It seriously is though. None of the myriad of dating sites I've been on (around 13 I think in total) have literally made me sick with contempt as POF does.
Avoid like airborne cancer.

I do this every 3 months or so.
If you haven't yet gone onto plentyofnarcissists sorry I mean plentyoffish then for God's sake DON'T.
I will save you the grief right now by advising you to smash a cricket bat repeatedly against your cranium instead. Because in a weird, (not really) metaphysical sense, that is exactly what you might as well be doing.
Course, who am I to say? Just because it NEVER worked out for me in the 5 oh so years that I've been on there (I can count all of THREE count 'em THREE messages I've received and about 3 replies back). I got one woman to actually want to meet me on a date and we'd talked for weeks up to it so I thought that we'd get along just fine in person. We did at least it seemed that way in the pub then I came back from the bar with our drinks to just catch her getting in a cab outside. I then got a text message an hour later with her telling me how much she basically wasn't interested and she wasn't sure why she bothered in the first place.
Yet someone I know (a female someone) was on there 2 months and met the man of her dreams who she is still with now years later. Then again AND I'M SORRY TO SAY THIS LADIES......women don't exactly get the same problem with just nobody contacting them. Certainly not anywhere NEAR the same ratio as the other way around. Same goes for being chatted up. There's still this age old stereotype that for men, it's just clearly a case of opening our mouths and voila - we get what we want, be it women, jobs, money or otherwise. Oh sure if you happen to be Colin Farrell or EXTREMELY lucky but how many of us does that apply too?
And ********* I specifically said at my first post that I WASN'T going to get onto the subject of dating sites grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I hate to say I agree, it's much easier for women to be contacted than men. I've never used a dating site nor would I, but I imagine I'd have no problem. I kinda feel bad for guys, us girls expecting y'all to do all the chasing, although I've chased before. As for that woman, I'd have text her back something not so nice. Have you not tried any other sites?
Hello Hoffy; I just left a comment on your picture earlier on in "Let's see the faces". I am not surprised you don't use or feel the need to use a dating site as clearly you are very attractive and I would be somewhat shocked if you told me you had any trouble attracting a guy (assuming you're single). And thanks for the sympathy so to speak; it's not that I as a guy 'mind' the chasing, it's just that the odds seem so ridiculously stacked against the majority of us. Certainly for me it has my entire bloody life. Same story over and over.
As for that harridan that sent me the text, I can't remember what I sent back by way of reply. I do remember wanting to throw my mobile in the bin on my inevitably drunk and dejected walk home (and it started raining too).
And yeah as I just mentioned in another reply, I have been on about 13 approx. Only one that proved to be any much cop was some free dating UK one where I met my last g/f last year in March. Ok, so it lasted 3 months if that, but still, I don't regret it. Especially when it's usually an average cycle of about 10 years in between having a relationship.
Thanks for the comment and nope not single, I snagged me a Brit right off ALL
Have you tried meeting people locally? Like neighbors or have you thought of community work or charity work? Always nice gals involved in that kinda stuff.
