You. Although, the statement she quoted by you makes you sound like an ass so you really targeted yourself. Read it a couple of times and maybe it will dawn on you.

I've had the unfortunate experience of reading some of your post, and you sound like many things much worse than an ass.

The only reason I sound like an ass to you is because what I say may upset you, sorry, sounds like someones a little too defensive and can't handle the truth.

I will answer. Since I am ALWAYS online when I was active serial dater for 2-3 yrs. Coz most of my meets are 1 time only meets. I also don't msg guys I wait for them to msg me. I became addicted. Like a hard habit to break kinda. I also don't log out so like you said it automatically logs you off. So I've to log in several times in a day, LOL. Dunno why you've to stalk every girl that doesn't reply to you though. Not healthy.

POF literally means plenty of fish out there why so serious? err upset. I had my share of rejections too and I just shrug it off. Nothing you can really do if people chose to ignore you. THEY'RE NOT JUST INTO YOU. I think analyzing why is just a waste of time as opposed to KEEP ON FISHING til you get THE CATCH whose feelings for you is mutual! For me that's the ONLY way to forgo a relationship - it's MUTUAL!

Fortunately I met my husband on POF so I am off for good. Thank God.

Are you kidding? Sorry, but you're the one spending your days on dating sites looking for love (or whatever needs you have) tracking the going-ons of women who reject you. There's good reason for that and you're exactly where you should be.

Well, obviously he's in the same boat, so who knows why he has an issue with it.

Just out of curiosity, how do you explain your habit of tracking people, online, day after day, month after month?

"They spend countless days and month after month searching for someone that only exits in their imagination? It seems like these women are stuck in fantasy mode."
-- (As if men are not?) Gee, I have never, ever, (sarcasm) met a man that could be described that way. I have noticed not a few men's looks going South, too. Especially in my region! If their lifestyles and smoking, drinking, and poor diet don't kill them, they sure do look used-up and worn out by age 50 at the latest.

As for the same people who keep looking, I'll tell you why that happens in little run-down Rust Belt towns like mine: If you don't look, you will never find. It's work. The dating pool is very small, and very, very stagnant. These towns here are rural, small, aged, and have a declining and downwardly-mobile population. There is no influx of people for jobs or anything else. The singles here already know each other, most likely have known each other for years, and they are not interested in each other, but they are looking for new faces. And about the only way a new one happens to hit the scene is if someone becomes a widow or widower. Seriously. Decent small town peeps marry young, spend all of their lives raising generations of children, and don't divorce. Those with money problem or drug and alcohol problems or are not successful at remaining monogamous, or who just married for either sex or a meal ticket do divorce, because they are bad at relationships, but they are not worth anyone's time to date.

I don't try to date here (here, in these dead-end towns of poverty and despair), because there is nobody here for me to date, and I have nothing in common with the singles here, either. There used to be a core group of women who organized POF parties on a regular basis. It's been, like, 4 years since I even looked in on that scene, but the last party was July or August, and the organizer said over 94 people said they'd be there, and only 35 showed up. That's the kind of weird people we've got here. Useless.

Exactly! I practiced a lot of "letting go" techniques, and got to a stage where I could just have faith that the right person would come along when he was supposed to, and if a guy rejected me it just meant he was not the one who I was meant to be with, but I was now one closer to the right one. When I was able to adopt that outlook and really believe it, that is when I met my honey.

Some are prostitutes or the law, trying to catch the johns, would be another good guess. Just sayin', things are not always as they seem. When I was on POF, I had some contacts from oddballs who were either hopeless perverts or cops fishing for prostitutes, lol. What I noticed was that their profiles would disappear, or the photo would be changed to a totally different man's picture in some short period of time.

It may be your truth, but it's not a universal truth.

I just get sick of the double standard where men can go out and do basically whatever they want but women get shamed if they so much as kiss on the first date. Of course, if they don't then they're considered prudes.

It's lose-lose.
