Reggae night this Monday at a local bar). People are more likely to be proactive and not mull too long over e-mails like they do on other dating sites where they get caught up reading profiles and spending all their time on-line. It's a low-to-no pressure alternative to dating and making friends on-line. At Wannago is more about the activity and taking in culture with someone new.
