Why is other relationship always seen as dodgy??

I see the term "other relationship" as someone looking for a regular quick legover...
a f u c k buddy ...

dating = means just that dating..as does long term and all the others really.. intimate encounter is really a one night stand (or afternoon or morning even lol)..

as im not into either fuk buddies or one night stands i block both from contacting me.

I wouldn't necessarily assume that 'other relationship' means something dodgy, but I have questioned it in the past, and been told that the bloke didn't want to get into anything serious, but wasn't expecting one-nighters either. That particular bloke I met for a drink, and no more, but he was quite happy to meet up again.

Anyway, whatever label you put on it, isn't the ultimate intention for a sh*g to happen at some point? Call it dating, long term, whatever - the end result is usually the same.

I see it as any of these;
1) Wanting extra helpings on the side without the other half knowing.
2) A fook buddy.
3) Someone who wants someone of the same sex, but maybe hasn't come out the closest.
4) Wants a 3sum or 4sum or maybe more than that.
5) Is a swinger.
6) Wants a weekday lover, because only sees the other half at weekends.

But, to be honest would prefer someone being HONEST on the profile, rather than lying about it. So if they put that and you don't want 'other relationship' then bypass them.

Other realationship is something other than dating, talk/email, long term, friends, activity partner.. Could be something like stamp collecting/sticking stamps at each others body.. train spotting, being an orgy participant, dress up in leather, that M&M or whatever its called..
licking stilettoes, licking armpits etcs.

So yes, dodgy indeed.

I see "other relationship" as sex with someone who is married or living with someone.
A bit on the side

I thought it meant sado-masochism..........no ? and isnt intimacy what we all want;

after all what is marriage without intimacy . Its time fish got its act together with its meaningless box-ticking whic-it is so evident-just confuses & misleads us all. why cant we be at liberty to use our own terminology ? they shouldnt put words in our mouths - which we dont anyway mean.

Trouble with **** buddies is that they always want girlfriend rights after a period of time!!!!

They start telling you off, making you fold towels up rather than hanging them on the floor where they belong, they tell you off for not locking the door in the morning, they call you a brat just because you dont like ironing and would prefer someone else to do it!
Tehy even complain when you cook them nice food because you've used more than one knife and two saucepans and they have to do the washing up!!!!!!!!!!!

can't win.
You're only male, accept that no matter what, eventually they ALL grab your cojones and squeez ;)

This was very helpful in a strange way. I think I will steer clear of other relationship. I am glad I am not the only one confused by the wording. Thanks!

There's no need to be put off by 'Other Relationship' In fact I take little note of what women put in their profile as they invariably talk in opposites.

Any relationship will do for me, except 'Long term email' :-)

Seriously of course, everyone on here starts with an email relationship - but rarely get any further no matter how few/many 'must not' options they choose.

You can't pick your future partner by 'ticking boxes' and 'must nots'.........All the women would end up with John Major? Rhetorical statement.

And just as an aside, how many women on here have requested a 'Long Term Relationship' and yet ended up having a 'One night stand' ? Rhetorical question.
