Since losing my best friend a few years ago, she passed away, I have made some female friends but they never worked out. So I shied away from making friends for a long time. I then decided to try to make some female friends to help improve my life and help move on. I have zero female friends. So I signed up to a friends making site and stated I wanted female friends only. After a few messages from men who either didn’t read, or didn’t care that I had stated in my profile that I am engaged and only looking for female friends, I finally got a message from someone with the name “Kirsty”. I was really excited. It was a normal “hello I’m Kirsty how are you” kind of thing. I was happy - finally a girl! Until I opened the profile. Pics below. Am I being unfair to feel a bit, well, let down and tricked? I deleted my account after that and will find another more well known friends app like bumble maybe. Pics below

Its a bit clumsy - but can't see what they've done wrong? They've been upfront on their profile.

You feel blindsided from the off, so they probably wouldn't make a potential friend now - but otherwise I'd consider what qualities you are actually looking for, do your interests align for example?

Not sure if I am being unfair or not. I was shocked and really I felt tricked after so many men sending messages for partners on a friend only site, I was so happy and thought there are women out there yey. I suppose maybe it was the language in the profile- “hi I’m Kirsty. Well not really.” It felt like a joke or trick. Maybe I’m being unfair?
