As a general rule I have not emailed married men...but I had a bad experience with not one...but two married men who not only hit on me constantly, but argued the point with me about why I don't date married men. One said he was filing for separation soon and the other just liked to play around on his wife.

Why should I have to defend my morals to people who have none in my opinion. Note...I said, in my opinion!

It was very uncomfortable and I did not want to risk having those conversations again. So, I don't talk in email to married men anymore, even if it seems they are only about forum topics...that's how the first two started out.

So, it's people like these that make it hard for married people to gain friendships here...that's my guess anyway.

oh i'm not offended in the least
i understand.
and i don't send friends requests to just anyone.
but when i just want to make a comment to them about something in the forums or personally to them and my email is rejected...it's just a bit irritating. i know i'm on a site that is directed more towards dating but i am a forum fanatic. and i like to interact that way.

Thanks for that perspective. I hadn't thought of that.
