One Third of Online Daters MARRIED
Who uses online dating sites? According to MSNBC, research shows that one third of people who use online dating services are married. “And it doesn’t help when some dating sites out there, like Udate, do not differentiate between divorced and separated, making it even more convenient for a man to lie about his marital status – Online Dating Magazine.”
South Coast Today’s article, “Husband claims he uses dating service just to find 'free porn' online” (April 23, 2007 6:00), discuss why married men are attracted to these online venues.
I discovered that last year, my husband created a free personal profile on an online dating site that is designed to meet women in our vicinity. Of course, I was crushed. Before I approached my husband, I checked our computer history to see what sites had been visited, what kind of e-mails he has been getting, and any other surprises. Fortunately, I found nothing except the fact that he did not answer any of the responses to his profile.
I told my husband how hurt and disappointed I am. He claims that because the dating sites are free (unlike the porn sites), it's a convenient way to receive online sexy pictures of women. So for him, it's just free porn. (Read full article.)
Online Dating Magazine’s article, “Online Dating: How to Stay Clear of Married Men”, provides 11 tips on how to spot a married man online.
Tip #1: He chooses not to post a picture of himself online, or he posts a picture that may be very dark and difficult to pick him out of a crowd.
Tip #2: He will likely be the one to initiate the first contact.
Tip #3: He may be very irregular or erratic about his responses back to you.
Tip #4: He requests your phone number, but will not give you his number.
Tip #5: His calls to you are very irregular, or are at set times.
Tip #6: He will only share his cell number with you.

How about he's got a wedding band tan? Actually, I think even 'shopping around' online if you're in a relationship is cheating. It's one thing to ogle women at bars etc like virtually every guy does, but if you are in a committed relationship and are actively perusing 'ads' of women seeking companionship, that's going one step too far in my opinion and I'd consider it cheating. If you're unhappy then you should get out of the relationship and move on, but because it's all virtual, there seems to be this sense that it's safe and ok and doesn't hurt anyone, which is just not true.
Of course there's a bunch of married guys on these websites, dating sites practically encourage them. None of these sites have any effective ways of checking a guy's relationship status, and if they did, they might lose 30 percent of their paid membership.
The sites should wake-up and realize the long-term gain they would enjoy if only they would make a small effort to clean up their membership.
This is a good list. I once "dated" a man for 6 months who wouldn't allow me to visit his home, less than an hour's drive away. He visited me every 10 days or so, but rarely made plans before the same day. He gave me a PO Box for his address. Finally, as the infatuation began to wane, it slapped me upside the head that he must have another woman, either a live in or wife. I called it off.
Thanks for including me on your blogroll. Very cool!
