I think it's great that you've made a group for those who've lost a loved one. Since I choose to say I'm single on my profile, I'm excluded from this group even though I am a widow. Being a widow is something I share at an appropriate time in my correspondence with someone because it can scare people off.
Perhaps a better (or separate) group choice would be Grief Support or something like it. Then everyone who'd like to find support in their loss would have a place. There are those here who've lost someone significant to them who aren't widows or widowers.
Just a thought.

If you post it anywhere on any of these threads the world can see it. We do not have privacy on the forums or in our profiles. Just wanted to let you know that anyone on the internet and this dating site now knows that you are a widow.

Thanks Queen, I'm aware of that. I don't have any problem with anyone knowing, it's simply not how I portray myself anymore. I've posted several things in the forums under my old ID.

I am divorced not a widower but I put single not divorced because I am not married. I do tell the gentlemen I chat with that I have been married but I should have the choice to put either/or just as long as I am honest about it. I don't think anyone should exclude themself because what they choose to place on their profile. I don't go into the widowers group because I have not experienced what the widowers have ... I can only imagine.

Sometimes Slinky, your logic simply escapes me. How am I being less than truthful? I've just explained my situation in this thread, and I've talked about it openly in the forums. What about someone who has lost a live-in love, or a parent? A sibling? Shouldn't they be allowed to communicate with others who have lost someone close to them?
Quit going for the cheap shots for shock effect. It's really getting old.

Smiley I agree with you. I lost a sister very dear to me almost 3 yrs ago to cancer. It would be nice if there was a place for us to go and chat.
And Slinky do get a life and stop butting in. It does get very old.

I agree......I have been divorced, and my second husband died....I use SINGLE for description of present status and give info if asked. But, am unable to get into the widow chats. ...Thanks for listening.
