You are their new boy toy. And it would be cool for them to parade you around their friends etc etc to get their validation about what a HOT guy you are. That's what it boils down to eventually I guess, no wonder most relationships these days(including marriage) last for less than 5 years.

I don't believe it.

So anyone that says that they are looking for a decent, honest, witty, charming man online don't really mean it, they are just trying to look for the next hot body to sleep around with. That's what the OP has been trying to prove.
He hasn't PROVED anything. I met my BF of 3 and a half years, via POF. So his hypothesis is silly. There will always be slime buckets that will respond...both male and female. But that doesn't mean that there are not plenty of honest sincere people on there. I was one, and so was my BF.

You have completely missed the point. His profile was entirely fake. The respondents profiles are probably equally as fake. The whole thing is a completely ridiculous and immature game. There is no merit in what he did. I wouldn't be so quick to be defending such a childish act.

I don't doubt that there are women who aren't like the ones that responded to him. However, if the vast majority of women are like how the OP described then there's very little chances of finding a true partner on websites like those. However, it happened in your case so not saying it ain't gonna happen, I just think the odds are less that's all.

What you said is a possibility but then would you think all the 20 people that responded to him are fake profiles? I highly doubt that but if it's true and if all those profiles are fake then it's the most ridiculous dating website in the universe. But I just feel the odds of that are low and that even if a few of the profiles that responded were fake they are only a minority. So I don't know, I am not trying to defend one or take sides, I just feel that the OP was able to prove his hypothesis that's all.

People are so lame.

Wow, you would think that person would've chosen a better soccer player.

Anyways, this thread is awesome.

Oh, I'm waiting for the input of two particular posters, before this thread is complete. The usual suspects arrived on the scene right on time.

There are a lot of hookers looking for new clients. POF is a FREE dating site, the ones send out naked pictures along with a phone number are perhaps "professionals" LOL

I wonder why they are so defensive unless they are trying to cover up something or shoot down the OP's hypothesis by acting that way.

But he is blaming me... he said all women are shallow.. in bold letters. I am a woman and I would never send nude pics, try to hook up, or do what these other women have done, etc, etc. So how exactly saying that he's wrong in saying all women are shallow because he picked up a few women on one online site that are make me hypocritical?

I don't have any objection to him saying women who respond to that kind of profile are shallow... I think they are too. But I do object to me, and the other 3.5 billion women in the world all being called shallow because he picked up about 20 women on an internet website known for hook-ups.
