Men & Addiction to Internet Dating Sites

I have a few friends who have met men on a few dating/relationship sites. However, after they have dated a few months and mutually decided to be monogamous and decided to delete and close their user accounts on the dating sites they both met on...it was later discovered that these men while still in a relationship with their woman had secretly created a new account on the dating sites they met their woman on. Therefore, is it possible that Men get Addicted to Internet Dating Sites? If so, Why?

Because men usually are polygamous. They would go to dating sites and find their mates and would pretend to delete their account and then make another one. Well not all but mostly. I too couldn't understand coz im a victim of such. Maybe they are usually brought up in their family to be like that. Not scared of karma. Hope they will learn to treasure what they have for they might lose it someday and will never come back.

Good Morning and welcome to Mylot dear Tgray61 , well this is a pretty tough question to answer it , since i am a man myself and i cann honestly tell you then i was a little younger , actually when i started seen girls and having girlfriends ( around my thirtheen years ) i used to discover internet and the Mirc , and on the Mirc they ware a lot of dating channells , so i was going out hunting every night , but i used to come back home with "some prey" ( girl date ) pretty rare , but once i found myself a girl for the time been with her i stopped using the dating channels and the dating sites , because i actually liked the girls i was with and i like to be a faithfull person and honest one since i expect the same in retour . Anyhow i am practically constient that alot of my buddy ( man friends ) do used to still go back on the mirc dating channels or the dating sites , and i asked why are they doing this ? Aren't they afraid that if theire girlfriend finds out and might bring it to a fight ? And some of the answers ware "She can't find out , i changed my nickname" , or "I am just lookinh around to soo who's new " or "Well she is still having a profile on the site , so i am having too , but we are only chatting , we are both constients of this". So i cann say that its much more less addiction then simply curiosity and sometimes ( its sad but true )some man's simply can't be faithfull to theire wife's or girlfriends. Have a nice day dear Tgray61 , and enjoy your stay on Mylot.
