It's nice to be on here, to be able to speak, and be understood. If I meet someone, fine. And if not, that's fine too.

Not yet. But I'm optimistic.

Two gentleman, both great company and great conversations. One is now in a relationship and we are still friends and Scrabble partners.

Flew out to West Coast and spent several weeks out there. Heard a couple that met here are getting married.

New people join daily, so there's always hope that someone mutually compatible is living near you.

No, but if we did this, freethoughtcruise.wordpress.com, many of us could meet the geographically improbable members.

No but then I just joined. SO we will see.

Not yet, but I suspect that I will.

No other members on my island - so no. I've only been a member for a week though - so who knows - and perhaps some members might vacation to Kauai and want to get together for a sunset chat on the beach or something.

I'd like to see some regional meetups in the future - just putting it out there - not necessarily for dating purposes - but as a community to meet members we admire through their posts. I am starved for conversation with like-minded individuals. That's why I'm here!

Still trying to level up

Yes, as friends. Not local, next state over.

I have also heard of other people meeting.

They are all thousands of miles away.

I have not but there are about a dozen people on here I'd love to hang around with irl

Not yet but it's possible.

I've chatted with a few but no meetups. I've been out of the dating scene for 20 years so it's not a burning issue for me. Que Sera, Sera

Perish the thought. It gives me the shivers. I don't get out much.

Nope

Not ready yet, but I'm hopeful. I want to get to know people here better before rl encounters.

I love this site because it lets me be me. I'd be happy meeting someone from this site for discussion, a game of chess, a cup of coffee, many drinks etc. Would I meet someone on here for nookie? Of course. That's what I adore about this place. It's more than just about looking for whatever kind of relationship you want. Very smart, interesting people here.

The pool here is very small with less than 17,000 members. We need to expand the member pool to increase the odds of meeting someone that shares our interests and world view.
