I would like to know why men say that they are single and available when they aren't?

It puts women who are serious about connecting with someone in a horrible position. When you finally make the connection with someone and months down the line you find out that they already have a GF, and that they have been with them for a long time, you have become the online mistress. By this point you have already invested a lot of time and you have created a frienship based on lies.. Can anyone shed some light?

"I would like to know why men say that they are single and available when they aren't?"

Why not use the word people instead of men? It works both ways. I was seeing a woman for about 4 months until I found out I wasn't the only one she was dragging into bed. That's 4 months I wasted when I could have found someone better.

I bet there are just as many married women on here posing as single.

Mostly because it is new excitement. Maybe they are bored in their relationship, they want to spice it up but they still love their other half.

Okay, Raynew has a point here...let's don't just pick on the guys...girls can be players too...but either way, why is fidelity such a difficult choice for men or women?...are those chosing that path scared someone's going to pass them by...looking over fences again..make a choice and see it through...

I think it's a mindset. You can be involved with someone but not really committed to them (not saying I agree with this at all)so when it's said they are single and available - in one respect they are. I've heard those words myself - but the words themselves don't mean anything if the rest of it doesn't back them up. If they're concerned with what's on the other side of the fence - I'm just as likely to open the gate and push them through...then slam it shut. That having been said - I am single and available...

You know, speaking of other side of fence. I was bored on day and looking at the gay ads on this site. Lots of married women looking for extra's for their husband and lots of divorced guys wanting to try the other way.

Okay lionhearted, that might qualify for another type thread...not one I want to know too much about...not sharing my man with another woman or another man...

Why is it that when I am looking for that dream woman, I
ONLY hear what I want to hear? How stupid can I be to think
that anyone out there will be totally honesty with me?
I really think you are lucky!! You only have a few months of lost time. Not years. You could be out more then time!!


People lie!
Most people are only out for them selves!
Get used to it, it is just life!!!
Sorry for your pain!

I think that it is not just in the fact he has a gf or is married...I think a man should not say he is available and looking for a relationship --if he cannot commit to one....Just be honest from the get-go and that way people can make the choice to try or not-----Agree?

I don't know why individuals say that they're unattached when they are clearly committed to someone in one way or another.

I have had the misfortune to see both genders do this to someone. The result is always the same; hurt, anger, frustration.

In the end, no one wins. And the truth always tends to come out at some point.

Fidelity and honesty are definitely qualities that I find attractive. I hope all of you who are out ther searching for that special someone, find exactly what you need.

Stay well,

These people who create the false illusion ruin things for us. It creates mistrust and causes for the guard to go up.

James (Very much single and available)
