I find it very hard to make friends especially in person. This site has really helped me expand my circle. It really helps to be able to have regular conversations with people but also there to be an understanding that I can't always be on here. I also really appreciate the ability to filter out who can and can't search for you in those sort of safety features it makes me feel really secure using this site.

Global penfriends is good as I have been able to connect with different people from all other the world but I'm only disatisfied with the fact that I can only view the current 5 people on chatlist and I can't view my previous conversations

I like to scroll on profiles. It’s a shame that I can’t contact people so often that I would want to. I don’t like the fact that some profiles I can’t contact at all.

The bugs on the writing emails need to be fixed. There should be an algorithm rule to avoid people without picture to send anything to people who says they don't want to talk to the ones who don't show their faces.

I found my best friend through this site and we've been friends for more than 3 years now. I'm so lucky to find her in this website. It doesn't matter that we are almost 5000 miles apart.
