Sometimes while looking through profiles I'm like ooo hot guy, I'm gonna leave a sexy, flirty comment! Then when I see he's a in a monogamous relationship and I'm like oh...forget it. It's not that the guy becomes less hot, it's that I have pretty much zero motivation to flirt with someone in a committed relationship, regardless of why he has a profile here, if it's an open relationship etc. I just don't feel like flirting even if I know it wouldn't have resulted into anything IRL had they been single. Anyone else?

Does the "In a Monogamous Relationship" status turn you off a profile?

Posted by a hidden member.Log in to view his profileQUOTE Jun 27, 2012 4:55 AM GMTwell, it's always nice to know one's limits and if the other one is already taken and in a committed relationship, it certainly is not right to even attempt to do something with that person. And yes, I do back off. It's a line I don't cross.

I'm with you on not flirting with someone who's in a relationship. -
QUOTE Jun 27, 2012 7:04 AM GMTI don't see a problem with complimenting someone's body if they are showing it off but I wouldn't flirt with them.
If it was just the fact that someone isn't available there would be very few comments made since we are all spread out geographically and even though something could happen between people on different continents it is unlikely. -

Posted by a hidden member.Log in to view his profileQUOTE Jun 27, 2012 12:08 PM GMTI for one appreciate this!
Earlier this week a guy on here kept emailing me notes like "We should get together" and "Invite me over" and "I am the answer to your bottom dreams" (ok, really? does that line actually work?). I just ignored them. Did you NOT read my profile? Some of us really are on here for the fitness tips (well, and the forum drama).
That said, everyone likes picture comments.

You expect people to read your profile? Just forget it.
Only after I put it in my Profile headline that I'm taken did those simpering 'I want to be with you forever' mails stop. -

I'll have to consider that. I've got monogamous checked, and I devote a profile paragraph to telling guys not to hit on me, and yet they still do.
I assume they're mostly scams, a lot from outside the US, likely looking for money, or help with a visa or something from me. But I get a few a month, almost always with a new RJ account, giving rather explicit descriptions of what they want from me sexually, mostly all young guys. And they'll mention my being older, so they've read my profile.
Dudes? I'm old enough to be your grandfather, out of shape and not the least bit attractive, so your motive is rather suspect, yah know? But more than that, I said I'm monogamous and mean it, I don't want you, so why bother?

But Samuel, without hate, people feel happier, and as a result more open, honest and upfront about who and how they love.
When that happens, everyone has a better chance to find another that has the same values as themselves without getting involved with incompatible people.
Less broken hearts, my friend.

QUOTE Jun 27, 2012 2:11 PM GMTyeah, same here Ariodante: i don't mind chatting with guys in relationships, and being social. its fine, but i think its a waste of my time to get flirty or overtly sexual about things - barking up the wrong tree! if he's wanting to go that route, its downright manipulative. total turn off.

Posted by a hidden member.Log in to view his profileQUOTE Jun 27, 2012 2:19 PM GMTI've shamelessly left compliments on all kinds of guys profiles. I know it will take more than a few words on a computer screen to someone more than likely too far to reach. Mind you 10 miles is too far for me. If there is any cheating-home wrecking, it will take 2 to tango, 50/50 shared blame. But I'm too emo'ed out at the moment to even trip someones radar. So my own guilt from passed experience is irrelevant.

lol, well that's different. Open relationships and polyamorous ones are not cheating in relationships. Cheating can happen in all kinds of relationships. It's when the people involved are not honest.

Posted by a hidden member.Log in to view his profileQUOTE Jun 27, 2012 3:55 PM GMT@Ariodante - ha ha haaa.. I'm feel exactly the same way! If a guy is attached in any way I just loose all interest or cant seem to muster up any.
On the other hand even though all my online profile clearly indicate that I prefer SINGLE (yes in all caps) guys, I still get messaged now and then by attached guys looking to play. So they, like most else, either don't read profiles (most likely) or are just giving it a shot. -
