| Do you think it's wrong to be on this site if you have absolutely no intentions of dating anyone? I know what everyone's sole intentions are when they create their account, however things don't always stay that way.

| right and wrong are only abstract concepts which differ from person to person; they don't really exist. the only one who can really answer that question is you. i have no real delusion of actually meeting anyone on here myself, but that doesn't stop me from being here and driving everyone crazy

| In a word?....NO! Not everyone is on here for the same thing. I came to this site mainly for the forums, and if I make a few friends, that's a bonus. When I saw they created a writers forum, I signed on.

| Well Mzzz,
I joined this site for the forums and I wasn't "looking" for anyone since at that point in my life didn't have the time/energy to put into a relationship and I'm not into the one-nighter thing either. An ex GF referred me to this site thinking I'd enjoy the forums, she was right.
I have met some great people here though, some there's no "chemistry" that I can tell but they're good people, a few I would like to meet, one I definitely want to meet when I get the time to do so.
I'm not sure I could have kept my sanity through the end stages of my mother's illness without the support of some special people here.

| The women that I know that keep saying to me that they don't want to date anybody... always say yes when I ask them out... why do you think that is?

| Hmmm..good question! I think that seeing as it's a dating site, it only makes sense that it be used by those who want to date.
Having said that, there are people who initially joined looking to date who may have met someone who they want to wait and see if it works out, but are not to the committed stage yet. They may want to keep their profile here and continue to use the forums while they are figuring this out. Most (if not all) of those people post in their profile where they are at this point and that they aren't looking for dates right now and I think this is perfectly acceptable.
Also, in my own experience there are times when a particular site may just become too much so to speak and you need a break. On another site, I recently posted in my profile headline "taking a break from the insanity, back soon", but left my profile up and check mail every couple of weeks. I don't want to close the door to a potential decent man, but I really got sick of all the men on that site purely looking to entertain themselves who were not looking for a date. So for now, that was my answer to the situation. It is communicated up front, so I think it's ok and I still am looking to date, just not actively participate on that site right now.
Of course, truth is, there are many who are here out of sheer boredom, who are playing with people, trollers who seek to inflame forums and of course the good ol' cheaters! We could all do without them!

| No.
It's because they WANT to date someone but don't want to look desperate.

| Just a clarification...when I say on sites out of pure boredom, I am referring to those who put themselves out there as interested in dating when they really aren't.
Anyone who is on any site for forums and says so, I have no issue with as long as they are communicating this and not playing with people.

Agree.
If a person is clear on their profile that they are not here looking to date and just here for the forums.. that's cool.
But if they are leading people on.. that's.. well still cool with me.. sounds fun!

| Did somebody mention TOYS??
I'm just here for the free beer!!
Honestly tho.
Can't speak for anyone here other than myself but the first day I joined this site I was looking for nothing but pure, unadulterated wild monkey sex.
Had anyone been gullable enough to take me up on the offer I can most likely say it would have been a one night stand
But then I started actually *reading* these forums.
I feel this is a rare opportunity to actually *discuss* all these dating and sex and relationship and marriage "issues" like no other forum can offer.
If you really think about it... where else can this happen??
This all caused me to sit back and reevaluate myself and how I should treat, not only, women... but everybody.
Been living quite the solitary life since my divorce.... mostly involving myself into work.
(was even *more* solitary when I was married)
But this site has been a reawakening of sorts.
And just when I least expected it?
I met someone!
Still WAY too early to say it's going to work out so I continue to play here when I can.
May even continue to play here after we decide to be an "item"
So that's why I'm here... the therapy, the friends AND the free beer!!
BUURRRRPPPPPPP!!!!
