As it happens at the moment I cannot accommodate due to living in shared accommodation. However I have had a few people become suspicious that I am married or in a relationship and that can put people off as they think I am just cheating on a partner which is not the case. Any views on this and how can you avoid this if you are in a similar situation. |

Explain on your profile why you cant accom will stop people asking and you wont have to explain yourself.
At the end of the day its no ones business but yours x |

I personally block any local gents who can't accommodate unless it says somewhere on their profile the reason why, I only expect a brief- kids live with me/shared house/flatmate etc or else yes quilty as charged I think gent 35+ can't accommodate = married or partner!
oops better practice what I preach...runs to amend profile! |

Ok think I best explain why then but by making a deal of it I was worried by the fact if I put a reason on people could just assume that I'm lying anyway guess will have to wait and see. |

You don't have to explain anything if you don't want to. There are people that are happy to meet in hotels/clubs etc.
Personally I don't meet men that can't accommodate - and I don't care what their reason is. I don't meet in hotels and I think some men want think "not in my house" whilst happy to want to turn yours into a knocking shop.
I don't get into it: can't accommodate, not a problem...neither can I. |

Shame that you have missed the chance to book 9 GBP rooms at Travelodges.
If my meet turns into a no show, I would loose only 9 GBP, and not a small fortune.
It is a difficult situation, especially for single gents, as ladies are unlikely to book and pay for the room in advance in case of no shows.
This means single gents are more likely to loose out due to no shows. 
If at all possible, delay booking the hotel as much as possible, like once your meet has turned up!
Agree to share cost in advance or whatever to avoid surprises.
Good luck!  |

Totally disagree with that I live in a shared house with a mate as I'm away for a lot of the year and dont see the point of buying at the moment due to the unsettled times we are in |

You dont have to explain your life story to anyone...
You dont accomodate. End of story. People may ask you why. You may chose to tell them. You may not.
If folks are not happy with that - tough on them. Move on to someone that is. |

A guy on here has to be aware of many "hidden thoughts" - Due to some that have perhaps presented doubt.
I can accommadate and prefer too but happy to travel.
Honesty and respect costs nothing and if people are compatible,inspiration may be higher.
Yes or No - Will and Wont sometimes has an answer of may be or offer an alternative.
Doubt = Will be hassle.
Honesty can't be doubted.
And most would agree not knowing is worse than knowing.
People who state they are in a 'complicated' situtaion will be matched with similar or those who perhaps state that they are not bothered either way.
Live and let live.
Being truthfull will instantly influence a maybe or doubt to a yes or no.
Personally I would probably add some humour ;
'obviously can accommadate - there's 6 other guys that live with you so take your pick !'
but saying 'I am caring for my sick mother (with a pacemaker) is likely to be a No... but if that was the truth people would respect that.

you dont have to explain yourself to anyone
I get the same, ive had a few people ask why i cant accommodate if im single, thing is i could accommodate if i wanted to, even tho i have kids there are times when i could have people round, thing is im not willing to take the risk of inviting some nutter to my house, ive had a few guys in the past get clingy and a bit funny when ive told them i dont want to meet anymore, i really dont want guys like that knowing where i live

Yeah there's nothing you can do more than explain it.
Some will still think you're lying and I'm pretty sure you'd get more success if you could accomm. But I'm in the same boat and it is what it is, nothing more I can do about it and it's up to others to think what they want to think. |
