to think that Plenty of Fish is not the place to go looking for a long term relationship

Let me pre empt this by saying that I know there will be odd exceptions where people have found long term significant others and had happy relationships through POF.

However, as we move into our 30s and embrace Internet dating, several of my friends, intelligent women who I know are not just after sex, are using POF. Which would be fine if I didn't then have a weekly stream of unhappy texts about horrendous guys they met up with who just wanted sex. When I query the decision to use this particular website, and ask whether it may be better to use one where the name doesn't imply shagging as many people as possible, they reject that as the reason why they aren't meeting 'the one'.

I've lost all sympathy and just can't put up with their moaning any longer! Ahhh!

Hi Trills
I was trying to say that I’m in no danger of winning a Robert Redford lookalike contest. It’s called self deprecation, I do it all the time.

I've obviously missed something on pof. I have a profile - was sent a message, replied but now I cant see his reply unless I pay. I thought it was free? I paid previously for telegraph dating and saw very few profiles
