FOOTBALL PARTY - SLICK WILLIE'S, TONA NY - SEPT 30, 1PM - RAFFLE, TRIVIA & MORE!
Posted: 8/8/2012 2:41:23 AM
Ahhhh, September... we're leaving behind the scorching, sultry days of summer and enjoying a slight crispness in the air that teases our senses with the promise of Fall. Looking forward to the vibrant colors of Autumn, some quiet, (the kids are back in school), hoping for a little hibernation... a period of time to enjoy before the winter frost.
And, there's something else to look forward to this time of year ...
FOOTBALL !!!!!!!!!!!
Slick Willie's Sports Bar has invited POF members to view the Buffalo Bills taking on the New England Patriots in a fun, relaxed, comfortable, and casual setting. There's plenty of parking and no cover charge. The bar has more large TV's than you can count, electronic dart boards, a video arcade of games, and if the "M" shaped bar in the main room isn't enough, they have an island bar in another large room filled with pool tables, more TV's and enough room to mingle! That's where you'll find us! :)
Dig out your jersey, paint your face (lol), or just come as you are, and have a great time with some new friends, or find a spark among the spectators!
There will be a trivia game at halftime with a gift card for the Outback Steak House for the winner, and every POF member will get a free raffle ticket and a chance at one of the following (you have to be present to win)...
NFL History of the Buffalo Bills - 2 DVD Set
Buffalo Bills Fan Band Cuff Bracelet
Bills Neoprene Sunglasses
Bills Sunglasses strap
Bills Dog Tag with chain
********
WHERE:
Slick Willie's, 2316 Niagara Falls Boulevard Tonawanda, NY 14150, (716) 743-8233
WHEN:
Sunday, September 30th, 2012
TIME:
1:00pm - ??

Adding hosts and losing tools
Posted: 8/2/2012 3:09:27 AM
I am hosting an event and added my co-hosts so they could make changes to the event if they wanted to, or send out the mass email for the event. As soon as I did that, I lost all my tools to make any changes.
Does anyone know how to fix that. This is the second time this has happened. The last time, one of my co-hosts had to go back in and add me back... which removed her. Maybe we're only allowed to have one host who can make changes or send the mass email for the event?

What did I miss so I can avoid same mistake in the future
Posted: 11/20/2011 10:20:29 AM
I know this thread was started over a year ago, but hopefully you did get out, and this is all now a moot point.
There is nothing you could have done. You're smart if you got out. I stayed in a marriage just like yours for 29 years. I hope you don't waste your youth trying to find out what you did wrong. Some people have emotional/mental issues that are not, and will never be your fault... as much as the abuser would like to make you think their horrible rages are due to what you said or did.
You can't fix this. Only he can, and he may not even realize how bad his behavior is because mentally, his behavior seems "normal" and justified.
Make a life for yourself with a loving, caring man. Pay very close attention to how that person treats others though. I saw signs of my ex's rage against his mother. He tried to blame it on her being a nag, but anyone who cannot control their temper with someone else, will eventually transfer that aggression from others, to you.

Should she return the engagement ring to her husband?
Posted: 11/6/2011 7:15:32 AM
I like Tasion's response! If it was a gift of a promise that was fulfilled and I had no intentions of wearing it, by selling it and donating the money, that would bring some good from a union that wasn't.

Posted: 11/6/2011 7:10:22 AM
The ring was a gift... and that promise was fulfilled. The ring is her's. There have been people who have gone to court over rings and the woman gets to keep the ring unless he gave her the ring and the next day they broke up. She might not wear it again, but she can have the stone re-set, or if it would bring back too many painful memories, sell it.

can't commit now and says to move on
Posted: 11/6/2011 7:02:58 AM
Sometimes people can't come right out and tell you that they aren't feeling it. But one thing for sure, if someone is really into you, he'd move heaven and earth to be with you. If he's telling you he can't commit, time to move on. Don't accept less than you deserve... ever. If you're waiting around for the one who doesn't want you, you could be missing the one who does.

Save the queen...
We all bring friends along, so why not tell all your single female friends about it? Tell them to tell their friends and before you know it, there will be more people your age.
Always worth a try... no cover, so come early and if there's no one there you see that interests you, it's still early enough to go somewhere else.
Oh, and keep in mind... sometimes the "older folks" might just have a daughter they'd like you to meet. :) Never know.

Typo.... that was for 2 drinks, not 3.
I always tip bartenders very well. My brother used to own a club downtown, so I take good care of the bartenders. Just because I wish the drinks were a little cheaper doesn't mean I don't like the place, don't enjoy the mingles there, and wouldn't recommend them to everyone... as a matter of fact, I've recommended it to several people.

I agree with those who went to Adam's Mark. When those mingles were held in other places years ago, there were games, 5 minute speed dating, prizes, and more... they were a lot of fun. At Adam's Mark, I also stood in a line that went all the way to the escalator! It was a long wait to get in, and by the time we got up to get food, there was nothing left... but they had a lot of popcorn! lol It was a lot to pay for popcorn. The entertainment was okay, but nothing special.
At least at Pietro's, it's cozier, good music and food. Only thing I wish was that the drinks were a little cheaper. $6.50 a drink is pretty pricey and also, many times we ordered 3 drinks, they took a $20 and never gave us the change back, saying it was their tip. Not going to carry $20's anymore. lol

Why are their so many more guys looking to meet on here then women.
Posted: 4/17/2010 9:16:00 AM
Dan 193....
I think part of the problem is not having a picture. 9 time out of 10, it's because the guy has something to hide... a wife, a girlfriend... or thinks he needs to hide how he looks. If you're not laying it right out there on the line, she might shy away from responding. I don't respond to anyone without a picture unless he's got a VERY good reason for not having one... a gov't employee or teacher could be a good reason.

TheUltimateObjectOfDesire...
If you're not getting responses, you might want to reconsider your screen name first. "Object of Desire" might equate to a woman as "he's looking for sex." Also, "chick" is not the most flattering way to refer to a woman.
I know... we women "think too much." Most of us do... we try to see red flags because frankly, we want to avoid possibly getting hurt in the future. Since it seems that the vast majority of men are not looking for relationships and are really only looking to sample every dish in every restaurant, we'd kind of like to weed them out from the get-go.

Western NY (Buffalo) *is* regular NY too. :)
When I first joined this site, I was getting tons of emails, but I can't imagine it going to anyone's head. Who cares how many emails you get if most of those emails are junk?
I'm here looking for something lasting and genuine... something I may never find, but I'm still hopeful.
I think sometimes women don't answer emails... even to say they aren't interested... because humans are, by nature, often afraid to hurt someone's feelings. Maybe we feel we have nothing in common with that person. Maybe we are not physically attracted to them. I try to answer all the emails I get, but I can understand why some people don't. I guess it has a lot to do with how much honesty means to that person.

do good guys get the girl?
Posted: 11/15/2009 4:38:26 PM
Provided the nice guy is looking for the right woman. I'll use my brother as an example... he is a nice guy, but he looks for the model or cheerleader type... gorgeous, outgoing, thin, blonde, a little b*itchy, who really is very full of herself. Time and time again he's rejected. He's a good looking guy, but looking for the wrong type of woman. If he tweaked his preferences just a bit, I am sure beyond a shadow of doubt he would find someone.
As for me, I am looking for the nice guy. But I hate to say it... there are not too many around, and all those bad apples really do spoil the bunch. Still, I'm not closing the door... just being very particular about how far I open it, and to whom.

The problem is, these women are getting flooded with responses from guys. <<<
I know a lot of women on this site and there are a few reasons why women don't always respond. Men and women think differently. While men (and I'm generalizing with all this) are very visual, women are emotional creatures. Men are drawn to a pretty face (the reason so many never read our profiles), but women are usually drawn to someone genuine. Sure, we have to have initial attraction, but there has to be more.
I'm totally turned off by guys who go on and on about how physically fit they are, guys with pics of their muscles, or holding a fish. lol Okay, I like to know someone takes care of themselves and enjoys the outdoors, but I'd like to know the kind of person you are... what you're looking for... what makes you happy... and that you're not just here looking for another notch in your belt.
Sure, we get a lot of emails, but trust me, that doesn't mean we like them. I get a whole lot of emails that say things like, "Hey sexy, looking for someone to have some fun with." Those are overlooked immediately. So are the ones saying things like, "You're hot" or "Looks like you've got some big boobs." And yes, your male counterparts really do send emails like those... a lot of emails like those! I get some that are FAR worse and I can't even imagine a complete stranger ever writing things like that. I for one want to be respected. I want to know the guy contacting me REALLY is looking for a relationship and honestly does want to get to know me. But, the feeling myself and my friends get is one of 'he's emailing as many women as he can in hopes he's going to get as much sex as he can.'
I know that's not the case with all men. So, the respectful and genuine emails always get a response. I hate the fact though that the bad apples really leave a very bitter taste in our mouths. I wish the nice guys could read the emails we get from the ones who are not so nice.
As far as the statistics go, there are 2 women to ever 1 man in Western NY. The problem is, the guys are taking that so for granted, they have forgotten what respect really is.
Trust me, we don't have it made. Just my 2 cents.

East Amherst NY 14051 POF Party @ Pietros 5841 Transit RD March 6 2009 7:00 PM
Posted: 2/22/2009 2:08:52 PM
Some non-bar suggestions (some during the nicer weather)....
Botanical Gardens meet and greet
Dog walk in Delaware Park for all of us dog lovers.
POF picnic (might be able to get food donated from some local deli's)
How about having a lawn fete meet and greet in the summer?
There are many car shows over the summer. One of my favorites is the one in Olcott. There is a huge shelter where you can bring food, gather and talk, then walk around and see some amazing cars. :)
I'm sure everyone would have some ideas that wouldn't take place in a bar.

kimber, I don't run them (I've heard that from a few others too) ... our wonderful Dubs does. And his efforts are greatly appreciated!! I just come to mingles and have fun talking to people I've met along the way. :)
Hope you attend on Tuesday if for no other reason than to watch the first POF fight. I hear there is going to be some biting, screaming and scratching. Um... wait... are we sure that's a POF fight or the goings on from the room Tim and his "lover" are getting down the road. lol

Interesting questions....
What do you think is the most important value in a relationship?
I CAN'T SAY JUST ONE... LOVE, PATIENCE, RESPECT, HONESTY, FRIENDSHIP, CARING
You have got six months to live, what will you do first?
TELL EVERYONE HOW VERY MUCH I LOVE THEM AND THAT WHEN I GO, I TAKE A PART OF EACH OF THEM WITH ME.
What makes you laugh/cry?
LAUGH... A GOOD JOKE, A FUNNY EXPRESSION, LAUGHING AT MYSELF
CRY... KNOWING A CHILD WAS HURT, SEEING SOMEONE I LOVE CRYING, LOSS
What adjective would a close friend use to describe you?
GENUINE, HONEST, GENEROUS, CARING
Are you a morning person or a night person?
BOTH, I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING. :)

I saw that Tim asked how comfortable it would be to sit and talk to someone you aren't interested in. I used to go to mingles that had 5 min dating. We had those few minutes to ask questions and try and get to know someone a little. I thought it would be uncomfortable, but what I found was that I made friends.... people I might not have ever approached or who may not have approached me, were now getting to know a little about me, and visa versa.
We may not have been a match, but remember, friends are always nice to have. Next time you go to a mingle, you might walk up to talk to someone you met during speed dating and, lo and behold, they might have a friend who sparks your interest.
I've made a lot of friends at the mingles and I've had a great time. There have only been a couple of times I felt a spark with someone, but even so, at least I'm having a fun with people who are no longer strangers.

Dubs... Paradise Island is different from most venues. It sort of reminds me of the old Kahunaville that was at the Galleria Mall. I used to love that place!
I'll see everyone tonight and looking forward to bringing in the New Year with my fellow fishies. :)

Hi Dubs,
One of the motels you mentioned....
Transit Manor Motel
6 Jessica Ln, Depew, NY
716-674-7070 (0.39 miles away)
I'm not sure where that is, but there is a Jessica Lane right near where I live, and it's a residential street right down the street from Page's Paradise (about 2 min away), the first street past French Rd. There are no motels on that street. I'm not sure where there is another Jessica Lane, but don't want anyone getting confused and ending up at my house all night. lol

It's okay. :) I was talking about young children who really do need their parents around. I can't imagine leaving to go halfway across the country for a guy when my kids still need me.

You're kids are blessed to have one very loving parent who is active in their lives, showing them love, and making a difference. I know for me, my mom is definately on a pedestal because she tried so hard to give us enough love for both parents. That is a saint in my book.

shmodilla..
It's great if you're the kind of father who actually uses planes, trains and automobiles to be sure he sees his kids. But that doesn't seem to be the reality for most. I know men who moved away from their kids to pursue a woman and they expect their kids to always call their father, call their father, while the guy is busy having a good time with the new woman... so much so, he forgets he has kids.
I don't know... as a parent myself, I would much rather my daughter or son stay close to their kids rather than to me. I have memories. I have an entire past with my child, but their kids won't have much of those if they aren't around their father enough to form those memories. Seeing a father only a few times a year... well, that really isn't enough to nurture that bond that a small child needs.
As far as me being 12 and my father walking away.... I don't think it matters how old a child is... you miss that parent, and you wonder why they walked away. Maybe it would have helped had he called or written. Maybe it might have been better had he visited. But for him, planes, trains and automobiles never brought him back.
We can all speculate how a child will react of feels, but no one really knows except the child. And sometimes even a kid can be good at hiding behind a smile.

On a similar note... I've known men who had kids with another woman and said things like, "I am making up with this one for what I didn't do for my others."
You can't make up to one child for not being there by being there for another child. It's never too late to make that effort.

Nona,
I've talked to several men who have no problem leaving behind their kids. By the same token, there are so many women who don't seem to think anything of a guy saying his kids will be fine without them.
In my case, we were better off without our father in our life. He wasn't a very good person. So, maybe the same holds true for anyone who would do the same to their children.
I love a guy who is a good dad.... someone who misses being with them every day, but makes an effort to be an example to their kids. That to me... is a real man.

a/c... same here. I can't imagine leaving my young kids behind to put myself and my needs first.

When you start talking to someone from another state, and you know they have young kids, how do you feel when they tell you they are willing to relocate?
Personally I'm turned off by that. I'm very impressed when a man who is a good father and keeps that responsibility close to his heart. When a person is eager to move away... meaning they would rarely see their child... I wonder if they are able to form strong enough connections to even make a relationship work. Not to mention, they are putting a woman as a priority over their own flesh and blood. Young children won't understand why "daddy" or "mommy" didn't love them enough to stay.
I know a woman who walked away, moved halfway across the country and left four kids under the age of ten behind. She sees them twice a year because they can't afford to make the trip here to see the kids. The kids have grown up not really knowing their mother, so when she does visit, she's like the distant aunt instead of "mom".
I've talked to many men who said their kids would be just fine without them because they have a loving mother and extended family. That really makes me cringe! My own father did the same... something that was torture for my siblings and I.
I'm just wondering if this is as much of a turn off for other people as it is for me.

southtownguy....
Many times a picture does not say a thousand words. In person though, there could be an attraction that isn't happening online. Getting to know someone in the flesh is far different. You can see the person smiling. You can see how they are in social situations... are they shy, life of the party, do they mingle or stand like a wallflower? When they talk, do they look you in the eye or avert their eyes? All those things matter, and all those things can't be seen online.
A mingle is a perfect way to know if there is chemistry. Typing onto a blank page just doesn't have the same effect.
You never know, if you come to a mingle, you just might find the fishy for you.

Roger,
I wasn't complaining at all about your pictures! I think they actually turned out the best of any I've seen so far. There was a pic you took at the mingle... showed it to me and I wasn't crazy about this big black thing that seemed to be over my head (it was something behind me), so asked if you would delete it. Thank you for that. :)

He needs some space
Posted: 11/24/2008 3:58:14 PM
Every single time I've ever known of a man to say he needed some space to work on some issues, usually the issue was that he wasn't feeling it for the woman the way she was feeling it for him. I've been in that situation myself. We'd been seeing each other for 5 months and then he needed space to figure things out. I waited another couple of months and then a friend told me he was on the personals. When I asked him about that, he said, "We broke up 2 months ago." No we didn't! He told me he didn't want me to see anyone else... just to give him the time he needed.
I think if someone really loves you, they can't imagine life without you in it. If they are asking for a break, space, time, etc, I'd chalk that up to lots of doubt on his part, and I'd hope the man I am giving my heart to would be as sure as I am.

I had a great time as usual!! It was so nice to meet some new people and hang out with some we've met along the way... Rick - love the new toy! Don- you are so darned sweet! Kevin - you can sneak my pizza any time. lol And Mark - just because you showed your nips doesn't mean the rest of us would. lol I met a few others and I'm so sorry I don't remember your names. :(
Again, had a great time with my girls... Nikki, Angel, AJ, Cindy, and I'm glad my brother stopped in too. :)
Doesn't matter the size of the crowd, you just have to make your own fun.

why do people put on long term when they mean dating
Posted: 11/16/2008 7:11:45 AM
shelove47....
How can someone possibly know that the person they start seeing is going to end up being longterm? I have longterm on my profile because that is inevitably what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for endless dating, but that may be what ends up happening until you find "the one."
I think if someone isn't ready for a relationship and just enjoys meeting a lot of new people, then they should list "dating." But if they really do want something more, the word "longterm" applies.

When does it become being pushy?
Posted: 11/15/2008 9:34:28 AM
I don't delete my emails... so that is no indication of interest or not. If the woman doesn't email you back, you have your answer.
