@Carissimi thank you for the kind response. the bloody hell is about the hope for connection being pounded again and again

there is no expectation, only developing hope that gets ground down. and yes they are always good conversation as they are typically good people, and occasionally the spark of a hope for more
Carissimi · F
@OogieBoogie He didn’t say he was trying to find love. He said he had a conversation, and when she mentions her husband he somehow has to deal with it. Did he tell her upfront that he only wants to talk with potential mates? I think you are conflating two different things here.
@Carissimi No, i dont think i am .
And no one, bar a [b]very [/b] blunt person would say upfront they "only want to talk to potential mates", thats rude.

Not all men are looking only for masturbatory fodder. One can tell from his morals of being disappointed that she was married, that he implies something deeper.
A man looking for something shallower would not have any qualms about that.

Many men, like women and others, hope to find a life partner, someone to share their life with.

The fact that he avoided saying it outrightly is an obvious nuance of him being ethical and dissapointed while not putting his desire and hope up for sale.

...at least they're telling you instead of stringing you along.

You can still be friends with married people. Not everyone is here for funny business.
Fluffybull · F
@Starcrossed Exactly. If you're having an interesting conversation with someone it doesn't necessarily mean they fancy you. Mentioning a husband/boyfriend is probably their way of saying "I'm really enjoying this talk but don't think we're going to date (etc) coz I'm spoken for".
Tracos · 51-55, M
@Starcrossed oh dont get me wrong. I appreciate the honesty and the expectation setting.
It’s a different sort of catfishing, isn’t it?

Bait & switch.

Married people ought to be up front. But they’re not, always.

@Mamapolo2016 I am assuming its not intentional, its just so uncomfortable
Ynotisay · M
I'd think that's probably someone I'd want to get to know because they have integrity.
Tracos · 51-55, M
@Ynotisay oh they are typically really good people
Maybe make it clear from the start what you are looking for. Ask for honesty. Choose friends wisely. Why would a woman not say from the start that they are married? You must communicate better and clearly. I doubt you will find a partner here. Too many fakes and frauds. You would be better off looking locally. On say a meetup.com. Or looking for clubs or get-togethers who share your passions/interests, Tracos. I hope you drop those liars.

She wants your attention without the commitment of an online relationship. It’s a classic move here(on SW) with married women.
It’s a desperate but it’s understandable given the attitude people have towards platonic relationships.

@Magenta really? Who have you been talking to? Probably a kale eater, latte drinker, home yoga aficionado 😂
Magenta · F
@eMortal 😂 Totally not my type.

That used to happen to me quite often but at the time a girl would talk about her boyfriend.
You just have to take it on the chin, as frustrating as it may be.
Tracos · 51-55, M
@justanothername its the only way to go I reckon
Flenflyys · 31-35, F
Maybe you could talk to them like human beings without the expectation of sex or romance
Tracos · 51-55, M
@Flenflyys its not about sex, its about connection
ErecSchunn · 46-50, M
I’m going to give you a POS take: The majority of women I meet, Are either married or attached. And I guarantee they all have vulnerabilities, and I’ve made more than one FWB with someone who declared themselves off-limits.

I’m unapologetically a POS.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
I think it means that they probably trust you as a confidential friend. An important junction for you to not prod for deeper details. Don't stray beyond validating which is probably what they are expecting.
JamesBugman · 56-60, T
Do they say they are married because they are being honest, or because they are lying snakes and just don't like you. Hmm.
Tracos · 51-55, M
@JamesBugman my working assumption is honesty
I understand many married people are lonely in their relationships, but it does make it hurtful for singles who wre hoping to make a special connection with potentiality.

Married people have nothing to lose - while singles get hurt, waste time and feel used .

I sympathise....it kinda makes you feel like someones hobby and ego booster 😒
caccoon · 36-40
Are they mentioning it after you've spoken sexually with one another?
Tracos · 51-55, M
@caccoon its not about sex... its about connection
