Back on POF

I reactivated my POF account a few weeks ago.
I've had several men look over it and tell me if it's hinting at anything I may not be aware of.
Nope. All male friends say it's good, normal and inviting. YAY ME!

So explain to me this. Why is BigButtNut contacting me for water sports and other things?
I wrote him a nasty reply asking why he thought he should be messaging me. As it clearly states on my profile I'm not interested in anyone looking for sexual encounters. And strongly suggested he read the profiles and "know your audience" Just saying'  He's replied but I've yet to check it.

I'd had enough with the ugly of the ugly viewing me. Then I read at the top of edit profile and learn the system picks your matches based on your height and income. WTF!?  No wonder I'm getting all the trolls. Cos I'm short. This is sooooo wrong.

I changed my income status -which btw is not on your profile, and my height by an inch.
Both of which I mention in my profile have been changed and why etc.

I spend the day on the couch due to a spider bit on the back of my neck. aka death like flu symptoms kept me home. I spent time annoyed and decided I would start messaging men.
I msg'd 4. I got 4 replies. :)  And not the replies men send to say thanks for the message but not interested.
I exchanged email address and cell numbers with 3 of the 4.  They all commented on my profile and it's blunt honesty. :) (weight, height, income etc). Turns out, men are having the same issues.

Note to POF.
How about you let the users pick their matches based on the settings. 28-45 yrs old (whatever they may be). and actually send that to us etc.  I'm not overly impressed with the way this service decides who your matches are. But alas it is a free site. Although one step shy of being CList.

I do not bother with using multiple sites, you just see the same people on each site. Even the paid ones.
Anytime I'm on this site I also open a picture-less account on AFF. Adult Friend F......  (ya I don't want that site linked to my blog).. I do this to see if any of the men I'm chatting with and potential dating are openly trolling for casual hook ups. Yes everyone does it. However there is something a little more degrading about that site, that suggests they may not take or protect their sexual health as serious as I would like.

Off topic. Back to the boys.

They are all 5'6 - 6'3 similar features etc. (think the Jude Law, Hugh Grant, Hugh Jackman and Jason Statham types mmmmmm- ya now you all know my type) we all have something in common and few things not. I would consider myself a high 6, sometimes a 7(on a good hair/makeup day) These men are all 8,9,10's. I always date up. :) Entirely too early to say what will come of any of them. But the fact I hit 4 out of 4 in one morning was a good start.

One I messaged cos he was honest about his wants for a casual hook up, but in a gentleman way.
Hey it worked. I msg'd him just to say kootos etc. We agreed there was nothing wrong with passing the time together as we both look for something else.  We covered a lot of history via msn. He doesn't want to whore around, too much, but to find one or two ladies he can switch up his time with to different events. (dinner, hockey games and of course booty) when he has down time.

Ok, this might be a total line, but it worked for me, and he's not claiming to want a relationship, he's being upfront about what he wants etc. No games.  So it's a win/win. It might not work for everyone. I've been fortunate enough to have had a healthy booty call in the past so I know one forthcoming when I see it.

Now I have to seriously step up the wardrobe and dress the way I want, not just what I can afford and make my appearance match my insides. :)

More to follow on BigButtNut after I read his reply tonight.
Who knows, maybe it's just an apology. HA!
Ow, the thought of that made me laugh out loud. I know it will be him saying nasty things to me, somehow in his little brain that will interpret that I will respond with an "oh yes baby, that's what I like". *barf*

Sidenote: The volunteers from Helping Families in Need are coming by tonight to pick up the bed and TV. :)
I've had to cancel my own volunteer dinner with the museum, this one wins. Volunteer dinners will always be there.

Laurie's daughter tried to add me to FB last night.  I thought I had blocked her after she called me a fucking douche bag. This from an 11 yr old.  Turns out she changed her name up a little and tried to add me.
Silly girl has her profile public. I read her wall as far back at April 2010 and learned that Laurie had planned to move out, and had scheduled a few trips to Vancouver while claiming the whole time to be in another province with the kids.  I knew she was acting sketchy.  So between May - July 10 when she claimed to be in another province, she was indeed here visiting a lot of that time and lied about it. I read her daughter's wall for other things and my gawd, she is her mothers daughter for sure. The angst that spews from her mouth on her wall, well it's embarrassing. I would kill my child if they openly spoke like this to aunts, uncles siblings etc on a public wall. Maybe someone should explain to her how the Internet really works.
Needless to say I declined her invite to be friends.

  1. I say with free sites you get what you pay for! And these guys sending casual hook ups to women who say they don't want it? I can just see them saying: well it was worth a try, wasn't it? Good luck with the men!

  3. Kas - Ya I'll be alright.
    It just takes the right spider to get me to get sick. I opened my windows and patio doors over the weekend cos it was warm outside etc.

    Until I found the bite, I thought I had a violent case of the flu. I'm on the mends.

    Applied hot teabags to the bites (that hurts in itself) and helped emencely. I could have stayed home again today, but one day of bad daytime tv is enough.

    There have been times in past years I've been bute and put on meds, a drip and puffer cos the wrong type got me. It might come to a time at some point in life where I'll have to be tested for which ones are the worse and wear a medical braclet... but that is still years away.

  4. As to the whole free site you get what you pay for thing - I think that there are skeevy people in all places - some just hide it better... So on that note good luck with the non-skeevy ones because you deserve a good guy who respects you - and of course is hot - you need both.

    As to the whole shopping for a wardrobe business I've been mulling over that for a while - there were lots of sales in Sears downtown last weekend but I just didn't feel like shopping... Something is wrong with me, I'm sure of it.

  5. SP - THere is an update coming for pof. I'm just exhausted right now.

    As for shopping, darling, we have to meet up and and make an afternoon of it. NOthing worse than shopping alone when you don't know what you want.
    When you do, its in and out, done.

    I hate shopping. But love clothes. Go figure.

  6. Stupid done button....

    If you're up for it, lets chat offline and see about mid feb for an afternoon of shopping and drinks. Don't worry I will not be offended it if you're not up for it.

    :)

  8. Girl!!!! You TOO? I joined as well, but was so inundated with messages of garbage from men who looked like garbage, I haven't logged back on in days.

    I'll surely check out the profile and yes, whoever though matching people by salary and height is a tard.

    Ugh! I'm just waiting to be rescued from the world of dating. Save me, Save me, Save me!!!!!

  9. Hangover -
    yes I'm back on. Read on, there is more... lol
    One for the books for sure.
    Funny, when you look at the time stamp, I think we were both leaving messages on each others blogs.

    I really like your last post. I'm going to make the guidelines of f@ckbuddy very clear. Cos I am lonely, I do not want to mix or confuse the difference of dating for romance and f@cking to pass the time and have some short term needs met.

    Updates to follow I'm sure.
