POF : If you used pof, as a man, as a measure of the relationships between men and women, you would believe that love is dead.
This site, it would make you HATE women, you would look at them, as a whole, and think « why would I want to spend any time with the things that ignore me and block me, vanish on me when I ask them out and generally act like selfish, stuck up snobs, and when asked why say « men are mean so we can’t risk saying no thanks »
​
You would wonder what the fuck made them worth talking to in the first place.

How am I not a nice person? I tell people the truth. I’m honest to a fault.
Probably too honest for 99.9% of this population. I’d probably offend all the people who are typically offended by today’s politicians.
That is me.
You are missing though how highly filtered POF is.
I have been on POF since the beginning and no matter what I have said it was always for hooking up.
After a certain age there is just no one new joining so it is basically guys like me and women just on there for the attention of getting a bunch of messages.
It isn’t even worth it for hooking up anymore though because of lack of new people.
Why do you think you’re owed attention from anybody? Because you sent them a message? Because you told that average girl she’s beautiful? Because it would be polite?
​
Bullshit.
​
The sooner you get over the fact you aint owed shit by anybody, especially not women, and you’re absolutely not owed any pussy for typing out a pathetic little message the sooner you might actuially get some success from OLD.
Pof was trash for me. Men between 30-50 tended to post pictures of themselves in their 20s, would be married or taken or only looking for sex and trying to get me to change my mind. The ones who weren’t as creepy you could tell why they’ve been single their whole lives. Almost every date I’ve had on pof was a shit show you would read about here or some article that’s seems like its pulling your leg.
I had much better success on okc and currently dating a sweet guy with and awesome beard, like zz top awesome.
I can’t blame the women. I’ve been sent enough screen shots of some of the shit that they put up with online, and I felt almost ashamed for the jokers that had no problem sending some of the shit that they do end up using as a message. But I started questioning if love or what love is many years ago. Now I’m at the point of just wanting to find a woman where we find one another attractive, and can find fun outside and inside of the bedroom. But I have a bad habit of grossly oversimplifying everything that I can
Stop being so pessimistic. Clean yourself up, stop thinking toxic garbage and go socialize. If the apps aren’t working for you then go make it happen. Sitting around online staring at photos of strangers will make anyone depressed.
Remember the phrase « Single and ready to mingle »? you can go out and find events for singles. You have access to internet. Go do something productive instead of sulking. It’s not helpful to yourself.
​
Good luck, I hope you find something constructive to keep the toxic thoughts at bay.
Love is dead.
