The vast majority of Villagers are happy, enthusiastic people who consider The Villages to be Paradise. I haven't read the comments generated by your post, so they all may be positive. I'm simply urging you to not draw negative opinions about The Villages from snarky, unhappy people. Float around in the pool and mention you are new- people will embrace you and tell you about the place- it's called, "Pool School". Welcome!

Unfortunately, what you posted is true. There seems to be a major disconnect between the happy, content people you meet everyday in The Villages, and some of the nasty, snarky people that post on social media. Some of those “naysayers” aren’t even Villages residents.
