Trying to Make Friends
I can see that trying to meet new people on Similar Worlds on Friday nights is probably not the best time.
My guess is most other people aren't like me. They don't stay in on Friday nights. Maybe they log in and look at messages or something while waiting for a friend to arrive. Or waiting for a spouse or partner to get ready. Perhaps they are going out to dinner. Or to a bar for drinks to unwind after a stressful week of work. Not something a retiree has to deal with.
Regardless of their quick stopover reasons, it seems to be in and out. Before I can even finish reviewing their profile, which I always do prior to sending an initial message, they have departed the premises.
