| | Dating websites designed for married people looking for something on the sidePage 1 of 2 (1, 2) | | I was watching a show yesterday and they now have dating websites for married people. All the members are married and are looking for recreational sex or want to hook up with someone other then their spouse for whatever reason. The man who started this site claims he has 350,000 members. He claimed that the demand was there for this type of service. The reasoning is that people on there are upfront and honest. Interesting theorty. He figures that these members aren't hiding the fact that they are married (honesty part). That they probably don't want to leave their spouse. They are just looking for some fun or companionship on the side. Here's my question to POF members. What's the difference between a regular dating site such as this where members who are married indicate they are single or a site such as described where you know they are married right off the bat. | |

why bother getting married? If you arent happy with your sex life with your spouse rekindle the damn fire!
and if your partner doesnt please you, TEACH THEM!
you can only be as good as your teacher people!
CHEATING is CHEATING no matter which way you look at it.
And as for the supporters of it, i hope you all rot in hell.

Honesty may not be the reason for declaring marital status, so much as knowing that it may be a plus on a site which targets married people. As for the demand, maybe married people are just as guilty as single people in assuming a sexual relationship is central to their emotional needs. | |

It's cheating unless your spouse approves, then it's swinging. Cheating is cheating whether you join a club or not. It's like a site for people who steal, doesn't make stealing any different just because you are among other thieves. It's a good business idea for someone with no morals. Maybe if they both keep cheating and changing partners eventually they will work their way back to each other and have it out of their systems. | |

Posted: 5/11/2005 11:31:32 AM | | I personally don't approve of these sites. I didn't mention that in my opening post. I guess it's a way of putting together all married people in one place (website) and saving them the time and effort of trying to find the married people on a regular dating website. I guess they don't have to do a weeding type of process. They already know the people on there are married. Apparently the demand for this type of thing is huge and growing. Maybe in a sick type of way the people on there «understand» each other. They have a common goal which would be to cheat on their spouse. Great bonding experience. These people want the best of both worlds. They want the cozy home life and a mistress on the side. They are pretty much leading a double life. Why not just get divorced if they are so miserable in their marriages. By the way, I wasn't sure if I could put the website on here. | |

As for the website it's not really for swingers per say. Swinging implies that the couple are in it together. Whether they choose to have a threesome, go to a swingers club, swap partners .... This is more about betrayal. They are sneaking around and trying to pick up partners on their own. It's not out in the open. They don't want to get caught. But then again posting a profile on such a site is pretty much letting the world know you're married and want to screw someone else. I wonder if these people post a picture. Probably not. | |

Posted: 5/11/2005 12:22:31 PM | I've heard a number of women here complain about getting hit on by married men, wish that married men who cheat and married women would cheat would hook up with each other and leave the singles alone. Well, now there's a website for just that, apparently.
As long as they don't hit on me, or hurt someone I love, it's none of my business. | |

CHEATING is CHEATING no matter which way you look at it.
One can only "cheat" IN a game, or ON a test.
So, which category would you place a relationship/marriage into?  | |

I disagree viper...cheating is being dishonest..ie: when u say ur on a business trip ..but in reality ur banging ur secretary at a hotel. Any lie whatsoever is cheating.Marriage vows should be taken more seriously.
That's not "cheating". That's being unfaithful.
Words mean things. | |

Posted: 9/16/2011 5:16:39 AM | I think its a fantastic idea personally
although I wouldnt condone or aid someone in cheating its their life at the end of the day and they make their own choices
So the only things that really spring to mind here is that
1) People cheat, accept it because no amount of whinging, whining or bitter angst ridden diatribes will stop that happening, Its widerspread and has been going on since society first started to push the concept of matrimonial ownership as a means of controlling a population
2) People on run of the mill mainstream sites throw constant tizzy fits about married people being there even if theyre being honest about their situation. So them having their own specific sites to use should really be seen as a good thing. And I'm sure they will all be able to find some other sin to complain about if all married people left sites like this so their days didnt become empty of purpose or meaning
Complaining about people cheating on the basis of it being "wrong" is about as effective and purposed as complaining about prostitutes or women who have a healthy sex drive and dont have a long list of demands, hoops to be jumped through or tests that need to be passed before they have sex but just have sex when they feel horny with someone they choose to have sex with. NONE of them will decrease, cease to exist nor go off the idea just because other people dont agree with it which is why they have already survived thousands of years and are actually on the increase rather than decrease
I do find it interesting however that far far more time is spent by people decrying the woes of all three than ever seems to be expended on tips to have a healthy fun relationship that somebody wouldnt want to stray from, or on changing the views of women who will make sex seem like the prize at the end of a horrendously long assault course or rerun of its a knock out
Because both groups of things are diametrically opposite and arent by any stretch of the imagination "unrelated" to each other | |
