| Can someone explain the definition of Exclusive to me!!!
Posted: 11/14/2007 9:59:55 PM | Judging by the number of threads started about "Why does he/she still have an active Profile" It would appear that Exclusivity is somewhat rare when one has met a partner in the on-line world.
If it bothered someone that I was supposedly exclusive with that I had an active profile, but I still wanted to use the forums, or chat to friends I had made, then I would either adjust my profile to reflect my current status, or I would give him my password so that he could re-assure himself that I was'nt fishing.
I think that anyone who is against some sort of comprimise, is not really all that fussy on being "exclusve" Period. | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 9:10:53 AM | Old thread, but since there do seem to be some people on here lately who can grasp the concept:
No sex with anyone else
No dating anyone else
Not looking anymore on the internet (or anywhere else) trying to get dates | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 9:28:55 AM | | soton, you were smart to know not to say very much on here lol. wise move. seems when ever you ask a simple question it gives others the chance to try to make you, either feel or look stupid (as in your 1st & 2nd reply) the term exclusive can take on different meanings. most women will use that term to mean that you are on top of the list, you get top priority. but the other guys are still very much in the picture, so beware.....you may lose your place | |

Posted: 7/25/2008 9:29:10 AM | Ah the question isn't the meaning of the word "exclusive" the question really is: "I thought we had found our one true loves because we agreed to maintain an exclusive relationship that formed on an internet dating site - I deleted my profile but she's still on her surfing the web for ....______ what?!"
If two people meet via an online dating site, communicate, meet in real life, continue dating and communicating to the point they wish to be "exclusive" what are the rules or etiquette?
A difficult thing if no one's talking about it. Why aren't you?
If she has different notions of exclusivity than you do, this is something you should both be able to discuss with each other.
If you can't discuss it with her - then there's a RED FLAG that maybe you two aren't a good match.
But - what obligation does such a new "exclusive" relationship have to making their profiles invisible or unavailable?
Some develop friendships, relationships and wish to be able to maintain those while exploring how well the "intimate exclusive relationship" works for them.
However, it doesn't mean they're still shopping for dates or partners or mates.
It just means they haven't deleted their profiles.
I have no issue with remaining on a dating site even though you are beginning the relationship, but when the relattionship moves into a very real place for you both - such as sexual intimacy and staying the weekends at each other's homes?
Then I think it's completely acceptable to expect that you BOTH would delete your profiles and give your private contact information to the friends you wish to stay in touch with online. | |

Posted: 7/26/2008 7:13:26 AM | | Last time I checked, exclusive meant one person only, not "other guys are still in the picture" so I am not to sure where that comment comes into play. Then again maybe I am different, I do not "date" or have a list of men and then choose who is good for me. If I am ever in doubt I just ask the other person, much easier. I suppose from what I have read, others have a different definaition of the meaning "exclusive". | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 12:41:11 AM | This woman wouldn't know exclusive even if it slapped her across the face, trust me, I should know...
The end is that these two are no longer together, he obviously came to his senses...
But alas, there is so much more to this story...
I made a play for her last year, but she never mentioned once that she was in love with another guy or shacked up with him even, we arranged to meet up for a drink one afternoon, but like I said, there is so much more to all this, hell, could write a book.
I think the word slapper comes to mind, but I dont usually tarnish a woman in such a way, dare say she is a minority case... | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 8:49:54 AM | Exclusivity in a relationship means you are happy with whom you are with, and want it to last, it means being faithful to one person, it means you are not looking/hoping for someone/something better elsewhere. You are part of a partnership. One of a couple.
It means you have your other friends, old and new, but you arent going to want to sleep with them!
It doesnt mean you have to stop talking to new people, as long as they know the score.

like I said, plenty of fish in the sea, she gives genuine woman a bad name, and in light of all that happened, maybe you deserve better, she sure as hell dont deserve you if you had concerns like this in the first place, but I know what happened and reiterate my previous comment.
Hope you find happiness buddy...

Posted: 9/22/2008 1:18:20 AM | Too bad not all men feel as you do Boisegoodbadboy. I feel when you share your body and your love with someone, they should have the decency to at least take themselves off POF. I guess we all learn from our mistakes and hopefully much wiser in whom we choose as our partners. Maybe you need to move to Canada boiseboy...:) Wishing you well. | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 1:50:43 AM | | Sometimes people have better things to do than go to a dating site and change their profile to reflect their status straight away. Geez, if this is an indication of what's ahead, I feel for her... | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 12:32:43 AM | I know this woman only too well, thankfully not intimately, but she wanted to play the field, that was damned obvious, but it got nasty, I dont think she ever cared for you or your feelings, just another player in a big sea.
Soton Hitman is no more, I think he got the picture...
The last time I had contact with this guy, he mentioned to me that her principle in life is to:
you should lie, just to smooth thing over
Now what does that suggest people???? Could he every trust her, how would he know when she was telling the truth, can you honerstly live by that principle, makes me wonder, maybe she thinks she is a good liar mate, but I think you saw the light... | |

Posted: 10/14/2008 11:21:11 AM | Exclusive = excluding others; not divided; resistant to the admission of outsiders.
In a relationship that would mean you EXclude others who would put your relationship in jeopardy. Resisting temptations of outside influences. If you are in an exclusive relationship, you don't mess around and expect pats on the back by your significant other. If being exclusive is not what you want, then be honest and set your significant other free of you, to go on and pursure someone else who only has eyes for her. From your brief statement, I'm gathering that perhaps it is your eyes that can't stay focused. | |

Posted: 10/20/2008 1:40:00 AM | Feel a need to correct you there (not in OP's defenece though), but his woman was still lookin on PoF, even arranged to meet me, even tho I made my intentions pretty clear, but she never said she loved him or anything like that, so I felt compelled to persue, but hey, that was last year now, I have moved on and I believe he has too, she's a player and gives genuine woman a bad name, enough said.
Hell, she even encouraged me, hit the guy pretty hard, but don't think she cared, because she didn't klnow what exclusive means, I think that is why he placed this post in the first place, he probably got the picture and like most, knew what it means, I sure as hell do, I am on and off this site like crazy, if I date someone, then I ain't looking for anyone else, if they got eyes for me , then I make the situation crystal clear that I ain't interested, simple as that, she never once did anything to actually put me off, she loved it, and played a dangerous game in the end. | |

Posted: 12/2/2008 1:44:15 PM | If someone you are seeing brings up the word Exclusive - ask them what they mean by it. Make sure you are on the same page or someone will get hurt. It doesn't have to be all that complicated - if what he/she is talking about sounds good to you and you agree, then go from there. If you don't, then stop.
Assume nothing.
Good luck. I hope this has a positive outcome for you. | |

Posted: 12/2/2008 5:07:43 PM | I think these people are just trying to upset you. If you are bothered by her not removing her profile just talk to her about it. Im sure that you mean more to her than a dating site profile. In my case I am just here for the forums and I am not actively seeking a date. Since joining pof I have had a few guys contact me no effort on my part. The guys seemed to be very nice looking with nicely written profiles, however I explained to them that I am not interested end of the story.
So, yes there are people that are just here for the forums. They are very entertaining and informative it's kind of like facebook or myspace in my opinion. | |
