It's great that you can choose who can contact you. Especially as a woman it's reassuring to know that not any creepy person can contact you. So far I've only had good experiences with this website and met some very good friends through it.

This is a great site for finding pen pals. There is good security and advice, so I felt confident using it. I have met some really lovely people on here, and still no weirdos after over a year using it.
