| Why is "other relationship" always seen as dodgy??
Posted: 4/22/2008 4:46:58 AM | I have seen that most people have blocked messages from intimate encounter(fair enough) ..but with that they have also included other relationship..Is it me who is not getting it .I thought other relationship is something which is not listed or may b combination of all..like if someoen wants to chat to people who r miles away then he can put talk/email..but same time he wants a date locally ..and may b friends to go out with .....your comments please  | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 4:51:35 AM | I've noticed lots of ladies put "other relationship". It's too vague a term. I thought (and think) it meant - a relationship on-the-side, "illicit", two-timing, cheating etc.
But they seem to be saying (many), they're decent, spoken-for, just contacting for friends. Not all, at all tho'!
If in doubt, don't?! | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 4:55:48 AM | | Other Relationship is a bit vague - I think intimate encounter sort of covers the illicit/f*ck buddy type need. But if I saw "other relationship" it would make me think "This person is out for a sh*g" even if they maybe just didn't know what to put! | |

To me personally it comes across as sex based where one or the other is either married so its NSA Fun or their looking for something a bit unique sexually. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 4:57:37 AM | I think most people are unsure of what 'other relationship' means.
It's a bit vague, isn't it?
As human nature dictates that we shy away from the unknown, putting 'other relationship' on ones profile is likely to narrow ones field of possible response. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 5:03:44 AM | I don't know if you comment was aimed at me, OP, but what makes you assume that I, personally, wouldn't respond to someone with 'other relationship' on their profile?
You asked for opinions, I gave mine. That's the idea of this forum, you know. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 5:18:33 AM | I based my opinion way oop there on my own personally view of what 'other relationship' means to me, my view will always remain that it's some sort of sexual relationship.
Maybe some people use that instead of intimate encounter because its a bit more discreet. | |

You could choose one option and elaborate in your profile about anything thing else you would possibly be interested in (i.e. talk/email, friends, dating). It seems the general consensus is that "other relationship" is considered one step away from IE, so unless that's what you want people to think, you should go with one of the other choices.

Posted: 4/22/2008 5:34:39 AM | Friends! (Expletive deleted) Nothing wrong with friends, perfectly decent word, POF doesn't let you pick - "Well, I dunno, how's about we talk, chatter, hopefully meet, possibly get to know each other [probably won't, likely "phew, tragic", or "no, most unlikely compatible" - both ways!] and truly possibly friends. Or more, oh yes, but EVEN more unlikely/rare. So I vacillate/oscillate between Talk/Friends/Dating.
"Here, little fishy!"
I reckoned Other Relationship=Intimate EncounterSSSSSS ?! | |

I read 'other relationship ' as a fook buddy.
Is it? I'd never realised that. They shouldn't have made it so ambiguous. No wonder I haven't been able to find one yet. | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 6:06:25 AM | For me i always imagined that Other Relationship was similar to Intimate Encounter.
Initmate Encounter = sex, no date.
Other Relationship = sex, maybe with someone married? | |

What's an activity partner then?
Is that someone looking for someone to just give them a hand job? | |

Posted: 4/22/2008 9:40:05 AM | Or,another interpretation....
Hang out = Lets hang out,then have sex.
Talk/email = Lets have cyber-sex.
Long term = Maybe this will get me sex ?
Other relationship = ****nose? Lets have sex.
Dating = Different shag every night.
Friends = We're both single.Lets fukc.
Intimate encounter = Whoa,baby,bring it on.
Activity Partner = Im fresh out of ideas. Lets fukc.
Pretty spot on I think lol........................People say they're looking for one thing but clearly are looking for something quite different....I sometimes find POF users treat it as a slightly subtler version of more adult sites lol....
