"Any" under marital status
| Thu, 03-17-2005 - 4:26pm |
I've been browsing profiles and I've noticed that some of the men list "any" as a potential date's marital status. It makes me think these guys are looking for the "booty call".
Am I being too harsh here? Do guys just fill these out and sometimes don't notice?

No, I agree - there are way too many people who leave "any" as the default selections under "my match".
When I first posted my profile, I'd checked "any" for what I was looking for because it never occurred to me that MARRIED would be one of the options!! "Who would admit that they were married?", was what I was thinking.
My friend pointed out to me that it's a pop-up list and you individually choose "divorced", "never married", whatever.
So maybe the guys are just being blonde like me! (but somehow I suspect not...)

I avoid the separated guys also...their relationship issues just
are not completed to me. If you're not divorced then you're actually
still married.
I also avoid the guys who have not filled in the marital status as I've
found those guys are usually married and just looking for some side action.
I also notice many don't fill in if they have children or not. Strange.
Do they think women don't notice the things they have avoided filling in???

Hi Vexer,
Yes we DO read the profiles and yes we DO overanalyze things! It's just how we are! But I'm glad that I am how I am! My ex husband hated that I would analyze things, but he wouldn't take the time to think about anything very much! Yes, he was a definite - NEXT, it just took me awhile to realize that!

Guys are often idiots. :)
But I'm with you- I can't believe how many people don't pay attention to that part of a profile, or think they're being clever in putting "not answered" or something like that.
Personally, I always run my searches with the "separated" and "married" people filtered out so I never even see them.
Every so often when I would do an "online now" search, I might see a really cute gal, read her profile, she seems really cool, why didn't I see her before, she must be new... oh, wait, she's separated (ie, STILL MARRIED). NEXT!
