Yes really, What part of Not single/Not looking, only here for the forums is so hard to understand ?
I like most joined while single, and then after meeting someone I went out and deleted my profiles from every dating site I had ever used, except this one as the forums are just too interesting to give up.
( And yes my girlfriend knows )
What surprises me or used too anyway, (after seeing this thread and some of the posts, I suppose it won’t anymore) are some of the unsolicited emails I’ve gotten from judgmental and high horse riding women that felt it necessary to chastise me, and accuse me of having some nefarious intentions for continuing to have a profile, even one so clearly marked as not looking and or interested in anything other than the forums on a dating site.
I suppose in retrospect I should feel sorry for them, apparently something or someone in their past has caused them to be so distrustful of others that they are incapable of ever trusting again, thus most likely dooming themselves to a life of loneliness as most guys would run from a relationship with someone with these type issues.

LMAO!!
And yeah, if I met someone I would keep the profile. I'd probably put no pic or a pic of me and him and I would give him the password too or we'd share the account. It's not a personal email really..... | |

Posted: 2/24/2009 9:46:54 AM | | Yes really. Shocker. I was in a relationship while I was on the site and honestly just looking at the forums. The Relationship forums will often have some good advice for coping with certain situations that may arise in a relationship. It's always good to have different opinions. If a person openly states on their profile that they're in a relationship, why treat it with so much skepticism? | |

As most people know who have been on ANY dating sight for ANY length of time, very few folks will bother to READ profiles or even HEADLINES! There is a simple SOLUTION. And it works. Post a "proper" pic. IF you feel like it. Or want to avoid
"annoying" closed minded people. "Problem" solved. | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 2:02:02 PM | So if the forums is all a person 's here for then, is a picture really necessary? I guess what you'll come back with is "I want people in the forum to see me". I suppose that's possible.
I had my picture down for a while...
I don't particularly care if others forum users see me - I just felt a little like a ghost when I had it down, and I usually scroll through threads really quickly and look for my picture so I know where the new posts are. That didn't work as well with just my username.
No extraordinary reason to put it back up, but there wasn't a pressing need to keep it down, either. I'm *not looking*...I'm not dead. | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 2:22:37 PM | | Ya know, some people can be devious and classless. To categorize all of the ones who keep a profile as classless is in itself devoid of any class. My profile does not disspear if I date someone. I add one simple line to it - "Currently dating. Friends welcome. Penpals, always.". Now maybe my profile sucks anyways, maybe I'm ugly lol! Whatever the reason I have had no problem with anyone wanting something more when that is posted on my profile. Fact is, despite my small town, I find women outside PoF! I still enjoy cooresponding and I will not drop my small social network just because someone becomes a dating interest in my life. Stop being so jaded. | |

Yeah they say they aren't looking, then they ask you out. You're all a bunch of bullshitters if you think that you are just here for the forums.
If I plan to cheat, why would I list Not Looking/Not Single? Why would people say they are in relationship. If people wish to cheat it seem more practicle to pretend to be single | |

They are full of it! You don't go on a dating site to write blogs, when you are in a committed relationship. They are looking for someone else and they just want it known they are in a relationship. DON"T trust them!
What part of DATING site don't people understand? Do you go to the dentist to pick up rolls for dinner?
Yes, Blessed631, there is a Santa... oops, I meant people on this "dating site" that really, truly AREN'T dating! Really really truly! Just read the previous five pages of posts!
I don't see how ANYONE could read my profile and think that I'm looking to date anyone. I'm absolutely in a committed relationship and yes, he knows I still have my membership here, yes, he knows the profile was hidden when I started dating him, and yes, he knows that I read and post in the forums, and yes, he knows my user name and can feel free to read anything I post any time he wants. Hell, if he asked I'd give him the password so he could read the emails too. Nothing to hide from him, you see?
Nothing complicated or false about it, regardless of what site they are located on, these are easy to use and usually fun forums to be involved in... not to mention very informative at times, LOL!
You sure sound very harsh and judgmental about this, you might want to consider the possibility that you might be mistaken here?
Oh, and by the way, no, I wouldn't pick up rolls for dinner at the dentist, but one of the office assistants there does make these sugar-free, fat-free muffins that are actually very delicious... I'm always happy when she's working when I'm there! Hmmm... now I want to call for an appointment. | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 6:03:01 PM | Well, well, well, I, too, have just read five pages of comments from folks who are here, but not for dating, just for the forums....I have no problem with that,
EXCEPT
How can I be SURE there ARE some guys on here who ARE for dating????????? (That may be more of a problem than the OP who has problems understanding "relationships" AND "friendships".)....
My profile is here, my pictures are here, my forums are here, my comments are here, and whether I'm dating or not at any particular time, I've never posted a word that I have regretted.
Just My Thoughts,
KK | |

I've noticed quite a few of you say you have boyfriends/girlfriends, yet you have a profile on a singles site....and you claim you're here just for the threads? I've also seen some girls' profiles and they say they have a boyfriend but they're looking for friends....really?
 ^^^some people remain to be a constant form of amusement. | |
