I've been extremely busy and I haven't had time for POF and their shenanigans. And so I checked out POF today, and guess what? Same fucking, boring, tired-assed folks are STILL there. Gee, I wonder why? It is like I never left. And the same people who were there the day i created this blog are STILL THERE! What a shock, huh? I think POF is like a time capsule. In another 40 years, when I'm in a nursing home, pinching nurses asses, I'll probably get on POF before my dementia kicks in and still see the same sorry sacks on there.<br />
<br />
Sadly, I couldn't find even one intriguing profile to trash. It was like going into a 1980s era grocery store back when their generic brands came in a plain white box with black letters. Bor-ing!<br />
<br />
Who knows when-- or if-- I come back. I've obviously had more success meeting folks offline these days so I haven't had much reason to try POF again.Angry POF Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16555152190590299421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563468416119771930.post-88757402678019901982015-11-28T05:22:00.001-08:002015-11-28T05:22:35.144-08:00"I'm a chic chick"Very quick rant for today, ladies. <br />
<br />
I'm not the biggest grammar Nazi in the world or anything, but is our culture getting so out of hand with using the wrong words (they're, there, and there and two, to, and too) that we are even using words that aren't even that much alike? <br />
<br />
(My personal favorite was an ex who wrote that she STEAL loves me. I am no fan of thieves. Another wrote she STEEL loves me. She is bracing herself or strengthening her resolve to love me? And both words are different from STILL in pronounciation.)<br />
<br />
In any case, it seems that women are now confusing CHIC with CHICK, as in, "I'm a cool chic." <br />
<br />
CHIC (pronounced SHEEK) mans stylish or fashionable. CHICK is slang for a female. You can be "chic" but you can't be "a chic." <br />
<br />
That's your grammar lesson for today. You're (not "your" or "yore") welcome.

The good news-- she has founded her own production company. I'm not sure what it consists of, but hopefully that means she won't be staring at my wallet. <br />
<br />
On the downside, unless getting maced and shanked is your thing, I doubt your first date will be all that great. Not only will this bitch "mace ya ass," she may even write a book about it, too. <br />
<br />
This, my readers, is why I'm not dating again until I leave Ohio.

I have realized it has been a very, very, VERY long time since I've even thought about going back to POF. Obviously, like most folks, I have a life outside the internet world, and I've been a very busy guy. I simply forget to come back often to check messages and update the blog. Besides, if I don't go to POF any more, then I can't talk shit about it, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a confession-- I have not been on a date or have had sex in two years. I've just been a little TOO busy to date. At least one point of "internet dating" has been it is a way for those folks like me who stay busy or don't get out much away from work can meet someone. Well obviously that hasn't worked for me, and I've used POF for five years. So, eventually I've tried other places to meet folks-- Meet Me, FetLife, and so on, and I found the same tired bullshit there as well. So, I just quit trying altogether. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It isn't that I'm not interested in meeting someone new, but quite frankly, I don't have the time nor the desire to put so much effort into sifting through a sea full of catfish, tuna, and sharks to find the right person. A long time ago, I actually felt that I needed someone to love me to feel self-worth. POF is a good way to harden your heart, as the constant rejection I faced there desensitized me to the pain of rejection. Online dating became akin to working as an email spammer. That is why you ladies get lots of emails that say nothing more than "hi/ U R sexy." Why write an elaborate, personalized message just to get no response? After a while, I went through the motions without the emotions. I did write more than Hi, but it was still a copypasta letter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so, I drifted away and never came back. I rather like peace, quiet, and solitude anyways. And you know what? I'm not heartbroken over being alone. In fact, I found I'm enjoying life more without that constant reminder that I'm alone. POF tried hard to tempt me to come back. I still got emails claiming so-and-so wants to meet me. I also got emails from the millions of other bullshit services offering hates with "hot women." Whatever. Even the foreign scam artists posing as hot ladies (you know, the emails where the woman's name in the email and in the address don't match) bombarded me with offers. I just yawn and send them al to the Spam folders. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Will I ever go back to POF? To be honest, I doubt I ever will. What does that mean for this blog? Who knows? It was never my intent to become the next internet sensation; this blog was just a place to blow off steam and entertain a few folks. But you never know. I could go back and try again, get pissed off, and come back and rant some more. But for now, I have no official plans to go back. </div>

Well, I haven't been on POF in a long time and it is hard to be the Angry POF guy when I'm not going to POF any more. I've been 4 months POF-free. I should get some kind of certificate or token like AA. (I did briefly look in but I saw nothing worth bitching about, just the usual tired faces and golddiggers still hoping for a sugar daddy.)<br />
<br />
Someone suggested other sites, like MeetMe or Fetlife. Someone guaranteed I'd "get laid" at Fetlife. This person must have underestimated the area of the country I live in; Cincinnati is a shitty town for dating, as <a href="http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2015/01/02/think-hard-find-mate-right/21214419/">finding a mate is apparently difficult enough to make headlines</a>. Hell, <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/02/07/best-and-worst-cities-to-find-love.html">Daily Beast gives Cincy a C rating for the singles here</a>, and I think that's being generous. <br />
<br />
Well, I did try out a couple of other places. As it turns out, these other places suck as much ass as POF. Maybe it is just online dating in general that sucks or maybe just because I live in the 'Nasty Nati." Whatever the case, it gives me something to rant about. <br />
<br />
MEETME<br />
<br />
I made an account and make a couple of quick friends. However, the dating scene there is just as flaky. I met this one woman on MeetMe, a slightly heavyset gal (I'm a chubby chaser, folks so I'm not complaining) who described herself as "sweet but somewhat opinionated." Sweet like Saccharin, perhaps? We get to talking and she's the one who suggests we meet. We exchange numbers but she never commits to an actual meet and never calls. She stuck with random texts for a while. Finally we set up a day to meet, and I get stood up. After she pulled this stunt a second time, I finally asked her why we bother talking at all. She responds she already removed my phone number from her phone (yet is still magically able to send a few annoying texts afterword). Then, she goes back on MeetMe and laments how no man appreciates her and how hard it is to find a good man, and all men are jerks, etc. MeetMe/ more like Mute Me, which is what I had to do with her. <br /><br />FETLIFE<br />
<br />
I think the people of Fetlife are all talk no action, at least going by the gal I met there. I talked with one, and once again I got the same can't hold a conversation routine I see at POF. Second gal who contacts me chats with me, and we exchange numbers. We chat for a month (I took a cross country trip so I was gone for nearly a all month) until finally we meet. <br />
<br />
She invites me to her place, and we watch a movie together, we get a little hot and heavy but just as things seem to be going well, she says she's not really feeling that well so asked me to leave, and I never heard from her again. What a fucking tease!<br />
<br />
VERDICT: Both sites suck ass. It is the same tired bullshit from POF. Lets face it-- online dating in general is complete bullshit. You want to meet someone? Try USA Sex Guide or Naughty Reviews, because escorts are cheaper in the long run, and at least you can read the reviews to see which ones are legit. Fuck online dating and if you are offended by this, fuck you too.

It is almost like leaving home on vacation just to see the same place upon return, only with a little more dust. In fact, I don't think some people have changed their profile since that first day she signed up. There is one local profile, for example, who has proclaimed she is "new to the area" since I first saw her profile three years ago. How much Skyline Chili do you eat before you stop claiming you are new to the nasty 'Nati?<br />
<br />
Going back to POF is like watching Family Guy reruns. It isn't as funny after seeing it a few times, but I might have it on just because there's nothing better to watch and it is still entertaining. <br />
<br />
The other day, I'm out in public and I see a woman that I think I recognize. I walk up and say hi, don't I know her from somewhere, she looks at me funny, as if I'm a homeless dude trying to get some beer money, and says no. Then it dawned on me, I don't know this lady, I have just seen her profile on POF. It was a minor embarrassment. I wish the story was more exciting (no she wasn't my type). <br />
<br />
So has this happened to any of my readers? If so, how did you handle it?Angry POF Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16555152190590299421noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563468416119771930.post-58166037180922676112014-10-10T07:09:00.001-07:002014-10-10T07:10:31.327-07:00Miss High Maintenance is back! Part 2About 10 months ago I ranted about a local POF'er I like to call "Miss High Maintenance." I am sure there are worse things to call her but I'm too lazy to come up with a better one. <br />
<br />
At any rate, it seems that after almost a full year, Miss High Maintenance STILL hasn't found her rich knight in diamond-and-platinum armor. I know, shocking, right? Well, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again, and this time be even MORE insulting to men than the first time around. Have at it, fellas:<br />

Hell, this blog is a little bit of therapy for me. But in the past year, I've given some serious thought about WHY the POF experience sucks so much ass, for men and women both. I have written some thoughts on this blog already, but now I want to add another theory on this. <br />
<br />
I was reading an article today entitled, "<a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/fallout-from-campus-sexual-assault-hysteria-college-men-now-suspicious-of-women/article/2552346">Fallout from Campus Sexual Assault Hysteria: College Men now Suspicious of Women</a>," in the Washington Examiner. <br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Bloomberg reporters John Lauerman and Jennifer Surane interviewed multiple men from colleges like Harvard and Stanford who expressed concern over what was once known as a "hook-up culture" but is now labeled by feminists as "</span><a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/section/rape" style="color: #0f5b8a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white;">rape culture</span></a><span style="background-color: white;">."

</span>Yes, men are becoming more reluctant to date women. I doubt this is limited to college campuses. Think about some of the schmucks I discussed on this very blog, like the woman who stated all prospective dates would be subjected to a background check before a first date:<br />

Honestly, aside from some guy with a really bad past who may see this as a challenge in need of accepting, would anyone want this kind of hassle? Would any of my readers date someone who put this on her profile? <br />
<br />
If you Google online dating nightmares, there is no shortage of sites telling online dating nightmare stories. Looks like I'm just another fish in that sea. But I didn't make this blog to be the next internet sensation. <br />
<br />
Yes, I do fear the thought of dating the wrong woman at times. After all, there are stories of men locked up over false allegations, and in a he-said-she-said in a case with no other evidence, there are enough stories where she-said wins to keep that fear burned into my brain as a lingering thought. If anything, reports like this one make those like me somewhat reluctant to participate in the online dating phenomenon. It seems to me what is happening on campus is spreading. <br />
<br />
I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this topic.

No joke! Of all the POF-related things I have written about in the past year, this has to be the dumbest story yet. This may be even dumber than <a href="http://angrypofguy.blogspot.com/2013/05/random-pof-profile-rants-human.html">background-check lady</a>. Here it goes:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/investigations/2014/08/07/law-enforcement-crosses-lines-on-sex-stings-entrapment/13734121/">http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/investigations/2014/08/07/law-enforcement-crosses-lines-on-sex-stings-entrapment/13734121/</a><br />

While detectives used to post ads suggesting an underage teen or child was available for sex, they now routinely post more innocuous personal ads of adults on traditional dating sites. When men – many of them under 25 with no criminal history - respond, officers switch the bait and typically indicate their age is really 14 or 15 years old. However, sometimes the storyline isn't switched until the men, who were looking for legal love, already start falling for the undercover agent.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
According to arrest affidavits inspected by 10 Investigates, law enforcement is also now routinely making first contact with men who have done nothing wrong, responding to their ads on dating sites like<a href="http://www.pof.com/" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" title="http://www.pof.com/"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>PlentyOfFish.com</a>. After men start conversing with what they think are adults, officers change the age they claim to be, but try to convince the men to continue the conversation anyway.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

If the men indicate they weren't interested, they were still often arrested for just talking to the adult.</span></div>
Let that thought sink in for a moment. Imagine you are in central Florida trying to meet a gal. You start talking to a cute 26-year-old woman. She sends you a picture of her with a wedding ring on for good measure. But then she claims she's really 13. What do you do? Well, apparently it does not matter because you are now suspected of being a sex offender in Central Florida. <br />
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
However, it's easier to make the case for the men who were swept up in the stings when they were looking online for adults.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
"(My son) was stalked by law enforcement for three days," said the mother of a 22-year-old arrested in one of the stings. 10 Investigates is protecting the identity of her family.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
The son was on Craiglist's personals pages, looking to meet other adults. He responded to a "no strings attached" ad for a 26-year-old woman. He says her story changed a few times, including the claim she was only 13, but he was skeptical.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
He spoke on the phone to the undercover and she sent a photo, in which she was wearing a wedding ring. He said he was sure she was an adult (she was), so he made plans to meet her. When he arrived, he was arrested. He was later sentenced to two years of house arrest and a lifetime as a registered sex offender.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
"He had a life of promise; he had an education," his mother said. "That's all been shot."</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/22px arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 15px 60px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
She says her son is paying the price of opportunistic lawmen.</div>

But no, I'm not referring to dick sizes; I'm referring to your wallet size. <br /><br />POF profiles have many euphemisms for money-- "stable," "secure," or the always condescending, "you must have your own house, car, and J-O-B." Oh and by J-O-B they don't mean meat flipper at Mickey D's, they want the CEO of Goldman-Sachs. <br />
<br />
You want to know my least favorite college course? Economics. The Wall Street Journal cures my insomnia. The stock market is duller than the World Cup (and now that Team USA blew a game to that country known for waffles and chocolate, we can stop pretending to give a flying fuck about the World Cup. Our MVP of the same was the goalie because he had to block more volleys than the Patriot missiles of Desert Storm. But I digress). <br />
<br />
Like many Americans, I'm struggling to make ends meet. I'm not a CEO; I've stated my occupation on this blog on an occasion or two, but it isn't enough to waste on the stock market, a 401k, or the like. But I don't believe that I'm in the minority in regards to being underemployed. How many people have a career? Well, the answer isn't that easy. You see, the "official" unemployment rate, currently about 7% or so on average, is pretty much a lowball figure. This rate is called the "Headline unemployment rate," which means the number of working age adults who are looking for work. It does not count underemployed or those who quit looking for work because there aren't very many jobs. <br /><br />At any rate, how many Americans are employed full time? Well, according to Gallup, that company known for doing polls, the rate of full-time employed members of American society (what they call the "payroll-to-population ratio") is 44.7%. The number of people both willing and able to work is about 63% of the adult working age population. Gallup uses a different metric to track unemployment, using the numbered of actual unemployed plus the number of underemployed people as well as people in part-time jobs looking for full-time employment. That number is about 17%. <br /><br />If you care, read this article: <a href="http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/how-many-americans-actually-have-full-time-work.html/?a=viewall">http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/how-many-americans-actually-have-full-time-work.html/?a=viewall</a><br />
<br />
What all this really means is many of us don't have full-time employment. Some of us are underemployed or even unemployed and looking for work. Some of us work but because we work a "tipped" job or are disabled, we are paid less than the federal minimum wage. Some of us are on disability. Going by the numbers, barely 9 of every 20 people you meet are chronically employed. <br /><br />And yet, you still see the buzzwords from women online. And they wonder why they're still single? Like I said before, ladies, if money is such a big deal to you, go out and get your own damned J-O-B and buy your own damned stuff. Chronically under- or unemployed is the norm. If you want a millionaire, then you are at the wrong site.

Does anyone remember the Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day? It was a great movie. If you haven't seen it, then the plot is simple-- a man wakes up every day to the exact same day over and over again until he does everything right and he finally escapes the time loop. <br /><br />I discovered POF back in 2010, so I have been going to that site off and one for an entire Presidential term. I have been coming to this blog to post random rants about POF for about a year now to blow off steam at my online frustrations. Like many of you, I start a new profile, keep it up a while, leave in frustration, and return after a few weeks or months and try again. I see mostly the same faces when I return. Every day, we sift through the same pretentious profiles full of "sweet" and "lovable" women who want men who are "secure" (READ: Rich), "generous" (READ: Who will support them financially) and someone not looking for a one night stand (of course, they hope to never have to put out at all, unless you have a lot of money, and even then, it is just enough to get you hooked, then they stop once they get a wedding ring). <br /><br />Stupidity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result each time. I must be a fucking idiot. Y'all must be, too. <br />
<br />
Yes, I went back to POF about a month ago and got rejected like the Miami Heat did in this year's NBA Finals (so much for those 7 rings, LeBron). What do I see? The same tired fucking people. <br />
<br />
Profile #1 reads she is "New to Miami" (Not Miami FloriDUH, I mean that other Miami. In Ohio. Yes, there is a Miami in Ohio.) She is cute, although she looks like Snooki from Jersey Shore. I'm sure she's an OK gal in real life. But her profile is just the same as I saw it TWO years ago! How long is one "new" to anywhere? <br /><br />Profile #2's tag line is "Amuse me." I honestly think this is what most women are there for. They want us to play the "jester" role. I spoke with this gal before and, without getting into too many details, she was in a bad relationship so she was just there to disappoint potential suitors. Well, after leaving POF for half a year and returning, she's still there, so apparently she has gotten addicted to disappointing men. <br />
<br />
The more things change, the more they stay the same. <br />
<br />
I see I am not the only one frustrated with POF. Check out these other articles I found:<br />

All I ever wanted was to fit<br />in and live a happy life amongst humanity, but I was cast out and rejected, forced to endure an existence<br />of loneliness and insignificance, all because the females of the human species were incapable of seeing<br />the value in me." -- Elliot Rodger<br />
<br />
I almost have to wonder if that guy who went crazy after being rejected so much and went on a killing spree ever tried POF. If you care to read his 100+ plus page manifesto, you can read it here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/05/25/us/shooting-document.html">http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/05/25/us/shooting-document.html</a><br />
<br />
We should be thankful so few of us feel rejection is painful enough to take up arms and hurt others. Rejection hurts. Who HASN'T felt the pain of rejection at some point in our lives? (If you haven't, you're either dead, psychopathic, or both). I have felt it too. However, I just come to my blog and piss and moan, then I go back to the real world and go on with my life. Hell, I don't even bother coming here until I experience a POF disaster. <br />
<br />
So today, I reactivated my account and in like 5 minutes, I had a bite. I wrote a cute, funny profile. She sent a message about being "intrigued" but I had no pic. So I sent one. And she blocked me. Reeeeee-JECTED! either I take shitty selfies or I guess she didn't find me all that. No matter, she was 100 miles away. (I see POF still hasn't fixed the site to note that "local" does not mean every metropolitan area in 3 states, but I digress.) <br />
<br />
So what did I do? I came here. This manifesto is sad, really. We put so much emphasis on the need to be in a relationship, or, more specifically, to be sexual. It is fine for you ladies to be virgins, but men are pressured to be sexual. Still, there are many things you can do besides shoot people just because some woman won't fuck you. <br />
<br />
There's always USA Sex Guide. You can find lots of lonely single ladies and for only $50-$300 per hour, you can go on a date you know will end in sex. Think about it. ALL dating is prostitution. You pay for dinner and a movie, maybe flowers and jewelry and gas and trips and food and cards and other stupid trinkets, and then she leads you on and on and on. Damn, if all you want is sex, why pay for the wine-and-dine when you can dine at the Y? And best of all, no rejection? These chicks bang ugly old dudes who need to OD on Viagra to get it on, so they'll fuck you too. <br />
If only Elliot had bought a "working woman" instead of a gun, we'd have a few less senseless killings. I say legalize prostitution!<br /><br />Later, y'all.

The answer may surprise you<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today's rant isn't about anyone specifically, or even just about POF, although this behavior is common. I just want to get something off my chest. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets face it, no matter what men do on any site-- POF, Meetme, any other dating site or just any social networking site, the expectation is that we are dashing princes with six-pack abs and a matching six figure income. The man is a rich, handsome, and selfless prince who sacrifices all to give the princess a "Happily Ever After" lifestyle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not being facetious. In fact, I am using this analogy intentionally. I believe that this princess mentality goes back to childhood. I know, how Freudian. Well, pull up your couch, because we are (briefly) exploring how our childhood has fostered this princess mentality. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should be no surprise that there is something called the "[Disney] Princess Effect." (Some sources say "Disney Princess Effect and some sources don't add the word Disney.) Obviously, it is easy to invoke the penultimate rags-to-riches princess story, Cinderella. Who isn't familiar with the plot? Poor Cinderella and her "wicked stepsisters and stepmother" who work her to death; denied a chance to go to the ball to meet handsome prince by said wicked stepfamily (note no father or even an elaboration where the father is, at least in the Disney version); altruistic fairy Godmother provides Cinderella the means to go to the Ball (lets face it, good looks isn't enough, you have to pick the right outfit too, ladies. Those glass slippers and magical costume really stands out, you know); Cinderella wows the Prince, and the Prince ultimately saves Cinderella from her life of drudgery and they live <em>happily ever after</em> in the Prince's castle. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets face reality here-- there are not that many Princes in the world, and not all are dashing (Prince Charles, anyone?). Kate Middleton was no commoner (her parents run a successful mail-order business worth millions), nor was Princess Diana. Cinderella appeals to Americans in particular because of the "rags-to-riches" story that embodies another silly myth of our culture, "The American Dream." Not the wrestler, the myth that by simply working hard, you too can become your own rich Prince (forgetting the fact that the post-WW2 "Baby Boom" was the result of a global economic anomaly in which the US was the only country for a time who could supply the world's resources. It is easy to be #1 when the rest of the world was busy rebuilding from the war). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But I digress. There are a number of people who cite this Disney Princess Effect as having a number of lasting and lifelong effects on girls. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peggy Orenstein wrote a book titled "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cinderella-Ate-Daughter-Dispatches-Girlie-Girl/dp/0061711527">Cinderella Ate My Daughter</a>" in 2011. It warns that "premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable." I think she focused a lot on the overt sexualization aspects (we see how many of the women who proclaim "Don't message me for sex" on POF love to pose in sexually suggestive ways), but I am more concerned with other psychological effects, such as the narcissism. The Internet does foster a lot of narcissism-- think selfies and Facebook profiles/ statuses "I just pooped today" or maybe a selfie while on the throne for dramatic effect. And it certainly shows in many POF profiles. I've certainly complained a lot about the demanding profiles on here already, so feel free to refer to earlier posts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combine all that with the these questions from <a href="http://www.neontommy.com/news/2011/01/princess-effect-are-girls-too-tangled-disneys-fantasy">another article on this effect</a> -- But do any of these princess upgrades matter when the stories’ all-is-resolved “happily ever after” always includes marriage? In the more recent movies, Disney Princesses are more "empowered" than ones in the past (Rapunzel and Tiara), but Happily-ever-after still includes the "handsome rich Prince." It poses a good question relevant to online dating. Our current generation are more "empowered" than in times past. More women work and manage the household than in times past. And yet, there is still this obvious expectation that men will be rich, handsome, and generous. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another observation from the <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/print/USA/Society/2011/0924/Little-girls-or-little-women-The-Disney-princess-effect">CSMonitor</a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">"Mary
Finucane started noticing changes in the way her 3-year-old daughter played.
The toddler had stopped running and jumping, and insisted on wearing only
dresses. She sat on the front step quietly – waiting, she said, for her prince.
She seemed less imaginative, less spunky, less interested in the world.... </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She
decided to research the princess phenomenon, and what she found worried her.
She came to believe that the $4 billion Disney Princess empire was the first
step down a path to scarier challenges, from self-objectification to
cyberbullying to unhealthy body images. Finucane, who has a background in play
therapy, started a blog – "Disney Princess Recovery: Bringing Sexy Back
for a Full Refund" – to chronicle her efforts to break the grip of Cinderella,
Belle, Ariel, et al. on her household."</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there is a fair amount of discussion on this topic. However, the focus is on body image more than other psychological issues, such as being an online dating disaster. Why the big focus on body image? All a woman has to do is show a little skin and no matter what she looks like a fair amount of men will say that is hot and they want her. Even the Disney Princesses glam up with dresses, sashes, and makeup, even if the birds and forest creatures don't sing jaunty tunes for you while doing it. So what's the problem?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, Disney merely provides a means of entertainment. Hell, they didn't even create Cinderella; Cinderella has been a fairy tale since at least the 1600s, if not sooner. The REAL problem is.... US! Regular, average people. Well, those of us who are parents, that is. You see, most of us raise our little girls TO BE princesses. Ironically, men are even worse about it. Daddy's little princess. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Think about that for a moment. Who is the most influential person in a child's life, and who sets up the stage for a person's entire life? Who is the person that decides fist and foremost what a child can or can't have? A Parent, that's who. And when a parent teaches a girl that she is a Princess, well, Disney can illustrate princess behavior to a point. The stereotype of the overprotective father isn't far from reality (<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/14/charges-unlikely-for-houston-dad-accused-shooting-daughters-boyfriend/">The recent story of the Texas man shooting her teen daughter's boyfriend in her bed</a> is a recent extreme example of this protective nature). How many of us are teaching our daughters not to "settle," and what do we teach when we say that? What is "settling," for that matter? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets face one more reality here. If you live in a rural community, you married young, maybe even before you went off to college. Many more of us marry during those early college years or right after college. This weeds out many would be suitors. So by the time you are pushing the big 3-0, you are starting to weed through the rest as a granny might sift through the Manager's Specials basket at a grocery store, trying to find something among the slightly dinged cans of soup and the slightly torn boxes of spaghetti and the stuff that expires in a day or two. And yet, here you are looking for the perfect deal out of what is left, demanding perfection while sifting and sifting. Then, the women lament they can't find a "good man." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are plenty of "good men," ladies, but we aren't all "Princes." We're not all rich and handsome (I assure you, rich, handsome people don't use POF to get laid). We are "average Joes." Some work hard but make diddly-squat after taxes. Some of us are a little chunky (after all, "healthy" food isn't cheap. The economy sucks ass. Cars are expensive and, if you live in an urban area, unnecessary to get around. This is 2014, not the 1300s. Go out and get a J-O-B and get your own place and car if that's what you want. After all, wasn't that what the latest Disney Princess did?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And guys, if you have little girls, don't raise them to be selfish, spoiled princesses. You are part of the problem. So, be part of the solution. Be a man and fix this problem. Stop being a passive-aggressive dick to the next generation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hey guys, who among you would date a woman with a headline that sounds like it was written by Lorena Bobbitt? I think it is ironic, given her religion is "Baptist" and her profession is "caregiver." I know the Bible speaks of Eunuchs and it is better to cut off a hand than to sin and all, but I think I will pass on this one. I prefer to keep my penis attached to my body. <br />

This is a good time to bring back a blast from the past...<br />

I haven't been on POF in a couple of months, because like most superheroes, I have a fucking day job. And this is my busy time of the year. You want to know what I do? I deal with psychopaths. Not, not murderers, rapists, and assorted career criminals, but the real scourge of society, politicians. This time of the year when legislatures around the country get together to find new ways to legally sodomize those of us stupid enough to elect them into office. <br />
<br />
But thankfully I have a break from the monotony of drudging through mountains of legal jargon so I thought I would rail on my other favorite group of psychopaths, the POF daters. So now, POF has added yet another tidbit of info to our already self-flagellating profiles, the "Ambition" category. <br />
<br />
As if there wasn't enough for us to feel miserable about, especially those of us judged for not having six-pack abs and six figure incomes. Now you have to tell the world you are either a lazy, slothful bastard or a backstabbing, step-on-toes, conniving psychopath. This is even more damning than trying to find that balance between "I just want a fuck buddy" and "our second date is a wedding chapel in Gatlinburg." Fuck. <br />
<br />
So pick your poison. All sound shitty to me. <br />

You probably weigh as much as the house you live in. <br />
<br />
SOMEWHAT AMBITIOUS: You probably still live with your mom but you have a dead end job and maybe have a paid subscription to a couple of pr0n sites. But at least you may meet the base minimum requirements of having a "house, car and J-O-B" if you are smart enough to explain it properly. <br />
<br />
AMBITIOUS: You are a self-serving prick who treats people like chattel and you don't mind stabbing people in the back to selling off your child to get what you really want in life. <br />
<br />
VERY AMBITIOUS: The ultimate prick. Unlike the regular ambitious person, you have likely backstabbed someone with an actual knife. You probably mutilated defenseless animals and set fires at some point in your life, but decided your sadism is a better match for the sycophants of Corporate America, who take your abuse and come back for more, and that psychological torture is far more satisfying than flat out killing people. <br />
<br />
If you think I'm full of shit, <a href="http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2012/10/26/wisdom-psychopaths-dutton/">consider the fact that psychopaths thrive in Corporate America</a>. Bad bosses are likely to be psychopaths. This, of course, extends to the dating scene. The thing that really annoys me is how many "ambitious" women still demand a man be willing to take care of them financially instead of making their own money (or, to use the basic term, a "gold digger"). How about this, ladies. YOU go get a house, a car, and a J-O-B. <br /><br />The good news is now, I can pick women with little to no ambition, so I can avoid the psychopaths out there.

I need a favor. Does anyone have a ghetto-to-English translator? If so, please decipher this shite. This is the epitome of bad grammar and spelling. This is the Alabama Crimson Tide dynasty of bad English. <br />
<br />
This brings up an important question. At what age should be people quit talking like this?

Demands to be spoiled, high maintenance, that sort of thing. I think the more appropriate would be "gold digger," since high maintenance and spoiled usually means "buy me stuff." <br />
<br />
Okay, lets be honest, if you are on POF it is generally because you don't have a lot of money, and POF is free for the most part. So why are so many WOMEN expecting a man with "their shit together" in such a bad economy? If you're looking for a "one percenter," you're on the wrong website. <br />
<br />
Here is a prime example, from a profile in my local area:<br />

<br />
First off, the reason so many people in their 30s are "broke, no job, no car" is because we have a crappy economy. Lady, you live in a metropolitan area consistently ranked as one of the 10 poorest cities in America. <br />
<br />
Second-- FOUR kids? Not just kids at that, "bratty ass kids!" That world doesn't have room for a man. Who wants a ready-made family? Not me. <br />
<br />
Third, high-maintenance and want to be treated like a princess." As I already stated, it screams "gold digger." <br />
<br />
On the up side, she's "independent." She doesn't really NEED a man. That's a relief. <br />
<br />
I beg to differ on her opinion of herself as an "amazing" girl. But see, you women think you can write this shit, sound like a total bitch, and guys are going to eat it up because you're a thin blonde bimbo. But she got knocked up four times so apparently men find her hot enough, I guess. She's definitely not for me.<br />
<br />
Here is the thing. Many men won't date women with kids. I don't blame them. America is a liability minded culture, and kids are a liability. To use the cliché, kids bring lots of "drama." Babby daddy drama, junior gets sick at school, and kids get attached to people way too quickly, so if you're not trying hard to be a heartless bastard, you grow an attachment to them as well. Of course, in the back of everyone's mind is the false allegation thing, and no one wants that kind of drama. Kid free is the way to be. It sounds mean but it is true.<br />
<br />
Good lucking finding a rich man, princess. Your handsome prince isn't on POF.

<span class="txtGrey size14">"I am a baggage toting drama king who is
only going to date you to get back at the ex. Therefore you must be
hotter than hell, or at least hotter than my ex. Being thin, blonde, and
bouncy gets top billing.<br /><br />If you want to get into my pants, you
must have your own place-- not living in your momma's basement. You must
have a car, and the nicer the better, so no Mickey D's wrappers and
baby goo on the floor and seats. And it is imperative you have a J-O-B
(Don't you love it when I am so condescending I feel the need to spell
it letter by letter?); and not just a job, but a "career." if you want
"bling," work for it, and if you think that sex is a fair trade for
financial secutiry, you want the escort site, not POF. <br /><br />I don't
have a car so the burden falls upon you to drive me around. See my
requirements above. I guess since I don't have a car this means I'm a
fat lazy slob as opposed to being down on my luck because some beeyotch
took me for a ride and cleaned out my account or my company downsized,
which brings me to point number two, I don't have a job either. I don't
need one because I think I look hot and if i show a little cleavage and
flash a winning smile, I don't need to have either while expecting a
member of the opposite sex to have one of their own. <br /><br />Ladies, for
the love of God, please stop messaging me for sex. I prefer the frigid
and callous women who won't put out and love to play silly head games at
POF. That's my kind of woman. Ooh, and it turns me on even more when
you ladies lie about what you want. And I am more turned on when you
take selfies of your bosoms and legs while demanding I don't drool like
Homer Simpson staring at a stake.</span><br />
<br />
Know what else I love? Women that refer to their pets as "fur babies" and pamper them like children. If you talk about your pets as if you gave birth to them, I can't help but to question your sexuality. You do realize bestiality is still a crime in most states, except maybe Kentucky. <br />
<br />
Even more so, I love those of you who are so unimaginative you feel the need to use tired clichéd movie and song titled. I love sifting through the hundreds of "Must Love Dogs," "There's something 'bout a truck," and "Sleepless in _____" headlines, they are just so catchy and stand out among the thousands of other unimaginative women who do this who also select "hopeless romantic" as their personality. Hopeless? Try helpless. <br />
<span class="txtGrey size14"><br />So if you are as fake and as
demanding as I am, HMU. If you don't know what that means, then introduc
yourself to a search engine.

<br />
Here's the deal-- if you don't use the "search" function to narrow your search, and pick one of those six random women at the top of every profile page, or that "online' function, you can get someone in a metropolitan are 100+ miles away. <br />
<br />
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio (Chilitown USA, BTW), and I don't consider Columbus OH, Dayton OH, Louisville KY, Lexington KY, or Indianapolis IN "local." Let me put it to you this way-- if you don't even have a Skyline Chili or Gold Star Chili restaurant in your neighborhood, you are not "local" to me. <br />
<br />
As you can imagine, I have had my moments where I finally see an intriguing profile, and I want to send a message. But wait! I need to pull out the Atlas (they still make those things) and find some town called "Xenia, Ohio." Or "Pikeville, Kentucky." Personally, I'd like to date someone from Intercourse, Pennsylvania, but instead I dated the woman from Hell, Michigan (well, if you're gonna get hitched <a href="http://www.gotohellmi.com/gethellwed">you may as well go to Hell while you're at it</a>).<br />
<br />

Aside from getting a regional geography lesson, there is another small issue-- the fact we haven't had reasonable gas prices since the Clinton administration. Unless you can afford a hybrid, those gas prices become a factor in decision making. Forget love conquering all, Big Oil conquers love. <br />
<br />
Maybe instead of "looking for sparks," you should be looking for someone combustible instead. <br />
<br />
Bottom Line:<br />

Please ladies, RETIRE THE PIXIE CUT!!!! <br />
<br />
So today, I found a profile on POF that was so bad, I just had to come here and cap on it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCeJMwvkv4a4QvOHVFuYYvobgDpcKkn6WDUEni0AJ7mmX6S6UGZpozA_I9MqdUVs51vBAwc-iLC4IpIjub4NXiJiPhWSLIG7bInDFQxz6FTIOwJigvehKWRJib1sQrMr6FkR-fGmI2w3Hq/s1600/pof-beiber-hair-lady.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCeJMwvkv4a4QvOHVFuYYvobgDpcKkn6WDUEni0AJ7mmX6S6UGZpozA_I9MqdUVs51vBAwc-iLC4IpIjub4NXiJiPhWSLIG7bInDFQxz6FTIOwJigvehKWRJib1sQrMr6FkR-fGmI2w3Hq/s1600/pof-beiber-hair-lady.jpg" height="232" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
There are three things inherently wrong with this profile. Number one-- BEIBER HAIR IN PINK! Need I say more?<br />
<br />
Number two, This person is a HAIR STYLIST! What scares me even more is the thought that a hair stylst would think Pink Beiber Hair (tm) is hot. <br />
<br />
Number three, while selecting she doesn't want a "serious relationship," (and we all know what "wants to date but nothing serious" means on POF, wink wink nudge nudge), it is mandatory you have a house, job, and car. There is a term that would describe this kind of behavior. Oh yes, GOLD DIGGER. (Well, maybe "hooker," but only if a guy has a Beiber fetish).<br />
<br />
Well, I was wrong about the tattooed artsy types. I always thought they were anti-Capitalist, hippie lover types, but I was wrong. So guys, if you love the Bieber look and want a fling, do I have the gal for you!Angry POF Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16555152190590299421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563468416119771930.post-81981226588571153582013-11-04T21:39:00.001-08:002013-11-08T08:13:40.806-08:00Its my [pity] party and I'll cry if I want to...I don't like being mean. Angry, yes, mean no. It just isn't my thing. But I am bitter. So I am goofing off on POF, looking at the pathetic profiles of women looking like... well, does anyone remember the Simpson's episode where Homer and Marge break up and Homer stays in the apartment building for divorced men, with all the wailing and gnashing of teeth (and I think a suicide?). I can't remember the exact episode, but I digress. The point is, despite women having it made on the site, as proven by my now infamous Angie POF Gal experiment, woman still complain in droves of their impotence at finding a hot guy online. Cry me a fucking river. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7VhqVL76WeBy0E0wiNOyemGON4CaodkXZlsis1GzgXViIFxcz2mBW38Q9qhpJdltb-OND_rTRrjDqK-kw623gpKli32UGtvjUOXB-5T-KqogXupQMD95vX0T_cXT6lTABg8cHAhKmFV4M/s1600/t-texting.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7VhqVL76WeBy0E0wiNOyemGON4CaodkXZlsis1GzgXViIFxcz2mBW38Q9qhpJdltb-OND_rTRrjDqK-kw623gpKli32UGtvjUOXB-5T-KqogXupQMD95vX0T_cXT6lTABg8cHAhKmFV4M/s1600/t-texting.png" height="136" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So here is a prime example. I have a hard time pitying her because she turned down a friend of mine for a date (because remember, men, nice guys finish last), and now we see her lamenting like her misfortune over not finding someone on POF. You can call it the angry, cynical personality talking here, but I believe that many women come to POF with expectations befitting of an Air Force slogan-- Aim High. <br />
<br />
In the end, it is like walking down skid row seeing the same winos boozing it up and begging for change for years on end. I can leave POF (which I did because I found someone), come back (because the someone I found sucked and not in the pleasurable way), and see the SAME FUCKING PEOPLE. Then again, if I'm going back there it means I'm also a loser, so maybe I shouldn't take that thought any further, for ego's sake. <br />
<br />
Ladies, lower your expectations. <br />

A POF Success StoryTrue story-- I have a brother who lives in another state. He married young. How young? Young enough to need his parents to sign the legal documents allowing the marriage (I'm trying not to give out TMI here). So he's been married since the Bush administration--Bush Sr., that is, not "Dubya." <br />
<br />
At any rate, after over two decades of marital...um, bliss (Or Hell, depending on perspective), my brother and his wife are getting a divorce. And since the wifey pulled a Jerry Springer Show and shacked up with another man, my brother decided to upgrade to a better woman. So guess where he landed? Good ole' POF. The same fucking site that has been a thorn in my side since Bush #2 was in office. <br />
<br />
And would you believe by brother found love on the first try? WHAT! THE! FUCK!<br />
<br />
He did what took me three years to achieve -- a date. And he did what I could never do, find someone to love. How? He should write a fucking book. Seriously. He needs to buy my lottery tickets. If he visits me as he's threatened to every year since I moved back up north, we're hitting the casinos and the Mega Millions. <br />

someone. That latter part means I haven't needed to waste my time strutting like a peacock on POF. Instead, I donned a chicken hat for Oktoberfest. <br />
<br />
The thought of even returning to POF is like extracting teeth. And yet, how many of us not only return to POF but feel the need to proclaim that fact as if it is some kind of mark of infamy. Has the US Government started handing out medals of honor for our failures on an online dating site? They must be, or people wouldn't brag about it so much. yeah, I've done three tours of duty at POF, been shot in the heart and was a POW (of love) for X years before escaping. <br />
<br />
It should be a prerequisite for those returning to POF to explain exactly how they ended up on POF, especially if they found love and then lost it. At least going to POF would be more entertaining. I really have no POF stories of note-- I quit out of annoyance. Thrice. (Who says thrice anymore? Me. That's who.)<br />
<br />
So I could share a random dating disaster story for shits and giggles.<br />

I once dated a "Gothic Chick" when I was in my 20s. She was younger than me, which is a rare thing for me, as I am a certified Cougar Hunter (tm). It was fairly intense. She even had me wear her spiked collar, which led to many offers of Kibbles and Bits from my co-workers. At any rate, we dated a couple of months and on my birthday, we went to a rock concert. She was always hanging around this girl she claimed was her cousin. So back to this rock concert-- as I'm making out with my girlfriend, her cousin gives me the Evil Eye. I asked my girlfriend what's up with her cousin, and her reply was the cousin just wanted me.<br />
<br />
Well, after we broke up, I ran into a friend of the Gothic Chick. As you may have suspected, this cousin was not her cousin. The day I dumped Gothic Chick, she informed me she was bisexual and had a girlfriend. Well, her friend informed me this "cousin" was actually Gothic Chick's girlfriend! And to think I bought the cousin's concert ticket as well.<br />
<br />
To think, I was the only one out of the loop here. I honestly didn't know. I was pissed at the time but now I think it's fucking hilarious. No, I wasn't offered a Three-Way (and not the Skyline Chili kind), but if she offered I would have said HELL NO! I'd prefer the Skyline Chili 3-way because it is tasty. I never liked this "cousin." But I digress. <br />
<br />
Does a bad date beat no date at all? I guess at the time we all think so. Maybe that's why we keep going back to POF. For some of us, what other alternative do we have?<br />
<br />
I do have some POF dating disasters, though they don't beat the Goth Gal story. Maybe I'll share them on a bad day.

In the interest of fairness, I took the advice of a reader and, for a week, I took on the persona of the "Angie POF Gal." So, after walking a mile in virtual high heels, the time has come to settle the age old question-- just how different are men and women on the online dating sites. <br />
<br />
Allow me to take a moment and get the stuffy methodology out of the way. As I explained in Part 1, I created a profile that was simple and non-threatening, even a bit suggestive. I used the picture of a woman I once dated who lives three states away so no one would suspect anything. I did nothing to bring attention to "Angie." Angie read no profiles or sent any messages. Angie simply logged in and waited. <br />
<br />
Angie didn't have to wait long to get responses. In the first three hours (on a lazy Sunday morning), Angie got 25 messages. By Monday, Angie had gotten close to 70. I had real life work to do, so during the week I had not spent much time logging Angie in. But by the end of the week, Angie had received 125 messages and 147 people wanted to "meet" Angie.<br />
<br />
I was hoping for some o those legendary nasty opening messages that women claim to get regularly. I have to say I found NO evidence of that occurring. Sadly, messages to Angie were mundane. Nearly all were of the following theme -- "Hi, how are you, you're beautiful, I'm [insert name], do you want to meet/ chat?" At least half were little more than one or two words, "hi/ hey beautiful." Angie got one cheesy "did it fall when you fell from heaven?" I almost broke kayfabe when I read it. I wanted to reply, "No, I landed on two naked people in the Garden of Eden and I was so grateful I made them an apple pie." <br />

Of course, I did see a few losers -- a couple of guys with names like "$hort dog" (dollar-hort dog? Is it kosher?), Bigstud (big as in fat, and more dud than stud), and "inches deep" (two inches maybe?). I did see a few shirtless pics of moobs (I guess shirtless pics are the equivalent of the from-the-top cleavage shot the ladies love to do), bathroom selfies (geez, the ladies look silly doing it, men look that much worse) and one person used LIFESTYLE CONDOMS as his profile pics, and another had a penis as his pic. <br />
<br />
But all in all, I saw nothing that shows than men act crazier than the women on this site. Whether it was like this BEFORE POF changed their dating policies to weed out the assholes sooner, I cannot tell. POF has changed a bit lately. In fact, a couple of the 100+ people contacting Angie had a deleted profile. Who knows why?<br />
<br />
Before I move on, I have to rant for a second. I saw a fair amount of behavior on both men's AND women's profiles. Yes, we're all looking for love (or sex), but I was amazed at how many men piss and moan about their online dating woes or how much POF sucks and how many people are fake/ game players, etc. I could almost cut and paste many of my rants about women, change the words to men, and repost, and it would save me a LOT of typing. <br />
<br />
So, can we finally put the stereotype of black men preferring "thick women" and white men preferring skinny blondes to rest? We should. As I mentioned in Part 1, Cincy is pretty close to even when it comes to racial demographics (53% white/43% black). But what I found interesting is the demographic of Angie's potential suitors. <br />
<br />
Of the 125 people who messaged Angie, 37 were black, 76 were white, 7 were Other Races, 5 were unknown (they were deleted or had no pic). Of the 149 who wanted to "meet" Angie, 28 were black, 115 were white, 4 were other races, and 4 were unknown (no pic). If you believe the stereotype, given the demographics, you should expect the numbers of whites and blacks courting Angie to be even or even favoring blacks. Well, the numbers say otherwise. The discrepancies between the "meet" group and the message group is smaller among black men than with white men. <br />
<br />
I can reasonable conclude that the myth about the preferences of white men and black men are dispelled. Also, it is obvious that the black men are more apt to at least say hi rather than just play with the "meet me" feature than the white men. And no, dick pic or Lifestyles man did not message Angie (and if you care to know, they were both white). <br />
<br />
Only 4 sent more than one message, but no one resorted to angry messages. <br />
<br />
After playing Angie POF Gal for a week, I have come to this conclusion-- the only thing separating the men from the women on this site is the attention factor. Women don't have to work for attention. "Angie" was, after all, a gal I dated who was 5'2, brunette, and "thick" (170 but shapely). She wasn't a supermodel but pretty. I suppose I could try with other shapes and sizes someday. But regardless, "Angie" had a problem I could only dream about with my real profile-- the amount of interested people. I could tally in every message I ever received with my real profile in three years and multiply it by 10 and not got what "Angie" got in a day. men are more forthcoming. It is no secret. <br />
<br />
Men can act like jerks, and men can piss and moan about rejection (and Lord knows I'm a master of it at times) but I think women tend to be a bit more sensitive to the negativity of the site. <br />
<br />
Ladies-- Please, stop bitching about the quality of the men. You have set ridiculously high standards and have your pick of hundreds of suitors. If you don't like the ones messaging you, read a few profiles and strike up a virtual conversation. It isn't that hard!<br />
<br />
Guys-- Stop bitching about women who don't message you back. They get hundreds of messages PER DAY! And for the few of you who do this, please, no shirtless pics, sick dick pics, degrading headlines, and the like (if you refer to a woman as a "bitch" the only bitch you'll ever get is the four legged kind). <br />
<br />
I guess I'll keep Angie around a little bit, so I may rant more in the future. Angry POF Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16555152190590299421noreply@blogger.com0
