    hhhmmm I've been doing some interesting reading this evening.

    I went through all the pages of matches for me on POF and the amount of guys matched to me that do not meet my criterion is unbelievable.

    There are smokers in there, guys looking for intimate encounters, in different countries...

    Does this happen with anyone else or is mine just broked?

    Stupid I'm not getting into a tit-for-tat with you over this, you misinterpreted what GC said and he has clarified his position since.

    End of.

    that's put me in my place :rolleyes:

    I'm going over to the corner to have a little cry now... :( :pac:

    no i didn't call you hate filled. i was saying your comment was.

    anyway back on topic - i've noticed that all of the match results I have for the first 3/4 pages are the same all the time. really is a small world.

    yes, talk about a mountain and a molehill.

    You mis read my comment, refuse to believe it could mean ANYTHING other than what you interpreted it to be, despite clarification, and yet you won't let it go....

    I'm going back to my corner now.... :)

    This is my last comment on this. By saying it COULD be implied, that is hardly refusing to believe it could mean ANYTHING other than what I interpreted it to be. Like I have said numerous times, I was pointing out that it was a rational interpretation. That clearly does not rule out other interpretations. All I am defending are my posts and SUN's by association (where I was just pointing out what you possibly did not intend to say, which is actually the opposite of jumping down your throat).

    I'm not refusing to believe your clarification, I don't really care. I'm just defending my initial right to infer a perfectly reasonable meaning to your post. Whether it is right or wrong is irrelevant. If you just calmly said, "actually I just mean X, sorry for the mix-up", I'd have said fair enough and returned to ogling Rachel Allen.

    What I got in return was to called crazy and attacked. Yet we are the unreasonable pair. I see.

    Oh..... Oh god that's bad..... No, fortunately i've not done that.


    However once upon a time a friend of my brother in laws younger brother stayed with my sister and the brother in law. He was there for 4 days after coming back from mainland europe or something but was waiting on his parents to come and collect him.... They knocked on the door and only at THAT point did my sister realise that her house guest was actually our cousin!!!

    So, I just checked my hidden users list on OKCupid.

    Wow, there's a lot of people on there.

    do you have to set it up to hide people, or is it automatic?

    You just click a button and it hides them. If I contact someone and they don't reply, I hide their profile, or if I know them and would rather not see them, or for various reasons like that. It's a really handy feature!

    Damn, that is a handy one!!! Would save an lot of inadvertent online stalking!! :pac:

    It's one of the reasons why I find POF hard to use - you can't hide people, so there's no way of avoiding certain ones you don't want to see.

    Yeah searching gets annoying when you continually see the same faces that either you have ignored or that have ignored you or that you just don't want to see for whatever reason. I liken it to de-cluttering the search.

    Ok, get Mags to explain it, because he does all the voices and tells it well.

    I am 100% writing a song about it, it's what I do.

    No, never emailed a cousin, though I have spotted a few old friends and said hello. They didn't reply... embarrassment all over the shop on their part I imagine.

    Wow, that IS pretty handy. There's one girl that I keep getting matched with, but her profile is painfully pretentious and there's no physical attraction there... think she's going into the hide bin.

    Awww, is that because you tried to walk through the drive-through and it said "motorized vehicles only" ? Awww... *hugs*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,752 ✭✭✭cyrusdvirus


    Ok Denise, i'll ask ya out then and you can reject my ass too. Will that make up for it??

    It'll be a double whammy, cause I think I subtly tried to ask her out too :p:p

    PoF needs some sort of forum for this kind of playful banter, how is anyone meant to truly convey themselves in a static page. Tough so it is, tough.

    Lucky Denise gettin asked out by everyone :L

    It's what happens when she questions the bravery of the Irish male :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,746 ✭✭✭✭Misticles


    Ha, Irish men brave? More like cocky for the most part!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    Controversial!!
    I think there can be a thin line between brave and cocky, luckily I'm shy so chances are I don't cross that line too often


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    So I bit the bullet and decided to go back to POF, but I'm already slightly disheartened by the people on there. Not too sure how long I can be bothered with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,185 ✭✭✭Snoopy1


    Well i joined POF thursday, and have a possible date tonight :D

    :o:o:o Awwww you guys ;)
    I prefer the men in here to POF so far thats for sure!
    Yeah it would be great if there was some sort of chat room in POF like MBF (although the MBF one has usually less than 6 people in there!)

    Must have been VERY subtle Fewcifur :P
