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.

If you are not here for dating kindly and politeness i Deliverance of rejection is the only compassionate response. Also early delivery to avoid attachment syndrome.

I’m kind and polite but when they get aggressive I don’t stay nice too long. And if they are a believer they get what they deserve.

The sad thing is, almost anywhere you go online, there are people who won't leave female-identified people alone. They think we're all essentially commodified objects, around for their entertainment, and will welcome their advances because we're supposed to feel "flattered" by their attention. This group is no different from any other and there are plenty of people here (mostly male-identified people) who behave that way.

Men are horny assholes

I don't mind horny men at all. It's the ones wanting a long term monogamous relationship with me that are the problem. LOL.

@graceylou -which is odd for guys-i figured more would like he idea of a non-monogamous relationship

@CalvinJoe I think some people are genuinely looking for a life partner. I am not it!!!

One learns something every day. I didn't realise that there is a 'Here for Community' button. This site is laid out as a dating site and often it is hard to answer the questions outside of that context.

It’s a discussion site with a dating option added because people wanted that. Many of us are interested in the discussion and community only. Or at least not interested in dating.

I joined out of curosity, sure it seemed like a dating site at first. Then you start reading some of the posts, I was truly amazed. I've been looking for a place that I fit in. It really is an awesome site. I've never felt more at home with people I've never met. It's really nice to find open minded people. Who Knew ?

I'm open to meeting men but I get private msgs from all types of people, some from those "here for community ". I don't think men are as intelligent as women in this regard. What can you do?

Not much I guess. If they are nice I will talk to them. If not, I will just block. I don't particularly want to deal with believers and don't know why they are here.

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.

This kind of behaviour is baffling to me, it smacks of duplicity. I don't understand it, literally. Sorry you are experiencing that.
