I confess that it's so ridiculous to just afford basic living costs these days let alone hope to have enough to put into savings that my partner and I have on multiple occasions considered the idea of honestly pimping out my voice or selling pics but we never have because we have been too lazy with actually trying to set that kind of stuff up on top of the fact that we realize those type of things while popular and had proven to make money they aren't exactly the most reliable since sales of any sort always rely on a good deal of luck to actually start up regardless of quality and effort involved. Of course the thought of doing me such a thing never really bothered either of us that much but it's still ridiculous that we've actually had such conversations in a serious manner as an option to cover basic bills.

I'd say that it isn't necessarily about the pick up lines or "witty banter", it's more about a sense of humour and different people have a different sense of humour. It's basically if you're a guy and you can make a woman laugh consistently, there's a good chance she'll like you. That's the way it has been for me and I'm someone who thinks everything is okay to joke about and irl I practically have no filter. In fact, if I'm interested in someone, I will make messed up jokes on purpose to test if they're even compatible with me.

Getting absolutely bombarded by bots with the friend requests lately. Getting out of hand XD https://media1.tenor.com/m/YVh75_Jav18AAAAd/robot-attack-saturday-night-live.gif

Welcome to MO. I'd say desktop is better. You're not too old. Personally I'd say this site is better for making friends than as a dating site due to it being a niche field and worldwide. I personally don't find many people that live near me. With that said, I do like what the site offers and hope to see it grow.
