It's interesting. I am looking for all of the above. I am on dating sites too, which can be a hot mess. So finding this site can be encouraging to people who are looking to date people with deeper like-minded connections, as opposed to just shallow photo swiping. That said, I think it can be an interesting little hybrid opportunity between online and traditional ways of meeting people. If you just look for friends who share similar thinking and ideologies, it could create more relationships and groups in the real world and then if any romantic relationships get found out of that, it could be nice, a little more like the old school real world of dating.

I think its simply - they just don't read the profile, don't understand it, don't think you are serious, or want to try anyway. No big mystery here.

If I see someone has indicated that they're here for community, I take it to mean exactly that. I'm certainly not going to second guess them nor disrespect their reasons for socializing as they wish. I have vacillated a wee bit between "looking" and "community," myself, as I adjust to being single after the traumatic break up of a 17 year marriage. The last thing I want to do is bring old baggage on a new journey.

although I put down here for Community only,if I should so happen to meet someone that would be fine. I am single. I just don't put myself too far out there. To be honest, I've given up on any and all dating sites.

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.

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 ?

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.
