I don't generally talk about alchemy in "real life," and when I do, it's metaphor. This is my place to talk about weird lab things without scaring people, hehe.

To recruit legions of soldiers for the alchemical overthrow of all governments.

Also as a public diary of my own transformation... when it is in the open, the illusion becomes more real.

:p

from personal experience ?
i am lonely...:(
I meant Alchemical dating site.

Perhaps we should start a classifieds section :)

Are you looking for a partner on this forum? If yes, I think it's awesome.

Also depends on your gender and/or orientation, because apparently it's mostly guys here...

I myself couldn't possibly be in a relationship with a non-alchemist :)

Might be a little tricky when the house smells like burnt dirt and glassware randomly explodes when you least expect it :/

Oh, that's what you think an alchemist's house is like?

Mine used to be like that too, only I had a separate lab shed, back in the day...

However, all of that stuff is completely useless to me today :)

Also, even if you're in the stinking stage, it still won't matter if you partner is an alchemist as well...

Yeah, I should have been more specific, saying that's what's up if your partner isn't an alchemist. I can't make the house I'm staying at smelly at the moment, but moving out soon, and I'll have a good spot for a well vented lab where I can burn things to my heart's content, lol. Well away from potential mates. An outside lab will be such a beautiful thing.

Primarily, I post to learn (I am still just a Seeker).

Secondarily, I post to sharpen my knowledge of Alchemy and find quotes backing up and in agreement with the current discussion being had and my current understanding of Alchemy.

Engaging in Alchemical discussion with others is helpful and pleasant, since like most of y'all here I have no one to talk to about Alchemy with in person.

We interested in Alchemy are few and far between!

We are rare indeed. I think that's the point, this is after all, a very sacred science.

I am primarily here to learn, however one of the ways I learn and grow is by sharing what I've learnt. Its also the only place where I get to express parts of myself that I would not otherwise express, both alchemical, and spiritual-psychotic.

Another wonderful place to thank all of you for participating with and/or tolerating me; and the mods and sponsors for their hardwork :D

Though it would be cool if I could find a kindred spirit here, a man from one of my dreams :)

To share thoughts and ideas, to grow and evolve, to find similarly minded people. Would be great to find a partner through here, but the chances are even smaller than making the stone.

Don't worry, I am sure there's hot "lab rat" babes around somewhere for everyone. Look:

Why do I get the feeling that someone's inbox just exploded?

I guess that means people here are the respectful type.

Maybe people are too afraid of becoming exposed by #metoo, so they just decide not to talk to women any more across the board?

:p

I'm also wondering if introverts are much more likely to be interested in alchemy than extroverts and if high in conscientiousness as well (which helps achieve some level of success in alchemy) are less likely to have or want to spend time in a domain (extroversion) that they are generally unfamiliar/uncomfortable with... Personally, I know quite a few introverts at work that are successful at what they do professionally but would rather get a root canal than go out to meet girls/women :D
