I know two girls right now who have a profile on POF and OKC and both are currently in a relationship

One girl is someone I met on OKC but never meet in person because she met someone else before I a chance to meet her. I asked why is her profile still on OKC and she said because he won't delete his

The other girl is at my job and has a profile on POF and overheard her talking to one of her friends about all the drama she is going through with this guy



So why should men take online dating seriously when it's probably tons of women who have profiles and in a relationship. Why not look for sex?

Why do you think those women who are in relationships and getting laid every day will have sex with you? They don't need you.

BTW, the men online are mostly in relationships, too.

The overwhelming majority of people (regardless of gender) I have known on dating websites are single. That's why they're dating. I find it odd that anyone would view it otherwise.

No, the paid sites are far, far worse. They keep ads up that are 5 or 10 years old, just so it will look like they have a lot of matches for you.

In my age group, there are a high proportion of men who say they are in a monogamous relationship. Maybe they are all lying; I dunno.

Nice, so you know two women and that means no guys should take it seriously

Trust me bro, there are plenty of good women online and there are plenty of women that will go out and cheat even if they have never touched online dating in their lives.

The things you guys come up with are just ridiculous. "I know two women, so that means online dating is useless for all men"

Seriously.. ?

The people I know that are active on dating sites (friends and people I meet) are either single or poly, so they're looking to date. They might be in relationships, but they're still looking to date/meet people, and their relationship allows for this.

Of course lots of people just never turn off their profiles even though they have done OLD for years.

But it doesn't sound like either of these girls ARE in relationships, but are rather interested in these guys they met on dating sites and both sound like they are going through too much drama.

# 1) She sounds like she is dating this guy, into this guy, but he won't give her the commitment she wants by not deleting his profile. So she won't delete hers. He is open to other options. She knows this and still chooses to date this guy, but it does not sound like a serious monogamous relationship.

#2) Also sounds like a scenario in which the two are dating, but probably haven't yet had talks of anything serious. She's into him and is willing to accept the drama for now. They may only be dating without defining anything about their relationship as exclusive so they may both still be on the dating site until they'd talk about exclusivity.

So I think in your terms "relationships" may not necessarily mean exclusive ones.
