Let the Games Begin (More Online Dating)
I registered with Plenty of Fish last night. Now that’s a different site. I don’t dislike it. Not yet. There are just SO many men registered there, I find it hard to believe there’s no one there for me. And in fact, I did a little browsing and favorited 3 guys (out of the several hundred I looked through, and the several hundred were just a small fraction of those that came up in my search). One of the 3 I favorited emailed me this morning and so we’re off to a good start.
But holy losers, batman. I’ve been bombarded by semi-literate, single-line emails by losers from all over the tri-state area. I’m astounded at just how many of them. But then, I’m fresh meat and they’ve probably already tried all 5 thousand other chicks in the area.

You can’t hate on them for trying though.
Oh gawed, POF is THE WORST. Never had a decent date come out of that one. Semi-literate is right. All of the guys I agreed to meet from POF were total flakes, rednecks, or otherwise losers.
For a free site I’ve found OKCupid is a bit better…
Part of me thinks that’s why all of the guys I met on Eharmony were a bit above average (to the point where I still hang out with some of them.) There are so many hoops and hurdles to get through on eharmony it weeds out the real morons.
Well, good luck anyway, PoF was tried by one of my girlfriends here and she found it “ok”
POF has been one of the free sites I tell people to check out. I know a few ladies that are on there and know their sincerity (I guess now I can say SG as well). This also tells me that there must be gents who are sincere as well. I have been a member there for a while and see that they also have get- togethers. Although I’m not there for dating, I believe that many are. Good luck SG!
-Alex Shalman,
Hmm. I think I can “hate on them” because I don’t think they’re really trying. Sending me a message that says, “i think your a hotty” With the I not capitalize and you’re spelled your is not trying. There is no thought or effort put into that. That takes 5 seconds of their time. If they were really trying would take a minute and write a couple of seconds in response to something I wrote in my profile. That’s trying. “i think your a hotty” is just taking pot shots all over the place hoping to hit something. And I guess there’s some woman, somewhere who is desperate enough for the attention that she’ll answer.

Well, since Friday night I’ve received about 30 messages and have replied to 2 of them. The rest were laughable. I was sad that there didn’t seem to be anyone one OKCupid for me as I did like the look and feel of the site. But I’m looking for someone over 40 and that just isn’t their demographic.
-Fabulously Broke,
Well, I’ll keep you posted. Right now I’d agree with your friend.
-bobbyjensen,
Oh gosh, you’re there. I wonder if we’ll bump into one another. That’s be funny!
lol SG, I probably would come up in one of your searches. Don’t forget to say hello
