Has anyone had a pen pal before?

The idea of having that kind of relationship with someone seems kind of amazing to me.

Had several as a teenager back in the day.
England; France; Germany; America and Sweden.
I learned so much in terms of language; culture; traditions etc.
It was really good !

That's what cracks me up today !
40 years on and you get this incredible thing called the internet where you can swap and exchange ideas and real information about your side of the world, yet so many use it to bitch about movies or other people they've never met !
I know!! This generation does not appreciate other countries or cultures. I was so fascinated by my penpal. I loved him as my friend so so much....he was the coolest person I’d ever gotten to know besides my husband. @Picklebobble2
Now guys I meet online from different countries don’t give a crap about culture or chatting about the differences between the two countries. They just want to chat about sex. 🙄@Picklebobble2

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 really? please explain and back up your claim against that particularity about 'this generation'.

esp. in an age with international connectivity electronically.

some generalizing accusations you have there.


it's ok to cite sources also, SW allows linking.

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 Sad indictment on humanity isn't it .
Well in the experiences on this site.....I’ve tried dozens of times to chat about other things...It’s sex the majority want to talk about. Do you know how many stupid messages I get asking if I’m into younger guys, want to have sex with a younger guy? It’s ridiculous. 18-26 year olds send me these messages. So not exaggerating.
