Your experience of POF (aaarrrrgggghhhh)

[ginahhh]

I have been trying online dating and would like to know if POF is as bad for you as it is for me.
Constant rude messages and endless idiots, weirdos and worse.
For any men on here, a sexually graphic description of what you'd do to me is not flattering or appreciated! And stop with the shirtless undies photos.
Any funny suggestions for what POF should stand for will be appreciated :)

Sorry Pigletino but I know two stunningly attractive women who used POF and got no cock shots or rude messages. Your theory doesn't hold up. Like dating itself, it is all random, with no rhyme or reason as to who gets the crap.

Don't know why I looked at the website --ok I'm
Ovulating-- ... But I shan't be looking again. Urgh.

Not brave enough to look at POF yet. Hear depressing things about it.

Match.com seem to be advertised a lot at the mo. Has anyone paid up and got any advice?

Sorry to derail OP

Ahh PoF...! I was on it on and off for about four years. I got a LOT of people just after sex but at some points that was exactly what I was looking for so it was very nice thank you!
I did get my fingers burned a couple of times when I really liked a gentleman and they sort of strung me along for a few dates then did that charming 'disappearing' thing. I do think a lot of people (not just blokes) are on there just for a bit of fun and are not really looking for a relationship. I went on many many dates, good and bad, then I met DP almost two years ago and we now live together and are very happy.

So it's just a sort of microcosm of relationships generally, I think.

To clarify I met him on PoF, he only went on two other dates before he met me. So his experience was largely very positive.

My own personal experience was a lot of guys just interested in sex, which was hilarious when I received a video of a guy 'interfering' with himself ba ha ha ha! And there's a lot of liars Mr A said he was 5ft 10in, in reality I was pretty much eye level with him (I'm 5ft 3in and was wearing flats!) on the other hand it does work for some people my BF met her boyfriend on there and fast forward a year they're having a baby, have a house together and are blissfully happy....

Just spent half an hour looking at Uniform Dating.com

When they had the uniformed dating TV ads recently, my DH kept misreading so we now refer to it as un-informed dating (hyphen for emphasis). DH also thinks it is a backdoor way of finding someone with a public sector final salary pension scheme. As you can probably guess, he's not a sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic type, but I wouldn't change him for the world.
