Do you think people on EH are more likely to cheat due to the large amount of choices

I am a little worried about dating anyone from an online dating site because there are so many matches. How can a man be faithful when there are 7 new beautiful faces every done being thrown at him?

Is your question about the probability an online match is unfaithful, or something else?

'Cause, the latter is all you'll get.

You'll get something else? faithful, you mean?

I must be missing something here, but on the Moon in order to be faithful, you have to be in an exclusive relationship and off eHA first... so I fail to see the relevance, I'm afraid.

Try to think happy thoughts and see what you come up with. And imagine what would happen if you concentrated them all into one thread... unthinkable, I bet!

I smell a fish.


A red herring, to be specific.


People that are predisposed to cheat, will more likely cheat, and internet dating is just one more venue for them to find a willing accomplice. There is no shortage of them, I have heard many stories from online dates about how their spouses ruint their marriage by cheating. Happened to me too!!

Most people are disinclined to cheat, and are faithful. Both in a committed relationship and in marriage.


I don't think there are a lot of them, that cheat, but the proportion of them who use internet dating, to do it, and the rest of them that don't probably are pretty much the same.

There are plenty though: Look at the divorce rate in this country, fidelity and marriage is not that much respected. How the children suffer especially galls me.

That said there are many wonderful sincere folks of either gender who value fidelity, and look for a companion of a date on here. I have been privileged to meet many of them

And if you were dating someone met not online then they would not be seeing "7 new beautiful faces everyday" as they walk down the street?

Find your dates where ever you wish. Cheaters are going to cheat regardless. Most people are not going to cheat, ever.

And as IcecreamMoon said you have to be in an exclusive committed relationship before you can cheat. If you have presumed that communicated with someone on eHarmony or another dating site constitutes an exclusive and committed relationship then you are sadly confused.

According to you, in your other thread "Dating multiple persons and sex", where you said you wanted to have sex with X but wanted to keep Y & Z tagging along, I suppose the answer to your question would be "yes".

Yes...you're correct. We men. We have no control over our low level, caveman-like urges. I have beautiful women throwing themselves at me everyday. Every time I see a beautiful woman, I have sex with her.

Obviously my sarcasm tells you what I think. But seriously I think that just because a man you're TALKING to online is also talking and dating to other women, it doesn't mean he's cheating and/or will cheat IF he gets into an EXCLUSIVE relationship with you. You should take advantage of the fee you pay for EH and meet and date as many people as you can until you find someone that sticks. Just like the men are doing.
