    The person who invented beer. The person who invented wine.

    Oh, can I blame Obama? My weight gain started in 2009, which is when he took office. Clearly, it's his fault. Or Bush's for leaving? I'll blame them both.

    Plenty of Fish. I went on a date with a guy from that site who dropped me during a dance move on our date last March 2013. Tore my ACL, MCL, Meniscus and I had impaction fractures as well. I was just beginning to regain my strength and endurance from my hysterectomy and was working hard on losing the 8lbs I gained during that time I was not allowed to exercise when the accident happened. Did he say sorry? Nope, but he told me I was awesome though. Thank you POF for my additional 20lbs.

    Nope. We dated for three months just prior to the accident. I dumped him when I got this response. A "so sorry to hear, babe" is NOT the same as "Babe, I am so sorry. What can I do to help you?" Immediately after the accident he found himself too busy at work to check and see if I was doing OK or if I needed anything. He felt responsible to entertain the girls he worked with at dinner since he was the new guy and didn't want to get fired, LMAO.

    My friend just got married a couple of weeks ago to a guy she met on POF. I know it works for some but I can't afford to have any more broken limbs, lol.

    Oh Tim Horton, you were a great hockey player, but why oh why did you have to make such tasty treats?

    I realize that not all of them drop women but no reason for me to take chances, ;) Do you think he paid my medical bills? Nope. I can think of a super nice vacation that I could take with the 5K I spent on medical bills. To this day...the most expensive date I ever went on in my entire life but I have to admit that at the time I was having a ton of fun.

    I blame Hot Cheetos, cheese, and chips. And if I hadn't been a full-time(online) student/ stay at home mom for three years I could have had time. And pasta!! And eating out for being addictive... and In N Out for their delicious burgers and Animal fries! Hot dogs.

    And now I want all of them!! LOL

    :\

    Nobody puts a gun to your head to stuff your face. How can you blame anyone else for it? You and you alone make the daily eats choices and if you are lead by others, still your fault for not being strong minded.

    I blame the inventors of flavored vodka... and pizza hut. But I particularly blame my mother and father for having the sexy time that caused my birth. Now I just drink unflavored vodka. I'm still waiting on them to invent low cal, low carb pizza that doesn't suck.

    I have friends who put crystal light or Mio in their unflavored vodka.
