update: I have her phone number and we are going to go for coffee nxt weekend bc she is busy this weeend for the holidays. another attractive girl I had been talking to has not replie to my last pof message. I dont now if she has signed on in a while.

anyway I just wanted to say this...there are some weeeeeird girls on that site. I was taling to this one girl about a month ago(she initiated contact with me, and i thought she was ok looking so responded.) I got creeped out bc she said her name was en and her username was chriissy or some other first name tht wasn't jen and when I asked her about it she said ''story is too long'' so i stopped replying to her and just today( a month later) she messages me on a new account saying hi im jenn u sound amazing..as i f she has no idea we talked before??

Then there are the girls who say hi to me very month who i keep ignoring..
Then there is this one chick who stoodd me up for a date about a yr ago and she ust sent e a message saying hi. I must have been desperate then cause she looks sinfully ugly :P/

What's wrong with fat ugly girls? Have you taken the time to talk to them and find out what they're like?
no i am not interested in their personalities....a girlfriend should be attractive as a precursor to all. Personality s important but it doesn't mean s**t if you aren't into them physically.
I nvr said anything is wrong with them I just want nothing to do with them bro

Any questions? Plus, eHarmony's Neil Clark Warren was associated with James Dobson's Focus on the Family, and despite being a Christian, I see them as a hate group. I shouldn't do total bashing. An old friend of my mom's has a 30 year old daughter who is married to a pre-med student who the family found on eHarmony, on a profile that the family set up, and not her (I forget if he has his MD already or not).

I'm curious, but has anyone here on WP ever succeeded getting into eHarmony?
i felt like s**t when they rejected me..i was like 15 though when i tried

Do you have anything to go by more than her name?
As odd as it sounds there could be two people with the same name on the same city(I have had to spend a while explaining to some acquaintances that while my name isnt that common I dont own it(after being told that someone on the radio had your first name and they turned the volume up only to be disappointed to see it wasnt you and several similar things on a week you try to make things clear to people))

So many of them smoke (which I can' stand), have kids (couldn't handle that either) or are too hung up on religion for me. But I keep trying. I also have another strategy (and it already worked once a few months ago) to get women to talk to me. I just wear this to public events mainly in the spring and fall:

Anything that brings attention to you can be a good thing if you know how to use it(you are likely to be approached about it and you can prepare how to handle that sort of situation...)

Id never be able to wear a shirt like that because Im too self conscious but if you prepare a couple of replies for different situations on which you may be approached about it it could do wonders. I personally like to use smaller things to capture people´s attention(use a death note instead of a christian cross which can be a great conversation starter among the right people...)) but if you are comfortable with it its a great way to express your intention.


A while ago I was having a discussion about why some people thought dating sites were so great with a few other members, the best reply we could come up with is that you both know why you are there and it should help with the whole I dont know if the other person is single... situation that stops people from approaching others. You have that covered in real life and I think it could be a great idea as long as you dont make a huge deal about the shirt(google chris chan girlfriend and it should clear up what you need to avoid)


I was a bit nervous the first time I wore it, but I was determined to try. :) It mainly attracts high school or college age girls eager to shoot me with their cell phone cams or people asking what BBW stands for... But even that can get people talking about it with their friends or relatives. I prefer to wear it to the Saturday festivals they have in all the towns in my area in the spring & fall, and sometimes to wal-mart. I get quite a few compliments like "I like your shirt". The one time it did work was indirectly. Girls talking and joking about it led to a young niece of the woman I started dating telling her about it. She saw it but was too shy to approach me, and then recognized me on zoosk the next day and started flirting me. You can't talk on zoosk without paying, but I found her on POF 3 weeks later (by searching on her age & location) and we started seeing each other within a week. Not seeing her anymore, but glad to know it can work now! I use it on all my dating site profiles so it tends to stand out. One reason a lot of women don't respond on POF is because most haven't logged on in months or years. I try to stick with the ones that logged in within the past month.

why i quit dating sites is cause i wont find what i look for in them. now all they are to me is a comic stress relief. I just go and laugh at the dumb things people do for attention.

That's a negative attitude to have as even befriending one of them could lead to an opening for social events or an opportunity to meet more people but most of all, just being their friend because you have things in common with them is the best thing. However I don't have many things in common with people that are fat, simply because we have completely different lifestyles.

Personality and compatibility is important but I agree, if you are looking for a relationship based on physical and mental attraction, it's still important to but somewhat physically attracted to the person.

wtfid2, Just do your profile along the lines of mine, first I wasn't getting many responses apart from the desperate ones like you but I created this cocky/funny profile, wrote it so it would relate more to the British public and I have been getting unsolicited messages from attractive women everyday.

http://www.okcupid.com/zonemodel Check out my OkCupid profile dude and try something similar.

college girls hit you up?? dang. the shirt idea would prob be a good convo starter. I wear a superman shirt(a blue shirt with the super shield) and people usually talk to me about it. wear it alot lol. I'd be anxious to wear it though..takes some balls especially if you're a chuby chaser so props lol. my shirt would say....23 yr old kissless virgin seeking hot dish to blow me away..pun intended.

i agree it's a neg attitude but it's also honest lol. No girl is going o befriend me on a dating site to introduce me to other girls come on :P

btw I ha a question for you. I don;t mean this in a rude way, but im genuinely curious in how many girls you've actually seen more tan once from these sites. This can include going on 2 dates, having them as your committed gf, or if you had sex with them that would count even if it were one time and not 2. just curious.

also where's my congrats for the date coming up lol. TBH though i'd be surprised if i got a second date lol.

Surprisingly, I'm getting some attention on OKCupid since rejoining and thought I finally found the dream girl (and was ready to come here and eat my words) because she literally is looking for someone like me, right down to the lack of previous experience. It sounded like an ideal match (and she's really good looking) but her profile's last sentence says that she will not respond to anyone under 5'10". Even though I'm well over that I can't look past that! I can see the preference but my goodness that's like me blocking her because she has long, straight red hair instead of my favourite colour (black).

i dont respond to girls over 5'9..part of that is bc I haee a fear iwill end up with a transsexual..the other part is I prefer short girls. I'm 6'2 so any of tht height req stuff leads the girls to me ;)...and even with that advantage i still havent had a gf fml

Preferences are what they are, bro.

AND ARE YOU MAD?! STRAIGHT RED HAIR!! That's the BEST HAIR! Who cares if it's not your favorite, you'll be the envy of men the world round!
