Asking if Agnostic is a dating site or a community site is very much like asking if light is a wave or a particle. The answer is yes.

That’s as well crafted a poll as I’ve responded to Tell your GF ‘you’re right,’ and that you’re a keeper ~

There are only five women my age who are listed as living in my area and one of them has been off the site for several months and another has been gone for over a year. No real options on here until the local pool of members my age doubles or triples. Not likely since no new women my age have joined in the last 12 months.

Although I have a few crushes, (here's looking at you, @GuyKeith), there are no men in my age group who live near me.

I love Agnostic.com because of the intelligent, warm, caring, thoughtful and funny members. It's a joy to read and reply to posts by like-minded people.

With 3/4 of American men overweight or obese (and 2/3 of women), my chances of finding a mate are getting slimmer (har) every day.

This site works fine as a dating site because it doesn't focus on all the usual dating site bullshit of endless profile questions, matching algorithms, compatibility percentages, etc... This site gives people a place to gather, chat, and connect organically. I've been here since August and have been active enough in the community to have gotten to know a lot of people here.

Even though I haven't personally met anyone, I know enough from my interactions to know who people are, what their personalities are, their likes, dislikes, sense of humor, all the stuff I'd need to know to determine for myself who I'd approach for a date if I were looking for one.

I learned all this just by interacting with them over time and, what a shock, that works better than an algorithm or data mining.

...and it's FREE!

Who knows?

I enjoy the community here. I've also had the opportunity to date a couple very nice men. It's what you make of it.

my answer is not in the poll so i cannot vote. said answer is: "it is what you make of it."

It's billed as a dating site...but in reality very little 'dating' goes on here. I think that is b/c of the way the site is organized and constructed. Plus there is a sister site that it shares members and posts with...so not sure if one was community and the other dating,and they just ended up morphing into the same thing or what...
