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!

"Pool school" will tend toward the positive comments about The Villages. Very few people will have the character and honesty to tell you about the great things that go on here like a mired of activities, while also pointing out any negatives either small or large. Maybe at a bar an "old timer" that is heavily lubricated with "truth serum" would give you the "down low" skinneys.
