About Coming Together

To me it is somewhat ironic that people come to sites to meet other people – to come together, whether it is solely online or in person, or for whatever purpose(s). Then, some, judge others for whatever “reasons”, and still others complain about all of it.

Few focus on the simple fact is all “dating” sites do is offer the opportunity to communicate with other potentially (no guarantees) likeminded people. Whether it is for marriage, a one night stand, or just chat is strictly up to the people themselves.

What made me think of this is a simple email message I received from another dating site.

    Quoting missthee:
    Their intention is admirable and yet the statement as it is written speaks from a sense of privilege.
    Looking at it from the outside, the concept of an ethical stance being "American" is in itself an expression of prejudice. There is no national prerogative on human decency.
I don't read the ethical stance part as meaning solely "American".

    Quoting tresennui:
    Local Adult Companion is just an extension of everything else on the internet. Others who do not regularly frequent the site or only use it as a source of porn have no clue how it is platform for people to express their opinions about things other than sex.

    Who woulda thunk that a site where people feel free to display pussys and dicks and almost every conceivable sex act also has blogs and forums that people opine about politics, sports and a myriad of other subjects. Unfortunately, some express their prejudices, close mindedness and outright hatred.
Agreed, except for the body parts it is just another slice of inter/web/nets. I was surprised that a dating/sex site had blogs and forums at all and politics etc.

There is an advantage in allowing people to express their prejudices, etc - you find out who they are. Their ignorance is out for everyone to see.

    OK Cupid's niche has always been folks outside the mainstream: polyamorous, gender fluid, goth, you name it. That's one of the reasons Match bought them, because they had such success in that arena.

    AKAIK, that email wasn't in regards to anything specific, their position on social issues has always been front and center.

    All that being said, a lot of the monkeyshines and shenanigans we see here, have happened over there are well.
That's interesting because I've never seen anything like that there. From what I've seen OKC and PoF have the same people, PoF just has more. And from what I've read on women's profiles on both yes the monkeyshines and shenanigans are on most dating sites.

The email came right after the immigrant ban, otherwise I rarely get messages from OKC corporate.

Well, the main blog page has the following:
"Blogs are a simple way to create your own regularly updated homepage on A*F*F. They're a great way to find out more about other members and to tell people more about yourself and your real life experiences with people you've met on A*F*F"
So they don't seem to restrict the type of content posted, only how people interact.
