Why is it so hard to find a relationship !!
Posted: 11/18/2012 4:54:44 PM

Having some trouble..
Posted: 11/15/2012 10:15:35 AM
I agree with many of the answers here. A college degree is a requirment for you?? How does a piece of paper make someone attractive?? I know many people who do fine money wise and they don't have degrees. But what do i know? College isn't for everyone.

Maybe your standards in the looks department might be too high as well. Your not unnattractive or anything. I would say your average looking, not a bad thing. So you should meet average guys.

When to ask the girl out.
Posted: 11/14/2012 12:52:37 PM

if she replies to and shows you interest she obviously wants to date bro. So just ask casually.. which is what i do all the time, and most of the time they say "yes" because I know that when I ask I do it after getting a reply back and we have a decent conversation. Girls wanna guy that takes charge so dont be a wussy about it you know what i mean. be a man and ask. shes not gonna say no trust me dawg. once u guys go out.. make sure you claim ur prize ;)

This coming from an average guy

How has reading the POF forums affected your dating life?
Posted: 11/14/2012 10:12:36 AM
I found its difficult to meet women on here. Im just not sure anymore and my level of confidence has gone down. I get told im attractive (And no its not mommy saying) I've tried to write out an awesome profile, granted i've gotten responses but they go Poof After a few messages. Just not sure anymore

Posted: 11/13/2012 9:30:13 AM

After all these months of being a forum user, do you still need to continually repeat the same thing over and over? OMG...we're all sick of it and your reply has nothing to do with the OP. Get out in the real world if you're still not having success on here. Average looking people can have success with the right attitude - I know 'cause I am average but my attitude doesn't suck.

An average looking woman can get dates, because men can view her as attractive, we guys have many different tastes. Its subjective. As for women, they all like just the one look on a guy, tall, dark hair with athletic builds. So Really if u think about it, its women that are 10 times more visual than men. I see all the time good looking guys with ok girls but u'll never see vice versa. Women care about how good looking a guy is, we however can see past looks

Penis Pride
Posted: 11/11/2012 2:33:33 PM

People lie about all sorts of things as they are delusional. People come on here and say, "I am a good looking man/woman and can't figure out why nobody replies to my messages". Well, in their mind they think they're hot, when in fact they are just average. So, a guy who exaggerates about the size of his penis in some cases may also be delusional

That advice leans towards you as well....Trying to get the best looken guys when ur average

Is looks everything?
Posted: 11/11/2012 11:34:31 AM
Guys that have funny,exicting well written profiles get responses. Along with crisp,clear good pics, looking your very best. Also catchy usernames and headlines as well.

Not trying to be too harsh, but everything i mentioned in your profile is B.O.R.I.N.G! Come on JohnDoe, Really?? Boring pics and boring written profiles isn't gonna catch attention. Women here get so many messages a day, you gotta stand out from the rest of them. Take a look into my profile, granted my pic isn't what u call adonis looken but look what i wrote in my profile.. I've done not too bad off of here. Actually i met someone last night if anything.

Another poster named cowboy should be on his way to comment. Look into his profile too, he does well. If anything, I've learned from him and now I have so many options, can't even keep count!

Good guys do get responses, but the profile has to stand out

why do i get used?
Posted: 11/11/2012 8:46:34 AM
Honestly, it happens to a lot of us. Guess it wasn't a match with some of those guys you met. Have you tried contacting them? More than anything else its tough to answer cause I don't know you and have no idea how and the guys you went out with interacted. Unless you slepted with them on the first date, I have trouble understanding how you get used?? Best thing is just totally get to know someone and leave physical stuff out even kissing out for a few dates. Find out how serious they are. Keep fishing!

You can't be serious!! Your married and can't figure out why your not having luck????????? It said ur seperated but hope to resolve it soon. That means ur still trying to work things out with your wife. If she catches ya on here, expect divorce papers on your door stop.

Do these statements mean she is materialistic? Red flag?
Posted: 11/9/2012 8:25:18 AM

huh? once again, we did not date. It wasn't because he didn't have money. (although we were both in hawaii at the same time, he said his mom paid for his ticket, yeah that was a turn off, definitely). I'm attracted to men that don't have a lot of money. but I wouldn't consider them as part of my future. so why date them? It's true I am attracted to men who are successful, and who follow their passion, those things usually entail making more money. I just don't see the big deal of it. we all have dating preferences, and money is only one preference. except it's more a representation of beliefs about yourself and the world than say, clothes, job, etc.
someone mentioned it being tacky asking about income at first... we don't all think that way and we aren't all so scared about asking about finances and hurting someone's pride. that's includes me being asked as well.

You can think what you want but only dating someone because they make alot of money is materalistic, and i can tell by your looks that you are that way. Do you feel entitled to things because of your looks? Alot of women are that way

I couldn't agree more with this statement, and your entire post @frenchamericanhybrid.
people often read into things and see what isn't there because they are measuring them against their own perceptions and values. she's not wrong, he's not wrong, they just think differently. you can see how differently people think just by reading the various posts and opinions here.

I can't see how you can be in a position to say this being you dated a 21 year old. It leans on the fact that your attracted to men who make more $ than you do..Your words, not mine

The problem with alot of women in this day in age is not so much of perference, but they have this entitlement feeling in their mind. They figure since men approach them, they should only get the very best. As in a man thats super good looking, a guy who owns a house,makes alot of money. Look, im not bashing but im telling the honest truth on what women are like in the present stage. We even had a poster here saying she'll not date a man unless he makes more money than her. What does that tell you? Many good average and below average guys are left single because women expect wayy too much these days.

Ladies, you need to wake up and realize we live in tough times and we are all not rich and look like Channing Tatum. Men are visual too but we are more forgiving in that department. I just wish women were the same. Just my 2 cents

If my idea of a weekend away is running around in another country and his idea is staying at his best friends home.. we have a disconnect there. Maybe it's financial, maybe it's not. Either way.. how would be plan our "couple" vacations?
And yes.. amazing is second.. because it's hard to be amazing if you are homeless or mommy does your laundry. LOL
I agree with your point on not wanting a "homebody" or someone that lives with their parents. I've dated a gal last december who had no job and was with her folks resulting in zero attraction. Based on what you say, i don't think your a gold digger. But i have a problem with someone who won't accept me just cause i don't make a certain amount of money a year. Yes its important for all of us to be able to take care of ourselves, but is being very well off that important?

We live in tough times, money is tight, look at gas prices. Heck this country has the biggest deficit. ( I'm gonna leave politics alone though) I just think some women still expect so much from men like we're banks of america, supposed to wine dine and spoil them. How can you fall in love with that? Do you honestly belive Anna nicole smith was in love with that tycoon guy she married decades ago?

I didn't say it did necessarily. I was referring to the traits that I, me, myself, find masculine. that's one of many according to ME

It's still kinda shallow. So even comparing your yearly income to a guy ur with's income. You happen to make $1.00 more or he makes $1.00, i bet you would see that as a dealbreaker. I dunno, you have weird standards. Love dosen't define money. I think ur too much into how a guy looks. Maybe thats why u left ur sons father. See, we average guys have trouble meeting women because we don't have the looks you all like. But they say women aren't as visual?? Thats far from the truth


actually, we never went out. I said I was attracted to him, which was the first younger guy I had ever been attracted to
That's still kinda creepy. I think the media is easier on women than men. You heard about that teacher in california who left his family to be with an 18 year old? He's 42. And everyone is outraged. I think the same should be if it was vice versa. And don't get me wrong, i think that guy is sick for being with an 18 year old, im not justifying what he's doing

I still think you have alot to learn and realize looks aren't everything

In answer to your first question, call it whatever you want, but I don't consider it very masculine when a guy makes less than me

Ok that's gotta be a joke, I think you should be a comedien (rolls eyes) This was with no doubt the silliest statement i've seen all day. I've know a few couples where the lady makes more. Money is money...WHO CARES?? Since when does money make a man masculine?? I swear, women like you crack me up with all your silly demands in a guy. I'm sorry but young lady, you have so much learn about life. To me, a woman becomes unnattractive when she demands a guy that has to make alot of $. Wake up sweetie, we're in 2012, not 1950

And didn't you say once you went out with a 21 year old and your 37?? Many will call that creepy!!

who said I only go for guys with great looks? that's subjective. of course I'm going to pick someone similar to myself. and I am certainly not going to date a guy who makes less than me, or even the same. I expect more.

So why is it important that a guy has to make more than you? Usually thats what gold diggers look for.... Your probably the type of person that looks her nose down at us average and below average guys..

Posted: 10/30/2012 5:05:54 PM
I'm just tired of hearing how women are pressured to look good because men are visual. News flash, women are just as if not more visual than men are. The bad guy is attractive if he's good looking. Sure I've seen average guys with attractive women but that's causethhose guys make good money. Its impossible to see past looks. You can't. No one has that ability. I think women are more into looks. Playgirl is sold more thanplayboy. And that movie magic mike did pretty well. I love women belive me. I just don't understand why they won't give me a shot. And no its not my attitude. I don't say these things irl

Ummm your words,not mine. But your right on the unnattractive part.


If that half naked guy up there made noises like the rest of you boys, he’d be just as womanless as you

Thats wrong cause women flock towards athletic guys no matter how they act. I bet anything he has women in their 40's and 50's write to him,trying to sleep with him. LOL, im sorry but no woman see's pasts looks

Looks are all that matters, you are completely correct. I am a major ***hole and got a girl on here to agree to anal sex in under 5 messages. My buddy, who is average, msged a shit ton of women and recieved no response. Natural selection at its finest

And this guy is an example of what most women go for. I honestly will never understand of why they are attracted to guys that treat them like crap. Not healthy minded! Theres no way i'd go for a woman that'll treat me bad


That is the most classic thing I have ever read. It only shows the true hypocrisy of the women on this site.. I love reading about how they are done with the games and all of them are going for the same a## holes.. It is what it is tho.. I suggest hitting the gym and getting out there and giving some back..

Amen to that bro! I read a bunch of profiles as well,saying all the same. But i continue to get ignored. And its funny how people say its my attitude is why i can't attract women here. First off how would they even know my attitude by not responding to my messages? I dont write negative stuff to ladies im interested in. For anyone here that said i look attractive, thanks but i know you didn't mean that. If i really was attractive looking, i would get alot of messages a day, be hit on in person. Pretty much i would do very well off of here

Well, I made the first move (which I very, very rarely d0) and sent a "flirt" to the man I'm currently seeing, and this is what caught my attention:

- His profile pic (yes, call me shallow, but after clicking through countless profiles, when I saw his pic I was like "wow, this guy is FINE") It was a clear, non-grainy, professional picture of him in uniform, and I could clearly see his face and part of his body. The rest of his pictures were also very high quality, clear, non-blurry and non-grainy, showing him during his travels. In each picture, he looked friendly, well-groomed, confident, hot (LOL), intelligent, interesting, etc.

- His stated intention - it said that he was actively looking for a relationship. That made me really happy, because that's what I was looking for. Had it said he was "not looking for any commitment" or "hang out", I would have moved on with a heavy heart.

- He is an upgraded member. If he is willing to pay, to me that means he takes the whole online dating more seriously and is not just looking for a cheap thrill.

- He had been married before and has kids - all good, because we have that in common.

So after I sent him my "flirt", he wrote back to me, we had a few nice exchanges, he asked for my number and a few days later we had an amazing first date. I'm very, very happy I made the first move, but if he hadn't taken the lead after that, I doubt it would have turned into more.

And my point has been proven, looks is what gets women's attention. The whole women are not as visual as men are is wrong. Women care as much as looks as men do. Thats why im single. And no its not my attitude. I dont say these things IRL, i just dont get approached or hit on. My looks arent good enough for women

And Captain, FYI, I know several very attractive younger women (in your age range) who are married to guys that are not as attractive physically as you are. There is more to it than looks for some of them too, you just have to find the right ones. The good news is that once finding this type of woman, she will most likely be very loyal to you because she has her head on straight and is more mature

I've seen that too, i would always assume those guys made alot of $. You didn't wanna im attractive physicaly,lol. If i were, surly i would get approached IRL and alot of women would either write to me or respond to my messages..

Approaching women isn't any easier for us too. I just freeze up and have no idea what to say. Especially attractive ones, scare me the most! It is all mental for sure and it sucks we let mental things like that control ourselves. But a guy like me gets that assumption that a cute gal probably has 100 men in her life so whats the point? Or shes stuck up, and would probably assume she wouldn't give an average or below average guy a shot. In my age range its different, they are still in the looks is most important thing

When all you do is whine and bash women, saying that we're so shallow? You can dish it out, but can't take it. You are a troll

How is it by me saying the dogma about women? It's not bashing, just stating relavant facts.It makes 110% sense for women to be kinda picky with a mans physical apperance because they get alot of messages and approached alot in person. Its like window shopping, you have so many choices and whats the logical thing to do? Choose the best. For men, well beggers can't be choosers. Its like putting quarters in a slot machine, we can hope we win.

Also i wanna add that calling someone a troll is really offensive. It's not great advice and its demeaning.


As for everything else, "attractive" is subjective. Not everyone women shares the same view of what's attractive and what's not.

Actually that still isn't true. Strong evidence points women all like the same kind of guy. The movie "Magic Mike" it did very well and the majority of people seeing it were women. So that kinda supports my views. I bet you my whole paycheck if i get a ripped bod, hair transplant, women would be chasing me left and right, self confidence means nothing in this day in age.


Hmm, did you ever think maybe women find it "attractive" when YOU approach THEM?

If it were true, then why do i see alot of posts from women saying the majority of men approaching them are unnattractive looking? Many of them say they prefer to approach men as a few posters here stated. So its best to let the woman show interest. Besides how is approaching someone "attractive" does not add up to the dogma on that
