Worst Breakup Line you ever used or heard
Posted: 10/25/2007 8:51:27 PM
used on me:
I don't want to jeopardize our friendship

used on someone else:
My family doesn't like you
I'm too busy with my non-profit work to fit a relationship in
We aren't on the same life level
I'm getting transferred to another city for work

We hear about the bad ones, anyone have a great 1st meet?
Posted: 9/27/2007 10:12:06 PM
Absolutely! I had contacted a man on this site last June, and he replied back, seemingly interested. We emailed back and for for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden he fell off the face of the earth. We hadn't moved to phone calls yet, and all I had was his first name, so I couldn't call him to make sure he was alright.

Towards the end of July, he finally logs back in to PoF, and apologized profusely to me in an email. Turns out he had been flooded out by some bad batches of rain that came through town, and he had spent the past month cleaning everything up. I offered to cook dinner for him after all he had gone through (I know, I know).

We really clicked, and the dinner went great! What started out to be just a few hours ended up being more like 8 or 9, and those hours just flew by. We agreed to meet the next weekend, but I ended up getting a bad staph infection. He insisted on coming over to take care of me that weekend and nurse me back to health...what a second date that one was!

Needless to say, things are awesome!

Good grief ! my date turned out to be a tranny !
Posted: 9/23/2007 8:43:36 PM

Why is it that some transexuals and trannies are better looking than many women ?


So, I take by your comment here that this is not the first tranny you've been out with. You know more than one, since your comment said "some" are better looking.

Maybe this tells you something about yourself...

Posted: 9/23/2007 10:08:40 AM
I have met a super nice guy off of PoF, and after dating several months we have decided to move in together. We clicked right away after talking on the phone, and even more after meeting. He doesn't make much (I actually make more than he does), but I knew this early on in the relationship. So, I have made it a point to find fun things to do around town that cost very little or nothing.

I know in the Houston area there are several things to do to WOW a woman, but not spend a lot of moolah. There's free concerts at Miller Outdoor Theater and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion all the time (like the Houston Symphony and Houston Grand Opera), and several of the museums are either free all the time or free part of the time as well. If he could find things like this, he could wow her without spending much money. I actually wowed my boyfriend by taking him to several of the free museums around town, but never made it seem like we were only going because we didn't have any money that particular weekend. Money only becomes an issue when you make it one.

Assexual relationships?...why not?
Posted: 8/20/2007 7:28:25 PM
I looked it up. Asexual, with one s is a relationship without sex. Assexual, with two ss's, is your standard case of butt love.


That has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a good while!



An asexual relationship is just another term for friendship...

How many dates are people actually going on from this site?
Posted: 7/30/2007 4:57:33 AM
I've been on this site for a good while now. In the time that I've been here, I've met 6 guys. Three were once only meetings - we knew from the get go that we were not meant to be. One guy was an on-again-off-again relationship, that I actually met during a previous stint here on PoF, and we have officially decided to be off for good. The fourth lasted a couple of months, and I am currently with the 5th...everything seems great right now for us!

It takes time...I was at the point that I was saying that I was only coming here for the forums when I met my current guy.

OP, I think you did the right thing. It's not worth the $$$ in fines, and putting everyone in harm's way to get them to the lake. She should have told you how many kids she had to begin with.

She introduced you way too early! When my mom started dating again, after my parents' divorce, she didn't introduce my step-dad to my brother and me until after they were engaged - after 2 years of dating!

What's the Biggest Age Difference?
Posted: 7/20/2007 6:29:17 AM
Mellybabez says:
Age, skin colour, body type....
When you can look at somebody without seeing "that stuff" then you are really looking at them.


Absolutely agree with this statement!!

I typically date guys who are older than me. Guys my age are not mature enough for me - they still want to go clubbing, drinking, and play video games. The older guys have already done all that, and are content which themselves...

When I was 19, I was in a relationship with a 31 year old. The relationship last 2 years, and was great while it lasted. He'll always have a place in my heart.

When I was 30, I dated a 60 year old for a while...while a 30 year difference was a stretch, I had the most fun with him. We went to concerts, went sight-seeing, went out to eat, and met with friends every single night we were together...very cultural. It was great (and the sex was out of this world)!

That being said, I typically tend to stick to guys who are 10-15 years older than me...not younger than 10, not older than 15. But that's not set in stone.

sense of humor
Posted: 7/9/2007 4:36:29 AM
A good sense of humor is a big requirement for me as well. I work hard, and have a tendancy to keep focused on the work stuff...a sense of humor in someone (and one in myself) helps to get my mind off everything serious. I love being around someone who can make me laugh for no reason whatsoever.

What could someone tell you on a first date that would send you running for the hills??


"So, when are we moving in together?"
Anything about their ex...
"I don't have a job."
"I still live with my parents."
"I don't have a car."
"I love you."

scent of a woman.....or man
Posted: 7/6/2007 5:01:30 PM
I don't like when perfume or cologne are way over used. In my opinion, it should only be detected in an intimate setting, and not from 30 yards away. My last bf absolutely loved it that he could only smell my perfume when he got very close to me, and was kissing me. I don't wear any over powering perfume either - just light, airy scents.

I love the scent of Obsession for Men...yum!

should someone in a relationship have secret friends of the oppisite sex
Posted: 7/2/2007 4:57:25 AM
I don't believe they should be secret...I think it is ok to have friends of the opposite sex. My best friend is a guy, and we have made it well known to our significant others that we are friends. Everything should be out in the open so nothing could get confused for anything...

Unrealistic Expectations
Posted: 6/29/2007 4:27:29 PM
I do have a list of what I'm looking for, but am not frigid on my requirements.

Guys do the same exact things...otherwise us girls with "great personalities" would get the same guys that the "hot mamas" get.


The thing is, men are more accepting of a woman's appearance than women are...women have a whole grocery list of expectations....for a man, all she has to do is practically just "show up".


This isn't exactly true of all guys...maybe for the ones who can't get the "hot mamas" it is, but the athletic ones - not at all.


I think that you need to try reading the profiles of the men one day.. they may be fat, bald and broke.. but most make it pretty clear that they only want the sexy, slim and independent woman to fall at their feet. They don't want "average" either.


I agree with what Bonnie said above.

I'm in an orchestra, and every couple of years we have a Halloween concert. Everyone in the ensemble dresses up in halloween costume. It's a blast! We have one coming up this October, so I'm trying to decide what to go as...last time I went as a Hobbit, and we had Gandalf the Great too there.

I keep telling people I'm going to go as Invisible...I was there! Didn't you see me???

She does have two kids, and she is a secretary for a University Extension Office. She occasionally smokes. B-U-T, she is thin (size 4). She only brings 1 of the 4 to the table...which was part of my being concerned...

Is it wrong to check the profile before accepting the IM?
Posted: 6/17/2007 8:52:46 PM

So, I usually do a user search before I answer quickly so I can see thier profile and see if I might have something in common with them, or see if I might be attracted to them before I sit and talk to them...Is that wrong??


No, I don't think that is wrong...it also helps the conversation, if you already know a little bit to at least ask questions. What's the point of having a profile if you are constantly having to re-hash the entire thing every im?


I am not sure if it wouldn't hurt to just say hi and look at the profile then. I never hurts to be friendly and cordial.


I've done this too. Before I set the minimum age limit on my profile, I had a bunch of younger guys wanting to IM me. Sorry, I'm just not into younger guys. I'd be nice and say hello, but they'd go off on me when I'd say, "Sorry, I'm not interested in dating younger guys."

Overall, I think it's a good thing to check profiles beforehand!

Whats it mean when she says You scared me
Posted: 6/17/2007 9:45:05 AM

She was like yeah you scared me.


This confuses me. And I'm a girl!!

The only thing I can think of is that maybe she was reminded of a bad relationship / or a bad ex by something you said or did while with her. I've been on a date where the guy said/did something that reminded me of an abusive ex I had and yes, it scared me, but I came out and told him, "I know you didn't know this, but saying/doing XYZ reminds me of my ex, and it really scares me."

Having 3 ex's call while you were there is a definite red flag - or at least a yellow caution flag.

Sorry you went through this!!

Shortest Date Ever - With a very tall man
Posted: 6/14/2007 4:48:18 AM
Women who expect men to pay for them when they don't even know them are doing a disservice to all women.


My thoughts exactly. This sounded like a first meeting, not a first date. A first date would have been discussed at this meeting...

Still waiting on my question to be answered from my first post - who asked who out? As I said before - the person who asks for a meeting/date should be the one who pays.

my question is this: who asked who out? Did he ask you? Or did you ask him? Or did it just kinda come up in discussion somehow? My opinion is this - The asker-outer always pays since it was their idea. If the girl asks the guy out, she offers to pay. If the guy asks the girl out, he pays. If it just somehow came up in discussion and no one knows how it came to be, it's dutch time.

Dating Turn Off Triggers
Posted: 6/11/2007 5:10:27 PM
For me, it's how they act around others. If he is rude to the servers at a restaurant, and we don't even know them, how is he going to treat the people he knows? And this applies to women just as well as men...

Another is not knowing how to dress oneself...once again - applied to either sex. If you are having to ask me, "Is the tie a bit much?" then it probably is.

Poor POF date...who is raising these guys?

Tiller21 says:

<div class="quote">Haha why is everyone bashin her... I am 22 and have men 40+++ messaging me for more things than rainbows and skittles.... major double standard.

I think the reason that everyone is bashing her is because she is "supposedly" working on a relationship with someone, yet liked the "novelty" of being with a young virgin male. It would be one thing if she was actually looking at starting a relationship with this guy, but she made it clear in the original post that she is not - she only wanted to take his virginity from him. And got pissed when she couldn't.

I mostly date older guys (at least 10 to 15 years older than me), and see nothing wrong with an older woman/younger man, if that works for the parties involved. But that is not the case with the OP, as I stated above.

Personally, if a guy tells me he's a virgin, I run for the hills. I don't take it as a challenge to corrupt him.

One thing you will never hear from a woman: "I'm sorry, I just be with you. You make too much money for me."

I'm not sure what she'd do if she met someone that makes over $75,000 a year. I don't see why income level matters, as long as they have a job and are responsible.

Why the medical field?


Not sure - the only thing I can think of is her ex was in the field, and I don't think she's completely over him yet, so she's looking for someone similar to him. Her requirements pretty much describe him to a T.

Charliemcsd,

I've been waiting for you to reply! I've followed some of your other posts on the forums, and was interested in what you'd have to offer to this thread. Glad to know you don't think I'm off base in this!

As far as what the medical field makes income wise...I don't really know. I've never dated anyone from the medical field. I know her ex worked at the cancer hospital here, and I know he was not a doctor. Not sure exactly what he did though....lab techs and such probably would be closer to that income range, I'm guessing.

I've gotten some really awesome feedback from everyone so far. Thanks for posting!

Is the medical field requirement perhaps b/c she's in the medical field, so she's looking for someone who has something in common with her?


Actually, she is a secretary at a University here in Texas. But, her ex is in the medical field, and made good money. I have the feeling she is trying to find someone similar to him, as she has mentioned she's still kind of stuck on him.


Is she very strong in her faith, and doesn't want to entertain the notion of getting in a relationship with someone who will disagree with one of her deepest beliefs?


She is very strong in her beliefs, and I applaud her for that.


Often people like to decide that they have a "type" that they like, and miss out on some pretty fun times by keeping themselves locked in.


Absolutely. Couldn't agree more!!

Maybe she's putting so many restrictions on who she will date because she's not really ready yet....


this is what I'm thinking...


I think you should mind your own business about what SHE wants and make your own criteria of who you want to meet.


I DO have my own criteria, and she has come to me for advice, since she KNOWS I've had several dates the last few months...It is my business since she comes to me almost every night, asking for advice!


What if someone that writes meets all the other equirements?


My thoughts exactly, and have tried suggesting that to her.

I liked what post #2 says...as time goes on, she'll loosen some of the restrictions...I'm just concerned about her, and want to see her happy. Which is why I wanted to get other posters' opinions on it as well!!

Thanks guys!!

Hey Fellow PoF'ers...

wanted to get your opinions on a discussion I am having with a friend of mine. She has recently gotten divorced and is entering the singles scene. I mentioned that she should think about joining Plenty of Fish...she'd meet some really neat people, make some connections, and would have the forums at her fingertips.

She told me what she is looking for in a relationship, and started listing off restrictions. Trust me, I'm all for having things to look for in a mate, but am I wrong in thinking she went a little overboard? She said she will only date guys from one specific religion, only if they are over 5'7", thin, have no kids, don't smoke, work in the medical field, and if they make between $60,000 - $75,000.

I can understand having commonalities as far as religion, and the not smoking thing. But she has kids of her own, and I see it as a stretch to ask that the guy she dates to not have any. But asking for him to only work in one specific profession, with income requirements?

Am I way off base here? I'd like to see what everyone else thinks on this topic...Do too many restrictions keep us from meeting some potentially good people?

age difference issue
Posted: 6/3/2007 8:50:44 PM
It was never an issue with me, and thankfully my family has grown accustomed to it as well. When I was 19, I moved in with a 31 year old, and lived with him for 2 years. Last year, I had a short term relationship with a 60 year old. And I just turned 31 a few weeks ago. I don't see an issue with age...if the younger person acts older than their age, and the older person acts younger than their age, it can even out mentally!

so, why are you still single?

It's because I am ugly, socially retarded and have poor personal hygene. I also prefer the company of sheep.


that's awesome! I'll have to remember that next time one of my family members asks me why I'm single...But, in answer to the OP's question - I haven't found Mr. Right yet. But, I am content with my current situation, until he shows up!!
