ghosts Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm stickying this thread with a list of personals sites that might be of interest to asexuals. Also, I'm stealing this list & descriptions from the wiki (thanks Hallu!). So without further ado... Acebook - Formerly (?) A-Date; is a free dating site for asexuals, including integrated forums and chat software. Affectionate Friends is "a different kind of dating site", made for people (not necessarily asexuals) who want to share time and affection without worrying about sex or commitment. Asexual Pals is an informal introduction service that brings together asexual and celibate people for romantic and platonic relationships. Celibate Passions is a dating and networking site for celibate people looking for platonic relationships. It comes with chat, message boards, and email. Platonic Partners is a website celebrating celibate, platonic relationships, and allowing users to meet other like-minded people without the stresses of having to sexually perform. They are asexual-friendly and come with health resources and a newsletter. Link to post Share on other sites

AzuurMees Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 What a great list, I had no idea there were even that many personals sites around...definitely some good information! Link to post Share on other sites
Vivid-Dawn Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 There's also Plenty Of Fish It has options that you can chose "Hanging out" "Just Friends", and then the typical regular dating stuff. I still haven't figured out if "Activity partner" is innocent, or the 'no strings attached sex' kind of thing, so I just stick to looking for platonic friends. Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason I haven`t succeeded in registering there. I don`t know why but the same page comes up all the time when I fill all the gaps and click the button to go to the next step of registration. I tried various user names, passwards and so on... May be I`m going ? Link to post Share on other sites
Huggs Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Finding ACEBOOK the best out of all those sites listed thus far. At least it gives you a variety of ways to interact with others on the site. Forum, Private message, Chat room etc... Link to post Share on other sites

SavedAspie Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I tried plentyoffish, and quickly got some hits- then when I updated my profile to say no sex before marriage (figuring that's more socially acceptable than just saying no sex) my account suddenly got deleted. Thanks for the above list, I'm so excited to check them out!! Link to post Share on other sites
Huggs Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Acebook just tipped the 3000+ mark of people using the site Yay! Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the above list, I'm so excited to check them out!! I didn't have much luck on PoF either. I told this one guy I was ace and he insisted he wanted his girl to "want to jump all over him" and that even if I didn't want to, if I went out with him I would magically fall in love with him and then it wouldn't matter if I was attracted to or not because of coooourse I would have sex with someone I loved.

newgirl Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Most of those sites are not good. Plenty of fish is a site for sexual looking for sex. Acebook - The site is slow , old profile so don't expect a quick reply. A-Date site is slow and profile old. Affectionate Friends -site is slow Asexual Pals -The site is slow Asexualitic- the site is slow Celibate Passions - half of the profile are old Link to post Share on other sites

ejwood Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Acebook is the only personals site worth looking at Plenty of Fish is a site for people looking for sexual relationships and there is no asexual category so this is absolutely pointless. OK Cupid does not have an asexual category but there are quite a few asexuals on it who put bisexual as their orientation. Do a search under Asexual. Affectionate friends is a paid site Asexual pals is a paid site Asexualitic is a paid site even though they pretend not to be - you can't contact other members unless you pay Celibate Passions is a public site where anyone can view your profile and your photo, you don't have to sign up to browse photos which means your private details are available for anyone to see Platonic Partners is probably the worst of the lot - it is a paid site and the site itself is awful - most of the members haven't been online for months if you try to contact the site for help they never resond. In a nutshell, they are all rubbish - someone should start a new one! I'm stickying this thread with a list of personals sites that might be of interest to asexuals. Also, I'm stealing this list & descriptions from the wiki (thanks Hallu!). So without further ado... Acebook - Formerly (?) A-Date; is a free dating site for asexuals, including integrated forums and chat software. Affectionate Friends is "a different kind of dating site", made for people (not necessarily asexuals) who want to share time and affection without worrying about sex or commitment. Asexual Pals is an informal introduction service that brings together asexual and celibate people for romantic and platonic relationships. Asexualitic describes itself as "the first free dating site for asexual people", although technically it was released after the creation of A-Date, which is also free. Celibate Passions is a dating and networking site for celibate people looking for platonic relationships. It comes with chat, message boards, and email. Platonic Partners is a website celebrating celibate, platonic relationships, and allowing users to meet other like-minded people without the stresses of having to sexually perform. They are asexual-friendly and come with health resources and a newsletter. Link to post Share on other sites

They are asexual-friendly and come with health resources and a newsletter. To add to what you've said, on OKcupid, aside from just searching "asexual" (since many people don't even know what that is), fill out as many of the match questions as you can. You'll get the badges "Less kinky" and "Less desiring of sex" under personality in your profile before too long. This would be a big red flag that would turn people away from contacting you for casual sex. It will also put people with these same traits higher on your match list, and people who are more desiring of sex will be bumped down lower. Also, take tests like "the purity test" and get a nice, high purity score. I've used the term asexual before, but I would probably consider myself demi-sexual now that I know all the terms. (My last boyfriend, who I am still very close friends with said this term describes me quite well) I'm pretty sure very few people would understand what that means on a standard dating site (Although I would be happy to explain it). However sites like OKcupid do have plenty of ways to get your point across. Even if someone hasn't written "Asexual" in their profile, look at their personality traits, and quiz history...and drop a message :) Link to post Share on other sites
