OK, not all women (nor guys for that fact). But with one of the key relationship factors posted --being honesty---how come this happens.

You talk, introduce yourself to someone---they respond, and either initially or a day or two later say "I'm seeing (or have been) someone and gonna try that out". Then of course you see their profile as the most active in existence on the same site and others. Still listed very much as single. This of course would be a profile demanding absolute and perfect honesty of others.

Transparent? Yes.

OK--I've had my successes and failures. Still looking for someone right, but that kinda behavior whether driven by fear or just plain rudeness, it's pretty annoying. AND YES, LADIES--I KNOW THERE ARE GUYS THAT PULL LOTS OF STUNTS TOO---I'M NOT ONE.

Lieing is a defence mechanism innate in humans to hide our faults or bolster ourselves. Either way it sucks.

hmm.. if i were seeing someone for the first time or whenever until i know i am in a confirmed relationship or i know this is the person i want to move ahead with, i wouldnt change anything.

But, if i did find someone so worthy, it would be a pleasure to make the changes in my profile

Well, at least you got a response. Maybe a lie is better than no response at all. I've gone out with men who seem to have a nice time chatting over coffee, I've emailed saying I enjoyed the chat and BOOM absolutely nothing from them. How rude is that????

Sounds like the "I'm seeing someone" is just an easy way of telling a guy you aren't interested.

Not a polite way, or an honest way.....

But in this internet environment, it's easy for folks to be insensitive because they never have to face anyone and say the words in person.

I think people sometimes think that a lie will spare ur feelings.. not true.. I get the impression though she was just trying to indicate that she is not into you.. but didn't want to say it straight..cowardice is the main motivation for lies.. unfortunately hug

Just out of curiousity, assuming the guy wasn't interested, would you prefer being told he's seeing someone or have him admit that you just don't "do it" for him?

Yes, that's a nice way... but some people don't "get" nice messages. Sometimes lies can be used to avoid potential problems too.

What about women that lie about their age? do you feel that that is a problem? It happens a lot on dating sites.

IMO, if it's 3 years or less, I wouldn't say it's a problem. More than 5 years... yes.

Assuming, of course, that they're not lying about being of legal age!

dunno why don't you ask the lady in question at the time? Maybe all of their answers would be a bit different.

Until I meet a person face to face and spend time with that person, knowing that it has the chance of working in r.l., I will consider myself as single.wine
