It's what u make off it really, there's lotta strange individuals on here but some solid ppl too, it's a unorthodox place, unique in its own way, you kinda have to stick around to appreciate it for what it is.

SpectralMourning has kinda nailed the answer for me.


I’ve been doing the Q&A thing since 2007. I just don’t have the energy/inclination for building new friendships anymore.

Initially, I did come here for friends. Like others have said, it causes fatigue.

I have made friends here and I cherish them. It gets so complicated and disheartening when a new user name pops into your inbox.

What’s their kink? That’s far and away the most common reason. They lie. That’s not why they’re writing to me. They just have a problem they want to know my wise suggestions about. They don’t. They just want to trick me into conversations so they can then figure out how to work in their private perversions.

After a while you just get worn out. The best way to get acquainted is by reacting and commenting to posts. Sooner or later you’ll find someone with common interests.

human connections take time and require some work.. I want to believe I have come close enough with few to consider there is at least a beginning of a deep appreciation through time and care, that can potentially become friendship.

I ask because whenever I try to chat with people, hardly anyone responds and if they do, the convo doesn't last. It's just one conversation and that's it. I know this site isn't really for connecting with people like that but just thought I'd ask how other peoples' experiences are on here in regards to that

It honestly takes a lot for me to want to maintain a friendship these days . In my experience it is s one way street and then I stop trying .

I had to talk to hundreds before finding people to talk with regularly

I like some people on here and consider them friends.

i have a few people on here i would actually consider to be a good friend

Most convos die for me as well. If you want a friendship to die, take the conversation to private messages. Some survive it, but most of the time, they don’t.

Convos die. Will see a lot of the same users over time and will interact over the occasional post but that's really it.

Just like in real life, friendships require effort on both sides.

i stick to Qs cuz PMs = commitment and ya cant tie me down with those

I usually bore people and then they stop talking to me
