Being a senior + T-Girl, and living alone with no family left, no friends left to speak of, I have often joined many dating/friendship and chat sites for seniors, not to mention other sites for music, fitness/bodybuilding and countless others.
I have always been among those who posted real pictures, along with video clips if the site has that capacity.... but found myself among a sea of faceless, no name, no pictures or fake profiles, who bombard me with unbelievable requests. Now, how can I communicate with someone who has a fake picture, or no picture at all?
Then despite my profiles clearly stating I am only looking for friends and communication, here they come trying to get my phone number, wanting to meet immediately, fall in love, MARRY ME (omg)!
They see me but I cannot see them, yeah right, I'm gonna marry someone who is afraid to show their face lol? They keep trying and trying to get more from me, and I keep refusing, and end up blocking them. I can't understand why anyone would try to force me to do something I don't want to do!?
Also, they never read anything. One man who communicated with me for weeks, finally, in a message, told me he was not interested in me anymore after finding out that I am a T-girl, (which it clearly stated in my profile which he did not read lol!).
He only looked at the pictures.
"Not interested in what?" I asked him, ...."we are just online friends chatting, and that's all we will ever be." I told him. Poof! He was gone like prunes through a goose. This happens time and again to me. To seniors living alone, hey, chat rooms can be great, you can make online friends, communicate, keep in touch, etc. It could be a great experience for you....but unfortunately for me, this has not been the case.
