I don't think it's likely I'd find someone for me on this site, but at least it's somewhat possible. If nothing else, it gives me relief from alt-right attacks and condemning Scriptures whenever I mention LGBTQ issues or science.

Its still early days for me beiing single again. and lots of things are changing but....the site has helped me to realise that 'dating' is not that important. I've had a look at other dating sites and, I'm sure they are fine but it just seems strange to 'pick' someone based on a photograph and a couple of paragraphs of text. And even stranger to pay money to do that. Its too easy to come up with a checklist of attributes that a potential partner should have. Those of us that remember life pre internet didnt do that. We pretty much dated whoever was available and tried to make that work. Things ARE different now. And, there are deal breakers obviously, but if I continue to hold out for a concertina playing, boat owning millionairess....

Being single again was a little bit of a shock and there are some definate disadvantages BUT now, six months or so in, I'm coming round to the idea and starting to see some of the benefits.

While I'm definately open to the idea, I think persuing 'dating' would be to focus on something I havnt got and, therfore, a little negative.
I think I'm going to focus much more on the advantages. Carry on doing the things I love, try some new things and look out for more sociable opportunties to do 'stuff'. I may or may not meet that millionairess but I'll certainly have some craic along the way

I like this site but probably not for its dating Stimulates the grey matter a little bit and Convinces me that americans are a strange but lovely people

Hahaha funny board, psyche. I'm new here and just starting back into dating but I am sure I'm already beginning to put together priorities, too. Thanks for the good food for thought.

Agreed this group is great for its diversity of subjects and options. I think it's cause once you get away from religion your thought pattern returns to logic.

For me, all the main issues are tied up in personality.

I saw Fifty Shades Of Gray & felt most sex is ok but not toture!

Can't fault point A. "My time for me" is essential.
