Anyone had any luck meeting or interacting with people on this site? Any friendships made? Been on here for about a year, and have met no one. Would be great to have some advice.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.As @Cutiebeauty pointed out, you're not participating to begin with. Spend some time and effort here every day, put yourself out there. I'm guessing you got more response to this one post than you have in some time ... just keep that up.

I've made billions of friends here, and I met my baby's daddy through this site. From what I see, you arent having any luck interacting with anyone because you aren't interacting! Here over a year and level four indicates low activity...

I love the camaraderie, encouragement and support from like-minded people. Agnostic.com has many intelligent, kind and hilarious members.
So far, there are zero men from my area on Agnostic.com, who are near my age and love hiking. That's why I'm also on Fitness Singles.
My first post, "Are Your Lonely?" was in March 2018.
Progress: recently I got a snazzy new T-shirt for reaching Level 8.

That's pretty cool. I am also here to discuss, and interact with like-minded people. I consider myself a secular humanist. I am not looking for a date at the moment, but rather to have someone to speak to. In my opinion, both are different. Don't even need the shirt (although its a nice detail/gesture) I am satisfied with just shareing my knowledge simply because I want to as with interaction.
I've been here for about 6 months, had lots of good conversations and met one person. Since the site is relatively new there aren't yet a huge number of dailey visitors. It will get there.

We'll see. I'll give this site perhaps another chance, and see what happens.
@JamesAnthony do it! The friends I have made here are awesome! Some I was lucky enough to meet in person, some just on here but either way, it's great!
a year ? looking at your profile i would suggest the primary problem is your (you're?) not interacting with your new tribe very much..

The ranking part, and prioritizing people by a rank I never really liked from the start. I have interacted mostly in groups up til today, but nothing very much far from that.
@JamesAnthony I see a lot of benefits to the point system.. it encourages people to interact with each other, and allows you to filter out tire kickers and lurkers..
again..
its about interacting with others.. if your serious about meeting someone you need to practice this.. if you can't do it here, how do you do it in real life?
i don't know if you have been on dating sites like POF, but they make this place seem easy! There you have to be great on starting conversations or you get no replies! IMO this would be a great place for you to practice..
I think you can do well interacting if you subscribe to a particular way of thinking, in other words, be part of a group think. I don't really like that because I think you end up unwilling to criticise any notion that any member of the group might come up with.

I've been here since April this year. I normally don't send private messages to people and I have a "type" of woman I want to date that I don't see too often when browsing for potential dates near me.

@Donotbelieve Aren't you already in a relationship?
@Donotbelieve A physical characteristic that can be controlled through exercise and healthy diet 
One in person date that went suspiciously well I thought, but was subsequently ghosted anyways. And made quite a few platonic but fun-to-flirt with friends that I value. As for advice just be kind, friendly and witty as possible, engage in answering lots of questions and cast a wide net in looking around. If you notice a pretty/smart/interesting lady read her profile n if you think youve got quite a bit in common say hi n tell her so. Dont be pushy or impatient with anyone just put some convo starters out and see if anyone feels like chattin. We're all pretty spread out n responses may be sporadic but thats about the best any of us can do.

Also I see youre at level 4 after almost a year which suggests that you havent made many posts or replies at all. Most of the time women will not be the first to engage you on these sites, especially if there isnt a lot of info on your opinions already out there for their perusal. Your biggest problem is just lack of activity. Join some groups (I think theyre available at your level or soon will be if not) but put yourself out there more man. Go frolick amongst the messages and dance in the dandilions of replies. No promises on a girlfriend but youll def find some people to talk to if you engage with the groups that interest you.
Totally agree, and thanks for the input. I have left the dating scene several years ago due to the hermitage of my studies, so I have sort-of lost my way and gradually going back when it comes to that. I am more focused on friendships than anything else for the moment, people to speak with.
@JamesAnthony yeah and this site is great for that just keep an eye out for people you identify with or find funny or interestin, follow em and be yourself n post about things you like. Friendships are here aplenty, love my agnostic family (at least 80% of em lol)
I've met a bunch of people. We had a great meetup at a Renaissance festival. You can see my profile pics tell the story. Maybe create a Florida meetup group with a really cool activity to do? Guavaween or Marti Gras or something?

3 Women,but no face to face,maybe scammers,seemed to want to know my income,and got really friendly too quick. So,be cautious,interact,take your cursor up to the top of this page where it says"Browse",a pull down list of Women who frequnt this site will appear(2 pages),after you click on members.

That makes sense, thanks for the advice. I haven't used the pull down menu to search for people so much recently, as I can't find that many people in my area, but for now I am just looking for friendships.
Yes met my significant other here several months ago. Dan and I are very happy living together near Albany, NY where I relocated. Have made many friends after a year-look forward to meeting at our first get together.

Wow, congrats! Best of luck in your relationship! I have been trying to look for a get-together in my area of town, but most are rather farther away from where I live.
@JamesAnthony Yes,the distance is a factor,you and she may be very compatible.but when and how do you get together? Winter's here in some areas,interact via texting and e mails, planning for a spring meeting?
Enjoy being online again!
