    Sorry you aren't having much luck online. However, don't knock POF. I've heard of a number of people who have found their Love on POF. My friend is now married to a man she met on POF.

    Just take your time and ask alot of questions :laugh: . Before you exchange numbers, make sure your correspond thru email a few times. That way if you don't like his convo, you can let him know online and not worry about someone continuing to call.

    I'm no longer on those sites, but I did meet good men on POF but not everyone is a match. :flowerforyou:

    POF is a POS in my opinion. Now I know some people have had luck on some these "Dating Websites" and are now married to their SO. But I have met a few from POF and of course with my luck they turned out to freaks.

    Try going back into your questionaire and increase the importance you place on physical attraction/attractiveness.

    I was just going to say that.

    I had some good experiences with okcupid back when i was in the dating scene.
    They have questionnaires and give you people who are more compatible with the questionnaires . But you are also allowed to browse yourself.

    I actually met my wife on a site called ChristianCafe.com. Of course, just because it's a "Christian" singles site doesn't mean that there's not going to be some "colorful" characters on there as well ... :ohwell:

    Ok, what kind of cat are we talking about? Size wise. Am I going to get a #10 envelope, or like a box?

    I am on eharmony right now. I found my last bf there. Last week i had a phone conversation with a guy that asked me the age of my cats!!!! So this time i do not have great luck. You really have to have a very thick skin to put yourself on a dating site. It even harder when you have kids. They do not even answer my pm. Good luck to you

    I tried the online dating through some of the more popular sites. When I did meet up with two guys on two dates, they were basically after a booty call. It really turned me off of the whole thing. I ended up looking at MySpace and doing a search for people in my own area and age group. I read through some profiles and messaged some guys that seemed nice. I met my husband that way!

    I love OK!Cupid. I find it highly entertaining. I've had some very failed dates (one guy met me and e-mailed me some porn that he had written after meeting me), no luck dating on line. :( OK!C pissed me off on Monday, though, it was my birthday and it sent me an e-mail, "Happy Birthday! Still Single?" aaaaaaaaaaand I laughed hysterically and told my best friend who made fun of them with me.

    Years ago, I spent an obscene amount of time filling out the eHarmany profile questionnaire. Only to have them tell me I was unmatchable. Rude much?

    I got the same response on an on-line dating site once. Nice way to boast some ones ego. "We're sorry, there is nobody in our database that is compatible with you at this time" sad030.gif

    And if you plan to respond with 'im glad I don't have to date anymore' please PM me your address so I can send you some cat poop in the mail.

    I love you.

    ^^^This is EXACTLY what I did. I searched MySpace like you did, and found my significant other this way. We've been a happy couple for three years.

    freaking hilarious post!

    A friend of mine did eharmony and didn't meet anyone worth mentioning. After that, she tried speed dating and met a few guys. She liked that she got to see them right away (instead of being fooled by a great picture that looked nothing like them). Maybe you can find out if there's any of those events in your area.

    I met my husband at Discount Tire...of all places! Keep your eyes open....there are still good men out there! Plus, pay attention when you're out and about, you're probably getting checked out a lot more than you realize!!

    EDIT..for the record, I didn't get married till 39, and HATED people using the "oh, I'm SO glad I'm not OUT THERE" line when I was single too...its the most condescending thing ever. Plus, almost every friend who used that line on me is now divorced...(is it terrible that I find that hilarious?)

    What?? There's no attractive guys that loves cheese and play videos games? It's becoming a sad sad world. LOL

    Maybe, but the problem being is that they are MORE interested in the cheese and the games than developing a relationship with LIVE women.

    I would never online date again. I think it's a good transition for those who are recently broken up with, dating for the first time in a long time, or looking to get laid. Online dating sites are absolutely not for me (even if I were to fall into any of the above categories). I hated every single thing about it.
