new question: why do women just'dissapear' after a few messgaes back and forth? By the way, the messgaes were just casual conversation, no deep interrogation.


If it is casual chit chat and the convo isn't going anywhere and you have not asked to meet then what is the point? I disappear after a few messages too if I the convo is boring and not progressing.

Hi
How are you?
What is your name?
What are you doing?
How is your weekend?
What are you doing up late?
BLAH BLAH BLAH *yawn*

If you send a second message like that then probably your first one wasn't saying anything much. Sending a second message can work if you put in some effort. You NEED to ask a question of some sort or there is nothing to respond to.

Is being Separated on your status the Kiss of Death..
Posted: 11/17/2012 10:39:16 AM
@ OP A better way of putting it would be Kiss of Coma. Unless the woman herself is separated I can't see anyone knowingly dating a separated man from a dating site.

If its not instant messenger I don't see the big drama. Messages aren't real time... you answer when you answer. If someone is going to get upset because they had to wait 30 minutes to hear back from me I would assume that they are a nut job.

I'd rather not hear back than have some low IQ dingaling tell me that I'm too old;
when I'm 48 and she's 34.
That's the kind of insanity guys have to deal with.


Do you date 62 year old women? Just curious?

I think its an awful idea. Most of the time it will be because the person just isn't physically attracted. Other things come into play but if a person is really attracted to someone even if there are things on the profile that they don't like they will at least engage in some conversation to explore further.

Do men act more considerate to you when you are thinner?
Posted: 8/4/2012 4:51:59 PM

Hmmmm......I don't know; cuz seriously I am a big pile of disgusting fat. I have lard coming out of every pore, just like hanging, all over me! I am so morbidly obese I should have died like yesterday.

Despite this horrible body, I am treated great everywhere by everyone! Well, that's not completely true....sometimes some women will immediately hate me on sight. But in general I get treated nicely......and for some reason men act like they want to fxxk me. I don't understand this so I think I'm gonna ask the next one to explain why.


If you lost weight you would probably have people throwing themselves at your feet worshipping you then

I don't know if you have ever been thin but you really need to experience both to compare.

How late is too late to call?
Posted: 7/23/2012 3:41:51 PM

sounds like he does not respect your privacy, and calling that late at night probably means hes been sat on porn hub and needed to talk to a woman about how frustrated he is hehe..


Its not that serious that I need to change my number. You call late. I don't answer. End of story.

UPDATE: I have actually spoken to the guy and definitely something isn't right with him. Whatever it is I do not care to know, but he doesn't seem all there.

I gave a guy my number recently and he called at 2:30AM. I ignored it and texted him when I woke up at 5:30 that I work early and please don't ever call me so late again. He texted right back with "Ok" so I was hoping I had woken him up like he had woken me :P
Next night he calls at 1:30. I ignored him from then on - next night he called at 3AM. What a nightmare


sounds like a bloody nightmare! LMAOOO

I guess I don't really like him because I am indifferent.

I still prefer my old method, and I think I will try and stick to that, unless I really like the person and they insist on speaking to me. I've enjoyed all the dates I been on and none of them have been weirdos. (bar one) I've noticed the ones I have given my number to want to have endless chatter on the telephone and not actually meet. Of course everyone is different but I'm not buying this telephone lark.

Flakes out, but begs for another date months later?
Posted: 7/18/2012 1:18:59 PM
You have nothing to lose by just setting up another date, but at the same time it is likely he will probably flake out again but be indecisive to the point that you won't even want to meet up. That is my experience.

So many people on the forums say texters are a waste of time and he isn't a real man if he can't pick up the phone but to be honest I think I prefer it too!

I don't think I will share my thoughts with him simply because someone who calls at almost 1am on a first call to me just doesn't have simple etiquette and I can't be bothered with educating him. Of course if he pushes it I will tell him but its a wrap for me. I have no intention of taking it any further.

Posted: 7/18/2012 12:59:13 PM
I have to agree with you guys that before 9pm is reasonable, although up to ten is still in the realm of not being rude, but after that I think it is impolite.

I wonder if perhaps someone seeing you on-line late before makes them think they have the license to call you at any hour?

How late is too late to call?
Posted: 7/18/2012 12:45:39 PM
Just wondering what hour everyone thinks is too late for someone that you have just "met" (as in on-line and not yet physically) on a dating site to call you.

I don't normally give my number out as I prefer to meet first, however the other day against my better judgement I gave a guy my number. Lo and behold he called the following day at 12.45am (my phone was off as I was sleeping) and then sent a follow up text at 10 to 1 in the morning to say "You're probably sleeping as your phone is off. I'll chat to you tomorrow."

Now I was shocked. I would never call someone on a first call that late.

The next day he called at 10.15pm. Now granted this is a more reasonable hour, (but still late in my eyes) but I was already put off by the previous call. Now I ask you what would you deem too late?

By saying "no fatties" you will also put off those active slim women that you so desire, because you will seem overly shallow. any regular person just wouldn't reply.

Send another message?
Posted: 7/16/2012 11:46:23 AM

One of the funny side effects of the threaded messages, is when you get a message from a user which is attached to the one they previously sent weeks ago, and it's the same, word for word.


And most of the repeat messages are the same exact copy and paste... even if it was weeks before. I tell them I HEARD YOU ALREADY and then block if it is the 3rd time

I think some guys just message everyone that is online, so they won't remember who they messaged, as they are not paying attention.

I have been messaged before but not replied because it was the generic "Hi how was your weekend?" and then been messaged back by the same person who puts more effort into the message and then replied.

3 messages is too much and it is even worse with how the messages are done now because all your messages will be shown to her back to back and she will think WEIRDO! and most likely block you. By the time you get to the 3rd message it is going to sound like begging and a total turn off.

My 3 Year old Terror...
Posted: 7/16/2012 9:54:38 AM
If the child is as unruly as you say then if someone is just looking after him temporarily they are not going to enforce all these rules so he can throw things around and scream a lot.

You cannot blame other people because they way I would look at it is that the child has discipline issues and I am not his parent so I am not going to start the major work of disciplining him if his own parents cannot.

They are just going to give him what he wants so as to not cause a whole scene. Perhaps you need to limit the time he spends with these enablers, whoever they are.

Imaginary love triangle??
Posted: 7/16/2012 9:17:53 AM
You are not ready to let him go. That much is obvious. The only point in telling him is so he can persuade you that it is you he really wants. He will either do that and you will carry on seeing him, or he will be angry with you and cut you off. The choice is yours.

I think I am going to take time away from this site and the whole dating scene for a while and focus on spending time with my son. If you are seriously interested leave me an email and if I think it is something that is worth while to return the message I will but please don't get pissy if I don't email you back as I won't be on this site much anymore if at all soon.


<<< Just saw this on the OP's profile. I think you guys ran him off the site analysing his career and all.

Wow you are 31. I thought you would be late teens to early 20's. I was going to tell everybody to leave you alone because this is the kind of thing you would do as a teenager, and perhaps as people get older they forgot that they did things like this.

I think that there is no point continuing with this because YOU know they truth. If you tell him you know he will only attempt to convince you that he knew it was a fake profile yadda yadda yadda. I guess you could just tell him that someone called Dana contacted you and told you they were his girlfriend so you would like to end contact NOW.

Whats the Best Travel Advise You Could Give or Heard?
Posted: 7/16/2012 8:14:11 AM
I actually would never ask for a metered cab just because you can be taken on a trip around the world. I always negotiate the price to the destination before getting in and if they don't like my price I move on. Of course you have to have a price in mind in the first place!

Posted: 7/15/2012 2:44:00 PM

4 or 5 good messages. You talk on the PHONE and arrange a meet. If they dont talk on the phone they are not real and skip them. I have 200+ first POF meets and one last minute cancel. You will get better at picking out the fake time wasters as you get more experience on here.


I don't talk on the phone and I'm real. Most guys that want to do this phone stuff want to be talking for hours on end. I'm only interested in the number to contact if someone is going to be late, and even then everyone has smart phones so there is no actual need for it.

I would say always check trip advisor when it comes to accommodation. If every review mentions one particular thing, chances are it is going to be an issue!

I would also say less is more. Its taken me a long long time to figure out that I don't need to pack my whole wardrobe on a 2 week trip and if you factor in laundry facilities to wherever you go to, you can take even less!

She may just not be a phone person, or perhaps you phone her so much that to add more phone calls on top of that would just take up too much of her time.

How Long would you wait to meet?
Posted: 7/14/2012 12:20:50 PM
I am usually ready after a few days of messaging, up to about a week or two. After that it drags on and I will lose interest. I understand though that people are hesitant when they first sign up, because I was that way too, so I will make allowances.

There are instances where someone take so long that by the time that they are ready I just couldn't give a hoot about meeting them. Some guys like to have endless phone conversations day and night too. I generally don't give out my number for that reason.

What sort of first message do you normally send out? I find that sometimes people don't seem like they have read your profile and they don't ask you any questions about yourself, and they finish off after talking about themselves with "If you fancy a chat get back to me." Best to mention something in the profile and ask an open ended question to give something to reply to.

Should I be concerned that she may have lost interest?
Posted: 7/13/2012 11:27:38 PM
She is blowing you off and using the holiday and the move etc as an excuse. she had time to think on her holiday and decided that she wasn't that crazy about you. No doubt she thought that you were "alright" but just didn't want to pursue it. You are never too busy to make time for someone you are crazy about trust me.

On the plus side you know that she likes you somewhat because of the date you had before she left so there is still a chance to turn it around. I don't know exactly how though.
