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

@Shedbuilder It’s a friendship app no dating involved at all it’s not supposed to be an option. As many of my posts have stated I’m engaged and also looking for female friends as I don’t have any. But I can imagine it happens on all these types of apps whether dating gay straight or friends

You're not at all unreasonable to be pissed off. This is a man and you specified that you were looking for women. Just block and let's hope he doesn't find a vulnerable woman who'll support his fantasies.

This is what life is like for lesbians on dating apps.

Sorry just saw you weren’t saying I was on a lesbian app just that it’s similar there Blush I just had a nap and my brain isn’t working!! Coffee for me. But I can imagine actually because how many men acting as women will be doing the same thing on lesbian apps! It’s disgusting. Lesbian dating is a woman dating a woman and the thought of this happening there too is horrible. Really horrible. Just piss taking men thinking they can fucking invade all women spaces Angry

YANBU. You made it clear you were looking for female friends. There's no limit to these men's sense of entitlement.

Better luck next time. I found it hard to make friends when I moved to different places. Joining local groups (eg environmental, hobby or community groups) turned out to be my best tactic, as that gave me something I liked to do as well as meeting compatible people.

I’d prefer the same too but lock down makes it hard as many hobby groups have to shut down. I have tried but I’ll have another look as it isn’t as strict atm in Paris
