please delete my account
Posted: 10/19/2012 4:54:04 PM
Please delete my account. I have written to CSR@pof.com twice ( no response)

I have physically logged in to my profile and clicked on delete my account, under help (3 times now).

My account is not deleting.

I don't know how my username pulls up in a search under a listing for freesexsitePOF, but I signed up for a 'free dating site' and have always had intimate encounters blocked. I have neither visited nor written in the sexuality forums. The recent discovery has informed me this is not the place for me. I have enjoyed the lovely folks on these forums but I am done here and anything you can do to help permanently delete my profile would be much appreciated.

Respects,

Getting touchy feely on the first date...
Posted: 10/14/2012 8:02:17 PM
why would someone who's never met you before do this? BECAUSE- guys are getting POF ads for ' free whoopdewwhoop'.
Just discovered this after googling my own username. Oh what a shock! Now it all makes sense. Thank God there are still men out there who know better, are not so easaily misled and have some standards of decency and good manners!

seeing someone.,, but still meet...?
Posted: 10/13/2012 8:36:40 PM
Doesn't sound like the best time for her to be accumulating more guy friends. She should put her all into her new relationship. Makes me wonder if she is a user type who keeps a backup stallion in the stable. I don't feel quite right about this as you have presented it, but more importantly, is how YOU feel
-Do you feel like plan B? That's not helpful for self esteem, OP.

When to step up?
Posted: 10/13/2012 8:31:59 PM
I have had friends I've known since childhood. We've had our 'all about me and new Man in love' times where we didn't hear from each other for a year or more. Guess what though, OP. We're still friends. We have phones and puters and planes and manage to keep in touch. True friends never really go away.They just give the attention you once had more of to someone new, and that's ok, bc as you yourself acknowledged, they are happy in love.
Don't worry!If she's really a friend, you'll hear from her again at some point :)

Time for a skill test !
Posted: 10/10/2012 9:53:56 PM
Here I was getting revved for passing another test ....haha
where's the test part of this now?....

~OP, one thing that I noticed was- you want dating, not long term
and in your first date list, including the preliminary alcohol (duly noted for possible later involvement with the romance portion)
'romance'
ok, it's a date: SOME romantic sentiment is naturally implied even if its just sweet gazes and hand holding
going a step further to spell it out though?
Well......then I wondered if this was the lead up to an intimate encounter you were hoping for at the end of your umm date??
-also, is there a reason the top of your head is chopped off? I thought you were supposed to 'lose your mind' AFTER you fall in love, not before...

What am I doing Wrong??
Posted: 10/9/2012 11:36:52 PM
well, OP,
your profile is a pleasure to read and well written...
2 things:
1. your height is an asset, so are your heart and mind (we'll get to those too soon). I date tall myself, HOWEVER, consider weight-we need to breathe! It sounded like, from your profile description, 'I'm a big guy, deal with it...' You can be tall AND in shape where no woman would have something like 'ability to breathe', OR
'overweight=stroke, heart attack risk', cross her mind.....in case that never occurred to you. I didn't notice your age but by the looks of you, time to start making good choices and planning for your future, right OP-consider every single thing you eat and drink. I know you tall guys can lose a few extra pounds quicker than the short ones. Also know your uh 'equipment' works better when you're fit, as your doctor told you however many years ago that was now when you went for your wellness checkup that all you guys just love ;)

2. Make your primary pic of you only, otherwise a gal might feel she'd come second to the car/garage/race

good luck OP! (maybe you'll meet a Lady at the mall when you are shopping for those sizes you dropped)

I think my approach needs work
Posted: 10/9/2012 7:55:26 PM
#1- = tell me where you usually go so I can stalk you (that's why we're evasive on being pinned down for where and when questions with guys we don't know)

#2 -translated-I've never met you before, but I'll do a half negger move mentioning 'won't judge you', then tell you I expect you to laugh at the neg--- FAIL, OP

Keep it safe ( don't ask for such personal info re her whereabouts , respectful and friendly) If you want to make a joke, make one humbling you/ at your 'expense', NOT the one you're trying to interest. That message above is taking a liberty, pushing and breaking ice, social barrier that is HER choice whether or not to soften, not yours. You ASSUMED she would be okay with disrespect like that and you dont even know her!!!! No wonder noone answers you!

Try to put yourself in her shoes recieving a message like this OP> Think of your little sister, cousin, niece. How would you advise her to respond?

Now you know-he's not a true friend. He was lying in wait with a plan to take second pass all along. Why would he? Maybe he's a coward. You know him better than we do. Best not to apply your experience with this one guy to all men. Sounds like, He's not 'the one'. There are loads of lovely caring single men out there. Learning experience for you about intent as well as the definition of a true friend. That's ok, OP, you win some you lose some... We all learn as we go and grow :)

Posted: 10/9/2012 5:02:57 PM
Hi OP
Is that a Haflinger Paint?
Sorry, couldn't resist, first things first... Horses perk my ears right up. :)

ok, on to the q-Unless you work at a very large company where there is no chance one of you might get promoted in position over the other, it would be a wise idea to spend time thinking about the consequences of your decision to make your overture. In this case, not just the friendship is at stake, so is your job. Only you can make the decision. Best to think it over carefully.
All the best, and a carrot for the horsey, OP :)

A Chocoholic Needs Help
Posted: 10/3/2012 4:23:43 PM
I'm just the messenger so.... realizing this is a hot topic right next to 'well, you know ;), here goes:
He is insistent and emphatic that it's not good for the liver. I was very surprised by that position myself, as I had read so much about the anti-oxidants in cacao and high magnesium content.
. What I myself wonder is if there are known distinctions between
A. plain cacao.
B. the fat in chocolate ie commonly, cocoa butter,
C. sugar (which is a solvable obstacle), or
D. the alkali used with processing the cacao.
(and of course every choco-fan is well versed in the 'Aztec food of the Gods' theorem too ;)
If I were as much of a chocoholic as some are, I'd probably be writing him straightaway to ask those q's, but...I rarely eat chocolate anyways, so send Dr Barral the flaming arrows, not me :)
~OH and PS, I confess the chocolate I DO enjoy eating is Godiva. (so, I'm no saint either even if I only indulge occasionally-hehe)

Money Investing Suggestions Wanted
Posted: 10/2/2012 7:07:40 PM
A good broker knows more than you and only makes money when/if you do-that's their job. In addition, that takes the stress away from you of having to constantly watch the market depending on what type of account you have. After you lose enough money on your own, you might consider a good broker an asset ;)

is this a valid request?
Posted: 10/2/2012 6:18:57 PM
Hi OP,
Here are my thoughts:
We feminine women want a Man who's strong, confident successful-one who can take charge.One who can protect us while we are our soft, vulnerable, loving selves.
And they do try, to be that take charge kind of Man for us...
But,... sometimes, in their quest, they step over the line (as I think another poster also said) into the tyranny of being OVERLY controlling-
What was once the beauty of the protective male becomes something entirely different to people without limits. The men who commit serious crimes against women lack awareness of these limits.
So, yes I agree with other posters, this guy was way overcontrolling to ask that of you. Fortunately, he showed his true colors quickly and you won't waste any more time on him.
~Also, I'd like to say to mysterious stranger, that was one of the best expositions on fb I've yet read and I 100% concur with all you wrote (which is why I don't have any interest in it either)!!

Study shows Organic foods are not healthier

...and then there are the French who just released the explosive long term study of GMO's and the pics of rats fed GMO (that's non-organic for ya) corn with multiple huge tumors. The whole reason for eating organic is not just pesticide residue on the non-organic crops, but to prevent being a guinea pig in the great and deadly GMO game. Good for France for banning GMO's and asking the EU to do the same. Whoever would have thought the very food we eat could kill us? True evil........

OP, this is an enormous consideration, as well as a decision requiring the loving foundation of BOTH people in the relationship, not just one.

Children are nothing to be taken lightly, and being a parent or step-parent is at times the toughest, most thankless, yet equally rewarding job of all :)

Ladies what kind of Men's Cologne grabs your attention?
Posted: 9/29/2012 10:13:42 AM
Hi OP,
Perfumes and colognes have chemicals in them which make the scent more penetrating, called Pthalates.
The problem with Pthalates, in addition to the fact they can give some immediate allergic reactions or headaches,
is that they are endocrine disruptors in both male and female systems. I have literally had my cyle restart (a week after it was finished according to my normal schedule) the day after being exposed to artifically scented candles or air fresheners, because of this effect on my hormones from Pthalates.
Hopefully those who use these products will remember 'less is more' (none =even better IMO), and for good reason!
PS (info on Pthalates/perfume, cologne/ endocrine disruption is easily searchable on the net)

Hi Op:
So...you're Asian. So you're thin. No matter how many ways we try and find why someone else might not find US their cup of tea, that's bogus. If we don't love and accept ourselves for who we are, why expect anyone else to? Be you, love you, accept you OP. Some things we can change about ourselves. Others we cannot.
