I’ve heard of a couple of people who are successfully in a relationship for several years, one of them married, and one of them living together like a married couple by choice, not married, meeting on plenty of fish. They said plenty of fish is free. Maybe that’s the difference. The others charge.

By the way, one of the males in one of the two relationships is extremely well off. He did not want to pay for a dating app. It’s understandable.

Not anymore, at least.

POF charges to send messages.

I have not paid to message

Would the person have paid for our conversation?

These days you’re better off to volunteer in your community where you can get out and meet other nice people F2F.

Hah. I found my original singles ad:

SWM 30 ND NS. Bookish sci-fi dork with a steady job who never watches sports. Great cook who makes better chocolate chip cookies (CCC) than you do (fight me!). Loves cats and hates who people hate cats. Looking for goofy, awkward female to do goofy, awkward things with and also share my CCC. Single moms welcome and children welcomed with love. Please send pics of your cat.

My wife answered to say that she didn’t have kids or a cat but that I sounded nice and she wished me luck. I noted that her reply was one of the few with perfect spelling and grammar and emailed back to ask if she was open to being awkward and goofy with someone else’s cat and things sort of happened…
