You see it often. "Single girls seeks yada-yada... Please be willing to host."

 

I finally figured out it means she doesn't have a private place for sex, so you must have a private place or it's no go. But I dunno... for some reason, I cringe at the term.

 

The first time I saw it, I actually thought it was some kind of code to indicate the woman was a prostitute and not someone looking for a relationship.

 

How do you feel about the term?

It makes me cringe too. It definitely indicates someone seeking sexual encounters rather than a relationship. I would suggest that if you are seeing this term frequently and are looking for more than sex, try a different website which is aimed at people looking for relationships. I find that the ones you pay a subscription for normally have more serious people on, as they are making serious effort to find someone. A good indication is also the types of photos on the girls profiles. Do they look like they are trying to seduce you or appeal to relationship types?

Agreed. It assumes a lot.

 

"Host" should only be used when discussing why the OLD site was down the other day. :p:D

Yuck. That was a new one to me as well! I'd never heard about that before just this moment. The person is clearly cheating on someone else or living at home with parents / roommates who they don't want to find out. Talk about sleazy.
