I have found it extremely difficult to take someone serious if I see another lady's picture on their profile as a friend. I have been told from former dates that the pics doesn't mean anything to them and they only talk periodically. But I say if a person is serious about dating and finding that someone special, they should not be talking to others. Am I being old fashioned or just a prude? Lol I have found me someone on here that does not have other lady's pic on his profile and I admire that quality in him. Any thoughts? DOVE

Hello. I agree. I think if you're on here for something serious then why would you be exposing your relationships with other females. You should only want viewers to see you, not your friend from college.

OP.... aren't you rushing things a bit?

Dating typically starts of casually. That's when you hang out and get to know someone. It doesn't mean you're in an exclusive relationship right from the first time you talk or have a date. People that date are allowed to talk or date others, until they have decided to be exclusive.

Rushing things and insisting a man only talk to you - let alone have female friends - is not a good sign for things to come. Most men will run, because they think you're the needy, clingy and unreasonably jealous type.

Guess you expect a man to dump all of the friends he had before he knew you existed, before he even knows if he wants to ask you out. That's idiotic and a big red flag.

Actually I prefer a woman who insists that I only talk to her and have no female friends. And I would expect the same. That's good ole fashion courtship, from the days when chivalry was still alive. Only playas complain about clingy, unreasonably jealous types.

People should date the way they want to and find someone who prefers to date the same way. The OP would not be true to herself if she were to date the typical way everybody else does. The typical way its done today is called serial dating. OP, you can blame Carey from 'Sex in the City' for making it the popular method.

I think your jumping the gun. Don't you have men friends? It's not fair to you or him to cut yourself off from everyone else. All relationships are built on TRUST. If you have doubts now and there's nothing serious happening but thinking then you need to stop and step back for a bit. You need a friend to listen to you before you jump off the deep end.

A date does not require exclsitivity. It is just a date it dosen't mean you can dictate who or what gender my friends are. I'm too busy to be a "habitual dater" or a "player" but MOST OF US have a life, with people in it, that we've known prior to anyone we are making a "date plan" with. A date is where you find out if your lifestyles are compatable not changeable.

Two things.

One, not everybody has a big modeling portfolio or takes a good pic, they use what they have handy.

Two, you wimminz is competitive and putting a cute girl in their pic is one way to attract a better class of potential date than their ugly ol' self might otherwise be able to.

Just because they're in the pic doesn't mean they're involved, past or present. You could ask before having a tizzy. And not having a woman in the pic, says roughly... nothing.

@rhea27

Yeah, I have trust issues and proud of it. I don't trust anyone who doesn't think like I do. But control issues? NO. I don't think its right to try to control anybody. Its better to find someone who approaches dating and relationships the same way as you do. That I learned in couples counseling, so thats professional advice I'm sharing.

@cafeovino

Dude, no body is saying you need to change the way you handle your business. Some of us are serial daters, some of us are old fashion, such as myself. I'm not trying to convert anybody into being old fashion. All I'm saying is that people should stick to their type. Serial daters should stick to serial daters; and old fashion types should stick to old fashion types.

What if you're dating a man that has female friends in real life? Are you going to insist that he give up his friends, people that were his friends BEFORE you started dating?

Are you going to give up any male friends that you might have?

If a woman tells me I have to lose my friends to date her, I'll tell her she has to lose my number.

I find it rather comical that some of you ppl think I'm needy, clingy or jealous. I am not that way at all! I'm just oldfashioned and happy that I am. I also find it normal for ppl of the opposite sex being friends, but not on a dating site if you are searching for someone to love and date exclusively. It's no wonder couples divorce there's too much free stuff online with just an email. But I am very happy with my results here at DH. THANK YOU, DOVE

If I see the guy has pics w him and a girl I would think that's weird! Y not cut the girl out! But IF he has girls as friends on the profile um nah that's ok. I have "friends" and I chat w a few. My guy is on here and has a few friends & he says he doesn't talk to any of his friends. They just friended him. Ppl like friends on their profiles. I've deleted mine and keep only the ones I actually have talked to here and there. Nothing big just FRIEnds! I'm INTO my guy! I'm NOT going anywhere! I don't know what his plans are but I think he's happy w me or hope so! I TRUST him that's what matters let your guy BREATH who cares if has friends!

Yeah....you are. Some of the people here have been on the internet for years and years and we have friends that we will never meet real life. You are limiting yourself to the possibility of finding a good relationship with that attitude. (Just my opinion)

Besides, being jealous is just ugly. No matter the venue.

Yes and no. Your thread raises two issues.

First, I consider a profile a marketing tool, pure and simple. Were I to post pics, why would I lower my perceived value to a potential monogamous partner by posting pics of me with other women? Perhaps in drama city and gansta land that may create some jealously or something, but even if that was me, at my age that was 40 years ago. So pics should be non deceptive and accurately picture yourself (from the male point of view.. amazing how many pics women post cleverly hide the extra 50 pounds or more).

In your second point, you talk about talking to others. That is fine when we develop and exclusive and somewhat (if not more) intimate relationship, but if we are just chatting on the internet or having an occasional date (i.e. you havent invited me to your house and cooked me dinner), then there is no commitment and the only duty I owe is to be honest. Unless and until we determine that we should go to an exclusive status, I would feel free to talk to and date others.

This is similar to one of my other questions in life..... if we had a non intimate dating relationship, i.e. see someone every couple weeks or whatever, and have not committed to anything, is it wrong to have a friend with benefits to take care of the non coversational aspects of life? (Just asking.... makes for some interesting comments).

OP,

Don't listen to anyone on here who's telling you to loosen up or change your attitude. If you admire your man because he isn't friends with other ladies, thats fine. If that's a quality he chose to have, then he's not going to tell you to loosen up, and that pretty much makes what everyone else is saying here irrelevant.

exactly. just from a picture you've got a wall of beliefs and feelings. Man I have to go find myself a pic of me and a girl then. I'm looking for the least amount of drama. If all it takes is a picture to simplify my life...Hell I'd go to a living in leather convention, furry get together, frickin whatever it takes. The thought never crossed my mind that someone could get their panties in a bunch over something like that.

Please refer to the words I placed in bold within your quote.The OP used the term,former dates.Should I go out with a guy on a date or even a few dates with same guy,that does not make him "my man".

Yes,imo she is being unrealistic and irrational if she thinks that guys are not going to make friends on here along the way thus possibly explaining the ones showing up on his friends list.

Sorry but a date and/or a few dates with another is not the same as being involved in a relationship with another.

And this is coming from someone that is not a serial dater nor a casual dater.In other words,I would not and do not date just to be dating.But if someone did indeed hold my attention/peek my interest in a certain way/s,and should I date this person,it would mean that I did not find him hiding under a rock kind of thing,which also explains why others appear on his friends list.

Yes you are old fashioned, I used to think like you when I was younger. I realized, things don't work like that. That route is only a lonesome road for the most. Though patience and persistence can find a good catch and make up for the efforts, I would rather not deal with such situations where it stresses me out. Stress free is the way to be!

That 'quality' could just be being smart enough to not have any women's pics show on his profile. You wouldn't admire that, would you?

I have a lot of women and men on my friends list here. That means I'm also on their's. Some people show their lists, some don't. I show mine, but only so many show on a profile, so you really don't know who all is on my list. And guess what? I'm not trying to 'get with' any of them, although there are a few single ones I wouldn't say no to.

I'm just saying you need much better criteria for judging whether or not he's a good guy. Pics on a profile and the gender of his friends is pretty crappy criteria.

Yes your being to picky. Men and women have friends who are the opposite sex. Amd may post a picture in my profile as a freind. That doesn't really mean a thing. Did you not have male friends sometime in your life? Besides the issue you should be concerned with is he faithful. Not how many female friends he has. I am a mature male who has had many female friends over the years. Some I dated some I only talked to as friends. Your question to yourself should be is he trustworthy. Honest and respectful. Not how many female friends he has on his profile.

LOL Are you for real? I think having friends or no friends on their profile makes no difference IMO. Just because he doesn't display female friends, doesn't mean he doesn't talk to other women. They don't mean a thing if I'm just getting to know the guy. I don't mind having a collection of male friends. They keep the jealous and insecure type away from me.

Once you become exclusive then of course all that has to change but until then...don't let his no friend profile fool you.

If some ones got female friends on their profile and u don't like it (that's jealousy), if ask him not to speak to them (that's needy) = "jealous and needy" and to be honest if ur like that now u will be a whole lot worse in another 6 months.

Fair enough when the pic is a clear allusion (say a shirtless wanky picture and you don't go for those kind of guys), but when you're inferring mountains from molehills, isn't it a bit like falling in love before you meet or even talk, just the opposite, drawing disqualifiers that are really projections based on some obscure assumption from a photo? I mean, you could at least talk to them and find out, unless it's a proxy for just not being interested in the first place.

I'm a pretty damn good first impressions intuit, but I get way thrown between someone's photos and what they actually turn out to be like in conversation plenty. Maybe you're just used to being intuitive in person, but it really doesn't transfer well to the internet.

This woman basically set her parameters by disqualifying guys who she thinks are people collectors. You don't have to agree with her method, but I think its a bit much to infer that something isn't right in her head (i.e. clingy, jealous, insecure). She simply just wants to be a man's priority and not just another one of his options. Now I don't think this is the right place to find that, but she did say she was happy with her results, so....

So if she was happy; why did she feel the need to post this thread? Something doesn't seem quite right. Just saying.

Don't put to much thought into what it means to have others on someone's profile.

Nothing is a big deal until you make it a big deal...

Dating is just that. Unless you are in a relationship and have agreed mutually to be exclusive, you can talk and date as often as you choose. JMO.

I find it rather comical that some of you ppl think I'm needy, clingy or jealous. I am not that way at all! I'm just oldfashioned and happy that I am.


You're not needy, clingy, jealous....or old-fashioned....

However...

You're unrealistic...

Why?

An old-fashioned courtship occurs after the strongest candidate is selected.
This occurs through process of elimination.

It's quite cocky and presumptious to immediately declare yourself as the "Final Deciding Factor"

You do not make that determination.
He does....

Not every individual is worthy of an old-fashioned courtship (just because they say they are....)

It takes a lot of trust or blind faith, to put all your eggs in one single basket. I think a long time ago, it may have been common, but now, not so much because so many people have gotten burned. Its not unrealistic for two people, who want to date exclusively from the start, to find each other. But if one party doesn't prefer to be exclusive so soon, its better to move on and find someone who does. It will be like finding a needle in a hey stack, but it is possible. As you can see, the majority of people on this site aren't looking to be exclusive so soon and I don't think this site was designed for exclusive dating either. But there are exclusive daters out there, people who know that you don't have to be in a relationship to be exclusive.

I thank you all for your responses and I greatly appreciate them. I 'have' been dating, looking at pics, going to dinners, coffee, milkshakes, and breakfasts with a lot of guys for 4yrs. I AM lucky to have found the qualities I was searching for in my guy. Good luck to all, Dove

Yes I have a date with this guy tomorrow for dinner. We just started out as friends and we can talk about everything. He and I have so much in common already..We are both capricorns and our personality is almost alike. I always heard that opposites attract but that's only a myth. I'll let you all know how my date was. I feel like a school girl waiting on her first date. Lol Dove

It's one thing for him to have his arms wrapped around her kissing her or something, but if she's just a friend, it's all good.

Personally, I think it's not cool to post ex-girlfriend pics, because you're trying to meet someone new. Thats like 2 people brushing their teeth with one tooth brush to me. LOL! What you put out there matters, and when I see a man's profile and he's all hugged up with someone, I don't message him.

Just sayin.

That was funny!

OP
So, as soon as I go on a date with a guy, I'm not supposed to talk to any other guys?
