It's not wrong but if you're in a relationship and content it might be a great time to take a break from these sites. Read. Play an instrument. Volunteer! It's a good idea to close up shop and just live and enjoy your great lady. I suspect that you spent some time on these sites and they became an addicting little habit. Pretty harmless, but I say - leave it alone. No good can come of it and you are missing out on other ways to enrich your life.

I can see the boredom issue here. That you are sitting around doing nothing and so just go to POF to goof off. But, don't really understand why you would surf the personals as opposed to doing the forums. Just seems a little odd.\

This issue has come up a few times in my own relationship... it has actually been a problem a few times.

In my personal opinion, it really depends on a lot of things... but mainly the status and stability of your relationship. If you're in a stable relationship, great trust (on both sides), have never cheated in the relationship, she knows about your 'profile surfing', she is OKAY with your 'profile surfing', and you make clear on your profile that you are NOT looking for anyone, then it is probably okay -- if any of these things are not checked 'yes' then re-evaluate and CHANGE something.

I randomly pull up people's profile all the time and find some rather interesting things. People are kinda quirky and odd... I love to people watch. Sometimes I message people, usually I don't. I love meeting new people, especially to make new friends.

However (and it has already been said), if you're on here asking this question on the forums of 'is it okay?', your intent is questionable so it probably isn't okay. You should be asking your 'GREAT LADY' the question of 'is it okay?' rather than us. And if she says no, respect that answer. If you respect her and think she's such a 'great lady', you'll respect her wishes and stay off the dating site.

My opinion is - you should be off of all dating sites. They are for Dating!

I read the first few replies, and I have to say "WOW" to the one who put the guy down just because he has a "good lady". Liten up a bit.

I say big deal as long as he isn't looking for other prospects.

The words 'Dating Site" kick up a lot of strange reactions in people, yes?

It's a people site, people are interesting.... and a forum site as well.
Plus, there are many couples who met on here and still post, together, or seperately

What are ya feeling bad about, brother?
I guess the only thing I'd do a little differently than you, is perhaps update my profile...'if' I was in a relationship with a great lady, as you say...to reflect that.

It's in there...under "not single but still trolling".....or...something like that

Its not wrong to surf profiles. But I keep myself hidden when I do because I don't want to look at women's profiles un-hidden; she would probably say to herself "Ewww this ugly ass guy viewed me" or she sends me a rude message asking why I viewed her.

It sounds like you are looking for something better to come along and are just not being honest with yourself.

If you have nothing better to do for entertainment than looking at other women's profiles when you proclaim to be happy then I suggest you get a hobby.
