One site I find to be wonderful is Plenty of Fish, They also have filters that allow you to find like minded people. I remain on it after years and have a nice bucket of female friends.
I do not see this site as a dating site, it is more focused on discussion and that is why I am here.

I've been on a few and it's very disappointing. Some people seem to be looking for an instant relationship with their perfect partner, which is not reality. And I live in a major metropolitan area where you think more people would be more mature and realistic and accepting of diverse ways of thinking and/or be able to put more than two sentences together and say something of substance, but I haven't seen that, either. Really tired of guys who just give me their statistics and think that's how I'm going to know them.

I haven't been on an actual dating site in several years. Even in a big place like Chicago my age drastically limits the pool as well, especially since some significant number of men my age are looking for young and blonde -- their search often stops at several years younger than they are (or claim to be). But if I set my search criteria to 10 years younger through 2 years older, you should hear the abuse I get from some men! Too bad, though. We women live 5-10 years longer on average. It makes a lot more sense for the man to be younger.

Same! I am from Kentucky originally and I found that even including the word “atheist” in my headline wouldn’t keep the god-lovers out of my inbox. Some just would drop by to tell me that I am going to hell, others lacked basic reading comprehension and when I explained my atheism, they freaked out. Let’s hope this site eliminates that issue for the both of us

It's discouraging in small town Oklahoma. I try to keep my mouth shut and keep myself protected from the thumpers. The men folk assume that I'm quiet or weak and that makes me a target for assholes who think they can dominate me. It's cyclic, the more they thump me, the more I hide. ** Thing is, I'm not shy or easily dominated or god fearing. The situation has formed a mold around me.

One argument I heard from a woman currently is, how will prospective suiters know a woman is single. . Iin this era of female equality. So they should.make a move first. The are first to cry injustice

Seems they want to be seen as a good godfearing person, so trust them. Lol

Several years back I signed up for a couple free dating sites. It took me a matter of days to comb through the slim pickins and learn that there was next to nothing of interest to me. Very few guys my age. Not a lot all together. A total bust.

Ifelt like chum in a shark tank. Not really fun. Consequence of low population densityand age cohort. I guess all the late twenty-somethings around here just hit the bars.

I did end up meeting one guy and dating him for a couple of months. (Protip for ladies: NO ROOFERS!)

1/10 would not recommend. YMMV.

What about this website? It seems set up to let people get to know each other first.

I added that app and was too scared to actually use it. It looked interesting at first but I just couldn’t do it.

I like how this site is setup. Everyone gets to know each other by asking questions without having to say they’re interested. People come to know you and look past the face, which we all do, and instead get to know people through conversation.

I'm on plenty of fish. There are a lot of options there ,a lot click the box saying non religious but I find very few atheist. Also with online dating sites I've noticed the girls standards go way up as compared to what they would accept if they were to meet in real life. I think it has to do with having too many options. I've found a few one nighters there but if you are looking for someone it seems the best way is to get off the internet and be social.

"Jesus is boo"?

As a young sailor. I learned that the easiest way to find a date in a strange town was to visit the church.. This strategy never failed.
