| Married People Should Not be Looking on a Dating Site
Posted: 4/21/2006 8:51:28 PM | | As the Subject suggests I don't think that married people or people living together should be on this site looking for friends. I don't mind single people looking for friends only because as we all know their is always a chance of two single people hooking up. Marriage or common law marriage are fine institutions and friendships that go beyond due to a dating site are wrong in my opinion so their should be no chance of hooking up for these people. Thanks for hearing my rant. | |

Posted: 4/28/2006 6:35:52 AM | | For the record Marriage doesn't bother me as I stated it is a fine institution and if I meet the right girl I have no fear of commitment. Your statement however tells me you probably aren't ready since married people shouldn't be looking to get some at least until they get a divorce. | |

Posted: 4/29/2006 1:42:15 PM | Umm ... yeah cause married people are silly!
But seriously, what's wrong with married people being on PoF to meet friends? If a couple recently moved to a new town, etc, why not use PoF as a way to meet some people from that same town?
Next thing you're going to say is that we should segregate grocery stories one for married people and one for non-married people ... cause as they say, the grocery store is a great place to meet that special someone  | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 3:09:57 AM | Yeah!! I agree with that... Some people do this under false pretences...And they dont wanna get caught n such. Then if they do get caught, n kicked outta house, home, outta kids lives,etc...they have nobody else ta blame but themselves. And worse yet is the fact that YOU yerself gets caught with them, well how does that reflect on YOU as a person..??
No thats never happened ta me im just thinkin about WTF if it ever did? How would I feel, as the person HE was cheatin on ....or with ...ewww... Ever been a Kid in that situation tho{being caught inbetween Mom and Dads problems and not Knowing WTF is wrong}??? or a close relative?? Or have someone do it too ya? or you've done that to someone else ??....all you gotta think about is...treat others as YOU would wanna be treated...and life should work out just peachy in the long run... heh!!...unless ya enjoy being treated like a nothing.... | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 8:17:52 PM | | I believe that POF is a dating site and as such should be for singles only. Their must be another site where married people can meet others and if their isn't their should be. Grocery stores definately shouldn't be segregated but I have heard that in one part of this great country their is a singles night so hopefully that will catch on | |

Posted: 5/11/2006 8:22:20 PM | | Thank you for agreeing with me and although my intent wasn't directed at deception on the married peoples parts. Instead I addressed my frustration at reading a fine persons profile only to find that they are listed as married. However, I'm sure their are people who list themselves as single who are not and they should be exposed and kicked of POF immediately. | |

Posted: 5/14/2006 7:18:33 PM | If a married or common law couple are on this website looking for friends (by which i mean actual friends not anything involving sexual activities) why can't they be on this website? this is not only a dating website, you can choose looking for friends on your profile.
Also Prince Edward Island has a very large swingers comunity. There is nothing wrong for them searching for people on this website as long as they are honest about their relationship and what they are looking for. Not everyone is Catholic/Cristian on this island, this does not break everyone's vows. I personally think swigning can be quite dangerous for people in a relationship for many reasons and I know a married couple that ended up breaking up over it, but still, it is people's own choice and I won't tell anyone that it is 'wrong' for them. (though I will still worry for them).
But yes, married people and people in serious relationships should NOT mark themselves as single on this website. that I'll agree with. Once, years ago I went on a date with a guy who ended up having a girlfriend, he was cheating on her with me and once I found out I felt horrible. I'm glad I never saw him again after the first time (I only learned he had a gf a few weeks later). Eventually I went and met her and apologized. Aparently it wasn't the first time he'd done it, thankfully she dumped his sorry ass. | |

Read the top right of the screen this is a 100% Free Dating Site. Therefore the intention of this site is for dating not finding friends, nuff said.
Then why does it have an option for friends???
And maybe a happliy married couple is looking for ppl to date????....
Next thing you know you will want for gays and lesbians to find a different site as well..... | |

Posted: 5/19/2006 1:04:50 PM | quote] I believe that POF is a dating site and as such should be for singles only.
Well, its not. If folks are honest about their status, I see nothing wrong with them making use of a site that does not declare itself restricted to singles. There are sites that are. "True" is one of them, iirc.
Their must be another site where married people can meet others and if their isn't their should be.
There are, again iirc. But if this isn't an exclusive site, and it isn't, then either people shouldn't complain about who's allowed to use it or they should move to a site that is exclusive to the type of person they're looking for.
Grocery stores definately shouldn't be segregated but I have heard that in one part of this great country their is a singles night so hopefully that will catch on
To each their own.

I share your view of dishonesty, but I can't see any fault in the behaviour of the woman you described. | |

Posted: 5/20/2006 12:14:57 PM | | Some peoples definition of friends is quite different also some people want to get to know somebody first before "dating". Happily married couples shouldn't be looking for people to "date". Gays and lesbians are fine since they are single and looking to date which is not a problem, to each his/her own. | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 12:09:16 PM | | So if I understand you correctly,married people should avoid dating sites,bars,dances,and all social events because they WILL CHEAT on their spouses.Also we are not to have friends.I think you have confused marriage with solitary confinement in prison. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 12:39:24 PM | | Although I agree with storm 38, after all I did start this forum, I believe that its an argument you can never win because after all it is a free country. I'm sure that the creators of plenty of fish want as many people to use the site as possible so everyone is welcome. However, those that are married and pretend to be single so they can cheat on their significant other should definately be ashamed. The people who pursue relations beyond friendship with those who don't hide the fact that they are married should also be ashamed. That is All. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 6:06:43 AM | | Totally Agree!! I have stated in my profile that i'm not interested in married men .. not into being an unpaid marriage counsellor either!!! And still some try! However .. there is one thing to say for married persons using a singles site to find "friends" - Thanks for showing me who you are! .. Been on the planet long enough .. been around it a bit too .. and we All know > If you wouldn't do it with your partner right there, watching > then you are up to no good .. and you have little or no respect for your "partner" .. so how much could you possible have for some ___ you met on a personals site? ... not very nice . .. the way to "fix" a broken relationship is not through PoF!! and i do agree to each their own .. but then if yer married ya already got yer own! .. Honest ... its such a big word .. isn't it? | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 2:56:13 PM | I disagree with the position that this website is only for single ppl. Im common law with my husband but we may as well be married. I have three kids, small kids I should add, dont drive and dont have much oppurtunity to meet other ppl, seeing as i would have to bus it with a six year old, a four year old and a newborn. Not going to happen. I like chatting,LOVE the forums, i do, i do, and getting other ppls perspective on a variety of situations. Nothing dishonest about it. Im not fishing for anything more than that and about the only complaint i would have is the 'seeking' option does not have the option male/female and so you have to choose one or the other. I switch mine every once in awhile from male to female and vice versa. Also, my husband has looked over my profile and doesnt have a problem with it, because he knows no one comes close LOL. Regardless of who's opinion is what, us married/common law ppl are hear to stay (we're like the PLAGUE! ) LOL, and thats all i have to say | |

Posted: 6/24/2006 8:01:48 PM | interesting .. not surprising that the vast majority of those who condone married people using a dating site and it is a dating site ... read! ... like i was saying the majority of those who think its a great idea .. are the married ones who think they're fooling someone! ... seriously .. this is ridiculous ... PoF is a "Dating Site" ... and there is one thing of which i am sure .. When I find Mr. Right ... we will both be removing any and all 'profiles' from singles / dating sites ... i'm pretty sure i mentionned in my profile that honesty and integrity are essential ...morals and values are big in my books too ...
this cheating thing is nuts .. why be married .. why not just play around .. if thats all you want? .. i dont understand why some people need a piece of paper and a ring ... my opinion is not without some merit .. i know more than one person who is either married and "claiming" to be here for "friends" ... they are cheating .. and they are cheating with people who are "claiming" the same b.s. ... giving "friends" a whole new meaning!!! spouses are home caring for kids or they're working to put food on the table ... blahblahblah ..
the other thing that really p's me off is getting messaged by married men .. i am quite specific about that in my profile .. NO married or otherwise taken men. Of course its silly to expect respect from a cheater. Anyway .. the issue is obviously one that can get me a tad hot under the collar .. but its just becuz i recently got one of those married men tryin to win me over emotionally and then spill the beans .. he spilled to soon! thought he had me .. wow was he wrong! ... anyway .. it sux .. i hate being suspicious ... there are lots of great guys and they are single and available ... there oughta be a site just for married people who dont have cable TV!!! lol
ok ok .. i think i'm gonna leave this thread alone now .. | |
