Hi and welcome to DnM, D00MGaze. I am in shock reading much of your post about robots, I had no idea they are that common and AI (Artificial Intelligence) is now that good to use. I mean those stupid AI telephone answering systems can't get what you ask for right. They always hang up on you or put you through to the wrong person who then hangs up on you trying to transfer you to the right place...... GRRR!! Oh how I despise AI systems, but that is a pet peeve of mine.
About us, Marisa (Admin) does provide us a free, small user base dating site here. I haven't looked lately but there did used to be a donate button if you want to donate something, it is not a requirement. I've been on site here for 15 years or so by now (and currently part of the "nMore" crowd). There aren't many rules (aka TOU) but the ones we have are important to follow Rules .
The general way of looking for friends is to use the search or members
buttons, enter in the
criteria you are looking for then see what the results of the search
are. if something does appear in the results then visit the profile(s)
and send some type of "notice me" such as a virtual gift or even a
Private Message (PM) if you like what you see in their profile. Since we
don't have scammers here (or at least nearly zero) you will be likely
to find that there are not dozens or hundreds of screen names going
after you like dogs to fresh meat. You will be better off finding people
yourself as opposed to waiting for someone to contact you.
in between searches or waiting for answers you can ask and
answer poll questions, join or create group(s). Upload, vote on, comment
on videos and pictures, participate in the forums, and probably more
stuff than that too.
The FAQ's are located at the bottom of every page, and if you have a
question about the site the FAQ's don't answer there is a help forum https://datingnmore.com/site/forum/28
as
well. if you still can't find your answer please post the question in
the help forum. chances are good you are not the only one with that
question so you are helping everyone by posting your question. or ask
one of the staff if it is more personal and you
don't want the public to know about it.
good luck and have fun here.
