irc333 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Interesting...I had been corresponding with this woman in my area back and forth, but she told me she felt considering our distance, it wouldn't be a good fit. I was fine with that. But turns out she ALSO deleted her entire profile. I have heard stories of profiles disappearing after someone even had been on a date with them. Like they would go out on a date with them, things would go well, then one day their entire profile disappears. It's very strange. Kind of makes you wonder if YOU were personally their "one last shot" and if there's no spark...they give up online dating altogether? 1
MidwestUSA Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I think any of us that did OLD for any length of time hit a point where we realized we've scraped the bottom of the barrel. The whole thing becomes an exercise in disgust, the lesser of the evils. I'd rather be a crazy old cat lady.
carhill Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Yep, I did that a number of times, both on the old American Singles, later on Yahoo and Match. When I decide to move on, poof. Pretty unremarkable, IMO. People move on every day. It's just the nature of database erasures and people having some sort of expectation regarding data being around forever that drives the dynamic. I'm actually surprised if seeing an old profile still viewable. I figured they forgot about it
preraph Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 People who aren't really who they say they are, of which there are plenty trolling dating sites on the internet, frequently keep several pages of fake people and develop relationships on them. Then if they get bored, they delete it -- or more importantly, if someone is wanting to meet, they delete it and disappear. Your woman was probably either a fake person, possibly not even a woman, or a real internet ho only interested if you're paying.

Highly doubtful that any one dating site user is going to be that important to any other dating site user. More likely, it will be the other user's general, long-term experience that would lead them to delete a profile on any particular site...or they met someone else and that interaction/relationship is going well enough that they no longer feel the need to maintain their profile(s).
Phoe Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 When I deleted my profile it was because I had found someone. I must've seemingly went "poof" on the handful of guys that had been messaging back and forth with me at that time.
jcrew11 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Actually, I think a deleted profile can look the same as a "blocked profile" so you may think the person is deleted, but they actually just "blocked you" for whatever reason, and they don't want to be contacted by you anymore. That's how these websites work, sure they might really be deleted, but there is a "BLOCK BUTTON" for a reason, and they function by appearing to delete the other person's account.
the tank Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Online dating is too much work for the outcome. I met few woman but never got on a serious relationship.... you can talk a week and never met the girl. The ratio is better if go talk to woman in real life .. Many woman go on old only to get a better self-esteem but never plan to meet man. I just talk one week with a girl, ask her out, she saw the message , but didnt answer.

JourneyLady Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Funny, I just pulled mine from POF, though I might leave it up on OKC a bit longer... Why, you ask? Well, date#1 (with 7 dates) was great enough to pull it for before, but fizzled as he was still looking after telling me he would pull his profiles and be exclusive. Date # 2 - Nice guy, but never asked me out after the first meeting. He said we could "go out if I want" and I said "sure! I will leave time and place to you. and we exchanged phone numbers. A week and he never called me. The only other two were guys who live too far away, a guy who was abusive because I didn't hang on the private message line constantly, and a couple of guys who think merely saying "hi" will lead to something... Then there's the guy who stayed up a bit to talk to me, but says absolutely nothing now. I want to concentrate on more fruitful pursuits. I'm only using pay sites now, though if someone *really* wanted to find me, they probably could from the details I have left...

Kind of makes you wonder if YOU were personally their "one last shot" and if there's no spark...they give up online dating altogether? It could go either way. Sometimes it just becomes too much trouble to keep answering messages from people who really don't want to meet you -- especially those sites that allow chat. There's a lot of people who want to just be online and chat and not actually meet anyone and they waste your (and my) time. Private messaging is not really supposed to be like yahoo messenger anyway.
TheyCallMeOx Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I disabled my profile when I realized there wasn't a lot of women in my area that were willing to date me. Part of why staying single for a year is so great is because when a year comes by, I'll have new opportunity. Not gonna date a woman 75 miles away. **** that.

I used to have an okcupid account that would get deleted but I eventually found out that it was a glitch in their system. It wasn't what you think, a girl writes to the webmaster about her horrible experience and the admin deletes you. Don't worry about. Also, about women deleting their profile, it happens on the time, don't worry about it.

Allumere Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I have hidden my profile as well as deleted....either had gotten serious with someone or tired of spending money. That said, if I someone emailed me I always responded and if it was someone I regular spoke with I told them I had meet someone. 1
