I was on interpals for a while now i deleted the account after two months then i kept some people in contact who i messaged for 6 months and a half. All i experienced was lust feelings and mind games and lies to have a girl hopes up when no one stays. Its just for Skype and whatsapp to waste time and have a good laugh of it. Not for serious person who wants to be commitment for it to be real., i learned that nothing really beats real friends in real life. Compared to friends you'll meet online. You never no when they'd change their mind and you'll never know who they really are. This website does not have people with substance on it, because they leave when they see it s full of rubbish. Apart from the scammers any normal people, are bit weird and maybe quite sad- social rejects of society. That s why they resort to these online websites. They re also quite rude and lack humor. No one fun- just weird people. Good luck for all who wants to see how it goes, just be extra careful and know the person well for a long period time not just months test it. Also don't catch feelings or suffer with the hurts from someone you don't know. I hope anyone of you find a penpal site that is suitable for you!:-) Although, i wouldn't recommended at all.
