Do people take "Here for community" seriously? Do people even look in profiles to see what the person is looking for or not looking for?

I get the impression that a lot of members think this is exclusively a dating site and everyone is looking for someone. The "here for community" folks seem to be in the minority. I'm here for friends, fun chats, and flirts only, but I've gotten messages for men looking for a long term monogamous relationship. They chat me up for awhile then get very angry when I say I'm not interested in that kind of relationship, like I wasted their time. Last night and this morning I got messages from someone telling me I'm a beautiful angel and exactly what he prayed to God for!!!!! Yikes!!!

Is it too much to ask for to be allowed to be here just to make friends, enjoy fun play, read and comment on posts, participate in polls, share experiences with like-minded people, may be debate issues, etc.? Don't get me wrong. I do love chatting publicly and privately with many of you about all kinds of subjects. And thank you for understanding and respecting my preferences.

Pardon me for the rant. May be it's just because I had to block another person today and I really prefer not to block people.

I'm here because I enjoy the people here. If the other thing happens, great. If not, no worries. It's all good.

I will visit profiles generally as a result of a like or a comment. People visit mine as well. I have sent some messages to a couple of people and have had some wonderful conversations. If I am going to be out and about I have announced that usually If anybody wants to hang out for a bit. I may ask someone if they would like to have lunch. Don’t read more into that than it is. It’s just lunch and conversation. If anybody is visiting my area and they want to go out I will do my best best to make that happen. Again please don’t read more into it that it is. Now if you were to message me and want to go fishing in the ocean, then I will get excited and try to arrange a nice charter. If anyone just wants organize a meet up. I say the more the better. That being said I am a bit on the shy side and mean no I’ll intentions for my visits or messages. If I were to misbehave I expect to be called out for bad behavior. But I don’t think that is likely. So if your in the area and want to bend a rod I say I’m in. ?

May be I won’t ever go fishing in the ocean but I might go whale watching or swim with sharks.

@graceylou whale watching is cool. Swimming with sharks naw had my share of that diving.

@Mikeb56 I’ve done both but would definitely want to do more of those.

@graceylou back in my coast guard days we would count individuals in pods while we were flying and turn the data in to NOAA. Hearing them underwater was cool as well at first I thought my regulator was bad. ?

Life is an adventure, it's not a guided tour. Maybe start a dedicated chat room? There's no way to filter the world that I know of. It is what it is. You put up with people and people put up with you. That's how it works.

I do read the profiles but wait for a woman to contact me and not vice versa. I like my partners or playmates be open to me and not pressured by me.

No offense, but you are beautiful, especially for the animal rescue, but I believe that often people see only what they want to see. They convince themselves that they are the exception, that somehow it does not apply to them. After all it is then, right? We all build stories of our life in our mind where we are the heroes and if we go about things right we will get what we desire, often neglecting the very real people involved. Especially when it is online interactions.

This is a confusing app. I am more interested in sharing beliefs (nonbeliefs rather) and talking openly with people about living a non beleiving life. Most of the people i experience in life are religiously centered and it makes it difficult to feel comfortable. Having said that, men on the internet will use any medium they can to try and get an edge in with a woman. That's just a sad fact.

You are right to be disturbed. Still, there are a lot of people who are on this site for sharing thoughts , intellectual stimulation, and interesting conversation. When I look at a person's profile, I am looking for more information as to whether or not this is a person I would be interested in conserving with over time.
