What our members say

I have built meaningful global friendships thanks to this platform. The site does a great job of vetting individuals to avoid individuals looking for partners.

I have met a few real individuals through this site. I appreciate the opportunity to connect via the site rather than directly.

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

I met a friend I love very much here. I am happy to use this place. Maybe it would be better. I cant see where there was a place to send emojis or stickers
