Polyamory Date is not the only online dating site I use.
Not all that long ago I signed up to another adult dating site. A certain naughty pond I was floating around in. Just to see some different people really. Not that there's anything wrong with you lot, but most of you are 3 bloody billion miles away.

After chatting to someone on that other site for a while we exchanged . He suddenly disappeared from the site. Sent him a message asking why he'd come of this naughty pond. "Naughty pond? I was on net a cougar".

Eh???????

On this particular site you can write a diary, instead of blogs as we have here. So thought I'd write something on there about this.

"I know you won't approve this diary post, but would appreciate it if you pass this on to management. I don't appreciate me appearing on sites I would never sign up for. I'm not a cougar - I'm not on the hunt for younger males. I'm going to delete my account shortly, but hope you'll look into this and maybe even stop labelling people (although I highly doubt you will).

To my complete surprise they approved my post. Messages came flooding in. Turns out people could see me on "net a cougar", "easy mums", "naughty seniors" (really????!!!) and quite a few more. Couldn't believe what I was reading.

I know Polyamory Date links to other sites as well, but so far none of them I found offensive, so I don't mind. But for these people to stick me on sites that are totally not me was pretty shocking. How dare they label me like that and put me on sites I would stay away from at all times. If they keep doing this they'll lose a lot of members I'm sure. And to be honest I hope they will. I'll stick to Polyamory Date from now on.

Sadly it's in their terms and conditions that when you sign up your profile will be copied to some/many/all of their affiliated sites purely to boost the membership numbers. So as greekphilosopher has found, male profiles get duplicated onto lesbianpersonals and such like.

And as you have discovered, female profiles get copied to all sorts of sites. This practice kicked up a storm a few years ago with people threatening to leave the site(s) in protest at being labelled "easylay" and other such unpleasantries.

Ah Ms Pringles...... It is always worth giving your online name a Giogle and see where it takes you..... For a long time I wondered why i was receiving a lot of interest from men.... Did the giogle thing and found my profile was on a gay dating site.... Now Im not in the least homophobic but I'm not into blokes of any description.... Always worth a wee search to see where they are putting you details....

Hello lovely. One site invited all my friends emails from church to join. It was not a good time. Davidx

Oh no! Thankfully it doesn't require admitting you're on here to get spam emails like that. Or did you confess?

When I first joined up a few years ago, they were giving points if you just made a profile and then deleted it! Done it to get the points for a months membership, yeah, I know, was young and imature! Of course in the small writing, there was something about other sites, affiliates and so on. Long story short, I was on Lesbian friend finder, as well as everywhere else! I am kind of a lesbian though, love women.

You didn't accidentally tick the "I am female" button, did you?
