It seems a little strange when other sites make a very good living out of catering for the people who may be in a relationship they treasure but for one reason or another decide to play away. This site doesn't do that. On here, these people are almost looked down on.... Why? I think SH is missing a trick. There are alot of men and women on here who would declare their situations and positively seek each other out if SH added these as seperate categories. Come on SH......... smell the coffee...... recognise the opportunity currently being missed. James
maybe I am being blonder than usual, but I thought on your profile you already state if you are single, with someone, almost married or married? So, isn't that enough? Nola x
I suppose I'm trying to make the point that the current married category is generally used by partners, not marrieds who play away. I understand your not wanting to play here but to some, its a very safe non threatening area because the other one also has tooo much to loose to be less than discreet.
Quote by jameswanna Not really. If you are positively looking for this category in a search how would you distinguish couples from marrieds who are playing away?
If you actively want that, you can do a search for couples and/or males and/or females - so it's fairly easy to distinguish between couples and individuals. It's then up to those who are married and looking for a bit on the side to state that they're married. Some are up front about this, some try to skirt around it, some just lie - I'm not sure an entirely separate category would make any difference to that!

This site doesn't do that. Personally if you really treasured your realationship you wouldn`t play behind your partners back. My personal opinion. On here, these people are almost looked down on.... Why? Again my personal opinion. I am on this site to seek out people similar to my partner and I. I am certainly not here to be possibly involved in a relationship break up. Im sure there are those who are seeking nsa with another person who is in a relationship but to be honest I would guess most want nsa fun with people who are being honest with their partners. I think SH is missing a trick. There are alot of men and women on here who would declare their situations and positively seek each other out if SH added these as seperate categories. There is already a section for you to put your status and some info about you on your profile. I would think that would be enough. Come on SH......... smell the coffee...... recognise the opportunity currently being missed. James
I think I fully understand what you are getting but as to whether sh would think it would be a good idea I don`t know. Personal opinion I dont think I would be.

hi James Not everyone is willing to put their real status in their profile as it stands anyway. In our time on SH we have come across various people who have placed themselves in, for example, a singles category and then find that they have a partner, g/f, b/f etc and actually do not play alone. Im on here with my other half, but we have actually been asked if we are a 'real' couple as opposed to a couple that swings together. We state married on our profile - even though we live in sin :shock: - as that best represents our status. We are happy to put our real status on here, but again its down to personal choice.

For those who are being up front about playing away, why not have a seperate category to make it easier to search on, or is there resistance to this because its seen as "illicit" by some people? I know of quite a few women and men on here who are in this sub category and would really welcome it. I don't agree with anyone having to lie because they are not able to choose a category that really fits them properly. Your personal feelings in this shouldn't really be considered, rather what is right for everyone. If personal feelings were taken into account, many straight people would want to associate with the gay community and visa versa.... My thoughts are for what would make this already good site even better.

Hang on... you posted a poll, in an open forum so therefore you were actively soliciting our personal opinons. How can you say, therefore, that personal opinions should not be considered? If you want a 'corporate' response from SH then contact the people who run the site direct. If you post in the Forum then you'll get the personal opinion of the members who choose to post in it. Just my opinion mind... Nola x

excuse me for being a bit thick....... but if you are a married man or woman.... doesn't "married" already cover it?????? if you are then playing away (which i am not going to get into the merits of) then don't you have to chance to say so if you ads and in your profiles.... everyone admires honesty.... you do have chances to be honest without having to create a whole new category for it..... for example..... i am black ..... could I have a category just for me???

Do you know what your asking : So you want SH to open a new category for people who cheat :?: not married persons who play on their own, but married persons who play away (your words) Seems a bit to ask from a lifestyle thats supposed to be based on trust and honesty, yes it happens and i for one don't condone it, but i certainly wouldn't encourage it and thats what your asking SH to do. And as it stands any single profile can have a married status as it is, and if you wish it also has a text box to describe your current status. But why would people who play away want to advertise that fact anyway :?: no point being honest with strangers about it if they can't be honest with the person their playing away from.

I think you are missing my point. You can currently search for single, married etc but you can't search at the same time the profile to see if the person is playing away.....

Not really, you only have to search for singles, what’s your fascination with people playing away? Is it a guilt thing? Seems a bit hypocritical asking for a separate category for married people playing away when you have your own status hidden on your profile?

They aren't special, just a category of people that are deffo on here and at present ignored I know from speaking to some that they would appreciate this sub catagory
Personal opinion coming up: It's a swinging site not a playing away site. As someone else put it in the thread, honesty, trust and relationships. If you want someone who is playing away then look on a playing away site - there are a few! :roll: End of personal opinion.
I take all your points but while we are on the point of honesty, while do the majority of profiles not have face pics or have no pics at all? Mine included re the face pics, although they are available to anyone who asks...
Currently the poll shows a majority saying this is not a good idea but some have said "Yes, its a good idea" It would be good to get their thoughts too

Simple James... I'm a single gal with absolutely nothing to hide partner-wise. However, I do have a job that could potentially conflict with my choice of being on this site. Therefore, no face pics. Is a matter of personal choice and safety for me - nothing more sinister than that!! Nola x
Personal opinion I'd welcome a facility in the search otions whereby you could choose which category of status you were looking for. If I search for a single guy and click on a lot of the profiles that result a fair proportion of them are married (but at least they're honest :D ). Having a seperate category would be usefull for me, so I could choose not to look for them. End of personal opinion :D H.x
If your married and here without your partners knowledge then you should only have the profile of a single person as you are not actively seeking to meet as a couple and there you have the option to state you are married... Pretty self explanatory really and thus negating the need for an extra option with reference to marrital status.
