So we were supposed to go out ten pin bolwing Sat night - she cancels as she's "out with the family and won't be back until later, but you are welocme to come over".
Then later that evening get another text "Not feeling well so going straight to bed when I get home, but do you still want to do something tomorrow?".

Next day get a text: "Still feeling unwell - lets do something next weekend, and I can come in for lunch next week perhaps?"

This is when I decided enough is enough.

So I confronted her about her being actively online - (I made up a story about how a mate of mine saw she had been online a number of days this week)

Her reply was that "in the 2 years on POF I have made friends from all around the world - I don't have to explanation anything to you, if you have trust issues thats your problem".

So I replied not to paint herself as the victim here, that rather than accuse me of trust issues, its about respect. I advised her that you can hide your online status, change your relationship status, and also asked how come if she is just on that site to make "friends around the world" that she has her mail settings as "must live in New Zealand" - because that means only guys in New Zealand can contact her.....if she wants to advertise herself as single and be active in POF online searches then I am not comfortable with that.

Heres my take: This woman wants her cake and eat it too, is probably addicted to attention whoring on POF.
To me POF is a pure pick up joint, a dry singles bar or whatever you want to call it.
I have no doubt she has been flirting with other guys - call me old fashioned - but to me its no different than the girl you are going out with going off to a singles bar without you and seeking attention from single guys - why the need to do that if she is with me?

I've been through some good times with this woman this past month, but it is pretty much over.

Again - the dangers of investing and believing in one woman. Time to spin plates.

If she's been on that site for two friggen years, that tells you everything you need to know. Attention Wh0re, serial dater, player, won't ever be satisfied, always looking for someone better, etc. Bad, bad news.

Like I said on your other thread, women become addicted to the attention like its a drug. "I'm new to online dating" = another one into the gutter.

You've been dating her for less than a month. So any issues you have with her being on POF are your problem, not hers.

I'll be damned if I date some girl for a month and she thinks I'm cutting myself from all other options. So, in turn, this woman has the right to continue looking.

And I'm not sticking up for the female. I'm sticking up for logic. You've been dating her for a few weeks, and for whatever reason you've convinced yourself that you're "going steady."

Mate she told me she wanted to "go on a journey through life" with me. If thats not going steady then what is?
But, thanks for your input.

In my neck of the woods (and I mean that literally), POF consists of the fatties and crazies. I tried it a while back and kept meeting girls who had ballooned up several sizes since their pictures. I took my profile down. OkCupid was about the same with a few decent ones, but those were bombarded with messages. (I have two decent looking girls I know who tried it and they told me that they got so many messages that they only picked the hottest guys to respond to, who just pumped and dumped them). I gave up on the online game. It's no good for me. Good luck to you boys who can make it work.
 

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.

Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.

This will quickly drive all women away from you.

And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

Yes, but more importantly...

Who cares what she says? It's just words.

And also importantly...

Who commits to a woman after less than a month of dating? You seem to be forgetting the fact that no matter what she told you, you're the one who desperately sunk your claws into this woman. What were you expecting from this woman you barely know? A white picket fence and happily ever after? Sure, maybe 4 or 5 months from now, you'd want some type of commitment. Right now? No.

A woman you've just begun dating should be nothing more than a source of entertainment. She's not going to fill some void in your life...especially after 3 weeks of dating.

White picket fence - not. A steady girlfriend for a change - yes, believe it or not I enjoyed her company, enjoyed the fvcking and was enjoying the break from endless sarging.

Anyway - you are right what I was expecting from this woman and what I got did not correlate with what I thought I would get.

Lesson learned.
