You said if a stranger sent a pic and a request to talk off site you would think "that perhaps this woman was lonely and looking for love with a lonely man" and that's what I responded to. Saying if your automatic belief is that the individual is just a lonely woman looking for a lonely man that was naive. Where you saw me mention relationships, heartbreak, etc... or where you saw me say you were an entirely naive and optimistic I have no clue. There was a specific, clearly defined point I was responding to and you turned it into all this? Things that never even crossed my mind.

I did an accidental social experiment. (Accidental, as in I wasn't planning on doing this. It just happened.)
See my avatar? It's a stuffed animal. I change it every month, yet there are always one or more of my stuffed animals in the picture. I average about three of those PMs a month.
One month I posted a picture of me (when I was in my 40s) and some of my stuffed animals. Four of those PMs that month.
It seems to me women with avatars of them being women, (and you can even be dressed up for a costume party, and looking frightful lol), will raise the levels of those kinds of PMs.
Four in one month or three a year? Meh. In my case I don't really care. I tend to find the typical spammers amusing.
On the other hand, I would love it if for one month most of the people on this site would have a picture of the opposite gender as their avatar. I'd be curious if there was an uptick or downtick in spamming PMs.

I dunno. I've done a lot of studying over the years about how kids grow up, (wanted to be a teacher, so took the college courses, and then was writing a novel for grammar school kids, so had to see if they had changed in the last 40 years. lol) The information about how puberty happens has remained the same. Girls really are two years older in maturity than boys. I just don't know if that means boys are immature for their age or girls above mature for their age.
Good news though. You are the normal mature for your age. (Somehow this sounds like you could mistake this for an insult. I can't figure out how to fix that, so just going to say, "you're doing good. I worry about teens who are too mature for their age, or too immature. I'm not worried about you, because you seem about where you should be in your maturity.")
