Signed up to plenty of fish again. As usual I get the most comments from guys that only want sex. I feel very vurnerable on that site. At least I didnt show my face.

Is it worth staying on a site like that?

Hope you find a nice guy to meet you for coffee or something. There are nice guys out there. They're apparently not well-represented on dating sites, though. I've had better luck with OKC than POF.

Okay, so I am acknowledging that I'm older, therefore my response may be antiquated.

If you knew for sure why each person who responds to your profile was on the dating app, it would be easier. I can definitely see the reason an ASD individual would prefer the buffer of a computer as a means of introduction. But, many of these people could just be lazy or hiding something (like a wife/husband). If they are NT and super busy, that's one thing. No time left over after a long day to meet someone...

However, some could have a whole life off site and just be looking to 'hook up.' So, it would prove almost impossible to know the intentions and motivations of a potential 'date' on these sites.

I wish I knew better what to say, I don't. I'm a mother and a grandmother, so all I'm seeing is the potential for 'abduction.' Please, be careful.
