I am also feeling this way right now. What an interesting but strange site.

I ask myself this question as well.

While this is advertised as a "dating site", it seems to me to be more casual socializing. I guess it's how you use it.

All interactions are easier with whiskey!

Strictly speaking this isn't a dating site, it just happens to have aspects of that

If you like someone send them a private chat. I was told this and I have thought about it and it is true being introverted does not mean you are shy it just means you have not encountered the right person to enjoy your thoughts with. In your introduction explain your status and that you are private.

Hi, Amc, and welcome to the website,

The purpose of this website seems to be to avoid the mindless hook up culture and let intellectual people develop friendships first by interaction and discussion, for the purpose of forming real relationships. The point system is to reward and encourage people in that direction.

This website has a bit of a learning curve so here is some information that might be helpful for dating here.

New members are encouraged to earn points, and help other members get to know them better, by writing an informational profile that includes their hobbies and interests, and answering all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.

The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Also many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find compatible partners.

People make comments and write their own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two someone can private email people. There are different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

Levels are mostly a way to help identify and reward those who contribute to the growth of the community. The website also gives more access and benefits depending on level.[agnostic.com]

you can look for groups of like mindedness, smaller venue

I've never been in a forum and have reached level 5 in a couple months. I'm not here for dating, but I occasionally post or comment on others posts.

You don't have to - if you prefer, just read and like other people's posts, which will soon get you to L2. I'd be happy to have a chat sometime

Hey there cool attractive atheist lady from Oklahoma!

I doubt you'll get in to many quarrels on here. Everyone is pretty friendly and supportive. It isn't like we are fighting about religion or anything...

Do your best and just throw in where it feels good to. You might be pleasantly surprised!

So, welcome!

For reference, this did not give me to level two.
