Le sigh, looking for friends on Reddit

[XanaDUer2]

Maybe Id better stop. I went onto some local meet up pages. My posts are pending.

Anywho, someone on Reddit reached out. Now, I should have checked profile and comments first. I use my generic name. They said let's have lunch reach out. THEN I checked the profile. NSFW. Ok. Hmmmm.

Post history. Tons of x-rated posts. Think it's a man. I blocked. Sister said too many weirdoes on Reddit. I'm putting myself out there. Need to be careful.

1. Def be careful!

2. Finding friends is difficult!

Unless you go to church or have a hobby that takes you out among other people with the same hobby, there aren’t many choices. I think you’re brave to put yourself out there. Besides my husband, I just have email friends, and I’m grateful for them. Be careful, and good luck!

3. Someone PMd me

They said "lunch' is a code word for swingers

[crosinski]

4. Well that's good to know.

Would kind of be hard to talk to him if normal words were codes for something else.

5. Yeah he was polite

Now I know. Within the context of my entire post, however, it seemed pretty clear what/ who I was looking for

6. I'm curious

Wouldn’t your significant other be jealous if you had a male friend? My husband would be.

7. It was clear in the context of my post

I was looking for a female to visit library programs, etc. I said female, 50s and 60s. Yet xxx men hopped on me. I was not in a sex/ swingers forum.

8. Yes, I understand

You’re certainly doing your best to find friends. I’ve never been that outgoing and I envy your bravery, even though the results are not working out so far.

9. I've updated it to add platonic female.

Hopefully that'll weed out XXX

10. I updated to add I'm looking for a platonic female friend

So the XXX men hopefully leave me alone.

11. I wish that would work.

But, this is the internet... home of Rule 34!

Good luck. It is not impossible, just very difficult because of all the 'weeding'...
