Is it OK to hide your online dating profile, but still browse while in a relationship?

Author: If you are in a relationship and hide your online dating profile so that it is not searchable by others, do you think it is OK to still browse other profiles?
Also, do you think it’s OK to log in at all? Although, I don’t understand the reason to log in if you aren’t getting messages or browsing.

ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!!!! THAT IS LIKE WAY WAY UNACCEPTABLE
Nope, shows that your still curious and/or interested in dating others. Not a good sign!
no it is almost the same as "having your cake and eating too"
that is like being out with your date, and checking out the valuables across the street.
Not very nice
You’re girlfriend/boyfriend will find out and chances are they will not be happy. Is that ok with you?
Well… here’s the unpopular answer… why not? If you’re not contacting these other people and you’re just curious, what’s the big deal? I’m of the philosophy that regardless of whether someone is in a relationship, they’re either available or they’re not.
What you’re proposing is the "online" equivalent to checking out the goods in a singles bar while you’re dating someone. Right or wrong, people do it. Sometimes it affirms you’ve got the best game in town and other times you start doubting your choice and you move on.
If you’re really into the person that you’re dating and you’re committed and happy, looking at some stats isn’t going to change that. If you’re not really into the person, looking at some stats will likely lead you to the next proverbial pasture.
If you’re into the person and happy with the relationship, however, and you’re still perusing online profiles, one of two things are going on 1) you’re a mother of young children and you’re just too tired to do anything else than to poke around online at the end of the day or 2) you need to find some hobbies, pick up a good book, go out and make some friends, get off the computer. I’m presuming you don’t have kids…. so….
Its your call if you want to pursue your online dating adventure even if you have a relationship. Just be sure you have an excuse once you get caught. If you’re asking if it’s ok. Well, it depends how you love your partner. You won’t look for someone else if you really love him/her. If not, then go ahead I won’t stop you. Weigh your options and think of What Ifs before setting up a date with some. Just my two cents.
It’s not ok, if you are in a relationship. It’s still cheating.
