I can’t speak for others; but I want nothing to do with someone that gets their laughs like that. It reveals character. [/quote]

One exception I could think of:
You and your chick are bored one night and both make e-harmony profiles in order to see if you show up in each other’s suggested matches.
(You won’t and she will cry, but such is life.)
But the rules would have to be something like:
both create the account together
both know user name and password
both close account after set amount of time, with the other person present
You know, thinking about it. Fuck that. Not worth the trouble it could cause.
Yeah, never appropriate. [/quote]
My girlfriend and I were going to do something like this and about 10 seconds after the idea came up we realized how terrible of a situation it is.[/quote]
It certainly does seem like a train wreck waiting to happen.

The only question I’d have is the motivation. He said he wants to troll, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see people who have fun trolling in general and would start a gay profile for that purpose.
But if it’s out of character to do something like that, then big questions start to arise.

I’m not even entirely sure. I think it would have been as a joke but who knows? It’s certainly not out of the normal realm for this person to joke around and be silly but…well, I’m not sure. lol Sometimes you just never know what people are doing.

THIS. Why would you put in that much time to screw with someone who didn’t do anything to you? Especially if you are in a relationship. I can sort of understand being single and bored.
There are so many things I don’t have enough time for now I can’t imagine wasting it on that.
I was messaged by a married woman looking to hook up. I was a bit curious so I chatted with her. At the end of the day, she was pissed at her husband and thought he was cheating. They had kids and everything.
She said she was looking for ‘love’ but it was pretty obvious she was looking to get fucked hard to shove it back in her husband’s face.
Ugly situation and there’s nothing but drama to follow for that family. But, people are people and this stuff is par for course for the species.
I just hope that I never find myself in a situation like this.

I agree with this. On one hand I think it is inappropriate for a person in a relationship to be messing around with a dating site. It’s deceptive. On the other hand there’s the issue of the person probably having homosexual attractions which can be an issue, or not, depending on whether the person is/has become exclusively homosexual or if the partner would be willing to be in a relationship with a person with bisexual tendencies, if this is the caseâ?¦.
So two problems that need to be addressed: fidelity and sexual tendencies of the person in question.
Finally, the whole thing could really be just a joke as the person said, although I’m inclined to think it’s not. Just giving the person the benefit of doubt.

You bust balls and “troll” people you converse with on the regular, it is just ball busting, but to make a profile to “troll” gay dudes is pathetic.

Haha!
You should have been here when somebody found the “feeder” site of some fat acceptance group and people started trolling THAT site. I’m not sure if I was more disturbed at the idea of even going to that site, or whether it was the most genius mass trolling ever.
Trolling gays as a joke is also never appropriate, or anyone on a dating site for that matter. It’s no less cruel online than it is in high school when someone finds out that they were asked out as a joke or bet. Regardless of venue, it’s absolutely loathsome behavior.
