paydaydave: I think the title kind of says it all.
Personally I find it offensive when they come up as my matches...???
I'm here to meet someone...hopefully! So why match me with someone who doesn't want to meet someone?
"Not single, Not looking" should NOT be an option when filling out a profile on a dating site!
Find something else to pass your time...LIKE YOUR MATE!!
Maybe get a hobby or join a gym, a job, whatever?
It will be curious to see who dis-agrees with this and why!!
Errr...considering this is a site for singles.....and we were given a choice to be what we want to be I'd say this is a perfect site for all singles.
If they match you up with someone who says they don't want to date....that's not our problem...that's the problem of the creator of this site for not having the proper programming.
paydaydave: Old school, I guess... advice and suggesting I'm a "control freak", from a coward who won't show their face on their profile?? Apparently you have your own phobias.
A dating site is for "dating", not for someone who can't find a "friend" to share a hobby with. If I was looking for a collecting comic books, or model railroading, or ice fishing companion, the last place I would look is on a dating site!
Seems you defend this ridiculous notion because you are scared to meet someone, because you are comfortable being alone, have no life and like to put your 2 cents so you feel like your life has meaning.

been a while since i posted something here and its fun to see the police is still there to monitor all the postings that 'freshies' do here.
i once started a similar topic (almost did not survive it) and i agree with the poster of this one although its an old posting, its still actual.
the posting before mine obviously comes from one of the real moderators of this site cause its a non judgemental and wise reply. respect.
nevertheless i still feel the same way as the starter of this topic, and in respect of the founders of the site that indeed offers a great working free platform, the only flaw in my opinion is the chosen name.
it should be called 'connecting people' more than 'connecting singles'. that covers the load a bit better.
mollybaby: You mean he is Not Looking for women outside of Canada?
He has broken one of his self-imposed rules himself.
Yes, he's not looking for a woman outside Canada (according to his profile) on an international dating site. CS has given him the option to choose "Canada only" like other choose "not single/not looking"!

bohemianjack: Imagine that... Reviving a thread broadcasting a bitter outlook that hasn't produced a date..
For shame eh? Some wallow in misery and will question for decades why nobody wants them and others make the best of each day, remain hopeful and positive because it's their nature to be that way and they will attract. Even they may not find someone but they're happy campers nontheless.

You make a very good point. I ran into one of those the other day and it didn't make any sense to me. The thing I really find irritating here is going through all the preferences and age groups, and I still get matches that smoke or are looking for someone younger.
