone to share my activities with who is close to my age but I wasn't having any luck. Even the POF personality matches are mostly younger women who are 10 to 15 years younger.

I really don't understand why this is.

What's this for??? [do men understand a woman's body]
Posted: 9/12/2007 2:25:41 PM

Bbb does a man care about a women or they just out for there needs and not the women's needs?


Sex is a two way street. A mature man does care about his partner's needs. An immature person who is self centered and selfish is missing out on great sex. One sided sex gets pretty damn boring in a hurry.

Some women are just as guilty of this as men. They want their big "O's" and have no concern for their partner's needs whatsoever (yawn).

POF Compatibility Matches are much younger - Why?
Posted: 9/12/2007 10:04:03 AM
After a few months of filling out the POF Personality Test, I check from time to time to " View Matches Based On Personality!"

Nearly all of the matches that are rated at over 90% are with women who are 10 to 15 years younger than I am.

I don't know why this is.

Are any of you finding similar results?

Don't tell anyone...
Posted: 9/12/2007 9:38:30 AM
This is a GREAT topic !

I did a search on the Forums for confidentiality, anonymity, gossip, and related words and there isn't much posted.

When I have a private conversation with someone, I expect that what I state about my opinions and feelings will remain confidential with that person.

It's a matter of TRUST !

When a person has nothing better to do than run around like a dyslexic parrot, attempting to repeat (or often misquote) everything that I said to everyone they come in contact with, I can no longer trust that person and it's very difficult to even continue to think of them as a "friend".

I can't be bothered to waste my time associating with small minded, self centered gossipmongers.

As a result, I simply limit my vocabulary during any further contact or conversations with these pathetic little people to "hi" and "goodbye".

How long is too long to call?
Posted: 9/12/2007 8:00:22 AM

How long is too long to call?


If I contact someone or go out with them, there is no reason why they can't contact me the next time. Normally after a date I will call to say thank you. If I don't get a reply back....... ..... no reply is an answer.

If they were not interested in keeping in touch with you then, they are probably not interested in having anything to do with you now.

Should you stay in a relationship if the person you love can't show affection?
Posted: 9/12/2007 5:25:36 AM
My friend in a relationship with a man who simply states that he is not affectionate. He refuses sex and tells her that she is too horny.



I also have to mention that he has been battling alcoholism for his whole life. He was sober up until the last 4 months.


There are lots of Forum Threads about relationships with alcoholics that have great advice in them.

http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts8112294.aspx

http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts4557363.aspx

http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts7067203.aspx

These are just three samples.

I don't know why anyone would want to be in a relationship with someone who is incapable of showing affection, consideration, or respect, for their partner.

My suggestion is for her to find and attend local Al-Anon meetings.

Are we primarily looking for someone to love us, above loving them?
Posted: 9/11/2007 10:05:16 AM

But during the fishing stage, are you looking to primarily BE loved or TO love?
Hmm, is it perchance better to look TO love?


I would say that initially I am looking for someone TO love and then to see if that love can be reciprocated.

If I'm going to always be number two behind drugs and alcohol, I'm wasting my time.

If I'm going to always be number two with a self centered, selfish person who puts themselves first and uses other people, then I'm wasting my time.

If I'm always going to be number two behind the "X", then I'm wasting my time.

drugs, alcohol, hypnosis, ECT, just how do they wipe memories from their mind


You keep and use the memories of the events that happened. They are what make you a unique person.

You learn to identify and accept the things you cannot change. Don't knock yourself out obsessing over things you cannot change.

You learn to identify and improve the things you can change. Start with yourself. You can change your attitudes, goals, and become a better, stronger person by learning from your past memories.

Posted: 9/10/2007 8:20:29 PM

Anyone that has made this choice..can you shed some light on this matter for me..care to share as to why you have chosen not to carry on your blood-line?


I have no kids (that I'm aware of) and I guess I kept postponing it until I felt that I could afford to have them. It's too late now, but I really don't regret not having any.

I'm not all that hung up with feelings of superiority for carrying on "my bloodline".

I don't feel insecure at all. I simply ask what my partner likes and I try to please.

If she's does not make any attempt to reciprocate, then I'm not particularly satisfied with her. Having sex with a self centered, selfish person is a total waste of time and energy.

Living in a loveless relationship and cheating
Posted: 9/7/2007 4:08:04 AM
When a relationship is over and finished with no hope for recovery then it's time to move on.

The actual legal status is irrelevant. The key point is that the relationship is PERMANENTLY finished.

If your partner died and you went out on a date, that would not be considered to be cheating.

If the relationship has died then going out on a date is not cheating either.

Friends only - mixed messages?
Posted: 9/5/2007 7:02:12 AM

I want to try meeting new people as friends, working on building a good friendship first - then pursuing something romantic if we're so inclined.



I believe that in the long term for a healthy relationship, you must be both best friends AND lovers.

It doesn't matter what comes first, the friendship or the romance. You need BOTH for a successful relationship to survive.

I tend to favour developing the "friendship" first and getting to share a variety of activities, hobbies, and really getting to know each other.



Once a guy's in 'the friend zone' is there any way to get out?


If the attraction/chemistry is there on both sides, there should be NO problem stepping up to a romantic relationship. Sometimes this takes a long time to develop or the timing just has to be right.

The hard part for me is that when a romantic relationship is over because things didn't work out, stepping back to just being friends again.

Not Single/Not Looking
Posted: 8/29/2007 9:46:01 AM

I am honest and open about being in a relationship but still I get messages from guys that want to hook up with me. Why is that?


I have found my "special fishie" in the POF pond and we still go to the singles activities because of all the great friends we met there.

When I come across a person who I feel has the same interests that I do (music, singalongs, dancing) and may enjoy coming out too, I will contact them and invite them to come out. If that person is presently dating someone else I ask them to bring their SO along too.

It's all about making new friends and having a fun group of people to share activities with.

when , after meeting someone on here , is the best time to delete you'r profile on pof ?
Posted: 8/29/2007 9:35:28 AM

when do tou think, after meeting someone on plenty of fish , is the best time to delete you'r profile as a sign of commitment?


I don't feel it's necessary to delete one's profile as a sign of commitment. I simply modified my profile

1 It's hidden

2 My status is "single/not looking

3 I added a statement to my profile that I have found my "special person".

I have met a lot of great friends and have had a lot of fun in the forums. My SO and I still attend POF activities and singles group activities where we met so many friends before we began seeing each other exclusively. Neither one of us will be deleting our profiles. When we attend these activities we both mix with the group and try to act like host/hostess to make newcomers feel at home.

Neither one us us feels so insecure that we would be at all upset with the other if we met other friends at these events or even online in POF. We go there together and we leave together. There are a lot of other better ways to show commitment besides deleting one's profile.

A person can NEVER have too many good friends.

i want out of this alcoholic nightmare
Posted: 8/28/2007 6:32:35 AM
Al-Anon has been a wonderful experience for me.

Where some people have not benefitted from it and feel it is some sort of cult, I have found it to be a very valuable and worthwhile program. Although it's main purpose is to develop skills to help people to cope with families and friends of alcoholics, it has many other benefits as well.

The basic belief is that "We admitted that we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable." We didn't cause the problem and we can't fix it. The only solution is to change ourselves and how we deal with situations. Often, the person who is in a relationship with an alcoholic gets just as sick in their own way and Al-Anon is a support group to deal with these problems.

The extra benefits include much improved skills for communication, problem solving, anger mangement, handling stress, and focusing on yourself in a good way. Another bonus is that you will meet a lot of new friends.

If you do decide to attend an Al-Anon meeting, make sure you stick it out for at least six meetings before coming to any conclusions.

Timeframe for becoming exclusive - to the men here on POF
Posted: 8/21/2007 2:42:02 AM

After 7 weeks, should they already have discussed being exclusive with each other or is 7 weeks too short a period of time for that to happen?


My guess is that this time frame will vary for every couple and there is no standard timeframe. I went out with my SO for almost three months before the "exclusive" discussion occurred. In other relationships, this topic came up much earlier.

I scare people away because I have too many interests and hobbies?!
Posted: 8/20/2007 10:38:07 AM

This being said, I've run into many women who simply say that they are overwhelmed and would run out of energy with someone who has this much going on. That, and many of my interests are not what it seems many females are interested in, especially in this conservative area.


I'm the same way except that I'm a lot older. I've been looking for someone to share all of these hobbies and interests with. I want an equal partner to share with, not an audience of one. I don't mind scaring some away because of this. I'm the one who's NOT interested if my date is not willing to learn and participate.

It took a long time but I finally found her and we are having a great time together. I'm glad I didn't settle for anything less.

Are frugal and thrifty synonyms for greedy?
Posted: 8/9/2007 6:57:28 AM

.... I’ve come to the conclusion that, in many cases, the “rainy day” and “can’t afford it” excuses are nothing more than a cover up for selfish and greedy behaviour.


If the OP thinks that when someone else's spending priorities are different from their own, that translates to being selfish and greedy, I think there is a serious perception problem here.

The "rainy day" and "can't afford it" excuses simply tell me that they wish to spend their hard earned money on something else that is more important to them, not to you. To accuse them of being selfish and greedy because they don't walk to your beat is pretty presumptuous on your part.

When a man loves a woman
Posted: 8/8/2007 4:32:24 AM

I was wondering really in reality is this happening? Do men think that way? If yes, how come not many show it?


I believe that young boys are trained as they grow up to supress their feelings. It's a BS macho thing where you never cry, never show how you are feeling. "Suck it up and act like a man."

I'm finding late in life that I want to express how I feel and have great difficulty simply identifying my feelings and expressing them (just never thought about it much before).

I realise now, that telling others exactly how I feel ( I have no clue as to how they feel unless they tell me flat out.) is necessary for more open and effective communication and yet it does not come easy for me.

Another skill to learn here.

How important is sex in a relationship?
Posted: 8/2/2007 5:03:06 AM

You have sex and it wasn't good, what would you do? Would you just break up, would you talk to your partner about it, or just say nothing and hope it gets better?


I believe that bad sex is normally due to the fact that one of the partners is out to only please themselves and shows no respect or concern for the other person. When both parties communicate openly, honestly, make the effort to please each other and to determine what the other person wants then having sex is a great experience.

When one person goes all out to GIVE the best they can, and the other person is out to simply TAKE all the pleasure they can with no attempt to reciprocate, things are going to get worse, not better.

Posted: 7/18/2007 3:35:35 AM

It takes time to get to know someone but why do some flake off right from the start??? Try to meet people and then guys who change times of the meetings and ask you to reschedule over and over......


It was this kind of behaviour that led to me asking people to simply come out to a POF coffee meet or other activity if they wanted to meet me. This way I had a great time regardless of whether or not they showed up.

There are other advantages to this way of meeting people. I get to see how they act in a group setting. With all of the interaction of the group, there is never a lack of topics to discuss. It works for me.

They like to laugh.

All women have their own idiosyncracies and quirks, but in this respect they are virtually universal. So, really, what you have to do is just entertain them; they are like children.



Well golly gee whiz Mr Bain!!!!!

Separated, But Dating... Good or Bad?
Posted: 7/16/2007 6:21:31 AM
Does separation mean "I love you, but I wanna date other people?" OR does it mean "I love you, but I think we need time apart to think about things"?


NEITHER!!!

Separation to me means the relationship is over, done, finished, kaput, and there is no hope for ever getting back together again.

I was separated for many, many years and living common law in another relationship that lasted 22 years. The divorce came many, many years later when the "X" decided that she wanted to get married again to someone else and was actually willing to co-operate with a speedy, inexpensive divorce.

Ummm.... Errrrr........... Ahhhhh.........

I guess the magical point in time would be when both my big head and my little head were thinking the SAME thing at the same time. (wink)

When does dating become a relationship?
Posted: 7/16/2007 5:42:07 AM

Do we communicate the changes from dating to something more serious or is it just assumed?


ASSUMPTIONS are often what gets us into a lot of trouble.

Dating changes to an exclusive relationship when two people discuss this topic and BOTH of them agree to this new arrangement. Clear communication is the key to a good relationship with NO assumptions.

Am I doing something wrong?
Posted: 7/16/2007 5:35:45 AM

I send somebody in my local area a private message just to say "Hello". I talk about their interests, but I never receive a response, and when I do receive a response a couple of the people who've replied were pretty rude, as if I woke them up at three in the morning or something.


I don't like it when I get "IM'd" when I'm in the middle of concentrating on something else (I'm just a typical guy who can't multitask). I do NOT IM people I don't know. Instead I will type out a message and communicate that way.

I will only IM someone AFTER we have exchanged typed messages. This way they have had time to read my profile and hopefully have some intelligent questions to ask.


I feel that IM'ing people as a method of INITIAL contact is somewhat rude, but this is just my teeny opinion.

For those with experience -- Does this really work?
Posted: 7/16/2007 5:19:54 AM
Yep, really worked for me.

I have met a pile of really great friends in the POF pond and finally after many months I found my "special fishie". I would recommend this site to anyone. It's GREAT!!!!

Although I have my "special person" we continue to attend POF activities together and keep in touch with our POF friends.

I always try to initiate a meeting ASAP by inviting the other person out to a POF activity and introducing them to the rest of the gang. This way if they don't show up, I'm not overly concerned, and if we don't get along...... well.....hopefully they will at least enjoy meeting the rest of the group.
