POF : POF: Seeing the same faces of the same women
I deleted my POF profile quite a few months ago. I would actually go on and off again from the site from year to year. When I’d return…I’d see the same faces of the women (in my age category, 40’s) that I’d already attempted to contact. It seems they remain permanently affixed to the site for as long as they remain spinsters.
Sometimes I would say, « screw it, I’ll send her another message » and hopefully she wouldn’t remember…chances are she won’t because the last time I sent her a message, it was probably in the « unread » category. So who knows.
Eventually, I’d even see them come up in my « people you may know » feed on Facebook, and we’d even share a couple of friends . It’s a smaller community, so it’s not surprising I’d eventually see them pop up somewhere else. Had been tempted to contacting them that way. lol.
A couple had boyfriends that they were attempting to cheat on via Plenty of Fish. lol
I dunno, I figured by the time women reached their 40s, and lived in an area where the dating pool is limited to the « Hills Have Eyes »/ Jerry Springer candidate/People of Wal-mart » variety, the rest of the community is mostly elderly or married….you’d figured with those stats, they’d be willing to meet whomever is not what I listed…at least when they come to realize that the dating pool where they live is limited.

The people on this dating app are the most broken of all dating apps. It’s become a joke.
Well I for one have been on POF, off and on anyway, for the past five years or so. All I can say is I message people and am quick to respond when I receive a message from someone I find interesting and would like to know more about.
From my perspective, no one wants to actually meet! Or, the conversation goes well for a few days and then they disappear. Maybe I’m living in some fantasy land, but I’m hopeful that I will eventually meet someone, so that’s why I’m still there. I don’t consider myself « broken, » but I’m also not willing to settle for some troll either just because he happens to have a cell phone and was able to figure out how to sign up for a free dating app and knows how to send a message.
Yes, the dating pool in my immediate area is pretty sad (and sometimes downright scary), but I’m not opposed to meeting someone that’s a little further away, but I’m also not interested in a mostly long-distance relationship.
Quite frankly, I don’t get it. Either I attract men with major issues or I’m attracted to the wrong type. Dunno, but I haven’t given up.
The people who’ve been there since forever (the non-bots) are USUALLY the types who can’t keep stable relationships in the first place. Just another sign to load up your blocklist.
Yes I whould agree most of the women on there are broken. And most are there to stroke there egos but you if got good bait you can catch and release some haha. My current girlfriend i met POF she’s good catch and her cousin told get on there and I tell you the cousin is catch and release. But got keep on fishing to get a keeper either on land or sea.
