Hi, Scarlet, and welcome to the website!

I don't, as a general rule, but that depends on what you call a "random kindness."

By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve.

For members who are open to dating, you will see that certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible you are with them. If you click the heart symbol on the top of their profile, you can see how it is determined.

You can improve your score in general by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns you website points.

Commenting on posts and writing your own earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

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

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

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page or at [agnostic.com].

Daily. Most of the time the opportunity presents itself. I expect nothing in return, not even thanks. And I will never reveal what I have done other than to the recipient. I just do it because it brings joy to someone. That makes me feel good. So maybe they are selfish acts.

I try perform one random act of kindness each day.
My motivation is " be the change that I want see in the world."
My most recent act was tonight. I stopped my bike, to introduce myself to four immigrant teens walking down the street. I learned from them that the four were from Kenya, Sudan and Tunisia. They loved the lights on my bike so I gave them information about where they can find them and
the cost. I asked specifics of how they are experiencing life in our community. And before riding away, I told each I am glad they are in my community.

I don't brag or keep tab... I just do. Been times on places like Walmart someone short a few bucks, I look and don't see vice I complete the money for the person. I had been short myself. I don't brag I just do. I am always giving away things to friends or relatives. Gave my car away... Buying another now. I just do not hold on to material things, they are just things. Bought laptop 3 weeks later gave it to my daughter. Giving money to my adult kids and other relatives. Did 2 money deposits on banks this week. Charity should always commence at home I was raised on. Strangers welcome but no money for drugs or alcohol. In a bar I buy you a drink... what's a drink?I don't try to portrait me a saint. I just do things.

Daily. Telling you what would defeat the purpose of anonymity.

every thursday I plea a few people out on their misdemeanor charges for nothing. saves'em a grand or so. the misdemeanor docket is the mistake docket. people in central oklahoma don't have the money to pay thousands of dollars for their mistakes right now.

When the opportunity presents itself and I can. I like to give back. Last weekend I had the guys who were building a new fence for me, make a new mailbox stand for myself and 3 neighbors. Most frequently I return people's dogs to their yards when I'm walking my dog and see them out.

Why do you ask? What are your answers to the questions you asked us?

I try not to miss an opportunity. Many are just small things & easy to do.

If I have extra money, I'll buy the person behind mes food at the drive thru. It's not much but sometimes people do it to me and I like helping make some one else's day a little brighter.

I try to help people as much as possible.

I don't think anything is a particular act of kindness, I just think of it as being human.

It's quite easy answer this query. Both altruistic reasons , enlightened self-interest, and a good dose of feel good accomplishment. I don't place ant value per se on the random act, but just do something because I think it will make life a tiny bit (hopefully more) better. No requirements for recognition or reward ( the altruistic part) and knowing that I've contributed another's well being (the e lightened self-interest part). And I feel good about it.

I buy staff dinner every payday. If I could do it without anyone knowing. I am uncomfortable with being thanked or false gratitude.

If I tell you then the magic is gone.....

Good vibrations go out and come back to me. And all the dogs like me.

I used to think that my random acts of kindness got me in good graces with an imaginary being. All I know for sure is that animals like me, and that includes almost all dogs and cats. In Kenya in 2004 I noticed that all Ostriches were fascinated by me and wanted to follow me around. Later I saw this same effect at the St. Louis zoo. I guess I'm Ostrich Man.

Sometimes the Good Samaritan is actually an Athiest...

In answer to the actual question of how often do I perform random acts of kindness..

Whenever and wherever there is an obvious need.
Somebody needs help..you are in a position to help..so you help..you don't think about it..its just in you...

If I see a need I just try to help. I guess that's why it's called random

Mine for the most part aren't random.

I always ask myself if I help this person.
Did I just make this person's problem worse.
Did I help just sustain his problem?
Will my help cure his or her problem?

Will me paying your light bill free up other money for you to spend on liquor and drugs?
If I agree to pay your light bill will you turn off these lights during the day or in rooms you're not using?

Responses I have gotten to help I've offered when I ask will you stop doing what you were doing to get you into this mess in the first place.

You can't tell me what to do!
I knew there were stings attached!
Oh so you didn't give me something you just wanted a way to control how I live my life!

Will you pay my court costs so I can get my license back so I can go out drinking and driving again?
No.
Cheap bastard!

Is paying your cable bill in anyway helping?

Is saying you look nice today a sexual objectification sexual harassment or a compliment?

I know people will say just do it for its own sake you'll feel better. I've been an active benefactor for decades and I can honestly say I've never felt anything by helping someone. I usually forget I did it within seconds and never remember it again.

It can get a bit confusing when you think about how your good deed may not be that good after all.

I don't like talking about what I do for others.
It sounds (to me) way too much like bragging.
Just do whatever it is that you do, don't expect thanks,
and keep on trucking, always looking for the next opportunity.

I try to do one when the opportunity arises. One does not need religion to do the right thing.

About 3 weeks ago , grocery shopping , checkout girl was putting the groceries on the belt for the very old man in front of me , but she didnt think about following him out to his car to help him unload his buggy , he was parked by me as I made it to my truck and looked perplexed about opening his car door and holding on to his potential runaway buggy at the same time ...so I unloaded his buggy for him .
But actual happenstance opportunities or necessities to do such things are rare .
Motivation ?
Idk ...why not ?

Reciprocal altruism !
An evolutionary adaptation !

We have a lot of racists in my country that yell abuse at refugees who wear the hijab. The other day I saw a muslim woman and welcomed her to Australia and told her to take no notice to the minority of ugly australians who are racist. She was in tears over this small kindness and we hugged. I felt depressed as I walked away wondering how much racism she has endured in this country.

I don't know if this is an act of kindness but the young lady who took care of me at the eyeglasses' store was extremely nice. ....so I went back to the store and gave her a card thanking her for her kindness and professionalism.
