Well, I thought I’d give it a shot; take a risk and give that stupid social media experiment one final try. It just seemed like a good idea at the time, if a little lonesome.
I signed up for “interpals”, a pen pal site on a whim and waited for the responses to come rolling in. What kind of friendships would I make?
But, after six days spent on the site, nothing had come of it. All I had seen were scammers from Nigeria, setting up fake profiles, ready to pounce on someone gullible. It was a total bust.
I maneuvered my way through the online rat race; dodging the scammers and ducking from the schmucks. Once the seventh day arrives (the day I can officially delete my account), the only thing left to do is run like hell.
The great social media experiment has nearly ended for me. As much as I’m glad to be rid of the site and the scammers, it’s a bit disappointing that nothing came from the experience.
Ah well, so much for pen pals in 2023.
