Needs assessment can't be removed from profile
Posted: 11/28/2007 6:49:53 PM
After reading through all of this, I can see how my opinion won't change matters much but my reasoning for wanting to retake the test is slightly different.

I was very impressed with the idea the site had for taking a personality test. To Test the Test out, I used it on my friend without knowing that it was a one-and-done type situation. Accordingly, none of the answers are correct or in relation to me. Along with this, the Compatibility percentages I have shown to me are actually putting people with my ex boyfriend (the one who answered all the questions to the test).

There should definitely be a retake available for whatever reason. It seems that NOT being able to retake the test has more negative consequences than being able to.

If the true reason is to prevent people from "fudging" answers, it's pointless. People who fudge probably fudged anyway and would continue to do so even after they met someone through this site. Preventing a retake isn't going to change the personalities of those types.

Honestly, I'm not sure if it happened or not. I was there, but doing the actual Wine Down thing. I believe there was a table with POF ladies in the dining section. Was that you guys? If so, sorry for the confusion but I hope you had a good time.

Well then let's do Belluga's next Thursday, July 26 at 7:30/8ish? Apparently you have to do reservations so respond quickly for this.
They offer $2 Stoli Martinis and****ails from 8pm to close.

If that can't be done, let's set it up for Wednesday, July 25 at 5:30 for Wine Down at Urban Flats in Winter Park. No reservations needed.
They offer All you can drink select wines and appetizers for $12 from 5 - 8.

Both places have websites with a quick search so feel free to do your own research.


Reply here with either date. I can try to call the place to set up something formally. I will check back here Monday (7/23) morning to get a tally, or you guys can just email me.

I'm already excited about it!

Only Laura has responded since I mentioned Wine Down. The party thing would perhaps be cheaper depending on how big ya wanna make it.

For themes, dressing up is always fun. Just saw the Phantom of the Opera so a Masquerade is fresh in my head.. or something really nice and formal since people don't wear pretty dresses enough. I'm bad with planning, but it sounds like a good idea.

Great! I'm glad people are interested.

I live very near to Winter Park so I'm good with that. Is the weekend or weekday better for you guys? On Wednesdays, I usually do this thing called Wine Down at Urban Flats in Winter Park. It's a pretty good place to sit and get to know one another. Sound good?

(which I'm not sure how to take actually. I'll take it to mean like a breath of fresh air and no other kind of wind) =)

Hey,

I will admit to completely copying from the Tampa Bay thread, but it must be done. I've met some guys through this site, but I could stand to have a few female friends to talk about the guys with. :) If any of you ladies are interested in some group get together(s), reply to this thread or email me. I'm open to anything!

My turn?
Posted: 3/16/2007 8:18:24 AM

I'm extremely surprised that a behaviour analyst would have no clue how to write her own profile!!! Why is it that you can peer into the minds of others but you don't know yourself???


1- It's easier to assess others than to be introspective enough to get an accurate assessment of myself.
2- I'm a Behavior Analyst, not a Mind Analyst. I don't peer into the minds of others, I just watch what they do.

Perhaps when I do have more time I'll follow some of these suggestions. I'm still not sure if the kind of friend(s) I'm looking for would read through an entire profile that incorporates all these different things but, at any rate, thanks for the assistance.

I appreciate the advice. Apparently I was so beyond help that no one else wanted to comment. I'll get to it later, all that sounds time consuming.

My turn?
Posted: 3/14/2007 8:12:11 PM
I'm clueless when it comes to describing myself or what I'm truly looking for. I want my profile to be a brief summary of me while saying I really just want friendship. Everytime I write it, it still sounds like I'm looking for a date.

Suggestions?

Welcome me gently
Posted: 3/11/2007 1:16:20 PM
Howdy all!

I am very new to this thing. 3rd day and such and I hear this a good way to say hello. I'm not really looking for romance, but if it happens, it happens. What I truly desire is someone to laugh with. Always a blast. Feel free to shout me a hello - guys, girls, whatever.

A follow-up e-mail?
Posted: 3/11/2007 10:47:53 AM
Sounds good. Do it to it. But don't ask for x-rated pictures. Taking the email away from the site makes it more likely that you'll meet.

Too innocent for a girl like me ( Long post Warning! )
Posted: 3/11/2007 10:43:22 AM

maybe that's why i'm single....i'm too honest


yea probably. I have the same problem, but won't change. It's very freeing to be honest. It seems like guys want their heads messed with. Had this woman not played a game with him, he wouldn't have made a post about it and may have lost interest already.

Above all else though, she sounds like a thinker and it sounds scripted. I may have seem something similar in a movie. Don't let it get ya down. As the dancer said, you shouldn't change who you are.

With a name like Don Juan, one wouldn't think innocence would be an issue.

Eh.. chalk it up to the two of you being different. If you couldn't handle the first conversation (and you didn't just want sex), then it was not meant to be. Confidence sets a demeanor. Not only your words but your actions, stance, approach, etc all tell more about your level of innocence before your voice is even heard.

Better luck next time.

Remember your First Lover?
Posted: 3/11/2007 10:26:28 AM
Yes! That's exactly it. I was so very completely comfortable with him. I was a tad PO'd when he went and told all our friends about it, but it was to be expected.

Thank you :) I hope your daughter doesn't take that out on all the guys she meets.

question for the ladies
Posted: 3/11/2007 10:22:58 AM
Brief story - I once told my aunt about a guy I liked that she didn't find very attractive. I remarked that I was into this personality. She looked at me and said, "Honey, of course ugly people have good personalities. Don't talk to them to find out. You can find a good-looking one with a nice personality too. Try there first."

This is just to say that determining someone's financial status could possibly be a motive for asking that career question before 'getting in too deep.' When I've asked the question, it was simple chit-chat and traditional get-to-know-yous. I completely agree with rune. Discovering what a person chooses to do for a living and how they feel about their position will tend to give some insight to the person themselves. Asking someone about how they feel about loyalty, devotion and the like would probably yield the wrong answer anyway. Someone's devotion would be better determined through their actions.

Remember your First Lover?
Posted: 3/11/2007 10:06:41 AM
Maybe I read this wrong or am kinda a ho, BUT my first lover was a good friend of mine. I was 22 and we did like each other. I can't remember all of it because I was completely too drunk. I was the last virgin left in my group of friends so I guess it got to me. My friend and I couldn't make a relationship work... after all he was a bit too into drugs for my liking, but I'm glad we didn't. We still talk occasionally and I will forever care for him. He was a great friend to me and luckily I was never "in love" enough to get hurt enough to hate him.
