		<description>There is no doubt that women on pof develop unrealistic expectations,which become more unrealistic with time,until the burn themselves out and give up. 
I&#039;m sure that receiving 50 or messages a day doesn&#039;t help things. Some like it. They feel they are being worshipped or something. Weird. 
Its a dating site. Browse,talk,meet,and get off (the site)</description>

		<description>&quot;online dating&quot; has been bad since at least the late 1990&#039;s (after trying multiple sites, i gave up a couple years later... i was too stubborn.)</description>

		<description>plentyoffish is hateful and sexist against MEN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get asked by women what I think about Plenty of Fish. Thinking is for the impaired, DEDUCTION is for people with normal IQ. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, as of now, Thursday, November 26, 2009, one&#039;s level of education is categorized under &quot;smarts.&quot; Smarts are not defined by professional degrees. The smartest people I know are self-educated. An amateur built the Arc. A bunch of guys with diplomas built the Titanic. Even Moliere said &quot;an educated fool is more foolish than an uneducated one.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This does not mean that I am compatible with the pathetic modern day version of the &quot;coffee shop lawyer&quot; --- &quot;the internet debater quack.&quot; And I already ran into one of those idiots, thanks to the site&#039;s profound calculations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, a man who does not know and knows it, is not foolish. A man who does not know and thinks that he knows --- is. You do not know anything about love. Inventing an algorithm to match people, when you do not know anything about love, leads to mismatching them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly since when are men not allowed to show nipples? Does your girlfriend make you pee sitting down? How dare they shame men for being men! As Baltasar Gracian said &quot;nothing enhances a man as much as being a man.&quot; So it follows that the more you apologize for being male the more repulsive your are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourthly confident men do not try to intimidate people with warnings because you can only push an invertebrate. Spines do not fold like wings. You have to be an invertebrate yourself to project the same behavioral response on someone else. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put two and two together and we have a sycophant, a conniving moral coward. I do not put people down, I do not even put them in their place, but I am not responsible for lifting them up, so I will not pretend they are anywhere else than where they are. If they do not like where they are they can stick their head in the sand and hope nobody bites their butt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was my profile mhtml:http://api.ning.com/files/n6x3sJrjsvd3etu-xR6GkNbb4JziClDcaBju18Wlt0s_/PlentyofFishreview.mht</description>

		<description>Quote &quot;This just goes to prove my theory that the competition between men on PlentyofFish.com is quite weak despite the incredible large quantity.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most women on POF have their expectations ser a little high ... and they still expext those men to line up in their email queue to await approval. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are just simply expecting too much. Why would guys, at the level expected need to line up in their queue on the internet? Let&#039;s get real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guys will always go where they can get the best deal with the least effort. POF isn&#039;t the place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If women actually knew how many pretty awesome guys sign up with POF and quickly delete their account within hours or a week or two ... they be shocked. It would certainly be a wakeup call in terms of womens expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guys women are looking for are not there, because the women these guys are looking for are not there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW, you can&#039;t totally fault women on this. POF is designed to maximize ad revenue over effectiveness. That in in itself creates a lot of the problems. POF does not provide a way for women to distant themselves from men they are not interested in. The best strategy for women is too pick you they want and chase them. Unfortunately women on POF will only do that for the top enf guys ... most of which are lying to be that guy. Again it&#039;s an expectation problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I view POF as a collection of women looking for bargains. Forget it, it&#039;s not going to happen, you&#039;ll never be able to keep the guy, at best you&#039;ll be sharing him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women looking for bargins will only attract amateur players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, this is another issue with the way POF is setup. Without cross match or segmentation for the user base, women hust don&#039;t know how limiyed their requirements are. The are at least 20% of women on that site, if cross match was available, would just see a blank page when they hit their matches button.</description>

		<description>Both of the anonymous posts above are 100% fact.  I was actually thinking the exact same things while reading the article, amazing.</description>

		<description>I have been on the service nearly two years, and women are not any better. The Princess attitude abounds, and women are unlikely to even reply to a serious initial post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think a lot of women are on merely for the ego-boost of having strangers compliment them.</description>

		<description>In regards to the first girl (Diva), if she doesn&#039;t like the subject lines, thinks their too short of description; why doesn&#039;t she make an EFFORT herself and be the first to initiate an online conversation instead of waiting for the guy to make the 1st move. I thought women in today&#039;s society were supposed to be more independent. Guess not. She also makes these points about some of her dates: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----A couple of guys ended up lying about their height and were shorter than described in their profiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----One of these had questionable manners&lt;br /&gt;----One guy lied about his age &lt;br /&gt;----Another didn&#039;t look like his pictures&lt;br /&gt;         and a couple of them were quite boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you something.... the same goes true for guys. I&#039;d say that most women lie about their age and ESPECIALLY weight. On my dates I found some women boring and some that didn&#039;t look like their picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am beginning to understand the frustrations of men on plentyoffish. It&#039;s like the girls aren&#039;t even trying.  Plus, most women lie heavily on their profiles.</description>
