    LOL I think the only conclusion is that you're sending pictures of your man bits with the initial e-mail :p:p

    Ok, another guess, assuming you've not just been snapped up by someone on or lurking on this thread.....:o

    I think maybe you should indicate your living situation because there's nothing on your profile about whether you're by yourself or not? So you might be with your parents or sixteen flatmates or something?

    Dunno how POF works but Match.com has a "lives alone" option and that's always the most appealing for me, because although I have NO intention of moving in with anyone - I love my flatmate and I'll be getting some digs of my own abroad - I do kind of expect a guy I'm dating to have some of his own space where we can share "private time", if you know what I mean? Not just the dirty kind of private time, but somewhere we can cook together or just hang out.

    A guy who doesn't have his own space (maybe one quiet flatmate or something like that is Ok :A) is always going to be back at mine. It just feels "wrong", like suddenly I'm having to play hostess all the time. I also think that it's quite attractive when a man lives by himself in that he's taken responsibility for his own place. Rightly or wrongly, people do make snap decisions online and if I read or think that a thirty something guy is still living with his parents or crashing with his best guy mate, it's like NEXT.

    Yes...the troll Has not taken time to read this thread and doesn't give a s**t about anyone.

    Barny1979 Your profile looks fine to me, infact you look younger than your age! Guys...just my opinion, but I wouldn't be so open showing POF or other dating website profiles?!

    I have read most of the thread, must have missed that bit! A more constructive conclusion to a night out with the POF group would have been more suitable ;) For example, do you live in this area in particular? Were you taking an example from an experience you had? No? Hearsay? Some people come here for real advice, if you ain't got any to give, then don't ;)

    Crikey those pof night out events have got to be a bit scary certainly for the woman ..I have heard there are 4 times more men on pof than women.. must be like walking into the lions den for a lady:eek:

    Fair enough :), just guessing at the kind of woman who you'd be going for, I wonder if you're not actually moving quickly enough? If a girl is replying then she's probably showing interest/thinks your profile is fine. So it's just up to you to sort of keep that interest and get meeting?

    I think most prettyish intelligent girls in their twenties/early thirties with no ties tend to get snapped up quite quickly - I scrub up Ok but not outstanding, cool job, financially good but still flatshare, and in less than a month I've had my fair share of weirdo contacts, but also a couple who are interesting enough to make me come off

    There are a lot of "sleaze bag men" on pof so im told .I have found most women chat to a few on there

    And yes women can be just as horny as men when they find the right guy went out with one lady for a while who told me many times on the first date she was going to "make me wait months for it" her words then on the second date proceeded to jump on me :rotfl:
    ok so I didnt put up too much of a struggle lol

    I have read through them myself to try and find out, but haven't read anything about events in my particular area. Thanks for the general info anyway :)

    See you removed the 'rape' suggestion (between 'jump on me...me':rotfl: ) :cool: Oh how I laughed at a woman/man (can't make up their mind troll) not. You are just as bad.
