How well has this site worked for you? Have you met anyone, friends or otherwise?
Yes, I'm being nosey!
Atheist woman are hard to find where I am too many have not broke the slave chains of religions
Too soon for me to decide. but i like most of what I've seen in discussions. will stay tuned
I have had many wonderful discussions; individual conversations with members who have been insightful to talk to and now have two friends I talk to regularly. This place is still in its infancy yet is so refreshing and enjoyable to be a part of. Tickles the brain which is more than many other sites! I’m quite happy here
Me too.
Yes met fellow member long distance 3months ago. Made many friends all long distance here.
I haven't really made any friends or anything, but I do like that I can make posts and join discussions about a variety of things and I don't need to worry about a lot of "because god/jesus" responses.
It's also pretty nice to see that although there's a variety of opinions & views, we can still come together on a lot of things.
I have lived happily ever after. I was doing that before I joined. I guess I'm low-expectations guy. I have attempted communication a couple of times. Got lukewarm receptions. Just like in real life. I plan to keep on, keeping on. Doing what I do. Whatever that is. Trying not to worry. Trying to be happy. Someone should right a song about that.
I do enjoy the discustions that I have taken part in.people on the site have some what restored my faith...in humanity.but as far as meeting anyone(it was honestly my hope to meet women who think similarly and share interests.)but no luck.this is a good site for social issue discussions,a poor place to find a date,or at least in my experience thus far.
I blame the matching system here.I am not looking for a ''hook up'',there are tons of sites for that.I am looking for a best friend,lover and comrade.getting the feeling i'll die alone.
I've had good and bad experiences on the site. I don't blame the site itself for the bad ones. There are scammers everywhere and they are very hard to guard against. I also made one connection that I thought was mutual, but it wasn't and the only issue I have there is with the person because she overreacted by blocking me here (yeah, I'll admit that). I have connected with a few people more directly, and one I am very interested in. The site works, IMHO. Take the time to get to know folks through posting, liking, commenting, and messaging and then take it from there. =]
All I did was meet folks through posting, liking,commenting-short of direct messaging!?
@GregAndrews It's not too late! LOL!
I too have been blocked by someone who we did not have mutual interest. No issues, but blocked anyway, what is up with that?
I can't speak for the women here who have blocked men here, but from my experience of being a woman online (since 1995 or so), I can tell you that some men really let it all hang out... and not in a good way. From unsolicited pictures of disembodied penises (maybe theirs, maybe not), to self-identified "Doms" acting aggressive, to "neg"ing, to stalking, to nasty reactions (eg: "Fuck you, bitch", and that was a more polite example) at being rejected, to feeling like they are entitled to a response and reacting negatively when they don't get one, etc..
Personally, I have blocked a lot of men for all of the above, and a few women. I don't think I've blocked anyone here. There's not enough time in a day to explain to each and every jerk who writes as to why their behavior is unacceptable.
As for non-jerks being blocked? A lot of women have been taught to be non-confrontational. Maybe they view it as a way to avoid a potential unpleasant interaction. There's always the possibility that they don't understand what it feels like for a sincere non-jerk to be blocked... or maybe... they're a jerk and don't care.
So far, most of my experiences here have been pleasant. Long may that continue.
@ailurophile In my situation nothing inappropriate happened. I developed feelings for this person and she had seemed to be on the same page, but she wasn't. We were communicating on 3 different platforms and when she decided to back off, she completely cut the cord, blocking me anyplace she could. Before she did that, I had said I hoped we could continue our friendship. Her response was that "in her experience, that had not been the case." And she then blocked me. If I was some creepy stalker or had done or said something to make her feel she needed to protect herself, I get that. We got along really well, and were having a lot of fun on this site and elsewhere. So all she did by blocking me was to hurt me. Had she simply asked that we stop everything I would have honored her request
@IAMGROOT Aw geez, Groot, that sounds painful. I"m sorry to hear it. Being ghosted sucks.
@ailurophile Totally!
Nah, I just come here to vent and express my views. Not really interested in meeting anyone new and I have plenty (2) of friends.
Two?! You're rich!
Quality over quantity.
Been here about 2 months.
Lots of interesting personalities.
I've connected with several now as cyber-friends.
I'm not interested in the dating aspect though.
As for myself, none. I haven't been on that long but none the less I haven't met anyone. Sent an email or two but no responses.
I have made many new friends on this site. Don't need to meet anyone in particular ! There is your noseyness satisfied ?
Lol, yes
@Carla78
