Quite honestly, I'd rather go troll for someone in a bar, someone that I can see and talk to, rather than take chances with the stanky people that would reply to a quickie 5 minute profile, if nothing more than sex was on my mind. Frankly, I find the idea just plain repulsive.
I'm sure Channing Tatum's clone is waiting for you at some meat market pick-up bar while I'm settling for "skanks" I meet online.
Was on PoF for about a year, and nothing worked out to point of even considering meeting-plus, I found the interface clunky, not user-friendly, "seamier" (sleazier) than OkC.
So I deleted from PoF & stayed on OkC, which I find much more bearable a site to deal with.
In the four years since, have met four guys total from OkC-but, thus far, those haven't been connections with mutual interest/attraction.
I recognize that I'm in a sparsely-populated region (and happily settled here) & am "atypical" in a number of ways, which makes finding a good match especially "challenging" (to put it charitably ).
What requires less effort than a dating site, especially one like POF? I can set up a profile in five minutes, then within an hour have tail lined up for that night at my house. All without leaving the living room.
You know a method that requires less effort than that? I'll be all over it. The only one I know of is to utilize existing booty calls... but I'm talking about meeting someone brand new.
He sounds like such a pig. I'm glad I'm not the only one here who finds him repulsive. WPB is neighbors with the AIDs capital of the U.S (Ft. Lauderdale), so I can only imagine what type of diseases your tail is toting around.

Seriously. Online is a good way for unattractive men to sell themselves as being attractive. I met three guys from online, and all three of them were way shorter and skinnier than any of their pictures revealed online. If you're an attractive person you can walk into any bar and leave 30 minutes later with another attractive person, you don't have to troll online all day.
The fact that I break down the numbers on responses, phone numbers, etc., to determine if this method of dating is worth my time offends you? I'm a licensed CPA, I break everything down into numbers. It's just the way my mind works. I would say I'm sorry you're offended, but I'm really not.
As someone in the process of becoming a CPA, I'm embarrassed that this schmuc is a CPA. Stop slandering our profession by using it to justify your piggish ways.
The thing I would like to see on these online sites is more watch over communication. If someone is getting a lot of messages and not responding others should know. Maybe even have a comment section were you can post about a date you had with some(being moderated of course). It needs to be more then a picture.
I'll say it really depends on your age and loction. If you are in your early 20's, there aren't as many attractive, outgoing women on either site. As soon as you hit 25-26 though, there appear to be a lot more quality women with careers, personality, goals, etc.
I personally have found OKC be a better overall site. People seem to fill out their profile more, and the questions, although strange at times, do help to weed out some people (ie. I'm not religious, so if someone just puts "Christian" in their profile, I may not think twice about it and be OK. but if they answer some questions such as they are against gay rights etc, then I know we won't be compatible).
I've met a few girls on both websites, but nothing that's lasted longer than a few dates. I'm pretty good friends wth one girl, but strictly platonic.
I think both sites are great for people who aren't bar people or who's groups and activites that they are involved with aren't introducing them to people they wish to date. I know the clubs I'm involved with have very few girls in their 20's, so it's a great way to continue to meet people.
