I say it depends on their motives. Some are looking for a quickie because they are unhappy in their marriage but are too afraid to end it. Others just like meeting new people. ^^

sure do, this isn't even an issue for us, just a way to stay in touch with friends and each other as well. The forums are a riot at times, stupid at others, fun at times, boring at others.

From what I've seen thus far on this thread, it's apparently taboo for a person who is married to come onto a socialization site to share some time with friends. I guess once you're married, your life is over.

I've heard all kinds of stuff about it myself. it's actually funny at times. My wife gets email all the time telling her she shouldn't be here. So far I haven't, but you never know. If a married person is here and trying to decieve folks then that is wrong, other than that, married is just as much allowed than single, its not just a dating site, its called MINGLE2 which means 2 mingle

I see nothing wrong with it if they are just here to chat that is...or penpal.. and with that intent only...

We won't tell him our little secret

as far as cheating iv'e never believed in that

Ironically, most people can't see past that part. By definition, "mingle" means to associate, to take part with others, to participate, to mix company. I don't see a single thing in that definition about dating, yet that's the only thing most people think when joining this site.

Married too. My profile is very clear. Here for the forums, and new friendships.

I've heard rumors that you can actually meet someone on here and that things can happen.

quite frankly, i'd much rather have conversation with a married man that respects his relationship with his wife and is not flirting with me than.... a single guy on here that emails me sweet lil nothings to make me feel special and in reality hes sending the same exact notes to someone else.....

JMO, if the wife is on a site and husband knows, cool...and vice versa! It's when those "dirty little secrets" start happening that one thing leads to another!

First of all, let me set my side of the record straight.

I am a widower. I was married for almost 24 years and my wife and I were together for 26 years.

In my circle of friends in my off-line life, almost all of my friends are married. I am a very close friend of a lot of my buddies wives.I am also a close friend to some of the women that were in my wifes life before we got married. I would not trade that for the world. My friends wives have helped me through a very transitional time of my life. Yes, even married people need friends of the opposite sex. You can be friends with a woman and there not be a sexual relationship involved. You have to think with your brains upstairs, not the brains between your legs. There is such a thing as accountability. To thine own self be true.

Now as for my married lady friends on here. Yes, I do have married lady friends on here also. I would not trade their friendship for anything in the world.These ladies are very special and dear to me.They also have helped me out through my time of grieving my wifes passing. All we are is friends. We all need friends whether they are married or not.

So , as far as I`m concerned, if you have a problem with a married woman being on this site. You need to check your own situation out and keep your nose out of other peoples business. Keep your act straight and you won`t have to worry about what other people are doing.

Thanks for letting me use the soapbox to air my opinion about this.

You may disagree with what I have posted, but that again is your right. As I also have the right to post my opinion on the subject. We may not agree with each other, but that is why we live in a free country, and can have our own opinion without someone else trying to interfere with our stating so.

Thanks again. rara777

CRAP! I better get outta here!!!!!

my point was.. you cant possibly steriotype people like that.. not all married folks are cheaters, just as not all single people are Dating or not dating are. it all comes from respect for yourslef and for others. trust is a big factor in relationships without it you cant have a happy relationship. sure we all been bit in our azz before for trusting.. but who wants to go through life in a miserable untrusting relationship?

Well said

trust.. till a given reason not to trust is there, and if it becomes a distrust facter, why bother to waste your time being miserable? distrust is not a nice feeling to have..
