Most people Do Not know the meaning of "Intimate Encounter"
Posted: 4/13/2006 8:27:30 PM
I guess most people on this website either don't have much experience dating or simply don't analyze the information they pick up when using this web-site. The reason why I am saying this is because MOst, yes Most people really do think that the term "Intimate Encounter" means to have cheap and meaningless and degrading one night stand. WRONG. Come on people. Whatever happened to the old fashioned way of expressing yourself in a romantic way ? What is so wrong with being Romantic ? Why do so many of us have to be so cold ? Romance is supposed to be something fun and beautiful, not a Major University Exam. To myself, Intimate Encounter means to have a pleasant, fun and exciting experience with laughter and 2 people hugging, kissing, cuddling and holding hands. Holding each other so that there is actually a shared warmth between two hearts. Sex is only a possibility in any type of an interaction between a man and a woman and Not a requirement. I need everyone's feedback on this please and Thank You all...

I would automatically think Intimate encounter means that the person is looking for a sexual relationship without attachment.

I would think it has very little to do with "holding" each other and "cuddling"... and a lot to do with gettin' it on with a stranger.

organicgirl, if that's the case, then what is the meaning of the term "Other Relationship" or even "Activity Partner" ? Besides, if "Intimate Encounter" really does have an underlying meaning of cheap sex, it's because people let it be just that. Different people have different expriences and different types of attractions towards one another. "Intimate Encounter" is just a way to physically express that you're interested and possibly even turned on by that person. For example: When I'm out on a date, I like to hold hands and kiss and cuddle. I strongly respect a woman's cushion of space. I will stop as soon as she says stop. That's it. Cold conversations just don't cut it for everyone. Especially if you've just met.

I assumed "other relationship" meant "threesomes"... and "activity partner" meant someone to go climbing or kayaking or something with...

The terms seem pretty straight forward to me. They "soften" them a little to make them less crude but here's the meaning of each of them for ya (since I'm bored tonight):

Intimate Encounter - one night stand.
Activity Partner - someone you see on again off again for one shared interest. (Could be sex.)
Other Relationship - I would think this means: "Does not fall nicely into one category".

And now back to surfing...

Intimate encounter is just another term for "f--k Buddy". Reguardless of what it could be defined as, this is it's meaning to the general public.

ok then I guess since everyone believes that "Intimate Encounter" defines cheap and meaningless sex, then I'm strangely one out of a few in a million who feels otherwise. Sorry guys, To me, it's something more than that. I don't know, maybe I just have a very strange point of view. Thanks for all your feedback and I wish you all Great luck and hapiness in the future. Take care and God Bless.

Toronto Dude,

Sounds like you're trying to play the wuss card to look all sensitive to a woman's needs. I wouldn't do that if you're surfin' the "Intimate Encounter" chicks. Besides, what other category would classify "one night of hot, steamy, practically anonymous sex?"

Hey OP...its nice how being a guy you have a "life is bed of roses" kind of thinking(which is rare to find in a man), but get it inside your head, intimate encounter does mean sex with no strings attached.For a change, its nice to see a man on pof with a romantic way of thinking though.

Intimate encounter means casual sex, other relationship means casual sex and maybe some kink as well, activity partner means FWB.

There is no mystery here ....and some of us have YEARS of experience with online dating.....and across ALL websites, the meanings are the same!

the term "Intimate Encounter" means to have cheap and meaningless and degrading one night stand.


If they WANT this, how is it degrading? Most people looking for an IE, want a regular sex-puppet anyway. Not a one nighter.

Pick dating or activity partner then.... "intimate encounter" means the same to most... "one nighter", "no strings attached" "FWB".

I think the problem OP is that MOST ie almost everyone else but you realizes that intimate encounter in the online dating world, means looking for sex, most likely only sex, once..or a regular set up where all you do is have sex. Lol Yes this idea of romance and intimacy is romantic, but in reality, these words are disorted to cheap sex online. And any guy is fooling himself if woman look at those words and think longterm relationship/romance when online. So if you are looking for something romantic and intimate, I would discribe that in your profile, and put ltr as what you are looking for.

I agree, an “Intimate Encounter” most likely means a sexual relationship with no strings attached. It could be short term or long term.

At least in my case that is what I am looking for. I am happy being single, have no desire to get into a close relationship, but being "forced" into being celibate sucks. And "solo sex with oneself" gets old after a while. So why not look for someone who also has her own life, doesn't want to get entangled in a relationship, but misses the physical side of one. So she is looking for a monogamous sexual relationship.

By monogamous, I mean only having sex with one person to eliminate the chance of getting some disease that sleeping with anyone who comes along, or buying sex poses. Tactile stimulation is important to a person and wanting to touch and be touched is not bad.

Below are the meanings of 'intimate' and 'encounter'
*******************
Intimate - marked by close association, acquaintance, or familiarity
Encounter - an unexpected or unplanned meeting; usually a brief meeting.

Nothing romantic about either toronto dude.

Intimate Encounters most definitely, in my book, means looking for sex without strings. There is another site that has a specific area called Intimate Encounters and that's exactly what it's all about - sex!
So when I am actually looking, I stay away from any guy who is looking for Intimate Encounters because that's not the kind of guy I'd be interested in. To each their own, but not for me.
I'd wonder what they meant by 'other relationship' and 'activity partner' since I think a lot of sexual innuendo can be made from that....so I'd clarify first on those ones.

well I do its a hell of a great time with a freind that you have know but you are each to smart to marry the other why? you fight like brother and sister. I had a freind that I met when I was divorced that we did all kinds of things. But most of all we were great in the sack. You are gonna ask what happened she found someone to commit and we went our seperate ways do I miss her you bet you a$$. Would I mess up her marriage? no she deserves to be happy. So I have said it!!! was she unhappy with intimate encounters ???no she came back as many times as I did . when she told me she was getting married did I get upset. No,but I knew I was lossing a fine freind that was willing to spend time with me even when I wanted to just get laid. She was a jewel amoung females as far as I am concerned . I hope her husbnand thinks so.

Read the profiles of those looking for an "intimate encounter"...at least 50% of them say something about sex or a fling on the side.

"...,but I knew I was lossing a fine freind that was willing to spend time with me even when I wanted to just get laid..."

this is just my thought but...if you two were truly 'FRIENDS" , would that friendship not continue (obviously minus the sex), despite the fact that she married someone? I mean, most friendships do not end once one person gets married. I am thinking, that this may have been more like a 'friendly relationship' than a real "friendship"....again, just my opinion.
