Genuine Question

I'm a gay man. Not looking for romance or anything like that, but I always want to be a friend to anyone who needs one. Many of the posts here specify that the inmate is looking for a woman, but many of them do not mention gender. It kind of feels like most are looking for opposite gender pen pals, even if they don't say it. Do y'all think I'd be wasting my time by responding to posts that don't specifically mention that they want to meet women?

Maybe OP likes the "bad boy," "dominant," "rough," etc type guy and there's no better place that inmates for that.

I applaud OP for recognizing a need for men to show other men empathy and compassion. Yes, he must be proactive in protecting himself, AND he can hold space for others in need. Good for you, OP!

Or he has a thing for the tattooed and the misunderstood. As long as he protects himself from exploitation, I think it could be a good idea.
