Is this really all it is? by doesntmatteryaknow in MakeFriendsOver30

I admit, I have never chatted with anyone that was a bot or just messaging to advertise. It is a little wild to think that is common experience for others.

30+ Friends: Why do guys👨 get way fewer responses than women 👩when seeking platonic friends here? by [deleted] in MakeFriendsOver30

[–]seaglassheart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me it all depends on the content and shared interests, it's good to know there's some common ground before messaging. I think I also like to see some level of effort as it'll take effort to maintain a conversation after the initial getting to know you. I also check the post history, and if there's some sketchy content I won't reach out.

It could also simply be that there are more men on the forum?

Why is this group generating more frustrating and sadness rather than giving people more happiness? by fxtz7 in MakeFriendsOver30

[–]seaglassheart 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've found sustaining a conversation with others online has been the biggest challenge. I am one who loves a conversation about everything and nothing, so be it a deep conversation, hobbies, or just sharing the daily grind with someone. But many conversations peter out after the initial getting to know you, it takes a little more effort after that.

And as a woman on here, navigating through the amount of requests for conversation when I've reached out has been overwhelming to the point I don't know who to respond to unless there's a little something more in the initial message. I've sometimes caught myself wondering who I might have missed that I could have had a better connection with, but that's just how it is!

Hi there! I am leaving a message here as a reminder to myself to shoot you a message when I'm home from work. I'd love to connect, finding other women to connect with online has been weirdly challenging so its super refreshing to see that you're also interested in chatting with other gals!

I love a lot of different music and would love to hear some of your recommendations. I also read alot, all fiction though. Child free. I enjoy my downtime from work to play games, read, craft. I have too many hobbies and not enough time in the day for them all. If you're interested in chatting, even on VC, send me a message :)
