SW_PA_Couple 4,024 Posted February 3, 2018 Knowing that we would be in Florida for a month or so, we decided to change the location of our two on-line profiles to the city in Central Florida where we would be staying. This make the profiles visible to an entirely new set of people. We included in both profiles that we would be meeting only couples while visiting The Sunshine State. We have successfully made contact with couples but we also receive a half-dozen-a-day messages from single men many of which begin with, "I see that you are meeting only couples but . . . " What's with this? Quote Share this post Link to post
njbm 2,871 Posted February 3, 2018 Single males are very wired to pursue. But you should do well in Florida. We are in an older demographic and we find more of our age group in Florida. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
asncpl 729 Posted February 4, 2018 Other than the biological urge identified by njbm, I'm wondering has this ever worked? Actually, here is a better question: has anyone actually decided to connect with a single male despite posting a profile that says "couples only"? I know I haven't. Makes me wonder what is the success rate of this approach is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
GoldCoCouple 4,065 Posted February 5, 2018 There are SO MANY single men looking for...well, anything, that they constantly are sending emails to everyone just hoping that one will provide a bite. Even thought the odds are huge that they will find a couple interested in them, there's still that small chance that some couple will respond ("so you are saying I still have a chance"). This same thought process is what keeps the lottery alive as well. As long as sending emails are free for these single men, couples not looking for single men will keep getting them.

Newcouple17 101 Posted February 5, 2018 Personally I find desperation extremely unattractive and that is one of the reasons I felt that our online were a waste of time. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
JustAskJulie 2,595 Posted February 6, 2018 ... but he's the exception.... he's gotta be because he's special. Oddly I've gotten the same from couples on my SF account where I stated that I was only interested in single males. ANd now that I have another couples account we get the ones from single males. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Judy39 145 Posted February 6, 2018 I think a polite message like this from a decent candidate is fine. Not every couple is hell bent on this requirement as something totally non-negotiable. Quote Share this post Link to post

Yes definitely, but unfortunately most seem to be one liners and mostly crude as well?? I personally would be more than happy to be pleasantly surprised and then who knows?
