Well of course I would. How silly is it to be on a personals site when you're in a relationship? Is it okay to go to bars and chat up the opposite sex whom are looking for relationships? lol
I like the forums, but there are others not specified to dating that I could chat on.

I only still come here because I get a lot out of the forums. I state pretty clear in my profile that I am taken. I have hidden my profiles on the other sites I'm on, and disabled my messengers on them. I still have friends in other states and such that we keep each other updated with what we're doing and stuff on there so I wont be deleting it entirely just yet.

of course... why wouldn't you if you found one that click with. If they keep their profile active and presue other partners then thats just wront. How can you truly enjoy the one you found if your always looking for something else.

If you stay on for the forums and that is stated in your profile then thats different.

Point well taken but sometimes Fantasy is addicitive and reality...is a job, bills, sitting in front a tv...hum drum..yadda yadda...when fantasy takes you to satin pillows, discussion of traveling..beaches..IM chit chats...men/women find fantasy much more enticing than the real thing..that's why most get bored with the real thing and chase after that fantasy........

yes definately, though my profile clearly states what im on here for, if he didnt want me to be on here then i wouldnt be
i would also galdly give up my password to let him know he had nothing to worry about

my profile has no mention at all about men and the kind of person i am looking for, simply because im not looking
i understand where the trust issue comes into it,if you feel the need to keep looking at the opposite sex on this site then obviously you are not totally happy with who you are with and are hoping that maybe someone better may come along, if thats so then you are not being fair to yourself or the person you are with. i like the forums, love reading what people post and can also help with things going on in our lives but i definately wouldnt log in here at daft o clock just to see who has been checking out my profile.

Im happy with my guy...why would i need to look elsewhere

Would you give up the personals if you found a good relationship that sticks????


I am not here for friends. I am here on the off chance that "the one that sticks" will, possibly, find me here waiting for her, or visa versa. Once I find one that sticks, I will be gone.

I would. I would have no reason to because I would spend the time on here with showing her the love she asked for and more.

To me, it seems that if you WANT a relationship to "stick," common sense dictates that keeping yourself "on the market" is counter-productive and will ensure that it most likely will not.


Well put !!!

Keeping a few Fish on the Hook makes an Individual come across to another person with a greater lightness of being, feeling more on Top of the World, more at Ease, etc. when Abundunce is at Hand and the Threat of Potential Loss is not important to a Person.
Possibly the Reason some People get a "High" out of playing with Others.

Not too different from any told Lie, it also moves an Individual out of Character, thus is not being him/herself, which will show up at a later Point in Time ...

I've met someone from another site and we've been seeing each other for about a month (so very early days). He was already chatting to a couple of female friends when we got together and we agreed that he would tell them he was seeing someone and likewise if I get mails when I'm looking at the forums I let that person know the same.

Is a month too soon to either come off the site or update my profile to say I'm seeing someone?

When I have someone at home to talk to and do things with... I won't be caring much about what you guys are talking about here.

I might go find some politics discussion forum, instead of one that has a "meet more people" base theme. But I wouldn't spend as much time there as I do here.

And yes, I admit that I probably spend more time on here than I should. But I have a lot of time and not a lot to do with it.

Right now, I'm a forum junkie. There's a lot worse things to be "addicted" to...

edit:

Hmm... just noted that I replied to this thread before....

In a heartbeat..Okay the forums, well they're a bit addicting, but easy enough to give up.

Hmmmm, let's see, you find: a good heart/ soul, kind, caring, sincere individual. Someone also looking for what you are and you found each other. You get along very well, there's chemistry, you enjoy each others company.They stick And you Stick to them also.Gotta go..

Lets see the equation here: You + him+dating site=OVER!

You + Him = Match..

yeah, not a tough decision here.

In a heart beat!..IT's really the only way things could work out..Anyone who still clings to the personals even in the guise of friendships, is fooling only themselves..Yes, you do have to have trust between you, but staying on a dating/personals site after you have found someone that is what you want or you are trying to have a relationship with, makes no sense..It's a backup plan or a way to have your cake and eat it too and I frankly do not want a man like that in my life!....

With all that said, if i were lucky enough to find someone and he felt the same as I, then I would say adios to the personals and this site..


God Bless

I would give up this site in a second!! Besides - I'm not a good multi-man-tasker and can only concentrate on one person at a time!

No way ! If I were to find someone really CUTE off of here and we didn't cheat on each other and we didn't try to take one another for our fortunes then SURE I would vacate this site.

I would definitely. as a matter of fact when i was with my ex Fiance I took my ad off and once I was over him put it back on. so I would see no reason to stay if I had found someone .

Personally,

I like the forums and the advice my peers offer on here. So, no...I would not remove myself. I would, however, state on my profile that I had found someone I truly care about, and that I am only here for support and advice. I feel it is an honesty issue, rather than a "stop your life for me" issue. I have met friends here, that only contact me through POF. But in honesty, I would take myself out of the loop, and declare myself "caught!" HOOK LINE AND SINKER in bold caps on my profile.

In a heartbeat!

The forums are great but I'd shut my account down as soon as I felt I had something special with someone. Matter of fact, I did, turned out "special" to me was nowhere near as "special" to him. Alas, life goes on.

POF is great entertainment, but... I'd much rather entertain and be entertained by a special someone than you goofballs in the forums.
Really, you guys are great, but a "significant otter"... *sighs*...

When you find something special, treat it as such or it will surely go away!

Personally, not right away....

WHY !.... it takes time to build and solidify a relationship....the human mind is complex and works in strange ways.....

Surely you have seen great relationships and weddings, only to see them go bust in a matter of weeks and months....

The forums are great and informative and numerous individuals have met thru this medium, because of something indicated which could tell you more about that person and their thought process..

Also you can tell someone you are removing your personal, only to keep it there under anothe screen name or on another dating sight...

Of course I would... in a heartbeat. And if anyone was serious about just wanting to date that one person, they would have no hesitation in doing so.
However, I do enjoy my forums and chatting with some of the people I've met on here. But there would be no photo of me posted, no 'about me' section and the status would clearly state that I'm not available. I'd also be completely honest with whom I was dating exclusively and let them know.
