Is this site meant to be partly a dating site?

In my profile, it seems there is a lot of options (I ignored) that lead to it being about things for dating.

It seems like a lot of people use it for that.

I’ve never believed that was its intention but connections are sometimes made that go beyond friendships.

@Pinkstarburst I'm still learning, but think for now... I'll just watch and see how things go. Do people create their own groups?

Pinkstarburst

@SW-User No. We can’t do it on SW. I personally think that’s a good thing.

SW-User

@Pinkstarburst I agree. lol

It was supposed to be a support site. EP was, at least. But then, people want to date everywhere so....

t's nothing extraordinarily for SW, they already did back on EP.

@MasterofNone I don’t think this site was founded as a support site.

@Keepitsimple he understands my crazy pretty well and doesn't complain

JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M

Do you have any plans for later tonight?

Gangstress · 41-45, F

Yah I think they changed it round dependant on what people were posting about. That's why you get a series of dating options oh and nudity

SW-User

@Gangstress That explains a lot

There’s some GREAT people on here. Fun to talk to. And then there are the ones who make this place see like it is full of trolls. Look for the good ones. They surface quickly...as do the trolls.

PrincessOfQuilts · 31-35, F

I dont think it matters what you put on your profile, perverted dickheads will still try to hit on you

People will take any opportunity they can to find someone for whatever purpose 🤷‍♀️

rachelsj · 22-25, F

Idk but I'm just here to chat and make friends

SW-User

@rachelsj Same for me. :)

Elevatorpitches · F

Its a snarker site and a loser-celebration site and a self pity site. And a "love me I'm so cute" site

One thing I see it isn't.... is a MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE site

They are all busy keeping it just like it is. And they will most likely attack me for saying this, maybe cause I'm right.

ninalanyon · 61-69, T

@Elevatorpitches So which of those reasons is the reason you are here?

😜

Elevatorpitches · F

@ninalanyon 🙏

My dearest besties know that. You can believe what you ****** wanna

Or u could see my other writings which should tell u.

MaryJanine · 61-69, F

I agree, there are great people on here. Smart ones, too. But for several months, all it was was politics and voting and-pro-Trump. Now it's people trying to "hook up" with one another stranger they have never met before, or worse, "sugar daddies" or "mommies". These desperate people will take up with anyone who looks at them crosseyed. Thwy don't know who they are.

MaryJanine · 61-69, F

Everybody lately is either out looking for a date or a "sugar daddy" - and people are responding to virtual strangers. The Internet is not "The Dating Game" but folks are chasing each other like crazy and looking for - what?

This is as dangerous at it always was. Use your smarts and stay safe!

SW-User

It's been a while since I've looked at the settings. From what you're saying they've changed it. It wasn't so blatant. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some I guess) it's evolved into something else entirely.

Elevatorpitches · F

@SW-User People in the world are "evolving" into something else. Some are not, they control what they tjhemselves are.

DrWatson · 70-79, M

I never regarded it as a dating site. Is there even a group about "I am looking for a date?"

@DrWatson How about: https://similarworlds.com/3404677-I-Want-A-Date

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@ninalanyon Well, that answers my question! On the other hand, a whole whopping 7 people are in that group.

ninalanyon · 61-69, T

@DrWatson There are lots of groups with even fewer people. I think SW should have some mechanism for deleting inactive groups.

Justenjoyit · 56-60, M

I just think if you put a lot of people in a room together and interaction takes place, you will end up liking someone, what is the difference here?

@Justenjoyit
Okay

ninalanyon · 61-69, T

@Keepitsimple Then you politely decline to meet them again.

Repete · 61-69, M

That is one part of actually “dating in person” tells you way more about compatibility then all those hours and hours of chatting on line does.as far as being let down I don’t think there’s ever an easy answer for everyone involved. My opinion is to be as honest as possible from the very beginning, show your true self and expect them to do the same ( they may not so you do have to be careful ) it sometimes hurts but sadly that is life . You could make a great connection also but you’ll never know if you don’t risk it a little..@Keepitsimple]

TheConstantGardener · 56-60, M

I don't believe so. There are sites tailor-made for that. Although I am aware of some people developing relationships here, even to the point of marriage.

SW-User

@TheConstantGardener On a different site, I once asked about people who met from far away and fell in love. The responses were amazing and showed anything was possible. That still makes my heart smile. :) I'm just not here for dating or flirting. We all have stages in life and I'm just not at the flirting and dating one now.

Mellowgirl · 31-35, F

I think but I'm not certain. This site is open to anything. Until its reported enough to be removed...

ninalanyon · 61-69, T

I don't know if they meant it to be but I met someone on here.

LokiBecky · 18-21, F

Nah but its fun to derty talk a few strangers
🥰

SW-User

@LokiBecky If that is what a person wants, but it's not for all of us.

I hope not. I joined for anonymity.

Dating - meet people
Dates - time
Dates - fruit

So many date types here. You can schedule a date on a date and plan on eating dates.

Highonheels · 51-55, M

Its supposed to be a site for people who Share similar interests to come together and make new friends

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

Just a sex site really. You have to be pretty stupid not to be able to connect with somebody in person.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

Only if someone has it on their profile, otherwise leave them alone.

@SW-User I don't want a dating site either. I prefer to learn, maybe meet a few friends and hopefully not have my inbox full of those wishing for more.

@SW-User oh please...with moron-types if you're unavailable they think you're just teasing their mock.

@OogieBoogie That should be the official description of the site on the home page!
