Dating site results for an I.T. Minded person

Reality of Dating Sites

Was on a dating site and searching through women on it. Talked to a few and got a few good responses that ended up going nowhere. Met a few and paid a minimum of $45 a meal only to have the women laugh as they were getting out of the car and saying “Good luck in your search for a woman the site works”… Really? why is she still single?
but I found a pretty lady who in her profile says she is an “I.T. recruiter”. I’m boggled by this title so I strike up what I figure was a polite conversation.
She flips out.
Oh the site was called “plenty of Fish” So “looking for a date” is called “fishing” there.

What the heck is an i.t. recruiter? I work i.t. and simply got hired.
My ex says sheis an i.t. recruiter, but comes to me for the simplest tasks. I personally don’t want to know anything about her, so i don’t ask. But seriously wtf is an i.t. recruiter?
Not bashing. Just expressing serious interest and reason.

Now, why the name calling?
Was a valid question.
Well. I wish you good luck at fishing.

It’s actually not a valid question seeing as it’s 2012 & every company known to man has some sort of IT Dept

Look. Im really not wanting to argue, at all.
I understand what i.t stands for. Have no clue what an “i.t. recuiter” is.
As I said, I work i.t. and was not “recruited”.
I’ll just assume phone solicitor to sell some sort cloud back up crap.

Happy fishing.

Oh my…that’s just sad. Recruiters…of any kind…work with clients to help fill their open positions. You should never assume…it just makes an ass out of you. Please don’t send me another message.

My last message. Honest.
I really was trying to get a conversation going with you. I wish I would have caught you at a better time .

I’m not here for “a hook up” . And so far, your the best package deal I have seen on this damn place yet. Your not looking for someone to buy you stuff.
Or give you computer.
You’re not writing me in slang.

I think you will find mrRight. When you are a little happier.

So.. block me.. ill block you in a little while when i know you’ve had time to read this.

I won’t be blocking you bc it’s not that big of a deal. You didn’t catch me at a bad time. Not knowing what an IT Recruiter is in 2012 is what did you in. And you used ‘your’ twice above when it should have been ‘you’re’.

Cell phone, with poorly calibrated touch pad, and the slowest processor available. Haven’t overclocked this one yet. So, waiting for text to catch up is not an option that I have patience for. My mistake.
I still have no clue what you do

Good thing that I don’t need to.
Because I then would have to explain what I do, and typically, sales people never understand half of it.

Well I think I am done with this method of dating. Seemed like it would be a perfect way to meet a woman. Since in the real world, the women you meet get kind of turned off by the fact that I can sometimes get lost for hours or days on end in code.

there needs to be a different way. Or a way to weed out the women from dating sites who put in their profile “I don’t like computers” or “I spend all of my time outside enjoying life and living happily” those women usually frown upon guys that sit at their computer. Reality says “woman go out there and find those guys, leaves us i.t. guy in our world”.
but no. We still get the bar flies out looking for one more guy to pay her tab.

Plenty Of Fish and stolen Identity

 

Plenty of Fish

Plenty of Fish

 

I made an account for plenty of fish about 2 years ago. Part of the process of creating an account on Plenty of fish is you have to upload a picture of yourself so people have something to look at. So I did that. I uploaded a picture and began my try at the free dating site. I was very pleased at all the features and usage you can get from plenty of Fish all for free. Without needing some “gold plus members special help mode points” to do any of the normal every day stuff.

I ran into  a bunch of women who in less than three interactions on the site asked me what my yearly income was. To me that is just messed up and crummy standards. How about talk to me and see if I am interesting first.  So I stopped going to Plenty of Fish. A year later I popped back in and found pretty much the same thing.

Here I am again on vacation looking for stuff to do so I go back to Plenty of Fish to poke around the site.

and now my identity has been stolen.

Here I send a message to a lady on Plenty of Fish, and ask her where she took her picture because the scene is just breath taking. Check out the crazy response I got

The girl went nuts on me

our first interaction

 

So I say “Woah Waoh…. What?” and she responds with this

Second interaction from the girl on plenty of fish

Our second part to the conversation

 

Then I upload another picture of myself and say “look I am the guy in that picture, can you please give me the link to the guy that is using my picture so I can get him taken care of?” and she responds with this.

Then I tell her ” Hey look I have a myspace profile, and a facebook profile with many more pictures, if you want, we can meet at the police station and I can bring a physical copy of the picture you think I stole and prove that I am me and make you think twice about that guy you call your friend”. and this is the response I get

Response #4 on Plenty of Fish

And then she fricken blocks me. She never gave me the link to the guy that stole picture. I would not doubt she gave him the link to my profile, to prove what ever… and the freak has stolen my latest picture.

She is real. Here is what her profile looked like

Crazy Girl's Profile on plenty of fish

Crazy Girl's Profile

 

So I head to the forums for Plenty of Fish and leave a simple post titled “someone is using my picture” and then one line in the post that says ” someone on here is using my image and I need to prove them fake with more pictures of me. any help?”. that post was up for all of about 30 seconds before moderators deleted it. No contact from the site at all, in my email or on my private messages as to how to resolve the issue. I looked all over their site for help, didn’t find any so I had made that post.

I am left to assume that the lady in question is not who she says she is and is just another fake. Probably a guy trying to play a prank on his friend, and well, getting a message from a guy freaked him out.

 

Plenty of fish is messed up.

How Facebook could actually be Sociable

How Facebook could actually be Sociable.
Have you ever stumbled into a person’s pictures or statements and wanted to comment or at least click the like button?
If facebook would make it okay to click the like button on open profile pictures, facebook would actually become sociable. Otherwise you have to click the person’s profile and request to be their friend to send them a comment and that could take days or weeks. by then you forgot what the heck it was all about. but a person who logs in and sees that someone likes something, they know what it was and who it is that likes it. It is then up to the that person to initiate further interaction. This would allow the person who’s item is being liked, to know if their stuff is being publicized to the full masses. Because really, who starts the conversation ‘hey I stumbled into your pictures, you may want to hide them from the public, okay, bye bye”. but you get a like on an image you can say “oh crap, that picture was supposed to be private, I must have done something wrong, I will go fix that now”.
or add a flirt button of some sort. Sure it will get played with a bit, but it will serve it’s purpose. We need more, and it sure isn’t advertisements we need, but hey if they can add advertisements to something new, go for it, just give us something new that is fun for us.
We date. We look for people to date. No facebook isn’t a dating site, but it sure could have a side option.

Match Might be Digging to much Personal Information

A woman got violated while on a date that she set up on Match.com. So now Match is going to screen users for background checks to weed out sexual offenders. To many people this sounds great. but what if the woman met the man by old school means. like in a bar or at the grocery store or while picking up her grand mother from the old folks home? Would the owner of the facility be responsible for not screening the people that come in to their facility? This leads to lots of innocent people getting violated by an imperfect system. This is people’s private records, identification numbers, driver license numbers and social security number obtained by a piddly website that has lots of spam bots in it’s system, holding information that could lead to your personal identity being stolen.
With the fall of epsilon being hacked by grade school kids, we need to not visit a website that wants this kind of legal right to request such personal information.
Sure safety is great and you can think that if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about. Great, paint your social security number on the side of you car and think that no one reads anything or knows what to do with it any way.
The more you fall into trying to secure things and make it safer, the more vulnerable you make yourself.

I personally am not giving up the legal right to dig into my legal records.

I am offended by how open the news and media is about this. Just because a woman may have got groped or what ever the case is, you should not violate the rest of the planet. If you feel unsafe being there after reading the end user license agreement, then leave and don’t come back.
I actually tried Match many years ago. It took almost 8 years to get match.com to stop sending me emails saying that someone was wanting to talk to me.I canceled my account and still got notice that someone wanted to talk to me, so I would foolishly log back in every two or three years and re-activate my account, and then find that I had no emails, no person wanting to contact me.
To me, these are foul tactics. And chances are, Match is the trooper to get a new law out that will sweep across all websites. and in doing so Match will get more advertisement for it’s self than it has ever had in it’s 10-15 years active.
funny thing is, I bet I get an email from them telling me to update my information or my account will be deleted. I bet this repeats it’s self twice a week for the next three years.

My two cents.

Dating Sites Review

There have seen many dating sites come and then go. Lots of these dating sites use some dirty methods to keep you interested. Like fake messages of someone is looking for you, or that there are great matches in your email. Don’t even try and remove yourself from the email, list.

But I found one good dating site. A real dating site that lets you actually meet people.

After the millions of Dating sites I have stopped in and got confused by (okay maybe like ten and they all seemed the same….spammy).
Being single again, I find it a great time to wander over and get me a good review out of the top two dating sites. That’s right, Plenty of Fish and Tagged.
After 1 week of Learning the systems of tagged and p.o.f., I feel I can make a fair judgment of the two sites.
Plenty of Fish
Is 100% free for everything you need to meet someone. There are added features when you pay.
Plenty of Fish loads very fast.
There is a “Meet Me” section, much like “hot or not’. You get to hit yes, no, maybe on the meet me page. Really a great option to add the maybe. because I do not know if maybe when you hit no, does that person never show up again? Hit maybe just in case you have to lower your standards or it turns out that’s the best this place has to offer, or just one picture of 20 that is bad.
if you click on yes for “meet me” That person gets a notice that you want to meet them.They then get to respond and tell you “okay” or “um sorry but I met someone already”.

With in 4 days, my Message email was full. Full of messages from real women in my area. Educated women from my area. To me this is very promising.

Tagged
Very similar to Plenty of Fish, you get the “meet me” option, but you don’t get the “maybe” button. it’s a yes or no options only, kind of thing. I am not certain about other cities, but here in Houston, there are tons of No. Like 8-12 no, to 1 yes. Lots of spam. Lots of really trashy women on Tagged (Houston).
Tagged forces you to get pay a monthly fee to see who appreciates that you like them and want to know you back.
There have been a few accounts where I got messages saying that someone responded to me wanting to meet them, but i was directed to sign up for VIP. So I went back through the people I wanted to meet. They were no where in the list. So tagged has set a bad impression to me.
I have been propositioned by what I think is a prostitute on Tagged. Um… no thanks.

All of the matches I recieved from tagged where in other states.

With in 4 days, my messages were full, of spam and messages that made Zero sense. Look people, do not add anything from that site to your yahoo messenger. It would be in your best interest to not even start that problem.

I found nothing interesting in tagged.com. The site isn’t even a dating site much. Tagged is more of a video game farm and bombardment of fake love matching spam.

Of the two sites. I have to give the high score to plenty of fish.
It won’t hurt you to try both and your results may come out different from mine. but don’t get your hopes up on that.
Plenty of Fish seems to be a better class of people. People who can actually type a legible message to you. I have yet to get spam from P.O.F.
So in the End. Plenty of Fish is winner, hands down.

Online Dating Sites 09 Review

Actually, They are all scams and full of pervs, Piggies and F tards.

We have all come to know this over the past 16 years or so. In 09 one site popped up that seems to be full of rednecks and tardos. There are enough of them out there that the site actually gets plenty of traffic. So guys, gals, if you are hard up try that site. I will tell you the sites name in due time.

See there are cheap unscrupulous ways to advertise your domain. The method that i hate the most is where it is spammed out with completely unrelated topics to what the site has. see there was a site that sent out ” look how I got rich” links all over myspace and and all over facebook and in your email and every freaking place on the internet. The site did not have anything to do with getting rich, other than to say ” I placed advertisements on my social network and got millions of  people on my site in one day, I am a millionaire”. The real people without sloping foreheads know darn well the guy who created that site probably had 50 legit users and maybe 300 fake accounts registered to one email address so he could maintain them all. People would click that “get rich quick ” link and  find a “meet your love” website being referenced. we all know that society understands that people without money, are without love. or wanting out of the broke love they are in.So his scam worked. We all know that someone too stupid to see the scam would clearly be to stupid to to see what’s coming next.

Plenty Of Fish. The site has millions of advertisements on it. Placed in what the site owner would call “strategic” methods. I say it’s  BS and completely disrespectful to put advertisements in the manor that site owner does. Sure it makes the site owner some money, but what does it do to the user? Depends on how stupid the user is.

Here is a list of bad things about that site that makes me thing of the old websites that used to bombard you in spam.

1. affiliate/advertisement links look exactly like site navigation links (yes you can design and color them as you wish)

2. Full page advertisements, Leaves you surfing a site that is not the site you where on. Disrespectful to your users

3. Not controlling advertisement content. I got hit 4 times with virus scan 2009 hijacker (it is a well known virus) plus adult friend finder links prove the site owner does not  filter their ads, otherwise the ads would not compete with the site. Adult friend finder is a well known trash advertisement site that is filled with the same issues this site is showing. I would not doubt it’s the same people.

4. No adsense advertisement. Yeah I bash adsense but I have to say, once you are banned from adsense, it pretty much says you are pretty tricky.

I have a sense of feeling that the Method that site uses to select your suitable matches, is based on how long you wait for the next time you refresh while on that page. Oh and with the slight measure of adding whether you are a smoker or not.. it matches you to people who have answers similar to yours, how about do something better, people who have answers that  cover what you lack and you cover what they lack.

The whole answering of the survey is BS, just another page for you to see more advertisements, and when you are done, be taken to more advertisements.

The page to see what you are about , the results of your surveys, is complete bs ” you are king of your domain, you are yourself and proud and eat food when needed” Oh come on it’s an ego petting, like getting your palm read.

The whole chemistry page, I have a feeling the people it sets as your highest match, are thepeople who get the highest votes in the “hot or not”  rip off page.

Everything 75% and below is probably more like it.. yes the worn leather hand bag looking  section. lol sit on that page five minutes or more without changing anything on the site… hit refresh and get a laugh as suddenly  your matches change.. yeah I know people change their profiles and stuff, but COME ON!!!

I saw the site back when it was a get rich advertisement. I heard about it from my co-worker who met like 5 girls in a two week period ( I understand why now, Piggy farm). I stumbled across it last night while doing a search in google for “Houston Chatroom”. well Plenty of Fish came up everytime i searched in every way I tried. Well so i figured what the heck I signed up to use the chatroom. After fifteen minutes of their bombardment of  profile crap, I forgot why i was there and started surfing the site. Gross. The women are nasty. Either super unattractive, or saddle bags for a harley ( I mean biker chicks with leather faces). or money hungry stripper trash with IN THEIR PROFILE it says ” you must make atleast XXX,XXX money to ride me” , or hot  in model positions and never online I assume fake accounts.

Well never the less, I never found the chatroom. There is no chatroom on plenty of fish. I would give the place  80% higher  value if they had what they meta tag their site with. it would actually be worth looking at and could potentially be ground moving if it allowed direct real time chatroom inter mingling  like a chatroom, not that stupid messenger  thing on all the other sites. real time chat conversation, that is where you actually get to know the wit of someone. Not some bs profile.

Burn it down. Plenty of fish is a bad place. The women are vultures. ” I don’t need a man to support me” and then the following line will say “must have good income and nice home” ok could somehow be innocent but I do not see it . Next line says “because I have needs and if you can’t  be there for my needs then you are worthless to me”

What pathetic self hating dude can fall for that garbage ?

PS… Yes I named it stupid to prove a point about what they did.

E-harmony and Friend Finder and Match, have very limited social interface. They all offer you a chance to get a bigger account by paying more.. Why? so I can talk to no one, as freely as I can? I think those three sites lose bad to Plenty of Fish. And that is sad. it is truly sad that anything can lose to that garbage.

I deleted my accounts on all of them, There was one female there on plenty of fish who seemed worth talking to. But really, she came to my profile way to fast. I felt like  a baby bunny getting swarmed by buzzards and vultures and eagles. And they all made me feel crappy about myself. I do not like feeling that way. I mean hey I just got here can you please not read me the fricken riot act ?????

If you want to know me talk to me. If you ask me anything about my income within the first 20 questions of conversation, I can only assume you are a gold digger. That to me makes you worthless.
