Oh you boys and your creative adjectives. Plenty of Fish rarely lets me down. I changed my profile on POF to say, “All I am looking for is someone to shovel my driveway in the winter, and to mow the lawn in the summer – is that really too much to ask?”
Apparently it’s not…
“Hi beautiful lady..How are you doing today? I came across your profile and trust me it was spell bounding. I couldn’t resist to know more about you.”
Apparently me wanting a man to do man chores is spell bounding.
However- I did the same experiment on OKCupid, and I am not getting quite as many messages as before. More proof behind if you are somewhat intelligent and actually looking for a relationship – OKCupid is the better site to be on. POF is full of dudes without their shirt on – telling girls who don’t like “man work” that they are spell bounding.
I never tried pof but I did match and eharmony and hated both of them…then I did okcupid last year and in 9 attempts (in about 9 months) I’ve met my perfect partner and we’re living together. The other 8 were all good guys and I dated 3 of them.
So eventually it was worth it, but a very interesting journey. The trick for me was to always have 3 guys going at once, that way if one dropped off it didn’t bother me so much. As I rejected I was rejected, so it all kind of worked itself out. I learned not to take it personally. The most fun was coming up with
nicknames for the guys (officer friendly, guy#7, quality was the guy I ended up with)
