My girlfriend is meeting up with a guy she met on the free dating site, Plenty of Fish, which by the way, has to be one of the worst menageries of desperate/horny/creepy/pathetic men I've ever seen on a dating site. My dear friend has a "date" with a guy who is unemployed, lost his license (claims it's due to speeding tickets, but I smell a DUI), and has ADHD - why would you tell somebody that before you met them??
His online profile was a gem: his interests included "porn, Howard Stern, eating, and intimate moments". Swoon! And, is "intimate moments" another way of saying he likes sex, or does he really like the special, quiet time between him and his lady in a candlelit room, covered with rose petals? I'm guessing it's code for nailing some chick against a wall, while some lesbian 3-way porno plays in the background, and his plate of manicotti gets cold.
I could be wrong, but this guy sounds like a real loser.
I'm glad I'm of the sane mind that I would rather wait for a quality guy than to date just anybody because I didn't want to be alone.
My friend is going to drive an hour to see this guy, go out for some lame dinner, and then watch a movie at his apartment, and will most likely, have sex with the guy. Some guys call for their pizza to be delivered, and others call for their casual sex to be delivered. Whatever works, I guess!

I embarrassingly signed up for POF but it wasn't too bad. The guy I'm seeing kind of regular is amazing and treats me better than I've probably ever been treated. Of course, if I read that dudes profile, I would have sent some snarky message and moved on. Ugh.
I met my current boyfriend (and the love of my life) on POF. And yet, I can't disagree with you here - it's pretty pathetic as far as dating sites go. He was the diamond in the rough, believe me, and I was surprised to have ever met anyone who could compose a legible email from that site.
We joke often about how sad that site is and how we need to create another "How We Met" story for our wedding day and future children but thus far we've come up with nothing believable. We're working on it though...
Also, just as a disclaimer, neither of us ever dated anyone else we had met on that site. The only reason we each gave the other a chance was seriously because we each composed A.) a funny, well-written profile and B.) a funny, well-written response.
The only thing I'm going off of is all the horrible profiles my friend has been forwarding me, ha. I can't believe some of the dating profiles. They're usually misspelled, in all caps, or just lame. And, the guys, oh my dear lord, the guys are ridiculous: shirtless, clueless, and brainless - and in my girlfriend's guy's case, JOBLESS.
I'm glad to hear it has worked for you two. I have another girlfriend who met her guy on Match, but he also had a profile on POF, and he's a catch :) Anything is possible, I guess.
I was talking with my friend at work about this the other day. Here in Florida, it seems like all the girls are into this "chase the guys who treat them like crap all over the place" phase. Is it a self esteem issue? You have all these nice, normal, pretty girls chasing after these guys that are just complete jerks who treat them like crap. These girls are buying them lunch, driving them around in their cars, always trying to please them, and just getting screwed over. I don't get it.
Todd, this is a classic case for many girls, and it doesn't matter how smart or beautiful they are. Although self-esteem is a factor, there are actually many reasons involved: loneliness, desperation, lack of confidence, and impatience, just to name a few.
It's really sad because there are great guys out there, but some women don't want to wait to meet them, so they settle for assholes who treat them like shit.
I'll admit it: I have been one of those girls, but that was in my 20s, when I had self-esteem issues and I was kind of a moron when it came to guys, ha. The less you expect, the less you will get. Women need to value themselves more and set higher standards.
Also, women love bad boys/head cases because they think that they will be able to magically change them into great guys; it's the ultimate challenge, and it rarely happens.
