BEWARE!
They are either spam or taken or looking for sex or playing games.

It's possible that they just changed their profile. I don't think POF lets you delete your profile, so maybe they found someone and just want people to know so they don't receive messages?

Or maybe they are looking to fool around but want the respondent to know that they aren't looking for a relationship.

1.Some of these people want a relationship but draw in a attention by saying that. It's reverse psychology and denial.

2.Or some people are tired of getting hit on constantly and put that status on their profiles.

...I like the first one better. It's more believable.

1. Keeping their options open

2. They changed it to that after they met someone. (last GF and I met through POF and we did that together. I thought it was slightly corny, but she wanted it..l)

Think about it: they're on a dating site. Obviously, there are looking to date or they wouldn't be there.

Still though, it's a red flag to me because they're obviously playing games and not being honest. It also suggests possible craziness.

Yes, attention seeking is sky high when it comes to women nowadays and even more apparent for women who participate in online dating. It's only in this generation however, women in their 35+ aren't known for attention seeking behavior but they have had time to develop as a person from either hitting the wall or grew up in a time where Morales were properly implemented.

Newsflash kids... it means "I'm in a relationship and I'm not leaving said relationship but I really want to bang someone who's not my significant other."
