half the site isn't for agnostics and atheists. the whole site is. only part of it is for dating, as you say.

meanwhile, the fact that this site is partly for dating leads people to treat it like other dating sites, dedicated dating sites, where you write a profile and put up a picture and hope someone contacts you, and you look at other people's profiles and pictures and hope you find someone you like and that they respond if you get up the nerve to contact him. but the truth is, this site is better than that if you know how to use it, because the community side is where you get to know people. you will never get to know someone from a profile and a picture. from the posts and comments you will, at least a little, more than from the profiles and pictures anyway. and you can actually make friends that way, and sometimes that turns into something more. local? well... good luck. it's a big world. but you say you looked at some of the available local men. that's not going to give you a good picture. anyway, good luck.

I'm not focused on dating ... I'm open to it, but not focused on it, so i probably have a way different perspective. But, participating in posts and chats is probably a good way of meeting people?

The people i have regular interactions with on AG have been great. It is what you make of it.

Why? Because its only a year old? Agnostics are rarer than gay people? ??

It shouldn't be showing you gay men--maybe you need to check how you answered all the questions....

Oh and btw. Try being a guy.. where the ratio now seems 10 to 1 (male to female) on top of what you just mentioned.. lol

You're not competing with men. Men looking for men are not interested in women. No competition there.

Explains why I have so many guys hovering my profile ? but yeah even though I’m not looking I can see that this place is a pretty awkward for a dating site.

So I wish you luck and maybe something other than a rainbow trout might swim by one day. ??

Someone refund this woman's membership !

I feel the same way. It's already hard to find like minded people in Florida. I honestly have dedicated most of my time to meeting people outside of the internet. I'm also more liked in real life than online. Internet is crazy

Internet dating is a crap shoot anyway.
Maybe you should consider yourself lucky?

Try extending it to 100 miles.

Maybe you should open your radius up more. There are tons of people in the ? world

I am 70 miles south of you and there is only a small dating pool here. Take away the guys wearing camouflage and the bible thumpers and there is nothing left. I have volunteered for several organizations, taken classes, etc., and have found making friends and meeting potential mates impossible. Looking forward to relocation.

Complete you full profile - I agree with Anne that could be part of the problem.

At least you have available people near you in <50 miles. Come to BFE Tennessee and see what you're options are! lol

That's just not right.

I have my own Chinook. So distance is not a problem. (Just sayin, should you need a lift)

Finish filling out your profile, specify you are a female looking for a Male! I get No such silliness because I clicked the correct boxes.

There's nobody for me either from this site in my area. I'm as fed up with it as you. Paid sites are the only other real option, at least for me, of meeting anyone.

I spent a lot of years in Volusia County. I'm surprised we didn't meet.
