I really can't say anything good about POF. I had zero luck there....I drew interest, but it never went anywhere. Same can be said of Match.com. A lot of other sites just want to milk you for money....give you false flirts or false profile views, but once you pay, they all disappear because they are fakes sent by the service to suck you in. The profiles may be real, but the interest never was.

noway

I've only found one decent pay site, and it is full of fakes and scammers. Just have to learn to avoid them.

I've never paid for any dating site, e-Harmony hates independent thinkers and Match.com sounds like a scam. But I did do the free personality thingymajigger at e-Harmony...funny, millions of users and not one of them a match for me.smokin

I'll stick to this site, I know people here, it is friendly for the most part and the problems are far and few between. Besides, I just put in my custom comfortable office chair with bolts...I'm not going anywhere for awhile.smokin

Had a few dating sites in my time. What jokes!!! People don't truly take time to ask about their profiles and they send the same people out all the time. One even puts pics of young girls out there to draw in men and then they are not avaiable !!! What a scam. I think I will stay here and drive people nuts with my incessant postings(smile). It is way better here than anywhere else. My own opinion though. POF is out for me. I was there and hated it!!!!

hi i just recently joined plentyoffish and even poured in some money to upgrade and be a "serious" member but it's been going on almost 5 days now and no luck. have you had any luck on that site? any suggestions?


Plentyoffish.com=Local pub.

Mingle2.com=Pool hall with bar.

Sorry, but PoF has a serious lack of any decent people there.


can't not comment on this one.....
I've found much more intelligence in the PoF forums ... just more nazi mods ...

PoF is more Canadian. that's the big difference
so ... for Canadians ... its way better ... more people closer to home ... so there is actually a good chance of meeting them face to face and not just cyber chat/crap.


I tried POF and have to disagree about the intelligence there. To each their own, though.


true enough ... but I'm wondering if you even found the PoF forums ... lol ....

that idiot Marcus hid them earlier this year ... I'm not talking about the average guy that might email you.

all sites are the same as far as that goes.

I find this site never has anyone interesting that is close enough to meet in person ... datehookup is the same ....

i primarily only use these places to entertain myself in the forums and PoF science forum has a bit of intelligence in it so I'll stick up for it. ... and the Poetry forums in Pof are vastly superior to any of these other sites ... though it has been going down hill the last couple of years. [yet that is just a personal opinion]

Yep, I found the forums. And it seemed like they were full of people arguing and being rude to each other. Wasn't very interesting to me. Didn't make anyone sound more intelligent. Full of the same questions over and over. I haven't looked at them in a while, though, so perhaps they have magically gotten better?

It's been quite a while since I was on the forums there.
I noticed one time, the News and Current events were missing.
How do you get back into them?

Never heard anything good about PoF, never been there myself, just saying the scuttlebutt isn't good.

This site and you people RULE!

Was on POF recently for a month and a half and hid my profile the majority of the time. Tons of fairly local people. Met at least 10 and was stood up by just as many. Didn't like the fact that it always showed you online.

I think many on there are serial daters and if they think they can get "lucky" with someone else they won't even bother to call to let you know they aren't showing up. I took to texting or calling beforehand to confirm. Majority of the ones that contacted me were players or needy men. I did meet two men that are friends and one that I will continue to date. I took my profile off because I got tired of the games.

I have been on there off and on for the past few years. Met the last 2bfs on there. But for the most part all I get are perverts and players. Or people just delete my messages. So I just stopped sending any. I have a profile there now but no hits recently. Lots of views but no messages.

I think I will just stick to mingling.drinker

you can't really go out and look for love most of all in a week lol but what you can do look to be a friend with the person first get to know them be honest to them talk to them and if you both feel like more then friends then thats great ask a lady on a date but never rush people or don't sound desperate just be yourself and let love find you if you are a decent guy and respectful i sure a nice lady will chat to you and get to know her and also accept people for themselfs if a lady just wants to be a friend just be a friend you still made a new friend:) or try a change of profile if you getting no reponses but i can say good luck my friend i like this place mingle thou the ladys are friendly the 1s i talked to on here but i always say best is be honest and true and never presurwe any lady and always show respect and get to know the person cheers have a great time cheers buddy hope you find a nice lady friend and it leads to a happy relationship for you good luck give it time:))))))


Actually, looking for a "special someone" is like a job. You have to take your time, do a lot of research, put some effort into honing your craft( your life and your profile), be the best you can be, and lastly and most important, be patient and open in your views. It will be definately worth the investment if you proceed with caution and maintain an air of quality. And, it won't hurt to hang out here, ask questions, and post. Best of luck in your search.


I think this is a wonderful post full of wisdom and good advise.


Seems what few men I have dated since starting to date a good while after my husband died have been so very desperate, to the point of needing to be saved in some basic way...they just pushed and pushed and pushed until they pushed me right out the door at a dead run! Desperation, to me, means you need to fix stuff in your own life. Learn to be happy with your own company, learn to like who you are. Desperate people have nothing to offer/bring to a relationship but rather just need and need and need.

So as others have said, slow down, take your time, be a friend first and at all costs avoid coming across as desperate! Good luck, hope you meet your special someone when the time is right.
