| You're in a relationship, but you have a profile on POF just for the threads? Really?
Posted: 2/17/2009 8:22:00 AM | Yes for some people that is the case. I also change my profile status and still browse the forums when dating someone. Think of it like Facebook and only relationship status changes.
Now what is the difficult part to understand? That people may be capable of talking to people of the opposite or same sex without there being the ulterior motive of sex? | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 8:28:11 AM | | Yep! Its true! If I am dating I will hide my profile but keep popping in the forums. The POF forum is one of the biggest forums on the web and is defo the most entertaining haha! There are guys on here who are the same. If you come accross any women who have this on their profile then no one is saying you need to message them so whats the big deal? Just move on. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 8:41:19 AM | | For the ninety gazillionth time, yes, get over it and what the hell does it matter to you? They are profiles on a website with great forums that just happens to be a dating site. In most cases, their profiles reflect not single/not looking or clearly denote that they are here for the forums. Those people that see them as a challenge are sorely disappointed, waaaa. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 8:52:51 AM | | Yep, some of us enjoy the forums in their own right -- discussing relationships/scenarios/issues, writing poems.. whatever. My partner (about 2m from me right now) enjoys the forums too and we still both read and post, despite being very happily living together for nearly 2 years now. I still enjoy reading his posts more than anyone else's and he, similarly, stalks mine. It's about being part of a large discussion of the type you just don't get in everyday life. Hard to find that anywhere else... The fact that we met here gives me a particular fondness for the place too: I tried another forum not long ago, but the potential it seemed to have soon vanished. This forum, as limited as it is, is really hard to beat. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 9:11:53 AM | So....this is land of the frees. I am married and have a friend??? so??? I also have my profile now for forums only...I don't need to meet anyone now. Love the forums and its a way to use some of my free time.
Also there are lots of married looking for intimate encounters. What are you going to do about it??
People are free to do what they want right or wrong. You can only control what you choose to do. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 9:16:58 AM | OP, ok.....i'm not in a relationship right now but if I were, i'd still be posting.
while on here, I may just find my SO but for now it's a nice place to come and join in.
I don't consider the people I work with friends so I don't associate with them after hours.
Who wants to dress up and go into the bar scene.....
It's nice in the summer when i'm working outside in the yard and when I take a break, I hop on and see what's up on the forums.....maybe join in....maybe not.
It's great company without the mess and fuss....and you can make friends with people on here and take it as far as you want.
It's also a freedom of speech thing, I get to say what I want as long as I play by the rules so it helps to deaden some of the silence and lonliness of being single.
I had an account on here before and deleted it and started over again just the way I wanted to.
My profile doesn't really contain any real depth or truth about me because i'm not on a big major fishing expedition right now for a guy but when I change my mind, i'll change my profile and it will definetely reflect the real me.
So......when and if I find my SO, i'll still be here and he can stay as well if he likes. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 9:17:00 AM | Yep...single now (she moved to another state), but used to ONLY read the forums before. Not only did the GF have my password, read the Emails for giggles...but actually posted a few times under my name.
If you're open about it...no worries. I've never said anything to anybody on this site that I wouldn't say in front of a GF. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 10:08:11 AM | Oh goodness.
Yes, a person can be participating in the forums ... and not looking for a date (or whatever) at the same time.
I haven't found other forums that run along at such a fast pace.. or I'd be there participating too, or instead of.
One site I belong to, which is geared to a particular subject I'm involved with, has such a slow ... very slow... moving along pace.
It's entertainment, OP. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 12:02:37 PM | If it was purely a "singles" site as you say OP, it wouldn't have an option to say "not single/not looking"!
Just because you apparently can't the fight temptation of wanting to date/sleep with other women or even manage a platonic friendship with a woman when you are in a relationship doesn't mean other people are the same. Many of us can manage it very successfully.
You know, I've seen threads on this subject time and time again and each time, I always hope the person works through their blatant trust issues before trying to embark on a relationship. | |
