I've tried several websites for penpalling and I can say this is the most secure one. No scammers and helps us find a good penpal with the many details that has to be uploaded when making the profile.

Before I came across GPF, I wished there was a platform that was meant for finding platonic connections with people from around the world. I appreciate the realness of the experience, and the close monitoring on profiles by actual humans. It’s a great website and I recommend it to everyone. The only things I find quite frustrating are of course the limitations in order to get people to pay, such as being blocked from messaging 20% of people on the website.. But in general I love it.
