This short piece reviews the first of a four part series concerning married men and online dating. You will find a description of the married mans behavior as he participates in online dating. By reading each section carefully, you will quickly learn if the man you are interested in is the kind of person you want to keep or the kind of person you should avoid.

In a previous article, the authors discussed ways to determine whether or not a man is married. The lack of photos and the gender of the person initiating contact are often two ways to determine this. However, sometimes men may choose not to upload a photo of themselves for legitimate reasons. In addition, they often initiate contact when they view a desirable profile. Therefore, further criteria are required to successfully detect whether a man is married.

Online dating and regular dating often see a 'manual' of how often to contact a person. Rules have stated you have to wait a couple of days before responding, or maybe test the person by not responding two seconds after you receive a message. On the other hand with married men they tend to take quite a different approach. Their responses are going to be erratic. First they may not respond unless they are at work where the wife will not see the emails. So you may get responses during the day rather than at night.

A lot of men tend to stay up later or access their emails right after work. This means that if the response is near ten pm, there are several days or a week between responses, or maybe they send a message during work hours you probably have a married man on the hook. You should also note that unmarried men tend to be quicker with responses when they really like the person they are talking with rather than playing the dating game rules.
