From a mans point of view I will be fair and set my disappointment to one side. Pof is no better than real life for enhancing your chances to find a companion, however, if you take it seriously and do a sensible profile and upload honest pictures then it's not for the want of trying is it? It's very easy to become addicted to pof, rushing home from work to check messages, staying up later than usual chatting, it can be a real distraction if you are not disciplined. I had three dates, sex once and two coffees that never went any further. There are a lot of people who don't take the site seriously and will mess you around, the art is to not be too needy or come across as lonely as you will be ignored, the women seem quite a fickle bunch, only interested in money, looks, how far you will go to crawl to them and basically what they can get away with! My general impression is that I cannot come into contact with any woman in every day life without being suspicious and aware they are pretty evil things really, I don't genuinely think any of them genuinely want a relationship that might call on them to do some giving as well! Totally selfish individuals, rude and the best actresses ever put upon the planet earth, the ones who have the nice house etc are just prostitutes who probably still live off the ex old man they parted with in the first place... why don't blokes just stop the maintenance? Because you wouldn't want the kids to go hungry now would you? In short the women are filth who should be avoided, get a dog for loyalty and visit prostitutes... all covered... job done! Great for having sex with multiple women, but use a durex.
