Global Penfriends

Wow - i thought i better defend this great resource as a long term member! I am unpaid and not affiliated with GPF, other than being a happy long term member.

This club is very good. I have been using many penpal sites over the years and found Global Penfriends to perform best overall. Security is very good. Profiles are manually approved for content. They must also have some strange hocus pocus going on in the background as I can't remember ever being contact by non genuine profiles. They also have features that allow you to select the ages and gender that you prefer.

There is alot of people on this site. Everyday i am sent new matches and I have a very narrow criteria. This means i don't have to compromise on what i am searching for as the club has a range of different people.

They have a very detailed profile form - this is the real genius of Global Penfriends. You can see from the profile form that they are looking for genuine penpals. This form is quite long and not your typical penpal profile seeking to just get anyone and everyone on their database.

They specialise in Snail mail and e-pals. They offer a way for snail mail penpallers to collect addresses in a safe way. I notice the type of correspondence on the site changes with time - i guess this means they are keeping abreast of changing forms of communication.

Learning. I am learning as i browse for penpals - some great cultural data is collected from members and they offer insights into local culture that i never would have known about. I love how that has been integrated into a penpal site. It just makes sense.

If you are serious about penpalling - this site will give you long lasting friendships and many hours of joy. Best of luck.
