So I am replicating it here:

> Timmy,
> I know I'm very nieve in the belief of the goodness and kindness of people, generally. I don't like lying and hate to deceive. I live alone and am lonely. I want and need friends that I can be honest and real with and still be friends. I've gone on sites and been honest and not pretend I'm someone other than I say I am. But because I'm a senior and was honest, I was never even acknowledged. Just because I'm older and don't have the body or tone of a 25 year old, I'm out of the loop. I don't want to lie or make up a disguise just to get attention. I just want to be honest and have people care enough as one human being to another to get to know me - the real me with no games. But our community seems to be locked into looks, sexuality not the person. Maybe, just maybe, if people got to know someone and what they are really like (not perfect, make honest mistakes because of not understanding or not experienced), that they are really loving, kind, caring people, they just might find someone they could really care about. Beauty doesn't last but character, honesty, kindness and caring does last. And I will be the first one to admit that when I was in that late teen - young person era, I too was at fault for doing that same thing with someone older. Now I am that older person and now I know how they felt. It's too late for me but you young guys: think of the quality of a person. If it is truly wrapped in beauty and sexiness all the better. But if it is not in the top twenty or so but is absolutely honest, kind, caring and loving, don't let that get away from you because that will last after the beauty is gone. And when you're honest and real and up front with others, you don't have to remember what you said the last time to cover your real self up. You've heard the saying, "payback is a bitch". Well I'll tell you that older and lonely is a real hell. Bless you all.
