Lots of people, guys and girls, recommend Plenty of Fish online dating (which I dub Plenty-Of-Flesh) because it’s free. I’ve been a member there twice now, and I haven’t been impressed either time.
The site places a lot of emphasis on photos, which has led to people judging one another not by their messages, but solely by looks. I’m not impressed with the forum moderator either, who has a firm yet obnoxious and stuck-up attitude to posts that raise questionable suggestions issues, even with the site.
Many of the people there have been rude and/or full of hot air, both in the forums and through messaging. Even the friendliest of messages went ignored - the sent messages list proved extremely helpful in finding out just where they were going.
Plenty of Fish advertises itself as a dating site, which is my biggest disappointment: the only people who’d enjoy Plenty of Fish are the average loud, outgoing people who already have “great” lives and have no intention of being serious.
As with most other places I’d suggest someone experience it for themselves, if only for them to reach their own conclusion. I’ve had much better results with Match and Perfect Match.
Hi, I've been a matchmaker for many years and have experience with just about every dating site out there. I have thoroughly reviewed and rated the best
Charles might be a young guy that wants to start a family fresh… and I dont blame him. I have been a single mother for 17 years and all of you know how hard it is to blend the families… Todays divorce rate has caused alot of us to be in this situation, but it doesnt mean we have the right to bash someone who doesnt want the baggage. I wont even date someone who doesnt have or want children, they have no idea what my life is really like.
There are good and bad of both genders on these sites. I’ve not had great luck perhaps because I’m older and of a larger size. But then again, the average woman in this country is a size 14. I did meet someone I spent time with who claimed to be looking for “one woman for life.” That turned out to be a lie. He’s just looking for Internet titillation as are so many men on these sites. If that’s what someone wants, just email “fun” then say so and leave the rest of us alone who are actually seeking real life friendships and more. As for beauty, it’s in the eye of the beholder. Ever notice how we don’t judge our friends for their looks? Why the, are we so harsh on potential new friends? This is not a shopping network for a new “pet” is it? Obviously, it is just that for some. To the good people on here, do not let your self-image be hurt by those kind of people. You don’t need them. Let them suffer in the misery of their own making. And never apologize for having children. They are blessings. Anyone who doesn’t realize that is just, well, a sad, sorry person.
Hello My Dear,
As I can empathize with your situation and I commend you on being a good and loving mother, as that is by far the most important job in the entire world. My comment to you and possibly some advice when putting your feelings down on a public place for all to read…do a bit of editing and spell checking before you post it. And if you wish to be considered serious and ‘genuine’, then try not to use so many ‘hip’ slang type verbages.
I do not know your age but as I was a very young single mother myself I understand that the obsticles young people have to get through, let alone trying to raise a child is sometimes overwhelming.
My thoughts to you, as I’m now a grandmother of 3 beautiful grandsons is to take a few moments (or as long as you may need) to reflect on your thoughts and feelings, take the positive from the experience and move on. Do not dwell. Learn from it. And don’t forget to smile…your child will be forever imprinted by your actions and behavior.
Peace!
Kathi
