Because of your post, I posted on that site and have already received about 4+ ads for intimate relationships as well as a bunch of Instant Messengers from married men seeking playmates! Geez! I was going to delete my profile, but thought what the heck, and 2 guys wrote thus far seemingly interested in chatting and seeking more than quick sex. They both provided alternate e-mail addresses. I'm just having fun with it (thanks for the site info) but like other sites, there are a bunch of players, and sexual freaks on here. You have to note that these free sites encourage "scum that live under the bridge" to write you too!
Regardless of good and/or bad experiences, it's all about being you, enjoying it and with your experiences (either good/bad) comes wisdom in seeking a potential mate that's compatible to you. Of course, whatever site you have to weed through the garbage!! Good luck!!
I posted a profile on POF a few weeks ago. I am only casually doing online dating until after the new year, so free was a nice option.
So far, I have received mostly freak e-mails, and one or two seemingly sincere ones. We shall see - I haven't met any of them in person yet. This site more than others seems to be a place where people want to exchange endless e-mails and don't want to call or meet.
I have also tried Match and Yahoo and had better luck with both of those in meeting genuine, quality people. There's another free site I've checked out: ItsJustCoffee.com. It's brand new and free for now. I've received a few nice e-mails, but there are not as many people signed up for this one because it's new.
I had a feeling, this site attracted even more Player types than the others. I like the unstructured format, but don't like that the blatant adult ads are mixed with the good ones.
I think you're right, whether it is work, school, a bar or whatever, there is good and there is scum, and that the scum is out there is no reason not to make oneself available to the keepers.
Glad you met some potential good guys. In that case, maybe I'll give the site a chance too.
I tired pof a while back. I never met anyone from that site. Most are weirdos and after sex or loosers and have no friends... I decided to delete my profile but couldnot!!! so I ended up replacing my email there with a non exisiting one n distorting the info in the profile so it wont sound like me.
I didn't like POF. It seemed like the people there weren't really into developing friends or relationships, but were just casting a line out to see who would respond. It's free in my area and I think it was full of curiosity seekers and players based on the responses I got.
