It depends what you want MayBee, if you think you'd like to meet someone where a relationship may grow i can't see the point of not being honest

Thanks I think I might use something about it growing.

Hi Maybee,

I think it is really unfair to post a profile if you have no intention of ever meeting up with any of the people you chat with... .

It's not that I've no intention, I'm just not sure how I'll feel about it, I've still got to put something together, actually sign up and find people who are interested, that I want to message back and then get to possibly, thinking about meeting up.

I am a bit worried about weirdos, I don't want to put anything that might encourage them, but from some of the things I've read they don't need much encouragement!

Don't be... Otherwise you won't ever leave the house

Just be sensible and take everything with a pinch of salt. Delete anyone you don't like and move on. If they sound too good to be true, then they probably are.

Hi all

Just joined POF - not really done internet dating before and have a question.

If someone sends you a message and they're not suitable - live too far away or (sorry to sound brutal) you just don't fancy them - is it better to ignore the message or reply basically saying 'thanks but no thanks'

I appreciate someone has taken the time to send me a message (in the main, some messages have barely been coherent).

TIA

It is etiquette to ignore all messages from men.

Hope that helps.

Will keep my eye out for him, keep finding !!!!!! in tinfoil.

I took the plunge and signed up, kept my profile, brief and not particularly endearing until I find my feet. I still managed to get 5 or 6 messages, one guy wanted to meet me and was quite surprised 11pm was too late for me to invite a complete stranger to my house, not sure I'll have much luck if I'm going to be so picky...

Don't worry I was joking, he said we should meet, after messaging for about 5 minutes, I said thanks but it's a bit late, thinking I was being funny but he actually meant for us to meet last night :eek:

I told my friends at the start of this year that I would try match.com for six months, as Quidco were offering some £50 cashback on a £60 subscription. I had (and still have) an active and varied social life, decent job, own place, plenty of interests, everything really but I just wasn't meeting the right ladies (they either weren't interested or not right for me). I thought I'd try it and see what happens as it wasn't going to cost me the earth.

I wasn't going to put myself on POF as that generally attracts all the chancers and fraudsters with it being the most well known free dating site. At least with a site like match there will be more people actually looking for a return on their investment.

In the end I didn't need to, but at least if you give it a try you're giving yourself more chance of meeting someone than if you don't try at all.

I used to be on POF summer last year and found it very good. But I've since signed up again and I don't get any messages, just emails saying people want to meet me!

I've also signed up to Match.com and although they seem like genuine profiles, people seem a lot more picky on there.

Maybe it's just me
