Just found out he joined 2 dating sites

DP left his email logged in. I noticed as I glanced at it a message from Plenty Of Fish with the subject heading "your log in details". Clicked on it, he's been a member for a few months by the looks of it but when I went to log in, he never actually set a profile up so it's still stuck in the "complete profile" stage. I would have left it but the fact that this new "your log in details" email arrived just a few days ago suggests he requested these details very recently??

Also noticed he joined up to OkCupid at the same time. Again, logged into that and his profile is incomplete, no pictures, no info and no messages sent of received.

What would you think of this? he joined but seemingly doesn't use? do I have a right to be annoyed because he joined them in the first place?

Of course you do! What the fuck is he doing joining dating sites? You're in a relationship, right?

I joined one once because a friend of mine wanted me to see the profile of a chap who'd been messaging her, you had to be a member to view profiles.

Don't know if this is at all a 'normal' thing for a man to do, suspect not.

I think he's browsing profiles. It doesn't stop him emailing someone, but by not putting his own details, no-one will email him.

FetchezLaVache · 02/01/2012 23:18

Like Sausages, I joined one once in order to view a friend's profile, but that doesn't explain why he's joined two... Are you going to ask him about it?

KnackersInATwist · 02/01/2012 23:20

I am the OP with a name-change

I'm not sure whether to ask him or keep an eye on what he does with them! to be honest if I ask him now he'll just say "well the fact that I didn't fill in the profiles proves I never intended to use them"

I've joined a few to help my friend see if her DP was playing away.

YOu don't live together. You are fed up with him anyway. Why not bin him and then he can date all he likes?

Shakey1500 · 02/01/2012 23:23

Another one here who joined to check on a friends "date" to see if all was as it seemed.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 02/01/2012 23:24

mardy...why don't you just simply bin this idiot ?

AbbyAbsinthe · 02/01/2012 23:24

I wouldn't give a fuck what he said, tbh. You don't sign up on dating sites unless you're looking for a relationship or a fuck on the side.

There are some women here that have joined to spy on someone or look at something for someone else - but men really wouldn't do that, imo.

AngelAtTheTopOfTheTree · 02/01/2012 23:25

Depends if you trust him fully or not. Only you can answer that. I can't imagine my fiance doing that, but he may have been having a nosey! These sites are advertised all the time on tv so that may be all he is doing.
FWIW I once joined Uniform Dating to check out the policemen and firemen! :o
Nothing intended, I just wanted a peek!
I wouldn't stress tbh. Why not just ask him? That's what I would do. You should be able to ask and be open with each other.
