| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 6:10:24 AM | OI VEY! If anyone said yes to that question they need to be slapped. Let's not even start with the moral ramifications of it...just the fact that they are sexually involved with someone else at the same time as you? *shudder* Then add the fact that you are trodding through someone else's cabbage patch. I couldn't and WOULDN'T consider something so stupid. I will share my food, my lodging, even my love...but I will not share my mate. And to anyone who cheats, remember that karma comes back hard.  | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 6:19:56 AM | I, Personally am unwilling to even consider the idea of dating anyone but my husband but would never consider dating anyone married and hate the idea that many out there are willing to cross that invisible boundry and put unknowing spouses at risk.

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 6:20:33 AM | I would not. Cause that person it cheating on their significant other, which means they would do exactly the same thing to me.
But well they sorta are. Those people are cowards.

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 7:06:07 AM | | I see nothing wrong IF you know for a fact that they are seperated. My husband and I have been seperated for over four months now. We are living in the same house (seperate Rooms). We have another house that we lease to someone else. As soon as the lease is up in November, he is going to move out. We are great friends and get along really well considering the circumstances. We have an awsome son together and still do some things as a family, but we both go and do as we please. Is everyone saying that it is not right for us to date other peolple? I personally don't see anything wrong with it in my situation, but if you know for a fact that the person is not seperated, then yes it is wrong. | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 8:51:38 AM | | A little of both. I don't have any interest in my soon to be ex. I don't think that I should have to wait til we are divorced to see other people or get laid if thats what I want. Is that so wrong? | |

I read somewhere that something like 90% of men looking for women on the internet are attached....
i'm not sure of that particular percentage, but i can tell you i did search on another site, LL, for local married men only between 25-90 yrs of age [local being with 80 km of my town] and i got 976 hits!
now, let's assume some of them are pretending to be married because that way it gives them an out for a long term commitment, they can find someone who just wants intimate encounters with no strings, and unfortunately there are lots of women willing to do just that, so much for the sisterhood. but then there are those who are married and pretending not to be, so i figure it evens itself out in the end.... i was somewhat shocked, actually.
as for being separated, i have a few issues with that one only because of the timeline of the separation. if they took some time after their separation to have a look the marriage and what went wrong and how they contributed to the disaster, and took some time to heal that up.. then perhaps i would date the person. but i definitely wouldn't want to be the 'transition' woman.. been there done that, it sucks. | |

That pretty much hits the nail on the head. | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 11:56:15 AM | Absolutely not. If she's married or even has a bf.. I don't get involved. i'll flirt and befriend.. but I won't be the one that gives her what she don't get from her partner.

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 1:32:09 PM | When you read a book, say Anna Karenina, (which I doubt any of you have read) or, Possession (which I also doubt any of you have read), or watch the movie (but I can't recall how true it was to the book) how do you react to the extramarital affair. Is it so revolting that you can not identify with the characters. So abhorrent you remain aloof from the plot. I pity those among you who can not get swept away by Tolstoy. But if you can, how is it that you are so partitioned that you can be accepting in this fiction but have not the slightest ability feel empathy for a fellow among you? As pitiful the first, bazaar is the second and neither can I comprehend.
Explain your cold hearted selves, I beg you, enlighten my feeble darkened mind that dwells among the despicable and immoral. | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 1:42:48 PM | | Actually...I HAVE read Anna Karenina...and reading about a story of a person's torrid affair and how that affects them on an emotional level or wreaks havoc in their lives is ONE thing...Visiting that upon REAL, LIVE people with whom you have relationships with or just knowing that you are contributing to the betrayal of another human being, is another...It is NOT a question of being cold-hearted or lacking in compassion...Love is a choice NOT an 'outside force' visited upon us that we have no control over...Love needs fertile ground within which to be nurtured, and frankly, I've personally never known of an 'affair" that was meant for ANY purpose OTHER than having sex with a new partner, because they were tired of the 'same old, same old'...Dee | |

| Would you date a married man or woman? Posted: 5/4/2005 1:46:22 PM | A response I can respect, there is something appealing about the modern, terse, sarcastic, lazy culture of youth. I struggled, ever the argumentative, to establish a credible counter point with a weighty position, and I love to play with words, but I don't take myself seriously. That is not to say I don't take the point seriously. | |
