So honestly..... people come here because IT IS a singles site........
then you have 15 women that are taken and not looking. and dont want guys to flirt with them.
So please tell me how that is at all fair to the other members?
and no.... we shouldnt have to read every profile just to send a flower.
sending a flower ... this part i do agree entirely !!
Ok .. please dont get me wrong Ras as i do respect you a lot for your thoughts ..
Singles site this is .. yes. But the options provided by the website say .. looking ( again different options here ) , friends , penpals etc .. there are so many. So the people who arent looking are justified in being here.
Now .. " they dont want us to flirt with them" . I am not sure of this cos personally i can understand how you would think and not want to flirt. I think similarly.. But a lot of people find it harmless flirting , sometimes good fun and sometimes just playing along. Yes.. damaging flirting also happens.
Point is.. it cant be one sided. There are always two people involved.. so considering people as mature adults, whatever suits each other really. Its for them to think .

Also.. look closer... many (not all) of the women that claim to taken are the ones doing a lot of the really heavy flirting
but the same with men
Now this is something i have noticed here and there .But i honestly stay out of certain threads that i know i wouldnt be able to participate in for whatever easons .. so i cant say with confidence.
I am a little old fashioned in my thinknig and have a different opinion. But hither too i think its the sense of mature adult behavior thats important.
Important to know that the other person could be someone's existing or potential partner and that our behavior in no way should fuel any disharmony in their lives. So its individual discretion me thinks.
