olibrofiz you should be cautious.
I am more than anyone as I was stalked years ago...and the police were involved.
Hence is why if im not comfortable I don't give my number.
I don't tell them this info on the site, because its none of there business.
The way I look at it is if a man is genuine he will continue to talk until I feel happy, if not he isn't worth the bother anyway.

Thank you I am cautious - having in the past worked in admin for the police for a number of years I'm probably excessively so, lol. To such an extent that I never contemplated the idea of 'dating' until now that DD is 18

I've just watched this. Wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't for the fact that today I decided to give PoF another go. I'm glad I didn't cave and pay for a subscription to any site after watching the programme. It makes me so angry to think that businesses are happy to prey on people who have no idea what's really going on and who are genuinely looking for love.

I'm not overly optimistic about PoF, my last attempt on there ended in a total failure

I joined POF in Jan 2010 and a few days later messaged a genuine sounding guy. 3 and a half years later we're still together and engaged. It does work out sometimes. I think it's a lot about luck.

well so far ive been given 2 phone numbers.....havent used them!! just had a guy tell me he "wants me" pmsl, what am i sposed to say to that lol.

One of the guys who gave me his number has just asked me to meet him for a drink......now!!

Am now chatting to what seems to be a normal guy, we're talking footie, he seems to be the most normal of the lot but based on my experience so far im not holding out much hope. Ive had a couple glasses of wine so am finding it all very funny

Ive dated two people from POF, both total disasters. However, we can meet the same type of people offline, people are no more likely to be a serial killer offline than they are on there.

Keep at it folks. I'm still with a really great guy I met on POF nearly a year ago. Weed out the numpties and there are some absolute gems in there.

Ive weeded out a few guys over the past couple of weeks. I joined POF before and gave up. This time ive been on there for 2 weeks. Ive had 3 coffee meets.
1) Too pervy and invaded my space by leering down my dress very obviously and making suggestive and pervy comments. Also was bigger than he said..
2) Definitely a player. Couldn't even remember the texts he had sent and was more interested in getting me to meet him after 11pm!! Wants more than one woman and my gut instinct said he was messaging a few and taking his pick. Definitely a no, daytime or no time..
3) Too posh and ruined the whole night by asking me what undies I had had on through the date. Nothing in common either. But must say he didn't try anything on and the drinks (Coke for me as I always drive to meet them) he paid for.
Its seems those three were just up for fun..
Ive got another meet Saturday, this one seems ok. Ive checked his FB page incase hes not what he says, but he is and hes talking normally lol. No suggestive comments, no pervy pictures and seems to be more adult and looking for a genuine woman.
