@Ahshsnsjsksnhs I haven't been on here long enough to speak in absolutes, but I have had many meaningful conversations with men and women, and have ongoing friendships with a few people. You get out what you put in.
If you start your chats with "M or F" then don't expect much. But if you ask how the other person is doing, listen to their responses and take an interest in them, you will be surprised at what happens.
