Lots of people on these date sites are misleading and in reality are using them as the local watering hole for discussion. Supposedly the purpose of these forums is to assist in people meeting so they can date and hook up. But, you can find a large number of people who simply come here to meet friends, kill time, and play. Lots are wasting time of people who are very seriously wanting to find a mate or simply a date. Maybe there should be a way to separate them in various discussions/meeting places...maybe filter out those looking for just friends or email ... possibly could apply to intimate encounters as many of us are actually hoping to find a serious relationship as our ultimate goal.

wave To be honest.. I think lots of people here manage to do both.

'Rome wasn't built in a day'.. yanno..

'Patience is a virtue'...

and

Well the line for "free speech" is getting really thin with what you are suggesting; we should all be able to intermingle; and I have another theory about that too; just as most people have a price, they also have a match; someone not interested in you in particular might be chasing another relentlessly wink

I find the forums are the best way to get a serious insight into peoples' real natures especially when the debate gets hot and heavy.

Speaking for myself, despite my geographical distance from pretty much everyone, I would pursue a connection that felt appealing.

So while I see your point I think it doesn't necessarily givve an accurate picture of what happens here. The search for a partner makes one vulnerable, many here have been hurt before, it is only natural to have defences in place.

yes...that is very true....but then the point of the post is that maybe there could be one topic for threads which are intended solely for seriously looking people and not merely for chit chat of those who are ONLY for the forums. Actually, most of the people I IM with and exchange emails with are ladies who are married and in a serious relationship already... we are only friends and quite open and helpful with each other in our discussions and have absolutely no intention of meeting.

I agree with Bajanblue. I like the fact that I can get to understand a nature of a person to a certain extent before I think about pursuing them. I am not here to waste time just speaking on the forums, but to learn from new friends and about potential partners.

I do think you have a valid point here, and I want to reply to this thread as intelligently as is possible, but can't seem to form the sentences I need to *say* what I *feel* about this topic.

I do think it's a good topic though and I'm going to go think on it while I smoke.

Thank you for bringing it up.

...perhaps some came to find what you discribe as a "serious" relationship
BUT many relationships have been formed
...there fore anything there fore after would be that of a added bonus.

All good lite to you and the best of luck in what it is your searching...:)

I get the impression that perhaps he is talking about a separate Forum Topic/ category only for those who are truly serious about finding someone else as seriously looking to form a relationship..with those who are not, they stay out of it...many would make it their business not to leave them alone but be constantly interjecting their snide remarks and ridiculing them. Far too many here have the mentality that would make them a big hit on a website like that POF or Book of Matches which really, is where they belong in fact. JMO
