What our members say

I’ve met some great people! I would recommend to anyone else. Easy to use but if it was an app it would be better to work with.

Global Penfriends is really enjoyable to use, can be tricky to determine whether people's profiles are still active though (upgraded profiles do have more info though). I feel comfortable knowing that everyone's profiles are reviewed by real actual humans but still I would warn potential users to be careful and use age restriction options that Global Penfriends has provided on the profile form.

I’ve used this site for about…I’m not sure…9 months now? I’ve found so many great people to write to. Best way to find penpals that I’m aware of.

Each time I try to develop my scripts, I experience writer's block very often. To broaden my horizon, I interact with people on this site, and ideas just kick in. GPF has been really helpful
