Search Results: finding a girlfriend

In a world like this today and in the world of relationships there are certain dangers for men: Gold diggers, nasty females, bitches, entitled princesses... None of which are girlfriend materials.

So in order to circumvent these troublemakers we men can opt for strategies to increase the odds of finding our special unicorn, who will love us with all her heart. These are:

Gold diggers -> Just split the bill or go on cheap/no-cost dates and don't flaunt with your wealth!
nasty females and bitches -> Have no tolerance towards the troublesome warning signs (nagging, constant complaining, her never being happy...) and to just get up and walk away.
entitled princesses -> Same as gold diggers and also show some intolerance towards unacceptable behavior and lack of respect.
NEEEEEEEEDY females, who NEEEEEEED to be rescued -> Not being her daddy and tell her to get her own life together first.

DISCLAIMER: The above picture is NOT fully representative of the question/poll!

I often see people who set up online dating profiles either:
1. Say they are not looking for a relationship, only friendship (and are probably single).
2. Say they are in a relationship, and are looking for friends.
3. Have photos of them with their boyfriends/girlfriends on them.

I am not going to lie, I feel like women are particularly guilty of this, but I could be wrong, since I am heterosexual.

Now, my dilemma is this: dating sites are for dating; but even in real life dates can turn out to be great friends, and friendships can turn to relationship. So should it be acceptable to register on a dating site, and have an active account, if you do not even want to date in the first place?

The way I see it, there are a few approaches:
1. I condemn people who explicitly express they don't actually want to date on a dating size; I think they should be banned or deactivated. (I don't know how this could be accomplished, I am asking on a purely moral ground. If you have ideas, I welcome them).
2. I condemn such people, but I wouldn't do anything about it - people should be able to misuse the site to their liking.
3. I think finding friends on dating sites is perfectly acceptable, and a great way, and I possibly would do it/have done it myself.

So, what is your opinion?
