There are people on here, of both sides of the gender divide, who are married, or in a LTR, but still have a profile on a dating site. Of course, they present themselves as being single and looking. Essentially, these people are what I call The Shoppers. They are looking around to see if something better comes up. In which case they will exit their existing relationship. This includes those types who cannot be alone, and will only exit a relationship when they have another one to jump into. Then there are the Players. They are looking for a piece of action "on the side". Dating sites offer Players a perfect environment to do their window shopping. They lead double lives. How do you feel about these two types of members. They are among us.

I'm neither a "shopper or player".. Although I have a girlfriend.. my profile clearly states that and about/who her.. and that she'd break my neck if I was "lookin".. I'm here to be with my pals, to busy-body around, and just for the human contact.. --SoldierByte---

So one is deceitful and the other is looking to play around? Not interested in either kind.

There may well be people here as you describe, but you are quite wrong to suggest everyone on CS, or any other dating site, who is in a relationship falls into either of those categories.
Some of us have been on and of the forums for a long time, you are relatively new, (unless you are a reincarnation of a past member) and after some time, the site is often used more for debate, discussion, keeping in touch with friends etc, rather than what it is truly intended for...meeting and dating.
I´m happy in my relationship, as others here are. We state clearly in our profiles that we are not looking. I don´t flirt, or communicate with men in a romantic sense, and I certainly don´t window shop. My partner knows I log on here from time to time, and he is not in the slightest bit worried about it or indeed remotely interested in what goes on here.
I also use other forums related to my work, and for me, being here occasionally is exactly the same as being on other forums, apart from the thread and post content which obviously differs.
