Ok. So I've never done a dating site. POF experience after 1

Banks01

A friend HERE is having fun there and reccomended/suggested/encouraged me to go look

I've always shied away from dating sites, just not my thing.

And now I've got 15 or so "wants to meets" people yet NONE are ones I want to meet.

Anyone had success there? I'm doubting this is an effective way.

Whoops. Make that 18

I met my husband 11 1/2 years ago through yahoo personals! Met 3 great guys, one kinda creepy one. It was a great experience.

I had great success on there still with the love of my life 25months later and planning our future

No, but your profile must be pretty interesting to get that many responses. Good luck!

I don't think I could ever do a dating site, but that's just me and my personality.

I only get booty call attempts from POF

6 years ago I joined EHarmony, we chit-chatted for a couple weeks, went out on a date, starting dating exclusively, we bought a house in 2010, and got married the day before Thanksgiving of 2011. Totally wasn't expecting to meet 'the one'.

Good luck

My mom met her husband on Yahoo personals. You never know.

I met my BF on POF. I just ignored the "matches" that were of no interest. He wasn't even a "match" we had very little in common.

I have to say that if I were looking for a man, the fact you have a golden would be a huge thing for me! LOL. I am such a golden retriever lover and any man who has one by his own choice can be nothing but good!

I have heard bad things about POF. That being said, I am sure there are some good dating sites out there. You might have to pay for a quality site though.

I don't know what POF is, but I've been married to my online experience for 11 years. We met online before it was "normal" to meet people online. Forget the fact that he was from Massachusetts and I am from TX. It's been AWESOME! Take a chance, and have fun. You never know who you might meet!

I had no luck with POF - just a lot of unwanted contact from creepers. Ended up on Match.com for 2 mos...A handful of dead end dates later and I finally my now b/f of going on 9 mos! I feel like paying helped weed out the creepiest of the creepy. Not foolproof, but helped some.

Okcupid is a much better site. Pof is a site where people are just looking for *kitten* basically lol

I don't really want to be on a dating site per se. I've been pretty happy finding dates traditionally. You know, actually meeting and talking to someone lol.


It's kind of an exploration of a new side of me

I was on Match.com. It tried to match me with my ex-husband, lol. The majority of people I met on there were players. It was kind of good for an ego boost though.

McLifterPants

Met my fiance on OkCupid (which is free, by the way). Met a lot of great people on there over time, actually, and some are still friends! But the last one happens to be the best thing that ever happened to me

quink77

I registered on OKCupid almost a year ago. Of course, there are creepers out there, and you have to be careful, but the majority of men I have met have been really great. The best thing about OKC is that it is entirely free.

niknak0508

I got stalked by someone on POF......but I meant my current BF on Match.com and swear to everyone I talk to he is the LOVE of my life and SOULmate!! Love that man to pieces. So there is success out there, but it takes time and a lot of searching :-) Good Luck!

I have friends who met their now husbands/wives on eHarmony and OKCupid. I guess the pay sites weed out a lot, but not all, of the creeps/bootycallers.

Omg. That's hysterical.



I'd be mortified.

KristysLosing

I met one awful loser online and my husband online. I have heard good things about EHarmony. There was a time when I wouldn't have considered it, but I don't think it's so bad.

Des92

My friends made me a POF account as a joke, because I had been single for so long! I forgot about it then checked it one day, and had pages and pages of creepy messages, and one interesting one. So i answered it and things went well, we're still together
In general I didn't like it much, but you just never know!

Why don't you want to meet them?

Me too

If you want to meet some "interesting people" use POF - you get what you pay for.

11yrs ago I met someone in an AOL chat room. We were together for 6.5yrs. Had problems so we split up, but remailed friends. After that, I met a few nice guys on POF. Nothing serious though. Ended up getting back together with my ex alittle over 2 yrs later and that was 2 yrs ago. And we are better than we were the first time. My brother met his wife online, my niece met her husband on POF. It's hit or miss sometimes. Good luck!

I search on Craigslist. Look under heading "Babysitting".

Give it a try. You never know.

I've done dating sites and all the men I met thought they were God's gift to women. I actually had a guy tell me I was too much work, cause I wouldn't give it up after r second date. You wouldn't mind I cooked him dinner, bought him a six pack of beer & we watched a movie at my home. First time i am a good girl look where it gets me, omg. I went out w/hmm approx 11 men, over a span of 2 yrs. All of which were too busy loving themselves, to pay attention to me. One date at a dance club, the guy who said he looked like Brad Pitt btw, left me at the bar after going to the bathroom. I gave up on dating sites, but best of luck to you babe.
