Today, I was so desperate for any kind of male romantic attention that I googled "prison pen pals", and I'm considering writing to one. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my parents told me that they received a letter from a prison. Being curious they opened it up and read the entire thing. It was from this girl I randomly met. Now I have a prison stalker and my parents think I date felons. FML
Today, I hired somebody to send me love letters. I'm that lonely. FML
Today, I felt so lonely that I went on an online chat website and pretended to be a girl just so someone would talk to me. FML
Today, I decided to try something new and sign up for an online dating service, since I can't meet a decent guy in person. The first guy I talked to told me he used to be in a mental hospital for obsessing over a girl, then told me he would be dreaming of me that night. FML
Today, I'm so lonely, I wrote my number on a desk at my university, hoping someone would text me. FML
Today, I was so desperate for someone to talk to I called various restaurants pretending to be interested in ordering food, just so I could have a conversation. I called eleven different places. FML
Today, I was so desperate for a friend that I posted a Craigslist ad to find one. Now my phone's filled with spam and I still don't have any friends. FML
Today, I found out that my daughter's "pen pal" is really a 58-year-old man in prison. FML
Today, I was so desperate for human interaction that I asked a deaf girl in my class if she liked music. I actually signed it to her. FML
Today, my college roomate and I received our first pieces of mail. We were very excited because our mailbox wasn't empty anymore. She got a package of home baked cookies in the mail from her family. I got a letter from a stranger in prison. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's a shame that all the good ones are locked up.

A "pen pal" who is in the penitentiary. Not a good choice OP.

Why not pen pal a soldier overseas instead?

Soldiers could use it more than someone who's locked up

Not really - soldiers get time to go and see their family/friends, plus most have Internet to Skype, etc! Some prisoners are isolated 24 hours a day with no company at all. Solitary confinement was used as a torture method in WW2 and is truly awful.

True we do get all that now, but sometimes getting an old fashioned letter can be more endearing while you're overseas.

There is a HUGE difference between soldiers & prisoners of war versus convicts. Seriously, convicts who are isolated 23 hours out of each day put themselves in that situation by being a potentially lethal danger to those around them.

I have respect for people in the army, but they put themselves in that situation of being away from family and friends, and risking their lives also. They had a choice an they decided they wanted to join the army, so they are isolated because of their decision.

Service men & women are isolated for making a morally sound decision to live an honorable life protecting others' freedoms and rights. Convicts are isolated for making immoral decisions and leading a dishonorable life risking others' freedoms and rights. Again, huge difference.

127-It's somewhat ironic that soldiers got themselves in their situation to try to be just the same sort of threat, for the good reasons of course but I like the humor in it.

Veterans' groups are good for meeting guys. Veterans' hospitals are a great choice for pen-pals; friends and family all too often drift away from the long(er)-disabled vets, so contact is most welcome.

That's not a bad thing. It'd be like visiting them-I'm sure the guy you write to needed a normal human contact to stay on track away from whatever put him in there.

All the ones in prison have already turned to the dark side. They aren't attracted to women. Sorry!
