POF - just silly

ok, so now I've been on it a few days and I have to admit, it's just silly. I don't have time to keep so up-to-date with everyone all the time and if you don't react or email back quick enough, they are interested suddenly in someone else. LOL. It's kind of funny and makes me feel like I'm trying to buy something from Craigslist. I don't think it's the site for me. Kind of fun to dabble in, but realistically, it just seems kind of a waste in energy. And it takes a lot of energy to keep up.

The young Art guy is gone, the other separated guy seems to have vanished and the one who was 43 and closest to my type, decided to pursue someone that he felt was more into him (I am too busy of a woman). LOL.
Do I care? Heck NO! I could care less. LOL. I'll mess with the site maybe for another week, but I'm already ready to kick it to the curb. I just don't feel "into" it and honestly, I don't want to date. LOL.

There is something about that site that is a little "off". First I find it hard to navigate, cause the pictures are so hard to see (or am I old?). Second, you don't get to learn much about the guys on the profiles. Last, there are some serious idiots on the site. One sort of cute guy from nearby sent me an e-mail that only said "hi". OK, I'll bite, so I reply "can you tell me a little about yourself" (to me that means: what do you do, do you have kids, what do you like to do...kinda like a job interview!). His reply "wadda ya wanna know?" I am way to busy to start a conversation like that!

I could go on FOREVER about the 'strangness' of that site! LOL. It's just sometimes downright creepy and the amount of guys that have the no shirt photos. EWWW. I don't want to know or care, but I guess the gals are just as bad on it as the guys. I'm sure there must be a FEW descent men, I mean look, I'm on it, but still WAY toooo far and inbetween. It is amusing tho!

All of them start to look alike after a while. What makes a guy think you want to see him shirtless right off the bat, especially when they sure ain't got a six pack?

One of the ways I knew my marriage was over is the day I found shirtless pictures of my ex he took of himself on our camera. Those were not meant for me, if you know what I mean. But when I saw them, even I went "EWWWWW".

Newly separated contacted me last night and I pretty much told him I didn't think due to his lack of interest that he's shown that I need to keep him on the fishing line. He then straightened out quickly and wrote me a lengthy email in return. I thought that was nice, I wrote him one back this morning. He is a cutie! I asked him to be a little more clear on how long he's been separated and if I wasn't being too nosey, to explain a little what happened. I'm curious to see.......
