"Set up an honest couples profile?"

If you set up a couple profile, admin may well change the fem single profile to a couple profile too and leave the male one as single. They changed my single profile to a couple one although it is the one I now use to meet single fems and I cannot get it changed back. I have decided to leave it as is and hope the single fems I want to meet know I am not doing it to titillate my bf as he won't be there. You will have to jumps through a lot of hoops to prove you are a real couple to people on here though, much more so that in the real world. Our kids, friends and work colleagues see us as a couple, as does the lender who is giving us a joint mortgagee, but some people on here still think we are not a real couple because we meat on here.

A confusing mix of multiple profiles does make people suspicious. Why not have 1 couples profile, that says you also meet separately?

OP are you 2 actually a couple now, or 2 fwb/fb who also want to meet couples? In our mind there is a big difference between the 2.

attend clubs as a couple, or set up a couples profile.

I would have preferred this to be a single profile as my bf does not generally access it nor I his single one. Also, the verifications I have on it, both before him and since, relate to me, rather than us. In our situation, we are a couple, but we are still individuals. I also know that when I was meeting women singly, many, many of the so called single women on the site had a man who would suddenly pops up to watch or keep her safe. In other words it is actually a couple trying to meet a single woman. Now I am stuck with two couple profiles and having to say that I meet as a single woman when I meet women and my bf is not involved, unless it is sorted through our couple profile. I can imagine that many single women wanting to meet a single woman don't want to bother with this. So by changing the profile to a couple, it has meant my chances of meeting a single woman on my own have been severely diminished, oh well, out of my hands ..... of course, the other thing that is a pain about being seen as a couple is that single guys prefer to talk to the man in clubs. How many don't even give me the respect to ask me if they can join in, prefer to ask my bf or, if he is off playing with another guy, ask a male friend I am talking to. I know, I know. Its a rant ...

I never had that problem. Met a guy from another site. He joined fab as a single and we eventually had a couple profile. Couples were happy to meet even though we were fb

I don't see why you can't keep your single profile.

My fiancé and I met on here as singles. After a few weeks we set up a couples profile but have both kept out singles accounts. We have both stated quite clearly in those profiles that we are not interested in meeting solo and that we have only kept them for using in chat and, in my case, forums too. We've had no issues with myself being changed to a couple, probably because of what my profile text says.

Make a couple profile. Don't mention your relationship details/ background unless you want to. It's no-one else's business.

if you are both very single still and play alone as well as with each other - and it is just the rare odd occasion you play together - id say keep the singles profiles and when you want to meet up together just say as much on it - you can state in your profile exactly how you play - be honest

Jeez, go clubs, get meeting

Taking opinion from this will only result in you conforming to the opinions held in here,

Which are not exactly right,

Two consenting adults, be open about your status but don't feel you have to comply to others requirements,

Only the requirements of those you meet,

Just enjoy and run with it, if people expect you to be in a relationship respect their wishes and move on

Don't try to adapt to meet others Requirements

Have fun with it
