Any thoughts? I know it's free but, I would still like to hear some of your successful (or not so successful :giggle:) experiences.
:popcorn:


Sorry if this has already been posted....
 
I was on there for a while but realized it really didn't have my demographic. I wanted someone without children and it seemed to be an overabundance of single fathers on there.

They were nice, but it wasn't for me. I did however meet a really great guy on there. He was a fine specimen of a man. Face of a model, body ripped,single educated,etc. We weren't on the same page though.

I say try it. It's free and you can block who can message you. FYI-I date other races so my suitors were a wide mix. I met the current guy I'm dating on okcupid.
 
I used it for a while, met a few guys. No love-connection but I'm still friends with 2 of the guys I met on there.

Thanks for mentioning okcupid....never heard of it before. I'll probably end up creating a profile there as well.
 
Hi,
As one who has done both Eharmony (twice) and pof, pof in my opinion is much better. It's free for one. Also with pof you have control over who you interact with from the beginning, you don't to rely on someone else to match for you. You also get to interact with local guys. I didn't realize there were so many local guys in my town looking (you'd never know that with Eharmony)! Having said that when doing pof you still have to be specific, for example if you're looking to date causally then state that up front, on the otherhand if you're looking for a long term relationship and you don't want people who are only looking to hangout or causally date to contact you then state that too. This way you and your potential contacts know where each is coming from at the beginning. Having said that, of course there are jerks on the site;they're everywhere, but there's also a lot of good guys there who are really looking for relationships. I think that no matter what site(s) you end up using, it all comes down to the written profile, if you read them carefully you'll be able to get some intial insight into these guys and they you. Uploading a photo is a must. I think this is reasonable; just like we want to have a visual, so do they. I am currently communicating with a man that I met on pof (after only having been on the site for 2 weeks) that's very promising.
good luck and keep us posted,
 
It was a bust for me. Lots of single father's and they have the nerve to want a woman without children. Many lame dudes and super corny. I don't know if it is all cities but so far the ones I met in Pittsburgh have been described above.
 
I'm actually having fun on POF. It actually has made me understand that there are quality, professional men out there who are serious about meeting their soul mate. Yes, there seem to be many single fathers, but I have also been approached by many men without children. We seem to have so much in common. I've narrowed my interests down to 2 or 3 guys. I left eHarmony, Match.com and Black People Meet. I just think the men seem more serious on POF than on those others.

LOL!! I seem to have scared all the players off because I made it clear in my profile that I don't want anyone who wants just a "casual relationship." I stated that I didn't want anyone who just wanted to be "friends" or a "pen pal." If he's not serious, no email me. It's great for me because I've been able to narrow the field down to the guys who seem to be really serious.

This is *exactly* what I did and I think it was the right thing to do... :yep:
 
I was on there for about a month. Talked to a couple guys over the phone, and it didn't go past that.
I got alot of emails, but I had to laugh at some of them. I had no luck on that site, and cancelled. Lots of lames, players and psychos. :perplexed

I'm glad to hear some of you gals had luck. :yep:

I did this too, and it's made life so much better on the site; So far I'm really pleased!:yep:
 
I just signed up after reading this post. Lets see what i can reel in lol! I'm just looking for good conversation right now. This year is focusing on my son and my new career. But it would be nice to talk with someone.
 
I was on POF for a long time (active and inactive). Two things i noticed:

1 - Most of the guys don't like fat chicks
2 - Most of the guys wanted to have sex
 
Honestly, I found alot of non-blackmen on there to be testing the waters for the first time. It was cool because I liked the free drinks,meals,concerts and interesting characters. :lol: I'm still friends with one male from there.
 
I made a profile ladies!! I'm tallking to this guy Daniel....

I'm excited to see what happens.
I'll let you know.
Wish me luck!
 
I have been on POF for a while. As far as volume, I have had more communication there than with any other dating site. I get at least 30 messages a week on that site. I have only been on a handful of dates though. A lot of men that contact me are just wack. Not attractive, in their 30's and 40's with low-level jobs, have kids, etc.

There are some really nice guys on there though so I keep my profile up hoping for something to happen. I'm going to give OKCupid a try also.
 
update. so this guy was a bust. we talkd on skype and he's not my type. oh well there are plenty of messages to go through. I like this sight.
Funny thing I notice is that most of the guys looking at my site are white. lol
I like that you can see who viewed u .
 
Yeah most of the guys hittin gon me is white too. I haven't been on there this week; but its pretty cool.
