Delusions about relationships on this platform.

I don’t believe that it should be an expectation that when you come on this app, you should automatically be thinking about dating or romance. They have many apps out there specifically tailored for those people who are truly interested in finding a relationship online. So I don’t really see the sense of your coming out here and comparing this app to any other apps that are for the purpose of dating romance. This app is for socializing. And if something sprouts out of that fine. But as you said yourself, and I will, reiterate, this is not specifically a dating app.

The size of a community isn’t always the basis for finding a connection. Sometimes, if two people are truly meant to cross paths, it happens in the most unexpected ways and moments, even without any prior anticipation. It often depends more on timing and the individuals involved rather than the number of users on a platform.

Hey Nick, well, I do agree with you that it is probably better when attraction develops in a natural environment where you have in person interaction. When you actually are in an environment with someone, you can pick up on so many cues that you cannot pick up on through this app. You can pick up on appearance, their energy, the way they carry themselves, their clothing, their smell, the way they are present in a room. Those are things that are a little more difficult to pick up on through an app. I have had the experience where I met someone on a platform and then met in person and I completely did not have chemistry with a person and I actually broke their heart and I felt really bad about it but they just did not meet my standards in person. If we had met in a natural environment, within person , face-to-face interaction from the beginning, that would not have happened. Things would’ve never progressed to a romantic level in the first place. That being said, I did meet my husband on a platform and when we got together in person, it was fantastic. We did not have a prolonged relationship through a platform. We only talked for a month or so before meeting in person. And we’ve been married ever since and we have six kids. So I think it can be done successfully. But there were very few people that I have found across platforms, or in life, that I believe we’re worth entering into a relationship with, but I’m also very selective and have a lot of standards.

It seems like everybody is living in a fantasy land. Like living their dreams through Disneyland, wishing upon a dream that never shows up instead of realizing what reality is truly is, but go figure.

Hey Anthony, I totally agree with you. There’s a lot of unattractive behavior out here. But I definitely don’t criticize people for that. They’re doing the best they can. There are people on here that clearly have multiple disabilities and are just looking for love and I wish them all the best. I definitely don’t want to destroy their hope for finding what they’re looking for.

My honest acessment is this. From what I've noticed, and I noticed the same on VoRail, most of the people who are looking the hardest just put out posts that scream, "Please notice me, because I'm lonely and sad." This is not the energy that typically attracts true love. It might attract sympathy. It might attract someone who enjoys rescuing the underdog here and there, but not real love. There are two types of people in the world. One walks into a room and says, "Here I am!!!" The other walks into that same room and says, "There you are!!!" To me, it's better to interact with people and get to know them, developing a friendship which could possibly turn into more. But we all have our own approach. I don't mean this as a criticism, just food for thought.

I know a couple that just met off of here a week or so ago, in person, and things are going great, so I don’t know what your reasoning is based on. You can connect with someone anywhere, in school, at the doctors office, on the train. As long as you’re open to connection, you can find someone that’s compatible. I’m not saying that it’s easy, especially if you have a lot of standards, but it’s certainly possible and it has definitely happened and you don’t need a platform with millions of people to find the person that you’re compatible with. You can be compatible with many different people. As long as they share your values and meet your standards. That being said, it is definitely not easy to find a person that you truly want to be in a relationship with, and that is anywhere, not just on this platform. But this platform is as good places as any

I hear what both of you are saying. My thought was why not try it out? If I find someone, great! If not, that's fine too. I don't have much experience with relationships anyway.
