Most of the people that join a dating site are single.
This is a dating site, so they meet, form relationships and stay on the site because of friendships and they enjoy posting to the forums.
For those that join and are married, that is a choice they make and will have to live with it.
At least they are being honest about the intent when you find out they are involved..................good luck finding an internet site that has 100% free and single people that are not dating......................

I agree with what most of the others have posted.
We come here single, and make friends, and create bonds.
When we meet someone special, do we just throw the friendships away?...Not so easily, when you have met great people.
I ask Phillippes what was his opinion as to my decision to stay on the forums, and he backed me up, saying keep your friends, I trust you completely. He was here such a short time he has no idea what the forums and bonding are like here, but I valued his opinion, and his trust.
But I also made it very clear on my profile yesterday that he found me. And if someone refuse to see that and e-mails me, I would just ignore the mail, too bad he did not take time to look at the first 3 lines in my profile.
No singles site is 100% percent singles, what about all the imposters that are married, or in live in relationships?
Do you consider a person that is seperated, legally or not to be single? Because they are on a dating site? No there are still legal issues binding that person to the other.
Then there are those people that are married, and seeking a third partner for the bedroom.
None of the singles site are going to be "the 100% percent single, unless you want to close your eyes to the facts that many have been hurt when they found out the other person had been decievibg them all the time.
I am just showing the many ways this can be seen...
If I was no longer single, I'd still be here..to particpate in the forums. But I wouldn't be here looking for someone to date or mate or whatever.
A person who is legally separated is legally separated, but they're not "single." And, typically, they're not ready for a relationship again so quickly, which is fine, but I stay away from "separated" people, too. I want to make sure whoever I go out with is emotionally available for a long-term relationship.
I don't think that reputable dating sites such as this one should allow profiles of those seeking extramarital activities. That should be left to the so-called "adult" dating sites.
When I came on i was single. I met my love while I was here and met some awesome friends too. We have stayed here because of our friends. Just because I am taken does not mean i will leave my friends behind. I won't do it. I want to stay in contact with them and I do enjoy posting on this forum.

I did not think I wouls see solicitation here either, but I learned it by having been approach, by a lady looking for "fun" for her husband...totaly sickning!
And I sure nmade it known...I have been aproach by lesbians too...on both the above, and in this one, I have made it clear that is not my interest, and to take their dirty mission of recruiting elsewhere.
When I came here I was not searching profiles, I came to the forums.
I have never needed to look through mens profiles, because they were contacting me, and I would nicely respond, and look back at those that looked at my profile. My full intentions was that I would make great friends, and maybe love would grow out of that.
I am here for the fact that I am a widow and hope to find that special someone to journey through life with me. Have had my heart tromped on a couple of times. But that iS OK, as they say live and learn. I have been here several months and have made many friends. Will want to stay in contact with them no matter if I do get connected. I also enjoy the forums a great deal.
Well, I came on single, got hooked up, but in the proccess made some great friends and had a wonderfull time. So, My profile indicates im taken and i stuck around for the friends I made...the conversation and the laughs
