Has anyone had any experience with the website PlanetOut? I'm seriously thinking about posting an ad on there, and I wanted some feedback.

Hello, pinkstar, I've posted at PlanetOut and I haven't recieved any responses, but that's ok, I have posted at other dating sites, and I've gotten some interesting responses, some sexual in nature, some just looking for a friend. Either way, I get a response.

I haven't really had too many wackos respond to me, but even if I do, I don't have too much of a problem, I usually respond just a wacky as they do, and either they become a good friend, or they think I'm just as weird as them, or they just don't respond anymore. So, you see? It's not all bad. The great part about it is you get to meet a lot of women and at the same time stay safe.

Keep up the search, stay safe and good luck!

Hugs!

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

Hi Jo,

I posted on planet out, and still am. So far I have had great experiences. I will tell you that I'm just as picky on line as I am in person. I read the person's profile very carefully, and look at the photo. No, I'm not looking for a beauty queen, I just like to see the face of the person I'm going to talk to. The girl I told you about, of my dreams...was the only date I have had with anyone from on line thru planet out. We went to Ragazzi's and had a wonderful time. She contacted me the day after. Even though a relationship didn't develop, and (I wish it would have)we are still great friends.

Other woman have contacted me, and I still read their profiles before responding. I do respond to their e-mails, out of kindness. If I'm not interested in meeting, I keep the conversation very general, and I never respond immediately. It's a very gentle way of saying no thanks. Like you and I, I will e-mail back and forth with people, and just want to get to know them better and maybe become long distance friends. Beyond that, I have no expectation to meet the woman of my dreams.

Planet out is user friendly, and your profile is posted immediately, no glitches. I also like the graphics and look of the profile environment in comparison to yahoo personals.

This of course is based on my own personal experience, others I see have obviously had different results. Bottom line is be careful with what you say or do, and go slow.

Here's a funny story. Dear friend fell in love with this woman over the phone in a LDR, her voice was stunning. After month's of talking and phone sex etc... and never swapping photo's, they decided it was time to meet. She didn't know it at the time, that the girl simply packed her bags and was coming to Ohio to move in. Not to mention a great big woof when she finally saw her. lol But, she said she fell in love with her voice and tried to work it out. She said the sex was great. However, things became tense really quick when the girl became possessive and wanted to out her. Extremely bad news for anyone in the military, if ya know what I mean? And, my friend was a commissioned officer. It took awhile for her to convince the girl that she needed to go back to where she came from. Big financial impact for my friend as well. You never know what is hidden...so be careful.

hugs
