It's now saying we have to pay to see who's interested in us, or like us? Why do that, when you can come here, right?

I haven't heard anything about that.
Maybe the site just singled you out for some reason...lol
but if it is the case.
either, that's my excuse to finally leave the place.
Or its a good thing, because likely I wouldn't date from this place anyway.....

They recently switched positions on the "no" and "yes" on the Wants to meet section too.
So all of us who just clicked on "no" over and over simply to see the next photo are now, if they are not paying attention, clicking on "yes".
I assume they did this so more people will get "yes" results and so hopefully pay to see who is "interested" in them

POF does the same thing. But recently they fixed a loophole where the alert told you who wanted to meet you but when you went into see it in the menu, it would prompt you to upgrade. You could simply manually type the usename into the search by username and gain access to their profile without paying.
Now the alert says "Someone" wants to meet you, instead of their username.
POF is a joke anyways. Of the top 5 "prospects", 3 completely ignored me and one blocked me.

Try clicking on the 'like me' button because I just did it again and it said you need a credit card. Not that I'm gonna do that. I rather wait it out than to pay out of desperation.

Don't update the app or roll back the update and you can still see them. Not that it does any good. The ones who say yes in my area *shudder*
Those prospects are and always have been laughable. At any given time I have most of the top prospects for me blocked. Great matching algorithm *eye roll*

The one thing that has always been nice about this forum is the ability to block. You don't have to see inane posts if you don't choose to. Interaction is why "trolls and nutcases" post. If they are blocked they aren't getting the interaction they crave. They can all just converse among themselves and people looking for intelligent discourse can do the same.

well....I finally blocked one here after 4 years of blocking no one.
The forum I started out on...was at that time the """"greatest"""" bar none....forum on the internet.
We had no monitors at all....period.
There was C.S. in L.A. but you had to call them long distance to talk with them.
We had a few unwritten rules by the regulars on the forums.
1) you don't delete a thread, because it didn't go the way you wanted (there, a person could delete their thread.
2) you don't flag.
3) you don't block.
4) if a person comes on the forums...who is a bad troll, a person playing games with other people...or just a person the general forum does feel is good for the forums, or a trouble maker.
the rest of the people of the forums....runs their a** off the forums.
This forum now? is likely the worse forum on the internet....Why?
1) the site sold....the monitors that protect the forums are not used anymore.
2) the general people here....won't run these trouble makers and trolls off the forum.
and the net result is....the better people start leaving the place....leaving just a few of them left....and everyone else is a troll, or problem person.
So..excuse me, If I'm the type to run from responsibility by blocking everyone.

I was on POF for a while...I didn't have a problem getting women, it was easy..but they were not in that age group....more like mid 40's and up.
but one girl about 20, emailed me and wanted to I.M thru our email address sites.
That's too young for me, but there was nothing else to do....so I thought, lets see what her game or gimmick is.
Well, she wanted to cam....get naked, and have me tell her what to do to herself.
She was serious....so what the hell....I did...

I've seen it. It's part of the "Meet Me" section of this site. They have little red numbers on the icons telling you how many ppl like you. But when you click to see they say you gotta pay to find out.
Plus you use to be able to view profiles of ppl BEFORE you click "wanting to meet them" but now you can't.
Just recently you can't accept ppl as friends anymore. Several women sent me friend request and when I clicked Yes it was a blank screen and they were never added.

This is correct bcoz it use to be a "maybe" in between Yes and No AND an option to view their profile underneath the pic.
It also told you their age and show other pics from their profiles too.
But not anymore, not since they changed it.

This is very interesting and ALWAYS made since to me...
We're all grown a** adults here. Why the hell does ANYONE need to click on "Like Me" or "Want to Meet Me?"
You go to their profile and send them a message, that's all.
Just like with that "wink" buckshot!!! I seen several women say "If a woman send you a wink that means she's interested and men should reply back with SOMETHING OTHER THAN Hi or another wink bcoz its boring!"
Really!?
Then why would they send a wink in the rest place if it's so "unacceptable?" And why expect a man to be "The Master of Conversation" if all YOU can do is say hi or send a wink?

I agree and no offense to anyone but after encountering the selection of women on DH, even if it only cost a buck ($1) if would still be $5-$10 too much.
Never have I seen so much bitterness and damage in one place before.

The meet me, wink, making someone a favorite, etc. - all of the passive aggressive stuff is just bullshit. I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't respond to someone who did it.
As you stated; we are adults. If I am interested I have no issue sending a first contact message and either being ignored or shot down. I would hope a grown man would feel the same.

Shit with over half of these women in here that really is unable to love a man sending a wink to the ones I didn't expect to be such a woman I am glad they have the wink shit it saves time.

I have stopped looking on the dating side all together. Years ago DH was worth it. I had a lot of 1st dates. Sure most didn't result in a second but it was fun. Had a lot of good conversations and some online buddies...now
And of course the forums now vs back then

I've only been on here about a year, in the forums that is, but I haven't really noticed any change other than more hateful threads and posting perhaps.
As for the "freands list" I got a friend request just the other day, I didn't accept, I already consider the lady to be a friend and just see no point in the friends list thing.
I have read many times recently about the friends request not working. Do any of you still have a friends list and use the friends only chat?
Picky was the first one from the forums that I carried on any dialog with, she is the reason I came here to post in the first place.

Back in the old days of moderation the friends list thing was good because it then allowed you access to the Friends only chat forum. These are uncensored so it was usually full of your friends showing their twats and c*cks. (not so much the thumbs up for the c*cks btw)

Well I can understand that the friends only chat could have been good but I've never used it. So are you saying that the friends only chat does not work at all now?
Perhaps I'll try accepting a friend the next time someone tries to friend me and see if it works for me.
Thanks for the feedback dan and gran.
