Just curious do they exist? What did you think about them?

I do not think so, and if they did I have not heard of them. It would be really helpful considering that most of the people I talk to will not even consider me because I am pagan and not a fru-fru church going lady

I don't know why either, I looked it up on the net and there are a few but I don't think Ive ever heard anyone speak one way or the other. Kinda weird huh? Since we all find each other anyway I guess it really is no big deal. Just was wonderin.:smile:

Yes there are a few scattered on the net. I joined one about a year ago and no one ever seem to visit. There appeared to be some members but every time I logged on when I checked "who's online" there was not one person.

So they exist but it seems to be difficult to find one that is really jumping. If anyone has had better luck, I would like to know although Im assuming giving out URLs for other dating sites is a no no so use discretion and perhaps private message.

I've noticed a trend towards more and more specialized dating sites -- often reflected in some of the ads on this very site -- but I think the people who create these sites are very leery of targeting any demographic they consider (rightly or wrongly) too small to support a viable site.

For instance, I have never found a dating site for people who don't drink -- we seem to be so rare that no one thinks a dating site would be workable.

And I have only found one site for people who don't have kids and don't want kids -- and that was rather depressing, since those people simply substituted possessions for "kids." I bet they have 50 pictures of their big houses and boats in their wallets!

Yes Ive noticed that also. There are sites that definitely seem to hone in on some specific sub culture. Often times its a particular sexual fetish. You would think a dating community of non-drinkers or recovered alcoholics might be a very good idea. An issue like that is certainly uncompromisable as far as relationship compatibility goes. On this site, you can select "occasionally" on the drinking question but what is "occasionally"? That's awful subjective. I imagine to a confirmed non-drinker, occasionally is too often.

:smile: It's just like in high school when you had the "in" crowd kids, cheerleaders, football players etc., if you aren't special enough to be one of those people then your just outside in the cold. That make sense? I agree "occassionally" really covers a wide range of drinker types. Minorities always suffer their cause I suppose. But individually thats a good thing.:smile:

I've seen one, but it wasn't of any use. I had to laugh at your comment Lex, with regards to the drinking. I've never actually looked, but try to be very clear on the no smoking, little drinking part. The thing with the kids is true, though in my case, I substitute kids for animals, and that's a turn-off for most.

I'm not sure which is the bigger deterrent to finding someone -- the fact that I refuse to get involved with anyone who drinks, or that I refuse to get involved with anyone who has kids. Combine the two, and I've effectively excluded 182% of the female population.

Which is OK, because I've been in enough relationships to know what I want -- and, perhaps more importantly, what I don't want.

Yeh, it's the same issue with men, too. And thats not even counting the ones who were married and divorced, and had kids. The sheer amount of always single men who weren't careful... It always amazes me how huffy and indignant those with kids get when you tell them you don't want to deal with kids. I mean really, they're not all sweet little innocent angels, there's a few who need serious beatings! :-)

I guess I'm pretty lucky then.

My girlfriend's a pagan who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't want children, and has animals instead. Plus she's extremely attractive, sexy, young, and doesn't mind if I worship her, the Mood Goddess, and talk to Faeries.

She also thinks that sex is spiritual and she's interested in having tantra sex whilst listening to nature music as well as practicing Boobism, er, I mean Buddhism.

She's extremely intelligent, well-educated, knows quite a bit about medicine and natural herbal cures.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I found her though since I must confess that I asked the Goddess of Love to introduce us. So it wasn't an accident that we met. :wink:

In short, you don't need a pagan dating site. All you need to do is get on the good side of the Love Goddess. bigsmile

I don't think there are any, mostly because there's so many beliefs involved by using the term "Paganism"

Pagan is such a wide term that I usually just tell people I have Wiccan based faith. It makes more sense to people who are too ignorant to understand.

That, and it makes the Christians twitch because they have a "witch" in their midsts ;)

Can't say that I've ever run across one, but I'm still new to the whole online thing. Finding other pagans to practice with seems hard enough without trying to single some of them out for a relationship. Especially since the word "pagan" comes with so many meanings. waving

explode please don't try to make the christians twitch..it makes it hard for everyone. I have practiced for 20 years. and its something i keep to myself until the relationship gets serious. I don't even get serious with someone that appears to not be accepting at all. i think if you have a "list" no kids....no this no that. you might miss the right person.
