^^^ Thanks Stepka, question mainly for the woman on or have used POF. Of the men you have corresponded or dated off POF, where you on their "viewed me" list or did they just come out of nowhere?

Because if a date says "I'm not looking for something serious" I just assume it means "I'm just not that into you." I don't think it means "If I were really serious I'd be looking on eHarmony.

I don't think i've met a slew of men on OK Cupid who aren't seriously looking for a relationship. It think I've met a slew of men who were not the guy I was looking for.
Every relationship I've been in since my first marriage ended started on OKC. It's where I met my current husband. I met a few great guys on PoF... a few out of quite a few dozen. OKC was by far the best site in my experience.

Met my GF of 2 years now on it.

Worked well for us!

The women seem pretty decent on POF in my area. Most of them my age talk about their grandkids right off the bat in their profiles, seems honorable enough. Many make it a point hookups and FWB are not desired. Many are quite attractive also so it only makes sense a fair amount of decent attractive men will be on there as well.

I can't find the post you quoted so I'll quote yours, but my answer to 14bricks' question is that I was new to my city and don't know a lot of people. Now that I am meeting more people, I have no further use for the site.

I came, I saw, I quit, lol
Never again.....
I was basically forced into trying it- did it for 3 weeks.
I've seen & heard more than I wanted to.
Thanks but no thanks.....

A good amount of them must be. I notice many women will have in their profile, "trying this again", "taking another shot at this". To me it indicates they went out and the date was horrific.

Then there's "Don't contact me if you want a booty call, fwb, ons, or hookup". so they must get a lot of it.

I'd love to know the success rate of the dudes who send pictures of their junk to every woman in their zipcode.

Haha

I feel like they're just rude or send those pics to troll dating sites for laughs. People can't be that stupid.

I deleted my profile today. The flakes are getting old. I do better in real life situations anymore, just gotta force myself to get out more!

What a coincidence, as that describes the females on there too!
