Because I'm an optimist with a college degree I earned (not slept with the prof for) and new to POF, let me say that it's been so far, so good.

I've met a true Southern gentleman who has a professional and a personal life as well as a lawyer. The first one is looking good and we have a pending lunch date.

My only complaints about POF are the number of motorcycle-riding badasses who, if I met them in person on the street, would likely make me clutch my purse that much tighter as I race-walked by them.

And what's with all the adrenaline junkies? I'm all for a good time, but the weekend warriors who dress like their kids appear to have outnumbered the stable, literate, established men!

I've read complaints here re: women who delete men's emails, comments without giving a reason for their actions. We're entitled to delete as we choose, just like the men, and it's for the same reason: lack of interest. Deal and move on!

Don't waste your time badgering us with "You should've read my email." and other abusive demands. Or keep emailing us. That's harassment. And a chargeable offense. Not to mention hard copy evidence which can be admitted into a court of law!

Lastly, about the profile photos. People, keep them as current as possible and be yourselves. That's probably wishful thinking, but wouldn't it be better than meeting someone you're instantly disappointed with?

If you're expecting Brad Pitt and you meet "It Came from the Pit", how thrilled would you be?
