What is wrong with dating lots of women at a time?

What if one had a serious relationship with one person but numerous "flings" with others, that way no body gets hurt as only one person needs to know?

The important point is whether or not you tell them. I'm an advocate for polyamorous relationships where everyone involved knows the score, and was actually involved myself last year, at one point having three (consenting) partners at the same time, who all each had other girlfriends too.

However, cheating is something else entirely, whether your girlfriend knows about it or not. You are lying about what kind of values and morals you hold by deliberately withholding the truth and putting people at increased risk of STI's. If you're unable to tell someone you're sleeping with other people, it's because you know that they wouldn't be happy about it - Therefore you are knowingly doing something emotionally harmful to this person.

? Is there really anything wrong with dating lots of women at the same time. Why must one feel compelled to inform them. I mean if it is legal why not do it? What they do not know will not hurt them.

is this something that you have been doing? ^.^
Nobody gets hurt as the other person doesn't know, but its immoral and would be very damaging to your partner. People would normally feel guilty if they cheated like that :P but yeah

Yes but surely if you are following the law. Then the rest is optional? After all it is just one persons opinion from another?

Accidently voted no I meant yes.
I was going to ask whether you actually meant dating or relationships, but from your posts I gather you mean relationships. Therefore it is wrong. The assumption is that a relationship is exclusive, and it mainly tends to be explicitly so. Therefore if you stray you are a cheat. That is not an exclusive relationship and not what you should be pursing if you cannot control yourself.
If you're so inclined go find yourself open or casual relationship or just date casually rather than being a prat. Simples !

Why is it immoral?

Surely it is freedom of choice whether or not to tell them?. Different strokes for different folks.

well, knowing someone conducts human trafficking but not reporting them to the police is not really illegal.But it would be frowned upon.
Similarly,not calling the ambulance after seeing someone get run over or whatever isn't illegal.But it would be frowned upon.

Legislature is usually influenced by society's perception of morality,not the other way round. So there's plenty of things you could do,and be seen as an outcast or just a plain pile of garbage without actually getting arrested for it.

Is it wrong to lead people on?well yeah.
Will you get arrested for it?not really.
Can you do it?help yourself.
Will people like you for it?probably not.
Are you entitled to lack of judgement from normal society?Certainly NOT.

Don't get into exclusive relationships then!! fgs it's not that difficult to understand! If you cannot commit to one person, don't do it, fine. Just get into casual relationships what's the problem with that?

What if both the security of a stable exclusive relationship and the spontaneity of flings are required? This would bring about pleasure for everyone.

Why do you say that?

Those 2 are not 'needs'. And it doesn't if the stable relationship finds out.

Then again, as I said in my edit, why do you deserve that 'freedom of choice' if she does not? Surely she deserves the choice to know that you are a cheat and do not actually want an exclusive relationship?

Also, a casual relationship can be perfectly stable. so I fail to see why you cannot have a casual relationship/s and flings. There is no reason at all to mislead someone into an exclusive relationship when that's not what you want.

She is welcome to leave at any opportunity, I would respect that choice. However, I am not under any compulsion to tell her this, that is my freedom of choice.

First of all, I think such mentality is disgusting and I would never wanna date someone like this. But arguing about morality and legality would not lead us anywhere. I have a different opinion about this issue:

If cheating can be your "choice", wanting a faithful partner can be mine. I think you should not deprive somebody from their freedom of choice. That's why you should let your partner know about what you think. If he/she is fine with it, then do whatever you want. Some people are satisfied with just hanging out from time to time and not taking it seriously.

But if your partner wants a relationship, instead of ****ing a thousand girls without letting her know, simply don't go out with her in the first place.
