aleles Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Hi everyone, is there a section on the forum dedicated specifically for FDR members looking to find like-minded partners for dating and marriage? I only found random posts. Do you think there is enough demand/supply due to the gender biased nature of the FDR content? Imagine, a few years from now. FDR dating service, "Our members build the happiest relationships on the planet!" 3
philschneider Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I am already in a happy relationship at the moment, but this seems like a great idea. In the past I spent some time looking for anarchist dating websites or forums, and I found nothing. I think FDR would be a good place to try this out.
Wesley Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I might point you to the FDR meetup page (Link at the bottom of the page): MeetUp From there you can meet people and things might evolve from there where you will either meet women at the meetups or more rational guys who might be able to introduce you to some of their friends. I also say you can find people to talk to. If you hang out in chat, friend people on the boards, join skype conversations, etc. As far as turning FDR into a dating site or having a dating section, I think that FDR might not be quite popular enough in order to so that well and that Mike and Stef can spend their time in other areas better, but if someone else wanted to spend some time putting something together, it would be an interesting idea that I would be curious to see how it works out. 2
aFireInside Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I think it would be a good idea. Maybe for donators only
PatrickC Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I'm with Wes on this issue.. FDR has resources they could probably better allocate. That said, if there was enough contributions towards this regard as Ivan highlights, then let's hear the fat lady sing.

aFireInside Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I actually don't think it takes much resources to add a section that is titled "Dating". It would be amusing because for every 1 girl there are 100 guys so the competition would be brutal. 1
JamesP Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 You can already use the resources of the board to connect with anyone. Even if the ratio is skewed, having a dating portal does allow romantic potentials to find each other unambiguously. I don't know if it'll get done but the idea has been thrown around from time to time. It's an interesting idea.
Omega 3 snake oil Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 It sounds like a total sausage fest but sign me up 2
aleles Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks everyone! Can we ask Mike to add a Dating section on the forum and maybe move some older posts from other sections into it? This would be an easy start and we can see where it goes.
MysterionMuffles Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 This has been presented so many times already. If you find someone you fancy, just start PMing them.
Bedouin Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Sorry just digging about in necrotic posts, but I just had this image of such a section becoming like a sort of naval vessel at sea, or a prison. There would be so few girls, so much competition and so many guys that we'd end up just saying "fuck it, we're both guys but wanna hook up anyway?" Ratios not good enough, bottom line at the moment.
shirgall Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 This has been presented so many times already. If you find someone you fancy, just start PMing them. Old posts are supposed to be discussed in the "Carbon" dating forum.
