so in the last two weeks, I have been messaged 4 times from guys saying they are "doms" and want me as a submissive .... Is this like a new pick up line since 50 shades of Grey came out? .... and yes I said no to all of them. :tongue:

    How very dominant of them to approach a stranger via the anonymity and relative safety of the Internet. I can imagine what sort of wussy-nerd-spanking they might have delivered.

    Well, I'm sure it's at least a more interesting first email than, "Hi"?! Wow, haven't gotten that one... there is always SOME new angle for creepy people to try!

    Are you wearing the scarf in your profile pics?! Maybe that's getting them turned on, hahaha!!:laugh:

    POF - Plenty of Freaks?

    Most DEFINITELY :) My first night on POF included an offer for a late night rendezvous, a suggestion that my beautiful lips must mean I'm an amazing kisser, and a proposition from someone almost half my age. Eh, it's free entertainment outside of the time commitment, and HOPEFULLY, all it takes is one decent guy, though you'll need to clean the muck off him when you weed through the rest of them, haha...

    I have horror stories about men I "met" on POF. I'd rather be single the rest of my life then go through that again. But I guess with that site, you get what you (don't) pay for. I've honestly given up online dating. People tell me all the time how much luck they've had with it, but I've tried all of them numerous times with no success.

    POF - Plenty of Freaks?
    I'd agree with that!! I've just re-joined POF, at the moment and I'm being bombarded by babies - I kid you not!! 19, 20 and 21 year olds!! A few years younger than me I can deal with, absolute youngest is the same age as my youngest sister (7 year age difference and she turned 32 this year) any younger and I'd feel like I was cradle snatching!!

    I have a few friends who've met their significant others through POF and they're good solid long standing relationships, so there are some good ones to be had, or so I keep telling myself!!

    But as NCTravllingG put it:
    HOPEFULLY, all it takes is one decent guy, though you'll need to clean the muck off him when you weed through the rest of them, haha...

    Lol I think since 50 shades more are coming out ..I just got favorited by a guy into "skinny dipping and BDSM" last night...I think the only reason he couldn't write me was because of his drug use status...set as "often" oh yippi my prince charming lmao.

    I did have a few as if I would be a dom years ago when I was on POF..no thanks.

    Oh the joys of free internet dating sites.

    That's because most of us don't walk around trying to think like a creepy person. I won't say what that may mean about me for coming to that possible answer so quickly :laugh:

    LOL am I the only one that hasn't met creepers on POF?

    I love POF! I've gotten annoying messages (you're hot or what's up) but nothing scandalous.

    Or maybe there's something wrong with ME.

    I haven't either. I usually get either a hi or a nice message. My issue is on my end and just being horrible at responding. I have hidden my profile because of that. I don't want these guys I would want to talk to messaging me and then me not messaging them back for 3 days or more.

    Uuugghh, POF. I just deleted my profile a few weeks ago...too many weirdos and not enough genuine men. I hope you have better luck than I did.

    Me as well. I haven't had any creepers contacting me looking for sex. Just men who are completely incompatible with me fishing around or annoying, but they're not creepers.

    D'oh! We could have had a lot of fun with Anna with that phrase, especially in that context... I would have responded, "Covering yourself very tightly from head to toe in duct tape and getting lowered into a vat of warm honey."

    If you are going to use a online dating site I would stay away from the free ones......you get what you pay for and free always attracks the trash. I met my current girlfriend on match.com; not saying it is the best but at least those not willing to pay cannot communicate. My feelings are if you are truly looking to meet someone you are willing to put out a few dollars. Just my .02 :-)

    Depends on the size of your dating pool
    In my city (about 300,000) all of the same people who are online dating are on all of the websites. So why would I pay money on Match when the same person is on match, lava and pof. Why not just use the free site? I would change my strategy if I lived in Montreal or Toronto, or Boston/ NYC. But for me I'm not wasting the money.

    This is sound logic, but doesn't always play out in the real world like that. Some of the same riff raff is on Match as POF and OkCupid.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You could have!!! I'm kind of disappointed!! I know that skinny dipping is swimming naked, but I thought there was maybe a more perverse meaning to do with BDSM :noway:

    I dont consider swimming naked perverse at all, so wasnt quite sure why the two were mentioned together. :smokin:

    The only way I could connect it is in America nudity is not as accepted as it is in Europe so skinny dipping is more risque especially if done in public. If done on public then it would be like exhibitionism which can be a fetish just like BDSM.

    I signed up for match and you are right it's the same people as the free sites... I've had lots of creepers and babies. You take the good with the bad

    I had that philosophy when I started with online dating. I have had much more luck going on free sites for short periods (a couple weeks a few times) that I had with two 6 month subscriptions with eHarmony. What a waste of money! I haven't tried match, but my experience with eH makes me think it's really not worth paying for. I think there are so many people using online dating who are too frustrated with it to waste more money on subscriptions and there are some decent people in the pool still! I especially like how OKC is set up, but I have found a pretty good guy on POF I'm seeing again on Saturday.
