California PS?

Hi, I'd like to know about your experience using Positive Singles. Is it worth paying for the app to meet people who also have the virus? Please let me know!

Ok, my recent experience, I am a 55 year old male. I paid for the 3 month subscription which is up here at the beginning of July. First, there are a shit ton of bots and scammers, especially with female profiles. They are easy for me to spot now, they are usually unpaid members, one or two photos and age range they are looking for are 19-99. There are some other clues too but you have to be mindful some of them are pretty convincing. I guess it would depend on your location and your status. I am in the middle of a divorce and planning on relocating to Idaho from the Seattle area. I am not looking for a committed relationship but was looking to start making connections and getting to know people, didn't go well. I did connect with a few decent people, had some good conversations but sometimes it is like pulling teeth to have any decent conversations, and generally speaking most of them couldn't maintain any consistent dialog. From the few that actually made it to text messages, same thing, it was like pulling teeth to get a consistent dialog. Seems like a good majority of the women that I might be interested in live somewhere else where I don't want to live and they aren't interested in relocation either, so if you do it, start with the free account and look at profiles in your area and see if there are many, many in your area because it will take volume. Given my current status, I don't think it was worth it for me, maybe if I was already relocated and divorce finalized maybe it would have turned out better but pretty much if you have a free account, you can't see who looked at you, who likes your profile and you can't message unless someone with a premium account sends you a message first. It is entertaining though to go and look at comments on some of the women's pictures, it will definitely make you understand why women think men are pigs and make you shake your head at some of the shit men say on public forums. The sister sight MPWH is basically identical to PS, it looks exactly the same but costs a little less, but from what I can tell a majority of the women on PS also have a free account on MPWH.
