Are there no pockets of sanity..? I’m relatively new to SW VA … prettymuch the same stuff.. but have found a handful of enlightened people.. In my mind, how many people & events do I really want to participate in?

One thing about living in an ignorant zone, jobs are easier to find.. Just stay off religion ..and proper English alone leaves you sounding like a college professor

Head north until you hit ohio turn right and continue to CT.

Hi, Chris, and welcome to the website,

I dunno..I love Tennessee..that's where my favorite Walking Horse was bred.

This website has a bit of a learning curve so here is some information that might be helpful for dating here.

New members are encouraged to earn website points, and help other members get to know them better, by writing an informational profile that includes their hobbies and interests, and answering all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member.
You've already done some of this!

Also, the website uses profiles to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Then people make comments and write their own posts to earn more points and privileges; for instance, at level two someone can private email people. There are different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

To find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

Levels are mostly a way to help identify and reward those who contribute to the growth of the community. The website also gives more access and benefits depending on level.[agnostic.com]
