    And why, when I've messaged my 'ideal match' is he not interested

    just because he's your ideal match it doesn't mean that you are his, we aren't all lying, cheating, low down scumbags on POF although I've got to admit I'm not having a lot of luck on there either :(
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    haha, yes, true :D And, as in all areas of life, there are the genuine ones, and the scumbags, it's not confined to PoF !! Likewise the golddiggers, of which I've heard stories from guys on PoF.

    Your profile looks fine southcoastrgi

    Oh no,

    I've just joined plenty of fish. Your comments don't fill me with much confidence. I've sent out a few messages but got no reply.

  • Hi, im on POF too. For all you ladies out there are you getting the same sort of messages. Kinda like de ja vu.
    What I mean is I message a guy, we get on and everything seems cool.. then we exchange numbers.
    Then the sex chat starts.... This has now really really peed me off and I have given one guy the benefit of the doubt and met him (after teling him I don't reply to those sort of messages and wouldn't, but if he seriously would like a proper chat then that's ok), but he was back on the site within the same night... im guessing he wasn't going to get what he wanted off me.
    Further along, I message another guy the same routine except this guy didn't send me usual dirty pics or dirty messages... so I though ok he seems cool and we met.
    Only then afterwards when I got home he asked me what undies I had had on through the date.
    WTH is going on with these men. They all put they want to be in a relationship... do they know how to? Do they think decent women want sex chats, nude pics and perverted questions...
    Ive all but given up now.. It cant be a co incidence as 80% of the messages im getting are all like this......the other 20% are wishy washy with one line replies.....
  • ImDoingItForMe, I got that the last time I was on there :(

    Have just signed up again today, thought i'd retry, and have been chatting with a guy already.

    Then the most hilarious thing happened, went into the search function and searched in my local area and found...............my brother!!!! It was his best mate in the pic i noticed first lol, cos I had a fling with him ages ago and know that he recently got engaged so was thinking !!!!!!! then realised it was my brother and had to laugh!!!

    Im not holding out hopes of meeting anyone on there thats serious, the 2 i met last time, first was ott and had only just split with his longterm gf so I think I was a rebound/someone to make her jealous (if so it worked cos last I saw of him on fb he was back with her) and the other was nice and I liked him but he went down the sex texts route after exchanging numbers and meeting up :(

    Hi, Zoesmummy_2006. Its a nightmare isn't it. I met a really really great guy on the site a while ago... but is wasn't to be due to his recent issues. Hes the only one I met that was decent.
    Im finding this time round, they want my number far too quickly and are not prepared to chat for a while. Im reluctant to give it out due to what I seem to get. Then the men get the hump when I wont exchange numbers......
    Im talking to a few, simply because ive done the one to one and ive wasted time carrying on and meeting them only to find there messaging loads of women anyway. The majority don't want to get to know you slowly. When I met both these guys I said I want to date... you know date!!!!... and I want to get to know you slowly.
    So far ive been knocked back because of this..
    Whats happenend to old fashioned coffee meets, lunch dates, meal out etc. All they want to do is fast forward you into the bedroom, then after a few weeks get rid and move on...
    One gave me his address and told me to google it so I could come and meet him at his. Is he crazy??? or don't these men think?
    The other one sent me a pic of his privates.. when Ide already said if you do that I wont be interested.. Don't they listen?
    Third guy I was really enjoying the chat and date.. Its a damn shame he asked me what I had on underneath my dress...
    I thought it was me at first as I have known women met decent men on there...But surely it cant be?
    Edited just to say as im writing here a guy Ive been chatting to on and off (as we havnt had much chat keeps pushing for my number. Ive already told him ive only been on the site 2 weeks and I wont until I feel comfortable..
    His got the hump now.........

    I'll stay on there for a bit I think. chatting to a few guys who seem friendly enough - one who told me he was closing his account and here's his number, nice of him, but I said thanks but no (he does seem to have closed his account).

    I think what makes me extremely cautious is that, no matter the content, I know it's silly of me, they could be a serial killer. I;m really not cut out for this internet dating malarkey am I :rotfl:

    And southcoastrgi, yes, I looked at your profile name, and a few others, which were posted earlier in the thread. I'm a couple of years older than you, but I look like I could be your grandma :D
