POF is great if you are looking for sex. Bc from my experience that was what I ran across, Don't know about OKC becasue they are slow to respond.0

So this is the message I got this morning:
"If you could fart on anyone in the world, who would it be?"
Ummmm....0 -
That's just stupid and immature. I just delete something like that and don't reply.
I just got the "Hello. How are you?" email. Ugh. Really? I have a pretty full profile. You can't think of ONE thing to say about it?0 -
I know exactly what you mean!! I always get "Hey cutie! (or beautiful, or sexy, etc.)". Really? Then they're completely surprised when I mention that I sing opera. That's one of the first things on my profile -- not exactly a secret haha.0

Exactly what I mean. I reference my two sons and their ages in the first line of my summary and I've had guys ask about my kids. LOL Dorks! At least pretend you're interested in something other than my photos!0

Wow, that makes me feel like even more of a loser, knowing there are so many men compared to women, and I still can't find anyone. LOL
I wouldn't interpret it like that. We operate in different age cohorts. I'm still in my 20s, and I'm looking for women 21-27. Women 21-27 are in the absolute highest demand. A typical 25 year old woman is getting messages from men up to about age 50.
A 45 year old woman is typically going to be interested in men 45+. The dynamics of that cohort are going to be much different than those in their 20s.
I hope that you find what you are looking for. I am starting to focus more of my efforts on offline dating.0 -
Very good point. For some reason, men my age can't face the fact that they ARE my age and most 25 y/o women aren't interested in them lol.
Good luck! I work from home and don't go to a gym, so I don't have many options for meeting quality people. So online it is for me!0 -

50 year old men realize that there are some 25-30 year old women that would be interested. However, most 50 year old men would be better off focusing their efforts on women in their 40s.
At 28, I am most interested in women in their mid 20s.0 -
Never tried OKCupid. I was on match.com for a while but found that most men (even though it was a pay site) just wanted sex or were really kinda creepy. I had pretty good luck on POF. I met some nice guys, went on first and second dates but things just didn't click. I'm currently talking with the last guy I met on POF before I de-activated my profile. Obviously he's not after just sex because we TALK. We speak daily. A three hour phone conversation is not unusual and sometimes it's longer than that. We've been doing this for a little over three months. Our first "date" is supposed to be this weekend. We've tried other times but due to distance (an hour) and work schedules, it just hasn't happened yet. But what a nice foundation of friendship we've gotten just by talking!!!
I was on eharmony for a while, and met some very nice people, nothing stuck past a first or second date. One guy may have had long term potential but he went back to an ex. Eharmony is expensive though and I'm not sure it's worth the cost. I just joined the singles group on MFP, because you just never know where Mr. Wonderful is hiding.0 -
Babs proves the point I've tried to make on this board several times. There are no bad sites, just bad people!! I've read a bunch of times that POF is nothing but a hookup site. Now Babs says she's met some nice guys from there. And she felt that the Match people were creepy, opposite of the general consensus.
I just think you need to try them all and it's a total crap shoot if you happen to see or be seen by the right person.0 -
So I have a date on Friday for lunch with a guys from OkCupid. So we will see how it goes0

Good luck! I have a first date tonight with someone from POF.0

i wanna meet someone the old fashioned way like shopping for groceries! haha does that even happen anymore? seems like everything is online because people think its easier, but its not! Im on pof met lots of a guys over the years but nothing ever serious. Than i met my ex at a bar, big mistake, obviously i was drunk when i met him, damaged a few to many brain cells that last for 2 years hahaha0

Surprisingly it went really well! We agreed we both want to see each other again but didn't make a date yet. His birthday is this weekend so he has plans with friends/family. I'm glad he didn't try to invite me-WAY too soon! I'm happy though.0 -

That's a trouble with sooo many dating sites or rather the guys that are on them. You can tell that they're just sending off emails hoping one will stick. I've also had the "hey how r u?" Um, if you can't bother to type the whole words, I'm not interested.0 -

I just found this "singles" area, and so glad it is here
I have tried both pof and OKC, and have had many first/second dates on pof, and made some great friends, and did end up with a 8 mos relationship from POF. Have not had as much luck on OKC, seems like there is not a ton of traffic -in my area anyway.......good luck to all !~!0 -

Thanks guys! The funny thing is, I met him on POF and he's the only guy I met from there. And I've read so many negative comments about that site. It's free though, so I'm happy I met even one person I like. I also paid for match and that was a bust! I hid my profile on both site this morning, quite happily! We obviously aren't in a serious relationship yet, but I just have no interest in meeting someone else until I see where this might go. I don't think it's right to have a profile out there when I have no intention of meeting someone else for now.0

Hiding your profile...
Do you tell him you're doing so? Do you expect him to hide his as well??
Do you talk about this?
Just wondering because this is interesting. I havent hid my profile after dating someone. Mine IS hidden at the moment but because I wanted to get off of there.0 -
Actually he brought up that when he meets someone he likes, he does not date anyone else because he wants to give that one person a chance. This was just something he said, not like a big discussion. I didn't even say anything actually, but I totally agree. I've met enough people to feel that I know what I want. I think he might be the guy. So why would I want to keep looking and "dilute" the attention I give him.
No, I didn't tell him I hid my profiles, and I'm not going to bring it up. Obviously if at some point there is a commitment, then yes I will expect him too. But honestly my main reason to hide mine is cuz I don't want to get any more emails at this point when I know I don't want to meet anyone new.
Also......I was planning to get off of the sites anyway. This timing was just perfect.

I am very, very happy for you!0 -
So I just reactivated my account on there. I can't really remember if I liked it or not since it was over a year ago and I was on a couple different sites then. What do you guys think of it?
Since you mentioned this I opened a profile on it. I figure I'd give it a whirl so thanks for suggesting. So far seems to be interesting... we'll see if it leads to anything! 0 -
