Pof??

Have you ever come across a profile that says "yes" to the drugs question!?   Lol I just find it funny (also do you have a car?" 

I mean would someone really admit it if they were ?  Lol

thats all 

[Deleted]

The car thing has come up here before.  It really depends on where you live.  People that live in big cities (like NYC) sometimes just don't have a need for a car.  For me, no car was a dealbreaker.  
The drugs thing....idk if anyone is honest if they are users.  My guess??  Probably not.

Yeah I tried PoF, it was an unqualified disaster...I never received so many one sentence messages.

I would send out a few paragraphs and get a couple words back, I understand if you're not interested... Just say so or don't reply at all. The absolute worst are the gals that would message me first, with "hi you're cute", or "your profile is great". Sometimes I really wonder about people, it's like the art of dating is dying, a slow and painful death!

I've never been on POF but I know on OKC some people are pretty open about being pot smokers. But then again it's really NBD here at all.

maybe if they lived in Colorado or Washington! lol!

Pof has lots of weirdos, and I've been asked more than once if I would take money for sex but I've got a nice group if fellas I'm juggling at the moment

There are weirdos on all sites..and in real life.  I met my bf on POF

I haven't ventured there yet. The 70 year-olds liking my picture on match has put me off online dating for a while.

You know, one guy on okcupid liked me and I liked him too, and we had decent conversations online...and then I decided to skim over his answers again and he was pretty open about loving cocaine. I appreciated his honesty, but...no.

I had shitty luck on match too.  It's ok to take a break!

I know lots of people who smoke weed recreationally. I don't feel like it's weird if someone admits to it; many of those people want to be with someone who also enjoys recreational marijuana. Nothing wrong with being up front about it.

I lasted about 30 minutes on POF, apparently a full set of teeth was a rare occurrence around here on that one. I guess I'd rather people be honest about it though, mostly so I could next them, but that's just a personal choice.

There really are women out there who will write more than just a short one sentence message.  Unfortunately when we do write something longer that actually indicates that we have read a guys profile we either a.) get no response or b.) get a generic "thanks but no thanks...we have nothing in common" message back. 

BTW- welcome

Right? I think I do better in person. I can't write a profile for shit and don't have a lot of good pictures of me. So I get guys the same age as my Dad and Guy Fieri wannabes.

I feel your pain, I have the market cornered on older ladies too! I'm not looking for a 20ish year old, but maybe be at least within 5 years of me. I like dating older women, but there is a limit!

Hey. I resemble that remark. I generally have a range about 8 years younger and 2-3 older. But I've dated men your age, and I'm no cougar! Lol.

Oh come on, a woman would have to be well into her 60's to land in the 'cougar' range with me! Isn't a proper cougar spread supposed to be almost 20 years difference?

My search range is 35-45, I've dated a few ladies that were a little older 46-48 and have had a great time! The catch being older women generally have older children, if they have any at home at all. The idea of dating a man with younger kids I think kills the deal...not that I'm looking for a mommy replacement or anything like that but they are a reality that must be dealt with.

I probably saw more weirdos on POF than match, but I met my BF on POF and he's not a weirdo, just a PhD student who is money conscious and didn't want to pay for a site I also went on another perfectly nice date with a guy from POF.

I guess if I did drugs and wanted someone to do them with, I'd be happy that there is the option to check "yes" on that one? lol.

Yes, the young kids would make me hesitate a bit at my age. (49) But a bigger deal breaker to me these days is a man who has made it into his 40s and never been married. I've dated a few of those, and had zero success.
ETA: I rarely contact men who are more than 3-4 years younger, but get contacted by younger. And then I roll my eyes when their profile says "wants kids". Dude. I'm too old to have them, and my profile says I don't want them. Look past the pretty face and READ.

Don't even get me started on the never been married people, I agree with you though, the strangest people (women in my case) I've dated have never been married 40ish year olds! WOW

I've had some really crazy dates too... I should start another thread. Maybe it'll help solidify some things that we men look for when we're online dating, so you ladies can make a few tweaks to your profiles. I'd love to hear your ideas too!

I always read before I even look at the pictures, for this very reason...although even if we don't match I'll go back a check you out

I mean I wouldn't be a proper single man if I didn't check women out!
