Why are so many women over 30 Cynical
Posted: 11/11/2008 8:33:36 PM
well... if a girl is 30+ and she's single... she's been through the ringer, guys have mistreated her, the hopes and dreams that we're all brainwashed with of finding that ONE special person are starting to fade... if she has kids the father of her children abandoned her and them (even if she pushed him out the door, she rationalizes it as him not being what she thought he should be and that is the abandonment), more and more she finds guys just looking for sex which only serves to justify her jadedness...

same can be said for a guy in his 30's... hell I'm jaded and cynical as much as anyone (hence why I'm still single... that and I'm not rich or super good looking and I'm in LA)

OK men out there, how often do you get in touch with your new date?
Posted: 11/11/2008 8:18:33 PM
there's an unspoken rule (unless you broke it then your friends always beat you with) do not call her the day after, sometimes two, it makes you look needy and women don't like that (they like to be the needy ones lol)

Two Questions ?
Posted: 11/11/2008 8:16:41 PM
1. it's been rumored that the best way to get over a girl is to get on another one... sex can temporarily ease pain and suffering and validate some emotional need (for both genders not just women) to feel desired. Sex does not equal love, and love does not equal sex.

2 take the number, just cause we want to be with the ex doesn't mean she wants us back... and then the need to feel desired would come again.

What's going on??
Posted: 11/11/2008 8:08:30 PM
it's only been a couple weeks... how long have you been texting "all the time"
...
could be he doesn't respond because A) HE doesn't wanna seem over eager and chase you away or B) your replies are complete and require no further conversing (fat chance but it's a possibility) or C) he got busy with work or something right when you texted him back and it's just a coincidence.

Posted: 11/11/2008 7:04:28 PM
This is "plenty of fish dot com" and fish is an animal that swims away, it doesn't ward off other fish politely, it just swims away...
if you want a person to say "thanks but no thanks" go to a site that has ladies on it, not fish.

Found out girlfriend looked through my old MSN chat with my ex
Posted: 11/11/2008 6:53:58 PM
OP

Question is: what do I do now? Confront her? Let it go? I really like her and don't really mind since I have nothing to hide.


well you're either a liar or you have your answer... if you don't mind, then let it go.
if you really wondering what you should do, then you did mind and thus you're a liar.

the girl you're with is rather insecure, if you want her to feel more secure... don't necessarily let on that you know she was snooping, but you can offer to let her look through your msn messages and conversations to show that YES you did once love someone before her, but NOW you love her and this ex means nothing to you now.......
then delete your ex, in front of her.

Looks will fade, then what?
Posted: 11/11/2008 6:47:10 PM
topazgoddess:

I personally hit the genetic jackpot. My mother is in her 50's and lookin' AMAZING!!! (and I'm her spitting image)

soooo you already look like your mom when she's 50?

OP
Looks are a good way to distinguish who you would WANT to start a relationship with, humans are visual creatures first, we learn mostly from our eyes. BUT by the time you develop a relationship, the importance of looks fade pretty quick, and the person underneath the physical beauty is the most beautiful person on the planet in your own mind.

or should be, unless you're a shallow pr**k.

Do you wish the worst for your ex?
Posted: 11/11/2008 6:40:21 PM
The worst for our ex isn't always ending up with someone older and uglier... sometimes the worst for our ex is not going anywhere in life when they had broke up with you because they were afraid you'd go no where in life...

they say living good is the best revenge and I have to say... YES IT IS!! But not as good as the other living badly, HA!
and anytime she calls to **** about not going anywhere in life or she posts a myspace blog about it, I do a little happy dance.

Wishing the worst for your ex is one thing... but it is sooooooo much sweeter to actually play a hand in making it happen.

Prenuptial - maintaining physique - is it reasonable?
Posted: 11/11/2008 6:06:17 PM
OP
how would a relationship in which the basis of breaking it off with minimal financial loss is something as superficial as physique facilitate a longer more fulfilling marriage?

the best you could do is try to stay in shape yourself, and hope that your partner follows suit.

But by the time you are ready to wed, I would hope that it wouldn't matter if the person's physique wanned, I mean, what would you do if there was an accident that paralyzed your wife? would you leave her? What about a sickness where the treatment was steroids and she gained a bunch of weight for that? would you leave her? I mean in the prenup' you would be entitled to....
if you would leave her, you were undeserving of her from the moment she said "I love you."

trying to change political views of SO.
Posted: 11/11/2008 5:57:12 PM
ask to agree to disagree... if they persist, then not only is this going to be a huge issue for the other person, but they're gonna MAKE it a huge issue for whoever they're involved with.

and it's not just the political issue, it's also this person's need to be validated in being right... that's not just politics, it will come up later over something else.

Plentyoffish Relationship Assessment.
Posted: 7/7/2007 1:42:40 PM
Since when is having strict moral views a negative thing?

When a question came up " I believe any expression of sexuality is healthy and acceptable between two consenting adults." I answered not at all like me, cause well, coprophilia (or fecophilia) is usually a side effect or result from trauma (like being molested/raped) or mental illness... and it's part of the all emcompassing "any expression"... so then I got this:

Food for Thought! PlentyofFish wants you to know about some idiosyncrasies the assessment identified in you. These are issues for you to contemplate on your own or explore with a professional relationship/dating coach.
Issues you seem to Under-value
I believe any expression of sexuality is healthy and acceptable between two consenting adults. Possible reasons you responded this way include negative motivations and positive motivations. On the negative side, it could mean that you have emotional baggage from past relationships, that you have low self esteem or that you have extremely strict moral views. On the positive side, it could mean that you have a realistic view of current life events and circumstances or that you abide by your moral principles.


Aren't moral values something that a society needs to continue to exist? Are the admin's of POF stating that it is negative and wrong to have morals? Cause that's what I got from it. Even to put the possibility in there as "On the negative side, it could mean... ...or that you have extremely strict moral views." Suggests that having firm morals is viewed as a bad thing.
That's not right.

Why is there a lot of good looking women looking to find love single?
Posted: 7/6/2007 3:09:18 PM

...If so, it just proves my point that some women want it all.


That reminds me of a woman friend of mine who told me about how she was walking down one of the streets just off ventura, they have a lot of shops, and she saw this mail order husband store. Crazy right? She thought so as well, but hey, she was curious so she went in. The clerk there explained how they work, apparently this is pretty popular because they had more than just one little catalog... actually they had a kiosk for each guy, and multiple floors. The clerk explained that each floor separates what kind of guys are available, and their policy is that you can only pick one floor to shop on, each floor has an entry kiosk which you can quickly view the qualities that floor offeres, from there you can enter that main "gallery," go to the next floor up, or exit the building, but you can't come back down to a lower floor. My friend thought it was silly, but what the hell, she hasn't had a date in weeks, and well... I won't say anything to break her confidence but time's a tickin'.
Anyway she sign's up and enters the first floor's kiosk, it explains that the men here have an average job, enough to live month to month, they enjoy watchign sports and drinking beer, they don't work out much... you're basic average ordinary guy, so she went up to the next floor (who wouldn't?). On that floor the kiosk said the guys had a middle management job, enjoyed watching sports, able to take a couple weeks off each year, but only drank beer in a bar, my friend smiled but was looking for someone who could take care of himself, so she went to the next floor. This floor's kiosk explained the guys here have a middle management job, content with living in an apartment, excercixed a little, drank socially..... I guess this reminded her of her coworkers who got drunk at company parties... cause she said she laughed and went on up. The kiosk on this floor said the guys on this floor excercise regularly, in a solid management position, working their way to partner, only drank on special occasions, but didn't really want kids. The last part was a turn off, so she went up to the next floor. This kiosk explained that this was the next to the last floor, but on this floor were guys who owned their own business or were partner's in a firm, wanted kids, worked out on a daily basis, and didn't drink very much if at all... except maybe toasts and some of them have even been on magazines as one year's "sexiest bachelor"... My friend was excited about this floor (who wouldn't be?) and was ready to go viewing at what it had to offer..... but she noticed that each floor was getting better and better... so she decided to go to the next floor.
The next floor had only one door which was the exit, and a line to get through it of all the other women who shopped at that place... there was no kiosk, just a sign that said "This floor has no men, it is just here to prove women are never satisfied."

Relationship Needs Assessment
Posted: 7/6/2007 11:30:27 AM
I took that little test for the Relationship Needs Assessment...
in it there was a section of secuallity, and I answered the "I believe any expression of sexuality is healthy and acceptable between two consenting adults." to be nothing like me at all... my reasoning is that some things (like fecaphilia) come from a severe mental malfuntion orare a result from some trauma... and I've never seen two psycho's come together to make a fully functional family.

in the result this was said:
Issues you seem to Under-value
I believe any expression of sexuality is healthy and acceptable between two consenting adults. Possible reasons you responded this way include negative motivations and positive motivations. On the negative side, it could mean that you have emotional baggage from past relationships, that you have low self esteem or that you have extremely strict moral views. On the positive side, it could mean that you have a realistic view of current life events and circumstances or that you abide by your moral principles.

Since when is it "negative" to have strict moral views? Isn't it our duty to discern between right and wrong, the absence of which has led to the fall of many societies in history?
What is this site trying to say? Having morals is a bad thing? If that's so, then why give us the ability to block other's who have harassed us or give limitations on those who have emailed another user looking for sex?

Why is there a lot of good looking women looking to find love single?
Posted: 7/6/2007 10:25:39 AM

Men: Is it because they are unapproachable or what they have in looks they lack in personality or humour? Would you feel threatened from other men if you did go out with a good looking woman? Or would it mak you feel uneasy or inadequate (come on were all adults here)


Every girl, regardless of physical beauty is just as approachable, which is not very much on this site.

I will admit the guys who are higher up the scale on being attractive seem to be looking for NSA's... does that mean that the "hot chics" will appreciate the other quallities of the less attractive guys who are looking for a real relationship, will they even read their profiles past their pictures? Hell NO, they're just as superficial as they claim us guys to be... it's human nature, humans are visual creatures first, as babies we learn by watching, then mimicing what we see, then we learn to read and listen (yes reading is still visual but on a different level). Most media rely on this to sell, which is why most ads are worried about design, artwork, and directing your eyes to their product than actually being able to spell anymore. Put a necklace that hangs close to a busty lady's cleavage and you don't have to spell the name of it right to sell millions. Get a handsome fit topless male model with a decent six pack and muscle tone on smooth skin to spray on some colone, and girls won't even notice I misspelled cologne.

My point is, women like "nice guys" about as much as men like girls with "good personalities." On a dating site, the first thing we see is the picture, the second thing we see is the absence of a picture (and immediately think they're hiding something). However the "hot guys" are looking for NSA's and the "hot chics" looking for a "hot guy" to hook up with aren't ready to admit the only thing they want is someone who looks hot naked and turns them on visually, so they fool themselves in waiting for that one hot guy who's looking for more....... so they can ravage the guy and then break his heart for someone better looking and more well off.

Mail read but not deleted by girl. What does that mean?
Posted: 5/30/2007 11:17:34 PM
well if they don't reply to you, it means rejection...
POF doesn't keep emails over 30 days old, so they can just let their mail get automatically deleted...
Or they don't know how to delete...
I've had a couple read deleted and then a day later they email me...
the only way to know if you're rejected is if you never get a reply.

What does a woman (me) have to do to get a guys attention.
Posted: 5/30/2007 10:55:27 PM
so you joined a dating site, but you're not looking, yet you ask for pointers on how to get guys interested in dating you?

how about not being contradicting?

as far as guys shying away from attractive ladies... we've been programed to do so... in the movies/media it's the hot chicks that are evil, manipulative, gold digging, slutty, whiny whores *cough-Paris Hilton-cough*... and the shy, plain girls are the keepers who are eager to please... and will have our backs when we're down.

Also, we think a hot girl is harder to get and keep because of all the competition for a hottie that's out there, and there's always some guy with better physique, better car, better education and more popular that what we are/have.

Why is it like pulling teeth to find out what a guy does?
Posted: 5/30/2007 10:11:09 PM
I see a lot of guys asking "what does a guy's job have to do with love"...
well what do married people argue about most? bills, house payment, paying something for their kids... how much the wife spent on shoes or sexy dresses, what the guy spent on crap for their cars or tools in the garage,
money money money money money...

A girl wants to be taken cared of... they might want to work and have their own aspirations for corporate success, but they like knowing their man can take care of them if the need arises.

It's hard wired since the old days, the man who could kill the most game or provide the most food, got their pick of the women...

I rig for videogame/3D animation... worked my ass of to get here, love it and consider it one of my life's accomplishments when I see my name on the credits of a professional project! BTW..

Maybe she was hoping she would be special girl #2 . . . ever. But, now that she knows she's not, she can dream up all sorts of scenarios to make herself insecure in the future or to throw in your face at the appropriate time TBA.
...
Oh - and one more reason I just thought of: she wanted to kill the mood and your boner, bypass sex, and instead, have a thoroughly exhausting conversation in bed.

Just because a woman has a good body and is proud of it doesn't mean they want to have a bunch of pervs or guys asking for a piece all the time. Most of the time, if your body looks good, its because you put some effort into it. You want to show it off.

That's like guys who say they have a good job ($$) saying they don't want gold diggers. Just because they have worked hard to get what they have doesn't mean they want some chick to take it all.


good point... but you can show off your physique without focusing on a sexy/slutty pose with lingerie and a seductive look on your face...

and any guy who says they have a good job ($$) are going to get gold diggers, even if they say they don't want one, they're half expecting a few to come around.

But that's the thing... a guy isn't self-contradicting, if he's showing money shots /sex pics... of course he's looking for sex... everyone knows he is, hell most guys without sexy pictures are hoping to attract a lady and eventually have sex (even if it's not the ONLY thing he's looking for, he's still hoping sex is a part of it).

But a woman will have her ass all out on a shot, bent over,, or a shot looking down her shirt, sometimes not even showing all of her face, and then say "not looking for sex"
...
I'm wondering why?

Pictures contradicting profile...

How come many of you have these sexy pictures which expose ... quite a bit of your more interesting parts, even to the point of posing in a sexy position with nothing but bra and panties on or some lingerie... then in your profile say "no perv's" or "if you're looking for sex don't message me" or the like?

The perfect POF message?
Posted: 5/30/2007 8:55:26 PM
Ok, so why are so many of my messages that respond and show that I've read a profile, and am interested get read-deleted, and never answered?

I swear it's about as responsive as spam email... send out 100 and get 10 replies and from them get 5 interest, and from that get 1 date!?

wtf?

Missing Marble posts too much on the "What is wrong with the persons profile above you in this thread" to make himself laugh and feel better by putting others down.

tawnysummer:
Perhaps this is just a difference between men and woman we'll never really learn to navigate successfully. It sure makes things a helluva lot more interesting around here, though, eh?


There's a saying about the difference of men and women... if a boy colors a picture with crayons, he'll use the 8 color box set, and create a very pretty picture with the simple colors. If a girl colors the same picture with crayons, she'll use the 64 color box set, and all of the colors that are in it, and even mix some new ones when she feels they need to be... and her picture will be very pretty. The trick in getting along is that while the guy won't understand the complexity of all those colors (violet red, red violet, violet, purple... etc), he should appreciate the variety and wonderment of how all those shades and tints work well with eachother, and the girl while looking at the guy's picture may seem simple, direct, and even plain when compared to hers... shouldn't compare his to hers, and appreciate the simplicity and directness of his piece.
