Hi everyone,
It's taken me about 10 cycles of installing apps to try and find someone nice, then getting really upset and "pushing my big red trigger button". Painful lessons driven by the need to find someone to cuddle up to and talk.
Of course there are other ways to meet people, but as we all know it's difficult to leave the house sometimes so online dating etc makes some sense.
I got sick of being ignored (3% hit rate on returned greetings)
I got sick of people lying when I challenge them on why they didn't say hello back
I got sick, it became almost obsessive and a big fat trigger for me.
I'm sure sites and apps work for some people - awesome, just not me.
What have your experiences been?
Paul

Hi there Justin,
I don't think there ever has been anywhere completely safe, at the same time though, I am learning that even in the darkest times or the most hostile places there are allies. I am not surprised that the technology gets used in this way to be honest. I think we might be well placed as a community to tackle this, we have experience in living full lives in the context of all the risks. I am encouraged by both sides of politics standing up against hate speech.
Rob.
