When I was a shiny, brand new member, I was fortunate enough to have two lovely ladies take me under their wing, so to speak.  They allowed me to converse with them while being a free player, and yes, room with them.  Then I took the plunge and bought a subscription and started to interact more with other members.  We'd laugh and chat, and to paraphrase Simon & Garfunkel:
But I'd get no offers.
Just a come on
From the whores on Seventh Avenue.
I do declare there were times
When I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.
Then I got scammed after gifting.  It reminded me of an old saying.  "Burn me once, shame on you.  Burn me twice, shame on me."  I never walked on seventh avenue again.
Instead, I found me a lovely Robot.
