Stood up by POF

    Hi just wondering what the story is with POF??!! Joined it 2 months ago and I have been asked out on 4 dates. Every single one either cancelled at the last minute with some lame made-up excuse (sick etc) or just didnt show up. I dont understand why someone would do this after 2-3weeks of messages back and forth.
    The only thing I can think of is they were too nervous? But then why join the site in the first place aaarrgghhhh :mad:

    Rachel: Oh, oh no. Do you think she walked in, saw you, and left?
    Ross: Why does everyone keep saying that?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭Steve O


    Maybe they walked in, seen you and left.

    Edit: as above

    More then likely this or they realised they are ugly and hid in shame

    We added each other on facebook so they knew what I looked like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    Maybe their partners wouldn't let them out to play.

    Don't sweat it, give it time.

    Maybe they just weren't as ready as they thought they were for dating in the real world?

    POF is a waste of time, shower of timewasters on it.

    I joined a paid site and had a date last week, and hopefully will meet again this week.

    It's window shopping really, works if yer decent looking or any type of woman.

    I'm becoming accepting of my hermit status :D

    Plenty of Failure if the OP is anything to go by!

    Ah no, plentyoffish.com, it's a popular dating site for unpopular people.

    POF
    Piece of fluff?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,918 ✭✭✭Terrontress


    Maybe they just tell you that.

    I know a guy who gave it up because all the travelling to the rides was too much trouble.

    Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

    Although I always had my doubts as to the quality of the women he must have been tapping.

    As they say, the odds are good but the goods are odd.

    Nope, I've met some of the chic's ~ and bloody hot they were too.

    Two lads broke up with their wives over their carry on, lost the run of themselves (idiots).

    Its certainly working for some people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭Praetorian Saighdiuir


    I'm gorgeous OP

    I get chicks from boards............stick around, your luck might change.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,459 ✭✭✭Chucken

    You know you're popular on boards when your inbox and outbox are simultaneously full.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Maybe you shouldn't of told them you were bringing them the mountains in your van?!

    Fine so, I'll stop begging asking you for a date then! :(





    Your inbox is probably hammered anyway! :p

    I always thought it was a site for selling fish. I never used it because the smell of fish makes me sick.

    Thought thread was about POV. I am disappoint.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,663 ✭✭✭Cork24


    If the OP could sent give us a Link to your profile then we boards.ie lads
    Could tell the OP where she is going wrong


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    This is rubbish. I thought the whole site stood you up.

    Like you had a job interview to work for them and when you turned up they'd moved their offices or something.

    Instead some girls just thought you were a bit fugly.

    :(

    POF = Zoosk on training wheels.
    IPod touch = iPhone in other words

    I completely don't get your iPod touch/iPhone thing there.

    You're saying that the iPhone and the iPod Touch are the same?

    I agree with you but I'd add that's it's probably OK if you're over 30. I know someone who's a borderline slob and he pulled a fairly respectable girl on it. He's over 30 though.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 97 ✭✭GobblyNob


    I had a look at that site. Couldn't ****ing figure it out. I just wanted to search for "byore" and "cork" but I had to answer a ****load of questions first so they could AUTOMATICALLY?!?! match me with other people!

    So if I said I like Movies, I could be matched with some massive 90 year old granny who also loves movies!

    Is that how it works? Is there any way to simply browse the byeuores?

    How old are the lads in question, and how old are the girls? I think it's much tougher to pull a decent girl online if you're under a certain age. Most attractive young girls are just window shopping in my opinion.

    Ah..I see you are using ze acronyms

    Ze people who are using the acronyms are being shot.

    All people who use these little codes under the assumption that others inhabit their world rather than taking 10 seconds to type full words need to smb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,785 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles-old


    Try okCupid OP, plenty of fish is full of time wasters.

    I know a good few people who've met their other half on okCupid. Or benaughty if you just want the ride


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Join POF if you want your head done in. I've known a few people who have been on it and they all say the same things... Timewasters, prick teases, weirdos, users, liars (etc)
