POF

Omg! It was the most online dating fun ever.

I waited so long at an appointment I got bored and registered to  Plenty of Fish.com. I was considering re-upping my subscription to Match, but my results were so poor I couldn't justify the money. So, as Donald Trump says "You're fired" and I joined POF.

I knew about POF from my brother, a brilliant man who knows a lot about everything and proceeds to tell you about it. Since he had no trouble sweet talking a number of women on POF  I dedcied to jump right in, especially since it was free, so I signed up.

I posted the best picture I've made in the last century or at least the past two years.  You're not going to attract attention with a bad photo. Then, I thought about my husband and all the little quirky things I loved and wrote

I like to have a good time doing most anything. I prefer being outside so I like going to festivals, hiking in parks, laying by the water and enjoying nature. I'm a foodie who loves to cook and try new things. My idea of a good time is a day trip to discover a cool place. I'm into history and enjoy exploring historical places. I like watching PBS Ken Burns, Band of Brothers, Godfather. I'm a hometown tourist so enjoy all the offerings of Nashville. I have wide musical tastes from country, rock and classical. Looking for a running buddy to explore and have fun with.  

Ladies, within 30 minutes, I was talking to real men  who wanted to make me an offer that I couldn't refuse.  The first day I had  email from15 different men. And they weren't creepy sounding at all.

I'm on the verge of closing a date. The funny part of it is that he was one of the first I spoke with  when I got on Match but he lost interest. I didn't bring up that we had spoke before. He's interested, he's excited and ready to meet me where ever I say. I never got that interest from Match.com. I'm hooked on Plenty of Fish.

So I checked my Match account and the last thing in my inbox is my hasta la vista email to Mr. "I have 12 kids". OMG, no comparison.

But now you have to sort through all of the percentage of walking wounded.

Like this guy.

I was married 3 times # 1 and 3 had affairs . I have forgiven but will not live in that. I have 2 daughters

So I responded

If you want to get a date, don't bring up marital problems in your first email.

Not really. I weirded myself out thinking about pissing off an unstable person and sent him the "it wasn't clicking and good luck" email. It's always a good plan to not to tease the bear.
