Slow Navigation of Site Choices Posted: 11/19/2009 3:53:22 AM
Two days ago I noticed that when I clicked inbox or sent messages or other choices it took much more time to access these features. I do not have this problem with other web sites. I can navigate all other sites at the normal speed. Thinking that maybe I had a virus, spyware, malware or too many temporary Internet files I ran two of my anti-virus programs, ran three anti-spyware programs, deleted all the temporary Internet files and removed all the history and cookies. The problem of slow navigation continues with the POF site. Any suggestions?

Unique Dating Misunderstandings Posted: 7/16/2009 12:01:54 PM
About two years ago I met a woman online and we exchanged a few emails and spoke on the phone a few times. We agreed to meet in a restaurant that I hadn't been to before on a warm summer night. It was a dark outside but there was a street light about 15 meters away. I went into the empty restaurant and waited for half an hour. Frustrated at being stood up, I decided to leave. As I walked away something made me turn back. She was there except sitting at a table outside! I almost missed out on a date that later turned into a good date. It would have been nice if she told me she was outside.

Plastic + Food + Heat = a health problem? Posted: 6/29/2009 6:03:04 PM
Thanks for the info. It coincides with a Health Canada decision to yank baby bottles with BPA off the shelves.

Can Anyone Relate to Dating a Woman who is Bi-Polar? Posted: 6/26/2009 5:13:29 PM
Yes, I agree that it's always a good idea to avoid flaky people. I dated her for a month. The warning signs were there from the beginning though. There were many days when she didn't want to see me, big changes in what she felt about me and a huge difficulty being logical. Thanks for your post Vische. It has helped take some of the sting out of what happened.

I've heard on the news lately that there is a specific kind of plastic or plastic additive in babies bottles that could potentially harm babies. Does anyone know of any other kinds of plastic or plastic additives that could be a problem for adults?

Can Anyone Relate to Dating a Woman who is Bi-Polar? Posted: 6/26/2009 1:07:37 PM
I am looking for anyone who has dated a woman [or man] who can offer some advice. The woman told me three days ago she was bi-polar. Today she has called off the dating. It stings a bit but I'm okay. I still like her and wish her well. In the future I'd prefer to date a woman who does not have this kind of mental health issue. I'm wondering if anyone knows the behaviours that might give early indications of this issue.

My fiance continually leaves me High and Dry Posted: 6/16/2009 11:41:18 AM
You seem like a very sweet and genuine person and . . . The first line of your post maybe more important than you really being entitled to sexual satisfaction. If he's been your fiance for five years, what is taking him [and/or you] so long to set a wedding date? Maybe it's time to sh*t or get off the pot? This may be especially true if he's not satisfying you.

Why women want guys to come to THEM Posted: 6/13/2009 1:43:32 PM
Interesting idea that women do not want to relinquish power. Don't know if I agree with it or not but a new thought is always welcome. When I read the thread title I immediately thought of the saying: "He chased her until she caught him."

Jenna, it's a shame we are so far away from each other and so different in ages. If our situations were similar, I'd seriously pursue you. Ironically I'd like to really chat you up.

Thanks for your post Jenna. I'm an introvert who prefers dating an introverted woman because we both have a similar style of communicating. Communication is so important for a relationship to flourish. I like big talk instead of small talk. I find small talk is helpful while getting to know a person. After that's established I like to discuss deep topics, profound ideas, etc. And some silences are a relief and welcomed. I like the feeling that two people can still feel comfortable with each other during those silences. I find extroverted women [and men] are fun to hang out with for a while because there is so much externalized energy. After an hour or so though I start to get tired of it. Introverts do a lot of internal processing and an extrovert can fairly quickly overwhelm them. Extroverts are external processors and get a lot of their energy from other people. Different strokes for different folks.

You seem like a very nice woman with a genuine desire for ideas and opinions. We cannot control the replies from others but we can chose how we respond to them. If you disagree with a reply then that's cool. Becoming angry about it defeats your original intention. When I was your age I usually responded with defensive anger. I did this because I didn't know any better. Most of my friends did the same thing. You are responding defensively because that's who you are. It's neither good or bad, It just is. It takes us a while to figure this out. But an older man usually knows this. Your defensiveness suggests an emotional connection with an older man just wouldn't work. You've asked opinions about younger women/older men relationships. Many 19 year olds wouldn't even conceive of this very mature viewpoint. This suggest to me that you would have a very good intellectual connection with an older man. Maybe that's the place to start?

Deciding if a relationship with a man of any age will work or not must first start with knowing what you want in a relationship. You are very young and have not had enough life experience to really know what you want in a relationship. Maybe you are attracted to older men because you have fears of never knowing what you want, being successful, confident and secure yourself? It's natural for all of us to seek out role models, mentors, teachers, etc to help us in life. Maybe you need one of these instead of a relationship with an older man?

Confused: woman shows Long Term profile but isn't looking!?!? Posted: 6/9/2009 9:10:37 AM
It is strange to me that some people feel emotionally responsible to those they have never met or talked with on the phone. I'm accountable for my emotional responses so I find it strange that some people believe that if they are contacted and are not interested that they must say no with a lie. Those people also assume that declining an offer by another will somehow hurt that. It also tells me that the person doesn't view a person as good enough or tough enough. Too many unsubstantiated assumptions.

Confused: woman shows Long Term profile but isn't looking!?!? Posted: 6/9/2009 8:41:03 AM
Thanks for you point of view. I guess I just can't relate to a person who feels it's necessary to not be upfront. I'd rather have no answer or a thanks but no thanks rather than a white lie and confusion. I also thought that naybe she was letting me down gently. I can't relate to that either because she and I don't know each other at all and have no emotional obligations to each other. Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts.

Confused: woman shows Long Term profile but isn't looking!?!? Posted: 6/9/2009 8:24:22 AM
Hi, A woman I contacted on POF said she wanted to go it alone and wasn't looking but was online, still had her profile showing and it stated that she wants a long term relationship. I was frustrated because of the contradiction and because she may have been quite compatible. Nevertheless, I was nice in my reply and suggested that since she wanted to go it alone she should hide her profile because showing it and wanting a long term relationship implied she didn't want to be unattached. She didn't seem to get my meaning because she replied and oddly stated that looking didn't imply anything. Comments?

A pity. It helped focus on the desirables and filter out the rest. Thanks for the info.

This site needs a profile hide feature Posted: 6/7/2009 6:21:54 PM
Too bad this site doesn't have that feature. A free program called Adblock Plus can be used the hide the image. Maybe that will work for you?

Maybe we all find it easier to give advice than to consistently follow it ourselves because we can be objective about another but it's hard to do that for ourselves.

There was a very useful M-B search that seems to to have disappeared. Does anyone know why this feature was discontinued?

New Colour Scheme Posted: 6/5/2009 5:41:34 PM
Hi, I was going through the POF site, then left it for about 10 mins. When I logged back on the new colour scheme was in place.

New Colour Scheme [CLOSED Thread] Posted: 6/5/2009 4:56:46 PM
I like the bold new colours. A suggestion though - some of the the colour combinations make it difficult to read the words of the features/menus/options.

Hi Amazonblonde, Thanks for the message. It's very nice to hear from you. I tried to reply but I received a message from POF saying that I was blocked. If I am on your blocked list, please take me off so I can reply. Thanks

Trying to Reply to a Message From a Member who has Blocked me Posted: 7/31/2008 10:50:47 AM
I received a message from a woman I met several months ago. When I tried to reply to her message, a message from POF said she has me blocked. Does anyone know if there is there a way I can communicate with her, OR if she can be told that I can't reply to her and that I want to? Feeling Helpless and Frustrated

Do you like the new Color Scheme? Posted: 7/28/2007 8:14:24 AM
I dislike the widening of the pages on this site. It's frustrating to not see everything as before. I welcome the flexibility to change colours.
