Guys who are 'here for a month' 'in the area for a while' 'leaving to go travelling soon'. I've even seen 'just here for the night !'.
With the exception of the very last one, would you assume they are only looking for sex/casual things ?
Has anyone ever had anything more come from meeting someone who puts this ?

I would imagine so! I never swiped on any of these kinds, as just not what I’m looking for

Sagradafamiliar · 11/01/2020 20:00

Of course that's all they want.

Silvergreen · 11/01/2020 20:03

How would 'more' even be possible?

I feel that a lot of men are able to sleep with somebody with no emotion. I'm sure they might like the girl as a person, but they are happy to get involved with someone knowing they will leave and leave that person behind. I couldn't do that personally.

I don't know, but I have heard of one or two situations where it was only meant to be a short thing but they ended up falling in love and moving together.

In my experience, if you’re in any doubt about it, the guy is looking for casual sex. More subtle words and phrases they use may include: having fun, laidback, open to new experiences, open-minded, go with the flow, make the most of life, etc.

Atleast they are honest

TheresGotToBeMoreToLife · 11/01/2020 20:33

Fair play to the ones who do say this. At least they are being honest. I will always swipe left on them because I'm not looking for that.

SnorkMaiden81 · 11/01/2020 20:35

It's safer to assume that's what they're ALL on there for.

Yes, it’s a euphemism for ‘dont get any ideas about this becoming serious.’

HollowTalk · 11/01/2020 20:45

They're not just after sex in a one night stand, they have a family and that's why they only have one or two nights free.

Phoenixxx · 11/01/2020 21:15

True, they are being honest ! Sadly, that does not surprise me one bit about some of them already having familles.
