I had no problem with him being an electrician. I had a problem with him not being able to spell the word "electrician" coupled with the other things I highlighted.

You should update your profile to say that you get really angry when people who you deem below you are interested in you.
I agree with some of the posts here. That guy does bring something to the table. You just feel that he's below you in some way.

I would call you high maintenance, and I have a college education, have no kids, and make good choices. Well, not with women up to his point at least.

So your upset because he has a child & only went to H.S? I'd be more worried if he was a good dad or not. So the recovery thing scares you, big deal it sounds like he's being honest. Whats wrong with that? We ALL mess up from time to with grammer, I KNOW I do. Does that make me a bad person?

I mean, I have been bombarded by guys from all walks of life when I was online dating, never once did I lose my cool.

Ignore them, I know you can.
Exactly, this is the way to handle it, not going on the internet ranting.

I don't feel that he's "below" me, I just feel that he would not make a good romantic partner for me.

I'd be sending them all day considering the amount of these messages that i get.


I kept it anonymous. What's the problem?
The problem is that you are being completely shrewish and bratty in posting the contents of a man's profile when he has done nothing wrong to you. The only profile you should have a right to post is yours. Given that apparently you are perfect, please share with the class so that men everywhere can learn what an accomplished, wonderful, beautiful woman they'd be getting, one so utterly magnificent that only a Nobel Laureate whose condom never broke would be worthy. Show us, please, so that men can bow and scrape before you before they fling themselves off a cliff at the realization that they could never have you, Almighty Princess of All She Surveys.

Have you met him? Talked to him? Sort of judgemental of you to assume that you & him won't hit it off.

I am sorry. I know it is in poor taste to do the grammar, typing, spelling nazi thing. But this one just cracked me up. Fillet of sole, mate? Sole for two?

I don't know if it's just my city (I'm on the East Coast), but there seems to be a very large number of undesirable, bottom of the barrel type men on that site, and they keep sending me messages! The main things I notice on dating profiles are:

1. Photos
2. Age
3. Education
4. Does he have kids?

All four of these things have to be acceptable otherwise I am not interested. I'm routinely contacted by men who didn't go to college AND they have kids. Either of those things alone wouldn't be ideal, but put them together and it's much worse. I just don't understand why these guys think I'd even be interested in them considering that I'm a college educated professional woman with no children. I'm attractive and in shape and definitely not desperate enough to date them. They have absolutely nothing to offer me and I really wish they would stop wasting my time with their stupid, grammatically incorrect messages! Seriously, I just can't deal with it. I know that POF is the most popular free site and occasionally, I'll be contacted by a decent guy which is why I'm reluctant to leave the site altogether, but the majority of these men truly make me sick. I understand that not everyone is intelligent/fortunate/responsible enough to get a college degree or to not have kids out of wedlock, but they need to just focus on women on their own level and leave me alone. It's really ticking me off that I have to immediately block like 98% of the men who contact me on that site. I'd write this up in my profile, but I know I would just sound bitter and end up turning off the men who I do want, and these idiots who I don't want would still keep contacting me anyway.

Sorry if this offends anyone, but I'm fed up and this is how I feel. Has anyone else experienced this issue with POF? I know the site automatically allows you to block messages from certain users based on age, distance, etc., but I would really love it if they added filters for education level and parental status as well.
My uncle didn't go to college, is a millionaire and probably more successful than you will ever hope to be.
