Is MFP used as a dating site?

I used to be on OKCupid. I ended up meeting my boyfriend at a local event in town, but it would be entertaining if MFP had quizzes and things similar to OKC. What if people could be matched online to be fitness buddies, based on physical similarities and similar goals?! That would be damn cool.

bloody good idea i'd say!!]0 -
It is what you make of it. If you want to find someone to send racy pics to, then I'm quite certain you will have no trouble. If not, then don't.0

Well, we are all here for the same reason...
To get laid.
If anyone needs me I'll be starting multiple threads in the Success sub-forum.

GTFO... Noooo.. Not MFP :laugh: :noway:
If they don't allow dating on here, they certainly wouldn't allow sarcasm0 -
I'm currently in a relationship with my MFP iphone app. It's been 281 days and we're going strong. I think it's love!
lololol!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

I'm sorry, what?
I couldn't hear over dem abs.0 -
Well, is it? I have had friends tell me they have found plenty of people to message… privately and discreetly with pictures, etc.
My take is that most of the women that get really into it in here are married. So the Desperate Housewives of MFP seem to use it to facilitate virtual "cheating" because they don't have time or the means to do it in real life. As mentioned in another thread, a lot of them don't get enough attention from their husbands so they need validation here in order to feel like they are still wanted... Seen this many times...
Agreed.
My take is that most of the women on here who get really into it and are married, don't say they are married... I have also seen quite a few "single" men and women get really really involved on here. It really isn't just a "Desperate Housewives" thing. Which, no offense, but I really hate that term as most women work.0 -
Of course.

Somehow I doubt that these relationships started through the means that the OP suggested, aka junk pics.0 -
I have on my profile that I am married and it seems a lot of people don't care. So yeah, I think that some people use it as a dating site.
Both of our profiles specifically state that we are in a relationship with each other yet people do not respect it. Even people that are/were friends with both of us. :noway:
This would probably because a lot of the people who DO indulge in this type of activity are married. So the ones may say married or reference their husband or wife in their profile, but are still completely willing to be virtually unfaithful. The majority of the married that participate give the individuals like you the short end of the stick, as people in here get stereotyped...0 -
Yes, most but not all. There are a lot of respectable-SINGLE-women on this site that care about their health. Eventually these single women will build in confidence to one day go out in the brave-new-dating-world. Until then some stay celibate (excluding their affair with MFP).0

My inbox is empty. Sickening.0

Yes! I've seen plenty of websites used as dating sites. I did a project on the affect of anorexia and bulimia on young adults and used a popular website. Even that was used as a means to find a mate! If there is messaging and "attractive" people, people can and will use it as a dating site.0

She didn't quote you, so it is POSSIBLE that she wasn't directing her comments to you specifically.
I am married, my husband is on this site, commenting in this very thread. I still have fun in the chit chat section. That's what it is designed for.0 -
I thought every site on the internet that has a form section is a quasi dating site0
