Tired of all the girls not replying +600 messages sent
Posted: 3/31/2013 5:10:51 AM
@ Pallina74,Nah even Tom Cruise himself wouldnt get a date as he is far to short for the pricky princesses on pof, :)

Pretty sure even the op could pull a classy toilet brawler Cheryl Cole lookalike in real life,thoughs type of girls give it up for a bag of chips.

erm whats Spice?do you get spice girl lookalikes on there?

But after 6 years,Pallina does have a point,maybe internet dating is not for you.Sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword and works for some better than others.Keep your sword well polished my friend and get out there in the real world,

Do we judge our 'date' on his/her car?
Posted: 3/31/2013 3:18:09 AM
guess I am not a typical man as I have no interest in cars what so ever and struggle to even find the bonet catch.

I think women are generally more interested in cars than ever and did have one date with a girl that knew more about the car I was driving than I did,started quoting engine stuff,miles to the gallon and at one point thought she was going to get under the car and give it an oil change.lmao

guess it can be a talking point for some but for me it is something to get me from A to B.

@york_Nick,lmao yep that would do it.

But seriously you have to remember that most of the girls are not looking for just any guy,they are looking for the one.And if you are under six foot things become even more challenging.

Personally I can see why the ladies dont always reply as I use to reply to every message but no matter how delicately you word thanks for the interest but................... it can offend and bring out the head spinning demon in some.

(advice for what it is worth)Read the profiles,ask questions and tailor your message around what they have put in their profile.Also check your profile as negativity is always a turn off.You should get a reply or two out of the next 600 then,well of course that does still depend on the content and if you are trying to punch well above your weight.

Why so many bitter women here?
Posted: 3/3/2013 2:33:32 AM
@Jakk66,what can I say that hasn't alrady been said?internet dating is a completely different animal and takes some getting use to.
Us men have always struggled to work out the femail mind and their take on logik and it is even more complicated online where there is no body language,tone of voice or signals to read.

Even though some girls have on their profile things like "are there any genuine,honest guys on this site" or "looking for a sensative,honest and reliable guy"they still want somebody who is easy on the eyes,has a good job,trappings of success,sociable along with other must have criteria on their tick list.

I don't believe that all or 70% are bitter,just picky/choosy and on a website like pof it is ideal for women.

Consider it like catalog shopping,she can pick out what she likes,find out all the details from the description and when she is sure that is what she wants she orders it and it turns up on her door step.At that stage she can then decide if she wants to try before she buys ;)

good luck ,stick with it and just leave your profile up as what have you got to loose.

Just a thought ..
Posted: 2/23/2013 12:45:44 AM
yep ,guess you are more likely to find love off line than on but for many people it depends on their circumstances,finance and finding a baby sitter etc etc etc.

Personally having met up with internet dates lets just say I am more likely to trust somebody I have NOT met online.

In the real world there is often an instant attraction and the chemistry flows,as with internet dating you often dont know what you are going to get as some people have great marketing skills and are very good at self promotion and photoshop,lol.

I suppose it also depends on what you are loooking for and how high you have set your demands,a lot of people on here seem to be looking for somebody more than human,a greek god if you like,an adonis(but a little more wealthy),with intelligence,wisdom,no history,sociable but still for some reason would find himself single and be compled to put himself /herself on a website such as pof.

In my opinion it d0esnt do any harm leaving a profile on pof but dont take it to serious and pile all your eggs in one basket,get out in the real world and dont spend day after day and night after night sending messages back and forward whilst live slowly goes by.Some people have been on here years so it proof that for some internet dating is hit and miss.

Good luck.

Do men on these sites actually want a relationship or just sex?
Posted: 2/17/2013 7:20:04 AM
Think I owe you an apology for my previous post,when I read "he was married and just wanted to play the field a bit" I though you ment WAS married at the time you were dating.

Everybody has filters so don't worry about the height thing and you will notice height ,weight and every other filter crops on the forums daily and becomes quite amusing.

some good advice on here as always and guess you can see why some guys might not want to date a girl with young kids.

But personally I love photography but on a dating website people really want an indication of what you look like and you might find you end up attracting guys old enough to be your dad or grandad even if you are not careful.Believe me the in a time and place for sunsets, black and white photos of beaches,lyrics,poems and cat photos but pretty sure most guys want to see what you look like.just put up some nice clear photos which are not too staged and I am sure you will do find and your mailbox will fill up quickly.

It doesnt take long to work people out on a dating webstite.

good luck.

Everybody on here has filters and preferences and just as you have issues around short guys so guys have issues with kids.

It also depends how you word your reply about your kids as to me (although I have not read your profile)going on what you have wrote above it may look like you want the parts of the relationship that suits you as you would not want them to meet your kids till after a year and only want to meet up when the dad has the kids?

You then state you find somebody(who was married) and want them to propose after three month and guessing that is even prior to meeting your kids?

You have to be a little realistic,even guys who will want a relationship will want to get to know you as a package deal and have some idea as to what he is letting himself in for before he will commit don't you think?

Longest Relationship
Posted: 2/16/2013 6:09:34 AM
suppose it depends on what sort of relationship /commitment if any you are looking for on pof.

For me a tend to agree with PollyGraf and Vampire_Cat and for me any girl that gets to her late thirties with a a profile that states longest relationship under 12 months I avoid.
To me it means something is wrong,could be just attracted to the wrong guys but more likely that nobody can put up with her for longer than 12 months or she wants everything her own way in the relationship(princess syndrome)and wont compromise on anything.

@Serendipity,nah I am not the snooping type and it didnt take me a heart beat to work out we were not compatable.As you know photos are in albums a couple of clicks and it is easy to go back in time,you make it sound like I spent the evening going through the entire timeline but guess there are people sad enough to do that and with that much free time on there hands.
Was a bit of an eye opener on this ocassion and looking at the pof profile and the facebook profile was like looking at two different people.lol

Any increase in messages?
Posted: 2/15/2013 10:09:37 AM
nah a decrease this week if anything,oh well

Went well over Christmas and New years, had a major increase in mail as I suppose that was the lonely or horny season depending how you look at it but since then it tailed of a bit but then again I spent more time on here over the Christmas period so guessing that maybe the two are/were linked.
Nah forget that ,think that was over thinking,it was just the horny season.lol

lancslad1963,sounds like you have had a few pof dates as well.
curviest ,I am amazed how short your list is compared with most of the girls on pof.

The date I personally remember was a girl that laughed at everything,that I could almost put up with but the trouble was it wasn't a normal laugh and was the most hidious laugh I have ever heard in my life,she sort of cackled.It was so bad she was even attracting a crowd and scaring small children.

women and big heels
Posted: 2/6/2013 12:17:10 PM
Women love to wear high heels.Wearing high heels forces the back to arch more, pushing the bosom out and the buttocks back. Because women are standing in a position that's more unstable than if they were wearing flats, their core kicks in, flattening the abdomen a bit. High heels accentuate the female form by exaggerating its curve.And we all love the female form.

Just another weapon in the womens arsenal,And all women love compliments and attension.

Do you take this site seriously?
Posted: 2/6/2013 5:21:00 AM
Still sparky I think a lot of men on here according to the forums struggle to get a reply from a message let alone a shag.Not saying it doesn't take place but can't believe that the majority of guys on here are just after a quick shag.

Personally I think the site must be jammed packed with nice honest genuine guys which according to female profiles is what the majority claim to be looking for,just when it comes to looks most of us are average looking and most are expecting or wanting to date an Adonis /walking image of perfection.D'oh lol

There can't be that many bad guys/players on here?it has to be an urban legend?probably just the minority doing a lot of spamming?

By looking at the way you wrote you question Shaun it may help if you check punctuation,spelling etc some girls are pretty hot on spelling.There are a lot of grammar police on here.

nah I dont take this site seriously at all and try not to spend too much time on here.

Don't think you have to be Brad Pitt to get a reply but it helps.

If you spend a little time putting together a message around the persons profile plus add a bit of wit you can get a reply but you wont have success every time infact far from it.

Yes there are some serious individuals on here and you have to remember that some girls are not looking for just any guy,they are looking for the ultimate guy able to walk on water , leap buildings in a single bound,have a chin like Roger Ramjet and be over 7 foot tall.

Normally when you get your "my matches" sent you will find they are basically the same but in a different order with just a couple of new daters chucked in.lol

Having a nightmare on here
Posted: 2/3/2013 1:25:55 AM
welcome to the nut house David.Getting your personality across on a dating website is pretty difficult and as you click though profile after profile you will see some people have made an effort and some have not even made an effort to add one sentence.


There are threads like this daily on the forums and for me you come to realise quickly that the forums are the best and most entertaining thing about pof.lol

There was a thread started here http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts15825801.aspx which gives you some advice on hows to start conversations.

As most have stated the profile pic is something that has to draw attension or a reason for somebody to click on your profile.Obviously if you look like Brad pitt,Channing Tatum or even Russel Brand for some strange reason it helps.But failing that(as most of us do) guessing getting your head photoshopped on somebody holding a winners cheque for about 7 million will do it or as some do get your photo taken standing next to the nicest car you can find.note it doesnt have to be your car lol.

Good luck,don't take it to seriously and believe me this is the easy part as when you meet people from pof in the real world they may not look exactly like their profile photos which for some are normally the best photos they have and may not be that recent but it is all us internet daters have to go on.

Not sure I could put up with profile music with 80's power Ballads and endless Adele and Celine Dion.

how to start a convo with girls
Posted: 1/29/2013 12:07:48 PM
like Lusipher has said,word the first message around the profile,hobbies or something about their photos and if they have their name in their profile try and add it as it proves you have read the profile and it personalises it.
Also add something at the end of the message like a question that gives them the opportunity to reply without too much effort.

I dont believe there are that many bad guys on here and guessing that is just an urban legend spread by all the pof princesses that have been on here year after year or by the girls that wear very little cloths and then wonder why they attract the wrong type of men.

I don't tend to do the blanket copy and paste and spam everybody approach I am way to fussy.I find the one of message worded around the profile works best for me.
Don't believe you can tell what maybe 5 or 6th best as all you have to go on mostly is a few profile photos which could be photoshopped or the best that have been taken over a twenty year period and often a hastily written profile.

Until you actually meet somebody in real life you dont even know what you are going to get or if you are going to be compatible.

Why so many fakes?
Posted: 1/20/2013 6:03:03 AM
Even some of the genuine photos can be considered fake due to them being photoshopped or 10-20 years out of date.even phones have photo editing software built in now which now makes it even easier to bring out your best side or features.

You never know what you are going to get with internet dating when you meet up for a date for the first time, but guessing the instant look of shock/disappointment must be just a little of putting.

Lucky there is no trade discriptions act on pof , false advertising is common place.

Apparently 1 in 6 people who use an internet dating website are also married or in a relationship so guessing they may tend to use somebody elses photo or a blank profile?

yep lots of time wasters but after you have been on pof you tend to work them out fairly quicky as to who will never meet up,who just wants to be friends and just talk and who is just replying to messages out of common curtisy.

Would you feel insulted?
Posted: 1/19/2013 3:06:52 AM
If something is bothering you in a relationship there is no point in bottling up your emotions.

I was married to an Irish girl who used the word feck or fecking in every other sentence which use to annoy me immensely.
But to her the word was used around the city of Dublin where she came from in everyday vocabulary and was not classed as a swear word over there,and was used by young and old just like in Mrs Browns Boys.

I become sort of accustomed to it in the end but there were social occasions that I avoided .

Prat in comparison isnt that bad a word, but as Ruth has said above it's the tone and if it is said friendly or as a joke.

guess it is down to your own personal judgement and with anything in a relationship there has to be a little of give and take.

internet dating is weird.You read some profiles and it seems some people expect you to have lived a life of solitude before signing up for pof and want a person with no past,baggage or children.
Somepeople don't want children,somepeople do.

Its a fact of life that women all chace after the good looking guys and it is a well know fact that some women will do anything to land /get that perfect man.

Once you land your perfect man it is a question of how you then hang onto him as even your bestfriend and any red blooded girl within a 5 mile radius as soon as your back is turned can also see him as mr perfect.

you can't always blame the man ladies,if you pick some of us who is maybe slightly lacking in the looks department who may have fallen out of the ugly tree and just a few branches on the way down you would probably find you would be better treated and doted on.

The beauty and intelligence gene don't mix unfortunately and goodlooking neanderthal man struggles to make an objective decision when his testosterone levels increase and your best friends tits are stuck under his nose ,lol

Posted: 1/6/2013 10:06:14 AM
Not sure how good meet me is.

Was hoping that somebody read my profile rather than just went on looks and clicked the meet me button.

I do use it occasionally and if there is somebody I like the look of I might go and have a read of their profile and then click the button.

Have contacted a few of the people that have so say wanted to meet me but guessing they either changed their minds,slipped with the mouse or were drunk when browsing as still awaiting a reply,lmao

I think it is nice for ladies to have this option though as I think the majority of girls still expect the guys to make the first move even when we have no idea that they are interested but are expected to magically know.

so many people also suffer for anxiety,depression,stress ,alcoholism and substance abuse etc which is not always visable but can also be problamatic in a relationship.

Zenndy who knows,maybe that is why there are so many profiles on pof that lack a profile picture?not sure on which website the figures were based but guessing they are all much the same,although some of the paid for sites do claim better results than pof but that isnt difficult.lol

Think you are right about time waster not knowing they are not time wasters,I can look back at what I regard as numerous one sided conversations on pof,lol
But it takes a while before you can work out if the limited questions or answers are because they are on a mobile phone,lack of interest ,lack of intelligence,or are generally too nice not to reply lol

oh the that joys of internet dating.

I do tend to talk to a lot of fellow forum users but enjoy the idle banter so dont glass them as timewasters or even potential dates just virtual friends.

there are loads of fakes and phonies of pof and I remember reading somewhere that something like 1 in 6 internet daters are already married or are in an existing relationship so guess there are many reasons why somebody could be changing dates and moving times around to suit themself.Although it could be genuine and work related or possible need for child care/babysitter.

Date today

What is the harm in meeting the guy that you are obviously attracted to.sexual compatibility is part of a relationship and pretty sure he would be happy to just meet up and chat and is not expecting a bj between food courses.Maybe he was just concerned that his equipment might not be in working order should you pounce on him? Lol

how do you know if someone is out of your league
Posted: 1/1/2013 3:46:51 AM
Angelina Jolie did date Billy Bob Thornton(not quite the elephant man but close) which did seem a little odd to me and she was 25 and he was 45 which is quite a substantial age gap and probably way too much of an age gap for most.

Russel Brands massive female following and popularity also has me confussed.why ladies?heck he is not even a good or funny comedian.

Relationships are a funny thing but normally Beauty only marries /dates the beast in Disney films or has something to do with wealth or status when it comes to real life.

Online dating is also completely different to dating in the real world as all fellow internet daters have to go on is images on profiles that can be photoshopped ,years out of date or the best taken over a five ,ten or even a twenty year period so guessing that even what you may consider to be out of your league in regards to the looks department may be not necessarily the case.

Do 4 out of 10 women prefer shopping to sex?
Posted: 12/31/2012 3:50:17 AM
It is likely that the women surveyed could just be thinking about shopping more than sex?thats perfectly feasible isn't it?
http://www.savvysugar.com/Women-Think-About-Shopping-Like-Men-Think-About-Sex-1702180

Surveys can sometimes be a littlemisleading.
Could be 4 out of 10 men don't have enough or are not doing enough to keep a constant smile on the faces of the women surveyed?
Or it could be the women who were with those four men were just with them for the extensive use of their gold cards?lol (not that I would believe a women would date/marry a guy for financial gain)

If the question was rephrased and put to them in a slightly differnt way it is possible that you could get different results but I would say that 4 out of 10 women prefering shopping to sex isn't far from the truth.
