Plentyoffish profile lies

A lot of profiles on this site contain total lies. Several members have posted "I will reply to all messages" in their profiles, however, they do not reply. I'm amazed by it really. I've messaged a few members who have posted that line, or something similar on their profiles, yet I've not had a single reply. Some of them haven't even read the messages. In the "sent messages" window, it will tell you if the messages have been read or not, and it will also tell you if the message has been deleted. I've had a few with "Unread Deleted". Why aren't members taking the time to read the messages, especially if their profiles say they "will reply to all messages".

One member I messaged had the headline "Not like other girls.". That turned out to be very misleading because she didn't reply either. That would technically make her like all the other ladies I've messaged on that site. There's no difference between her and every other member I've messaged so far. I know I'm not like the most interesting guy on that site because to be honest, I have no friends offline, I don't go out drinking because I hate the taste of alcohol, and I have no real social life due to that. So, my topics of conversation are really limited to things I can do daily, which is basically restricted to taking random walks, playing video games, watching movies and talking to friends online. Instead, I try to talk about anything I can think of. Things that could be of some interest to others. Childhood memories, pets, music, movies.

One thing I have mentioned to every member I've messaged so far is a childhood memory of my dog. She was a female golden labrador named Tammy who turned out to be a great source of humor to people in primary school, due to the fact I'd misheard her name. I originally thought it was "Tummy". It's amusing to look back at now, but at the time I had no idea why everyone was constantly coming up to me and asking what her name was, then bursting out laughing when I said it. I wonder why I didn't realise sooner how stupid a dog named "Tummy" would be.

I have alot of weird and horrible childhood memories though. When I was about 7, a friend, my brother, and I were all playing in the football field just across the road from where I live. I can't remember what we were playing exactly. I can only remember the horrible accident I had on the way back home. I was walking a little way behind my brother and my friend. They'd gotten across the road safely. I, however, wasn't so lucky. I was run down by a white car. It was a fairly foggy day, and this car didn't have it's headlights on, so when I did see it, it was too late really. That's not really the worse part of it. The worse part of it was when I got back to school after that. You would expect a teacher to be caring, asking if I was alright. However, this teacher blamed me for the entire thing! She said it was all my fault for running into the car. I wouldn't purposely run into a car trying to kill myself. Hell, if I were that suicidal, I don't think I would've bothered trying to save myself when I almost drowned in a public pool. That's not a nice story either.

What happened on that occasion was weird to say the least. I can't remember exactly how I ended up in a situation where I went underwater and had problems trying to resurface again. But, I found out how uncaring people can be. I was clearly struggling for my life, yet the people around me, and even the pool guard just appeared to be watching. Nobody even tried to help. This is one reason why I am terrified to go swimming anymore.
