Two sides of a coin

Interesting that Polyamory Date is actually two different sites. The first is the main site that is simply profiles and people desperate to be noticed or make a connection. The various chat rooms are places where people try to quickly get noticed in the hopes of something more. The place is the blogs. Places where people put in a bit more time and effort. Where conversations are a bit more evolved. This is definitely the better place. Oddly I’ve seen those I’ve chatted with in the first part sneak peaks in the blogs and never even engage. Definitely tells me that they really are not interested in me beyond the superficial. Bit disheartening but also a good lesson.

Definitely weird. A few I thought I had a good connection with just view and leave. Rather telling in my opinion of how they’d behave if we ever met.

It takes two to interact and communicate, and I see the advantages of all three. I have met people from all three sections you mentioned, random emails, getting to know someone first in a chatroom, and blogging buddies. And then again there are people from all three sections I hope I never meet. Not everyone is comfortable sharing things about themselves in an open forum. I will say meets are more successful once you get to know someone away from the open forums, where someone that might be an introvert are more likely to be more forthcoming in what they share with you. Blogs? I tell people that email me if they want to know more about me to read my blog. Some I never hear from again, most times it opens up a dialogue between the two of us. I ,for one, do not as a rule blog about other people I have met from this site. That ends up biting you in the ass 9 times out of 10. Plus I believe in the golden rule, "do unto others, etc. I wouldn't want my personal business plastered on here by someone else. Even if my identity is heavily veiled, "I" would know. It's a strange time right now and people can be strange. I am glad you found the blogs though Yes the conversations are more "evolved" as you say, but remember, we have more time to think and write and rewrite. A chatroom is more of an "in the moment" type interaction.

More often than not I find john doe with a profile that says "looking for whatever, hit me up, let's chat" etc....
But then when you take the time, show the interest and spend the hard to earn points, they never take the time or courtesy to even answer. Often times such a waste......

Pretty good analysis and, I'd say, bang on!
Took me a little while to figure THAT one out.
Well, good luck to you. ❗❗😎
