So he was obviously 5'3" or even 5'2", yet listed his height at 5'7".

Men say women lie about their age and weight. Women say men lie about their height. It's a viscious circle.
No reason to lie. You will see them in person anyway. It looks bad on the guy. I thought women lie about their weight?

I don't know what she was thinking, but based on my experiences, I don't trust those 5'7" listings any longer. Which is funny, as I'm so short, I never had to worry about a man's height....if they were shorter then me, they were still in elementary school

"they were still in elementary school " Thats hilarious, thanks for the laugh. One advantage of being a woman there is no such thing as too short!

I haven't regretted not messaging someone back, but I have regret putting certain people on the back burner for others.

I have agree with what others are said. You get so many messages, you really have to weed out the ones you know are completely not your type. What's the point in leading them on?

Sure, I regret it in a broad sense. I started dating after my divorce when I was 36. My first year of dating I was very superficial, if only because I had no experience in dating as a true grown up. At the time I had no idea that every year the number of messages would reduce a bit. I am quite sure that I rejected quite a few men for reasons I would not care about a few years later.

this is very true. a buddy of mine recently put himself on POF and he is as far as this heterosexual male is concerned very attractive and in great shape. a.) the amount of woman who contacted him first was staggering and b.) they were all way too eager to send him their cell numbers and some were also very eager to meet him that very night.

it was also amazing the number of girls / women who were willing to respond to his one liner if he did initiate the convo. there even a few whom for kicks and giggles he'd be up front and blunt about sex and the cell number couldn't have come at him faster. was simply amazing to me.
