Why are you sending me mail? My profile clearly states my age, and that I am here for friendship, and possibly casual dates. Like a coffee or lunch date. Not for hook ups or intimate encounters. Certainly not for any long term relationship or marriage.
Why are you at 39 and still wanting kids contacting a 66 yr old widower who smokes like a train, doesn’t what kids, and never drinks.
Oh and I forgot, you are on the other side of the country. Unless you are 55 or older, and live in Michigan, please don’t like me, don’t message me.

Your target audience is not likely to read anything in the forums.

They are busy scamming.

I guess the both you are correct. The forums used to be how you found out about people here. Chatting, interacting, conversations.
Sigh.

We know....we have been around that long, good luck ;-)
