Not a dating site...

[Phoenix]

Does anyone else feel this way?

We've seen a few posters advertise lately. Personally, I don't like seeing advertisements for dating on QLC. I think it's fine to try to meet up with friends that are in your area that you meet on the boards or whatever, but that places like Match.com are more appropriate for dating ads.

Thoughts?

(Note: This thread isn't to bash posters...I'd like to know how other people feel about it.)

I say if they wanna do it, let em. Not hurting anything. We all sit here and complain about being alone. At least those people are making their efforts. And it gives us something to talk about. It's win-win really.

ok... lemme expand on my view....I think people should be able to do it unless they are harrassing anyone.

well maybe besides play, work, life, dreams etc... we should have one for dating?? things wont be confused! i mean if you arent looking for a date, then the dating thread will be one that you wont be hanging out on.

i'm opposed to having a "find a date" aspect of qlc, because like someone else said there are more appropriate sites for that. if it is an absolute must then i'd prefer to have a separate forum just for that instead seeing it mixed in with play, life, or somewhere else.

So, kimmer.....wanna hook up? Maybe coffee....a movie?

[kimmer23]

CK,

whats the half way point between OK and MD?? we'll meet there!!

[Crimson King II]

Hmmmmm.....looks like Indianapolis. Or perhaps Nashville. Since I'm the guy, I'll need a plan...Nashville it is...I think there's more to do there. And if we really hit it off, we'll take in Elvis' jungle room (which is in Memphis, actually...but, hey! You're worth it!) and see what happens!

;)

[kimmer23]

since you mentioned being the guy you could come here to baltimore...but that probably wouldnt work out with the husband and all.

oh i've never been to nashville. its always nice to visit new places!

[Crimson King II]

Um...well....C told me I can't go. So nevermind. But I'll call you in three days, ok?

[kimmer23]

how about a 4 some? we could be swingers! haha! i need swinger clothes. i guess that would give me a reason to go shopping!

[Crimson King II]

Okay! Well....that's enough of this thread for one Monday....


But, what exactly constitute "swinger clothes?" I'm intrigued.

[kimmer23]

i am not sure about a female swinger, but i seem to think of a lot of chest hair when i think about a male swinger. so i suppose he would wear a lot of shirts with buttons. dont forget the pinky ring!

[Crimson King II]

Ugh.....yeah....enough of this. Maybe we'll just have to get together in the next lifetime, Kimmer.

[kimmer23]

well coffee still sounds nice....
hehe!

[Crimson King II]

Good then! Coffee it is....anytime, Kimmer...anytime...

[paperjam1015]

[Crimson King II]

One QLC girl at a time for me pj...we'll make arrangements later.

[paperjam1015]

[Crimson King II]

Touche.

Anyone else have input toward the original topic at hand?

[kitalyn414]

i agree with you. this is not a dating site. we are here to help eachother work through our problems. if you are having trouble meeting people, post here and explain your situation. describe how you feel and the exact nature of the issue, then expect some feedback and suggestions.

i suppose that making a love connection on here could be a pleasant side effect of the "virtual friendships" we have established, but i don't feel that this is the place for personal ads.

[Phoenix]

Kitalyn, I think you conveyed my sentiments much better than I did in my original post. :)

[kimmer23]

i think it would be a little different if 2 qlc members were friends on here and then eventually started dating because they just clicked. but there are people coming on here and just posting something about finding a date for the hell of it. i wonder how they even find this site? i just typed in the website from the back of the qlc book and there it was!

QLC (both the book and the concept) has gotten so much press that it's ripe fodder for marketing people. Spam's not allowed, right? So the problem of people hyping dating sites 'cause it's their job (I'm talkin' to you, Mr./Ms. RightPlaceRightTime) should be easily enough dealt with.

But regular posters, not troll-y spammers, are gonna plug whatever they're gonna plug. Besides, I think anyone who's just here looking for a hookup isn't probably gonna stick around very long, anyway. Except like, WeirdBrake.

Totally kidding, dude.
