Why join Science Connection?

... rather than just the big Internet singles sites?

Several reasons:

1. We're specialized. Having an interest (and in many cases, professional involvement) in science or nature gives a high degree of social compatibility. And many members are very busy people who simply don't take part in singles groups and activities for the general public and who don't place personal ads.

2. We are a membership organization, rather than a group of "users". Internet singles services are steeped in anonymity. In Science Connection, honesty and openness prevail.

3. The information that members provide to other members via our format is more detailed and forms a better basis on which to initiate an acquaintance.

4. "Instant results" and free initial membership may seem optimal to prospective users. But... (!) ... What happens is that the more 'desirable' users/members get deluged with contacts that are mostly ultra casual and inappropriate. These people (and this applies especially to younger women) tend to drop out or become effectively inactive in that they don't reply to contacts.

5. Science Connection is not run by anonymous business people. It was started for science/nature types by science/nature types. The Coordinator is a biologist. We who run SC take an interest in the organization and our members. We're the human element that helps keep this group both friendly and astonishingly well mannered. :)
