atmosphere Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Hi all, As the title says, if someone changes their status to "available" from single on okcupid, what does this actually mean? Thanks all!
tigressA Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 It means they're attached but still making themselves available for dating others. They could be married, separated, in a LTR or open relationship. They're certainly not single, so if you want someone who is, stay away from the "available" guys.
OceanGirl Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Available could also mean that they are seeing someone but forgot to edit their "looking for" section (i.e. it still says looking for a relationship) -it may be an honest mistake on their part. They are def not single though.
zengirl Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 The person is a 'swinger.' Generally the idea is that they are in a relationship but it's open in some way.
oaks Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Yes, it can mean any and all of these things. Not the best thought-out part of the site.

Well, I changed my status to "seeing someone" but forgot to edit the other part and my profile came up as "available". I started getting messages from poly couples

I started getting messages from poly couples Ha! Oh, yes, it can be a mistake as well, but I assume you edited yours quite quickly after you realized.
OceanGirl Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Ha! Oh, yes, it can be a mistake as well, but I assume you edited yours quite quickly after you realized. For sure
Disillusioned Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 It does NOT mean the person has a flexible schedule. It means "f'able" or "desperate".
