I am not sure men on here are seriously searching for what they say the are. A man states he wants an honest, good hearted woman but can't handle one when he meets her. I think men are so used to getting hurt that they cant get past it. I am completely honest in who I am yet men seem surprised that I am just that. It's like you read my profile and fill in the blanks with what you think I am lying about...That's crazy. Do you really want someone you can keep? It's been my experience you don't. If so, where are you?
Better question yet is this. Is this site trying to play men and women to keep them active? Are there people that help to control the site that can control the profiles of regular people to keep us coming back to POF? Seriously. I sent a message last night to someone that send a message to me. I got an email saying I got a new message and there is none. And even the profile name that it is about is no longer on POF. So is it POF or someone messing with me?
I agree with that statement as there are a lot of people who like the impersonal aspect of an internet dating site...get some comments, and compliments and such and that may be all that they need and want from a site...i believe the truly interested are in the minority.

'Dating' sites need to be paid for, just like every other business. On pay sites, it's your subscription money and the ads, on free sites, it's just the ads. More subscribers = more advertisers = more $'s. There are easily 10 times more men than women on every 'dating' site ever made (except perhaps lesbian), so having a bunch of female profiles with VERY pretty pictures is good for business. How real these profiles are is another matter altogether. Which ties nicely into the OT. Men go online to look for a new Ferrari - there are many of them advertised - only to find there's nothing but broken Hyundais and dump trucks.

That person was most likely a scammer and her profile got deleted before you could reply, most likely because of of complaints to the mods.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack,,. People do sometimes get lucky though and that's what keeps me going. I know how picky I am so why wouldn't others be? As the song goes "We might be fighting a losing battle but we're having a lot of fun trying to win".

I agree with what you say however there are many women on this site doing the same thing, been on several wild goose chases myself.

Yes, that is really true, I don't know why there are many liars out there who state on their profile that they want a serious relationship and write to me asking me to Skype or msn and when I chat with them with them the first days they seem like they are really interested in me, then after few days, sometimes it happens the next day they start ignoring me or making excuses to stop contact, and I see them here connected searching other women. If you don't like a woman at the first time please be sincere and don't promise anything you are not going to do.
I can't speak for others on this site but as for myself yes I'm seriously looking at all times for the right one to come along. Whether it be on this site or out and about in the city. I keep my eyes peeled and my ear to the ground. You never know when destiny will open a door and the right one will step through. Do I think it will come about through this site? Who knows, stranger things have happened. I keep an open mind.

hmmmm... I am one seriously looking for a long term relationship and have dated a few women recently. But, sometimes things just don't work out after awhile. We won't know these things unless we try, spend some time together, do things, explore the relationship, take the time and make the effort to know each other, grow together. Just because it doesn't work out means it is a bad thing. Do you really expect to know someone whole heartedly from a picture or a few words in a profile? I believe everyone is sincerely looking for thier dream come true.

It is nice to make them fall in "love" and later "dump" them.
