Online dating

Seriously now, Google/Yandex reverse image search is your friend to check if the photo is from another person. And as the adage goes - “If it's too good to be true, it probably is"

But, but, but, I think she really likes me!

LOL online dating.

With the way the world is now? Any dating of any kind, be it a website or at a bar or just shopping at any store. The only thing one should ask ones self is, what's it gonna cost. One way or another it's going to cost one something.

I'm still single today by choice. Those who know me, know that I do not follow. Surely women are wonderful, love the company and companionship of a woman. At my age I've come to realize that compromising virtues and or ones integrity isn't in my best interest.

Wait, wait, wait! So, you guys are saying THIS place is NOT a dating site?

Simply wonderful, It turns out she's / he's a retired alcoholic truck driver from Dagestan , Who sits on his a**e all day in an Internet cafe, sipping vodka and sending out scam e-mails But if you really want to reply, Set up a different e-mail account. and use it just to talk to sweetness, who after the first reply will be in love with you. If you really want to get into. The scam baiting scene check out 419 eater https://forum.419eater.com/forum/ This is a good tool if you want to trace a photo, It works the same as Google search, except it works with pictures not words https://tineye.com

A bot created by a spammer.

They’ve done that for some time on AH, and elsewhere of course, but reporting them gets them removed more quickly.

Some bots/spammers edit their posts later on to include the spam link, trying to avoid getting the boot.

I used to feel the same way about online dating—so many fake profiles and scammers that it didn’t seem worth the hassle. For a long time, I gave up on it. But recently, I decided to give it another try, and honestly, it’s been better this time around. I even came across https://tosituhma.com/ , which feels a bit more real and straightforward compared to others. It might be worth checking out if you're still dealing with all the usual nonsense.

Don't even need dating sites. I get FB friend requests from hot chicks looking for dicks like this all the time.

That's Hannah Crawl. She sent me a friend request a while back and not only thinks I'm handsome, but interesting as well. Too bad I'm married... sigh.

She wants to date you too!?

Online dating is OK. It's as good or better than the alternative. Which is meeting someone while I'm out and about or through friends. It surely ups your chances of meeting someone. Like everything else, you just need to be smart about it. It's not hard to figure out what BS. I met a girl on FB dating this weekend and I'm meeting her in person tomorrow. It turns out she works where I do, and we've been IMing today. It may or may not turn into anything, but it's at least another opportunity.

50/50 wading through BS and looking up acronyms

I just went through this in 2021. Long story short, I made myself single. Then, got dumped and found myself entering the dating pool at age 47 after an over 17 year relationship. We're talking pre-internet/cell phone world. So, opening Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge was miserable. Somehow, and I have NO IDEA how, I found my current partner. She's originally from Colombia and immigrated here in 2017. She's 11 years younger who before we met, asked; "Are you really 47? But you're 6'2" right?" It was love at first swipe. Been together now for 4 years and I can dance bachata so there's that. If you're out of shape, get in shape. Get rid of ALL your old clothes and update to a "capsule wardrobe", (EVERYONE is shallow so trust me on that one as everyone wanted the man to be taller than them in heels, earn more than them, and have hair/be in shape), either hire or ask a Gen Z to take your profile photos (see "shallow" comment), borrow a dog, hide your Star Wars boxed set, DO NOT shake hands or do anything weird like that on the first date (it outs her to the staff at her favorite coffee shop/restaurant that she's on ANOTHER date - sometimes on the same day), follow the rules for "paying" which are these options in this order: 1. initiator pays; 2. 50/50 the entire bill; 3. she covers the tip. And lastly, be honest upfront but don't expect that in return. Your standards are for you, not them or live alone. Good luck!

p.s. if that's too much, I know a guy who knows a guy that can show you around Colombia for the love of your visa....

Curious, is it a large company where she may have been where you never go?

Yeah, it's a small city.... 14.5k people.
