Entirely Unable to Cope
Posted: 4/27/2012 2:12:59 PM

Cut me some slack. It happens to the best of us.


The "Best" of us don't usually throw all of our woes out in a public forum and then get bent out of shape because other people are not telling us what we want to hear. We read, take it in and thank the others for their opinions.


There is nothing all that "normal" to me about what you threw out there to us to read for our opinions. It screamed of you needing real help and I am sorry you didn't want to hear that. The truth hurts sometimes but it doesnt change the fact that it is the truth.

Go ahead and take your toys and go play somewhere else, but it wont change the situation and or the opinions of all the others who gave you good sound advice that you seemed to be looking for.

I knew this would be how this thread would go. Not like I actually expected some magic solution to fix everything.


This is how this SHOULD go. I am sorry you are not getting what you hoped for, but you are getting what you need.

You NEED help from a licensed professional. PERIOD!


this is beyond a forum; if you are that obsessed with someone you need to speak with someone professionally. You are trying to make out that this other relationship was so magical when in reality it sure wasn't to her.

You are not allowed to have the woman you love because she has a choice; and she chose to be friends. It's called life.

I'd get some help. Rambling in long posts on forums isn't going to help. Get some counseling and I wish you well.


I agree with the above and I also wish you well and the best of luck, but you really do need to seek a professional please, this is very unhealthy. :o)

Getting Blocked on POF
Posted: 4/27/2012 12:28:39 PM


That's why people get upset the most. They can't have that last word or parting insult.


Exactly! it is the only semi-valid reason I can think of. I am not one for needing to have the last word, I don't like most confrontations and will check out prior to the confrontation getting blown out of proportion, but this does seem to be the common denominator within all these rants about this feature.

How do you even know someone has blocked you? I wouldn't have a clue and don't care to! :o)

Why do men say one thing and mean another
Posted: 4/27/2012 9:57:08 AM
OP- Were you just assuming he wanted a LTR because it says it is what he is looking for on his profile?

Prior to the 4 months into it conversation, had you approached this subject and asked or did you just go along assuming because he was taking you on dates that you were headed in the LTR direction?

I really really wish people would stop assuming things and JUST ASK QUESTIONS! It is so simple. :o)

Woman stops communicating. I’d seen her online a few times & assume disinterest
Posted: 4/27/2012 9:41:17 AM

But if you think she's a deceitful BSer, don't waste her time.


I concur!

If you are already not trusting her and thinking everything she says is BS, move on and let her find someone who wont assume the worst about her with every message.

It is very easy to become slightly overwhelmed with messages here. It is very hard to keep a bunch of message communications going with many people. I for one like to keep it to one or two at a time so that I feel I am giving each one the proper time and consideration before assuming disinterest.

I will let messages sit for weeks at a time, but will always get back to the ones who put forth an effort and am always honest about why it took me awhile to get back to them. It is their choice to believe me or not and to move forward.

If this situation happened 20 years ago, you wouldn't know that she was online again a few times before answering your phone call, now would you?!

This really is none of your business or anyone else's, unless they are engaging in a relationship with him, and you can not police people to make sure they are being honest and upfront with other potential dates and such.

You are trying to control a situation that you yourself don't agree with and that is a control issue on you and not a public service announcement.

Games??
Posted: 4/27/2012 9:20:33 AM
The main problem I see with relationships in general now a days is a lack of communication and everyone so flippin scared to step over some proverbial line or hurt another's feelings.

If you have a questions, ASK the person, it is that easy.

If you find them attractive, TELL them, it is that easy.

If you're interested, use your creative imagination, and TELL them, it's that easy.

You really have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Everyone needs to pull their big girl/boy undergarments up and just do it already!

:o)

P.s. Before you start telling me it is easier said then done or whatever other lame excuse/rational you want to use for it, I do it and it works so I am not just telling you something because it sounds good, I practice it and live it daily and live to tell about it! :o)

what a lier
Posted: 4/27/2012 9:11:44 AM


you want to know what a man's feelings about something is? take your right and left hand, cover both ears and look at his actions.

why do women constantly care what a guy says. His actions show his heart, his words are used to confuse you.


Thank you!

Women need to STOP listening to men and START watching their actions. They are NOT like us and you all need to stop thinking like they are.

Women talk and explain feelings and such while men listen and turn your own words around to sound wonderful to you and you all make it easy. They are in like flynn and can run around and do whatever their heart desires and then think up a good excuse for your ears and keep getting away with it till they get a tad bit too****! :o)

I blame all the enablers!

What would you define as maintenance in a relationship?
Posted: 4/27/2012 8:08:31 AM
To me, maintenance in a relationship is daily communication, keeping up with each other and the wants and needs of each other.

For instance, you both are having a hectic week, but you MAKE time to let each other know whats going on and so forth. You make sure you have communicated your to do's, want to do's, a little daily affection, etc.

It is the small and simple things that keep a relationship ticking and alive. The answer will vary depending on what the individuals in the relationship both require and desire. Some people are happy and content not seeing each other but a few times a week and others need daily time together, it just all depends on the individuals involved.

Bad Timing? A second message
Posted: 4/27/2012 7:52:00 AM
Every situation and person requires a different action. I usually just go with my gut feelings.

I have had a few who have written me once when I first signed up, and I was so overwhelmed with life soon after that I never really got a chance to go through all of the messages. So, I can understand life getting in the way and your intentions being there and then somehow slipping the mind for awhile, so a little reminder message might be a good thing.

Now the ones who send a message every time they see you pop online, that is annoying and I tend to delete, delete, delete till they stop sending them. :o)

LYING ABOUT AGE ON DATING PROFILE!
Posted: 4/26/2012 2:16:39 PM
I actually had a guy get into a message debate over the fact that he thought I was lying about my age on my profile.

He swore that I couldn't be anywhere near the age I claim to be. I called his bluff and told him no amount of flattery would change my mind about him being my type, but he kept insisting that I need to lower my age bracket and give the 30 somethings a try cause there was no way I was over 40.

Now why in the world would a female lie in the opposite direction? My kids and I joke all the time about how I have been "29" for 13 years now, but I would never try to pull off being 29, it is an inside family joke. :o)

Some girls love it... some dont
Posted: 4/26/2012 7:45:07 AM
Ecochick-it may well be different in Australia. I only know that here in the States, you aren't going to see the President with a tattoo. You aren't going to see senators with tattoos. You aren't going to see CEOs of Fortune 500 companies with tattoos. You are certainly never going to see members of the powerful historic families who run the country behind the scenes sporting ink.

Who do we see with tattoos? Prison inmates. Trailer park dwellers. Gang members. Am I saying that everyone, or even the majority of people, with tattoos fit into those categories? Of course not. But I don't see why people would choose to emulate the second list rather than the first.




This is so closed minded, stereotypical and false!

Edit to add:

There are many former Presidents said to have had tattoos. Tattoos are a huge part of our Military Forces and there are rules in place with where and how they can be had.
Many of our Former Presidents were part of the armed forces so they know how to conceal them.

Many historical families had their family crests tattooed in unseen and concealed places. It is said that FDR and Teddy Roosevelt both had their family crest tattooed on their body.

To each their own.

I had a guy tell me that Tats are usually a deal breaker for him.

I have three small ones, 2 hidden and one on my right wrist.

I happen to love them and the stories that go with them and if someone else cant appreciate them, then I don't want to or need to spend a lot of my time with them.

My Tats are me and I do hope to get another one day so I also let that be known up front now! :o)

I personally use the favorites to bookmark people who's profiles interest me or intrigue me and I just don't have the proper amount of time to sit down and compose a message.

Sometimes this will prompt them to send me a quick message and sometimes they will sit there to remind me of my interest and intent to message.

I do not like messages that are short and generic and I want the time to sit down and compose a personal message, it is a respect thing with me, I will never expect anything from anyone unless I would do it myself. When work and life slow down a bit and I have the time, I will write if they haven't contacted me first. :o)

Cracks me right up when people feel like they have to create a separate profile to post their dilemma on the forums so the other party involved is sitting there scratching their head wondering... "that sounds like a situation I am currently in... no way someone else out there can be having that happen at the exact same time as me...wow this is wicked!"

I have been told my profile is too long winded and that no one will ever read it all.

I have been told my profile is too honest and I will be taken advantage of.

I have been told there is no way I am really how I picture myself.

I get complimented on the thought and time I put into my profile. {Winners :o) }

In a way yes, but only to prove that my choices are doing basically what I intended them to do.

Posted: 4/25/2012 8:22:47 AM
Some people just don't have social skills now a days. Hiding behind a monitor and on a phone is all they do.

It happens to the best of us and there really is nothing more to it then what it is, not enough interest to move forward and not man enough to be honest about it with you in hopes he can string you along in case this nest meeting doesnt go so well.

Respect yourself and stop turning their bad behaviors onto yourself.

I had a dude tell me all kinds of things to my face while we were on our meet. Went so far as to tell me he could see us in a relationship and having a lot of fun times. Told me over and over again how my pictures didn't do me justice and it was a pleasant surprise yada yada yada... Things went well till we hugged goodnight and he asked me what I felt and I asked to take things slow.

Talked for a few minutes since that, the whole yeah I made it home safe and had a great time cant wait till next time ....

NOTHING SINCE! :o)

It is just what it is, a fun evening where I didn't sit home alone. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Maybe you should look at how high you have your expectations set and maybe lower them a bit.

Best of Luck!

Posted: 4/20/2012 9:47:09 AM

I just think people read to much into what a guy is saying. Its really not that complecated, Theirs no hidden meaning, No secret agenda he's said what he ment take it at face value.

The funny thing is if you flip this situation around most guys would probably kill to have the same complements said about them as they dont get them. Thats why I think people dont like anyone complaining about it because it comes across as a bit ''Oh everyone loves me its so hard boo hoo'' to those people who never get complemented.


This is the problem with Most Women. They always want to analyze what a man says as a simple answer to a simple question.

Example: Her: How was your day?
Him: It was busy and productive. I barely had time to breath much less anything else. How was your day?

Her Thought Process: So I guess he didn't miss me or think about me all day, he must not be really interested in me. I wonder what I did wrong to keep him from thinking about me all day, I mean he didn't even text me much.

WoW.....

Many are acting like the dude actually said something lewd and offensive. It's not like he said something about private parts, his wee willy winker or anything. Jeez :o)

All this debate and I don't recall the OP elaborating on the message and how and what context it was sent in. For all we know she could have said something like "I don't think I am all that" and he responded with, "get out of here, You're Hot!"

I will say that it bugs the daylights out of me when all a dude can muster up to start a conversation is something along the lines of "You're hot" yada yada yada, but I would never take such offense to it, regardless of how each individual views and forms an opinion about it, the MAJORITY of people alive and kicking, use it as a compliment and that has to be taken into consideration.

Sex on a First Date - Does it Kill a Potential Relationship?
Posted: 4/19/2012 2:56:39 PM
It isn't about the actual act of sex so much as it is about the people involved.

It is about how ready and open the people involved are?

It is about whether or not they are both on the same page with their expectations and wants.

It is about how honest they have been with each other.

Every situation is going to be different.


ETA:

There are many people in this world who believe that if they have sex and make it mind blowing, which to me is hard without knowing the other person and being emotionally involved with them, but we are not talking about me here, will win them the relationship.

This is a bad bad assumption to make in any relationship.

Stop Assuming things!

Learn how to open your mind and give people a fair chance to prove to you who they are before dismissing them.

Maybe it is easy for me because I learned a long time ago to not set myself up with unrealistic expectations, so I stopped thinking about expectations and now I expect nothing and learned how to enjoy the pleasant surprises I receive from a handful of people I probably wouldn't have given a chance before.

I am sorry but this is very subjective and will not help your cause.

You need to be clear in what you want and not so general.

If you don't want compliments then state that.... "Please don't contact me to compliment me because I feel compliments are rude and inappropriate until we know each other"

That will guarantee you get zero complimenting e-mails or messages! ;o)

You can not assume people know what your thinking and looking for just from the basic and generic information you put on your profile.

If he

Now he turned me off from the beginning. Although he probably
thought it was a Compliment!!!! lol


First off, I read your profile and I can not find anywhere where it warns of how to and how not to contact you. This is a good thing for the ones who actually do read the profile because if tends to come off negative and not worthy of contact.

Second of all, it was an ice breaker, he was paying you a compliment and without knowing exactly what he said that put such a distaste in your mouth, I would say it seems like you might be cutting off your nose to spite your face in this situation.

In the Subject of this post, you admit to liking him, so your going to let 1 simple little mistake shoo him away?

I have to ask, was there anything else to his message? This all seems a bit off to me. Without knowing exactly what he said about your picture that gave you the bad taste, I cant really comment more then I hope your not making a mistake you will regret somewhere down the line.

Best of Luck to you! :o)

Honesty is there such a thing as being to honest?
Posted: 4/19/2012 9:58:08 AM
Honesty wins hands down every time.

If someone has something against your current job and/or situation and you know that it is only temporary or your doing something that you really like and enjoy and are able to take care of yourself financially, then it shouldn't matter to someone who is really interested in you as a person.

The ones who will run the other direction are the ones you WANT to run in that direction. It is a good sign and you need to realize it and utilize it and keep being honest. The one who is ready to give you all she has because of WHO YOU ARE, will stand next to you while your telling her and wont twitch a muscle after it is all said and done. Then you might have finally found the one! :o)

Remember though .... Never lower yourself or your standards for a person of the opposite gender for the chance at a love connection because it will never be the correct love connection when it has to be forced with manipulation. ;o)

Still at the end of the day its the meaning behind the words that matters not the words themselves, if it was ment as a complement then take it as such.


In some instances, I think at the end of the day it is "who" sent said message and how "they" appear on the OP's personal hot scale.

I tend to wonder if Brad Pitt (eww) or George Clooney (refrain) (or whom ever she finds utterly attractive) were to inbox the OP with the statement "You're Hot, Wanna grab some coffee" she would practically wet herself trying to respond and get ready at the same time.

Yes, there is a proper time, place and attitude about saying some things, but we really have to keep in mind that men are visual and tend to speak without much thought to how the woman is going to feel, at least until they know each other and have established a relationship. To a dude, and thanks to media and society, "your sexy, your hot, your beautiful, yada yada yada, are ALL forms of COMPLIMENTS to her attractiveness and should always be thought of as such.

I will always take compliment when a man takes a few minutes out of his day to stop and express his appreciation for me and the fact that I might have made his little willy wink a bit from a nap. It is a good feeling and should always be a confidence boost, not an ignition switch to set off the attitude.

I treat it as a tell. ppl who dont trust you with no apparent reason are often committing the crime they are blaming you for. As you have stated.


Exactly! I was taught this is the "guilty conscience" syndrome. They are guilty but instead of being an adult about it and accepting their own consequences, they have to deflect the guilt to another party. This way they think they can sleep better at night buy justifying it in their heads. :eyeroll:

My personal favorites will always be the guys who whine and complain about women not talking to them or messaging them BUT, they were too damn lazy to even fill out their profile with information so we would AT LEAST have a few little tid bits of information to use for said contact.

I have a feeling, these are some of the same guys who send the one line "Hi sexy" messages, don't read your profile and cant seem to keep a simple conversation running if it doesnt involve sex, boobs or their manhood.

if someone views your profile
Posted: 4/17/2012 8:01:23 AM

As a guy - I think that if somebody adds you to their *favorites* list, it's an initiation in hopes that you'll email them. Viewing is simply viewing and isn't any kind of initiation at all.

I had a woman email me once to say that, "Well, you viewed my profile, but you didn't email me, so that must mean that you're not interested?"

I figure there are a lot of women out there that feel the same way. Vice-versa, as a guy, I don't expect an email after a view or interpret no email as non-interest.. so I might email if I'm interested.


This is true for me that's for sure.

I realized that the "Meet Me" feature was useless and I moved to utilize the Favorites. When a profile sparks my interest and I think I might fit in what they are looking for, I will add them to my favorites. There they will stay for a week or two, I mean you can't tell me you guys don't know we put you there, you get an e-mail about it and can view it yourself. Then if I don't get noticed or messaged, I remove and move on, figuring there just wasn't a common interest.

What gets me is when a guy will add you to his favorites and view your profile AND check "yes" to the meet me, but will NEVER initiate contact. Blows my mind.

Now before today, I could say say I never initiated a first contact, but after curiosity got the best of me, I finally jumped out of my life boat and asked to be rescued. I am very happy I did and it has been worth the bit of sweat and anticipation.

Moral.... If a Woman is interested ENOUGH, she will eventually take a deep breath and hope for the best, but there are no guarantees. Usually in life, when you hit snooze you snooze your chance away. :o)

Best Wishes!

Posted: 4/4/2012 7:26:05 AM
I do stand up to him and tell him not to talk to me that way, but he does what he wants to do.


Then end it PERIOD! That is the worst form of disrespect, in my opinion. He doesnt care what you want or how you feel. The. End. Over. Done.


Unless, of course, You actually thrive on the attention it all brings you.

Would this be an issue for you? Should it be an issue for anyone?
Posted: 4/3/2012 9:46:27 AM

she feels weird about it and thinks that because his mother was willing to be a longtime mistress, that means that he has the propensity to cheat.


This makes Zero sense to me. I would actually think the opposite, if I even gave it much thought at all.

I would think it would make him slightly more empathetic when it comes to cheating and how it can ruin other's lives, even the unseen and unknown factors.

I couldn't ever hold the actions of ones family against them, it wasn't his choice to make so he shouldn't have to bear the weight of it, the women who used this were just looking for an excuse and that made it easy for them to escape without taking any responsibility for their choices.

Am I Being Immature?
Posted: 3/30/2012 1:15:21 PM

so my expectations for having a loving, fulfilling relationship is non/existent. The man I'm seeing is still married/separated for 4 years now.


You are getting EXACTLY what you want staying in this situation!

You need to stop asking for advice and just pull up your Big Girl Panties and live with the mess you helped create.

You obviously are not going to actually listen to or implement any of the advice given to you, so why continue to waste everyone's time?

Just keep us all entertained with how well the relationship is progressing and leave out the woe is me's and just give us the funny's!

Americans seeking people outside of the USA...

Damn, I wish I had thought of this when I wanted to move to Ireland or Amsterdam.

Still want to visit and maybe have a vacation home there, but not so sure I could "fool" some poor chap into thinking I love him just to get it done.

What to do what to do????
Posted: 3/30/2012 11:37:47 AM

YOu sound like you're backtracking now and defending her. First you say she told you that you don't make enough money and now she was just worried about your job situation. Now she's on here looking for "friends". She sounds like the type of girl who is looking for someone well off so she can be a stay at home mom and have a man support her. I think both of you should delete your profiles it will only cause more problems. I wouldn't stand for my girl to be on a dating site looking for friends, it's BS.


Thank you, I thought it was just me misreading his statements.

He came here and asked for advice and it seems he isn't getting what he had thought he would so he is going to get upset and defend her now.

Steeler, she is playing games with your emotions because you let her. She is looking for someone who will financially take care of her and her child and is worried, and rightfully so, that you might not be able to give her the exact life she has dreamed of being given to her.

You would be best to end it friendly and walk away and find someone who will cherish and love you for who you are and not what you can do for them. The doing, that she is looking for, comes later in an established relationship.

Who is in the wrong? re Cat
Posted: 3/30/2012 11:17:27 AM

I think he likes mePage 1 of 1 Posted: 3/12/2012


This guy at my work, well I think he likes me. There are plenty of people dating at our place, so don't think it is much of a problem as long as it doesn't intefere with work


For some reason, I am having a hard time believing anything the OP posts. Her posting history is interesting to say the least and she has posted this same question just a month ago...


A boyfriend jealous of your catPage 1 of 1 Posted: 2/26/2012
Hi
Just wondering (not for me) if it's normal for your boyfriend to be jealous of the cat and say that you give the cat more love and attention than him (seriously).


You know that all of this behavior is wrong so why do you insist on continuing to allow it all to happen? Because you like the attention it brings you.

If I do not respond to your message.....
Posted: 3/30/2012 8:06:10 AM

Blocking is better than a disclaimer, as it doesn't send any kind of negative vibe out to those people you might want to hear from.


I agree 100% and am practicing, as I type this out, utilizing the block feature for messages like this ...


Hey little lady sand on coast or scooter ride get that dew stirrin

i don't understand why people get so upset when they receive a simple message saying "hi," hello," "how are you?"
c'mon, it's totally unrealistic to expect complete strangers to write you a conversation when they don't even know if there's going to be a response.


I went to a lot of thought and time composing and putting together my profile so that they would have something to gain some insight with. I usually figure the ones who only say Hi or How are you doing?, didn't invest any time into reading my profile and coming up with something witty or creative to set his self apart from all the others who only look at pics and rush to "chat", how do they know we have anything in common?

I am a conversation snob, I love my brain to be stimulated and tantalized, that is one way I know I am a match with someone, if they can grab my attention. With a "hi, how are you doing", I politely respond with a "hello, I am doing good, how about yourself?", in which they respond "I'm good". Then nothing else for me to really respond to. I look at their profile, but it is just the usual generic stuff and nothing really grabs a hold of me, my attention is officially diverted and lost.

Face it, if we were out in public, it would be the same way. You have to be able to keep someones attention or they lose interest, some faster then others.

Staying on POF when in a relationship
Posted: 3/29/2012 7:20:16 AM
I know that and thank you Irish...

What I want to know is if They know this and did it prior to accusing them of lying.
They are giving me the impression that they are basing their argument on the fact that the website says they are logged in.

I still don't get the big deal behind someone keeping a profile and being online if they have told you it is to remain in contact with friends and/or for the forums, if you trust them, you shouldn't have to try to catch them and if you don't trust them, then your relationship hasn't a leg to stand on so it doesnt matter if they are guilty or not.

Two wrongs don't make a right, you are still logging in to spy on them. Why would you want a relationship like that anyways? That concept just perplexes me ...

What would you do?
Posted: 3/28/2012 6:09:05 PM

Personally, I'd be inclined to say 'Hi' as if they should know me, and let them figure out where they know me from.


Depending on my mood, I am liable to do just this. It drives me wild when I see someone and they say Hi yet I don't recognize where I know them from or who they are.

Knowingly doing it to someone else would give me a good case of the giggles for a bit.

broken heart?
Posted: 3/28/2012 6:03:35 PM

you should message the other girl, she may not know about you either. girls got to stick together.


That is unwise and unnecessary.

What comes around goes around and when it is time for it to happen, it will happen. No use stooping low and making yourself look bitter and hurtful.

Staying on POF when in a relationship
Posted: 3/28/2012 2:23:54 PM
For the Tenth and FINAL time....

How can you tell if their profile is in fact HIDDEN when you have already viewed his profile therefore YOU can still see it but he doesnt come up on the matches and search pages.

Taken right from the FAQ page ...



Unfortunately, you cannot block users from viewing your profile page but they can be blocked from messaging you. You can only block a user from messaging you if they have previously sent you a message. To learn more about blocking a user go to How do I block messages from certain users?

You can also hide your profile, which disallows users from finding you in a search. To hide your profile go to edit profile.


Hence, you people are cutting off your nose to spite your own face. You are calling these others liars and such and yet you have nothing solid to base your claim on.

A Little Common Sense Goes A Long Way!
