There are fake profiles and prostitutes. Which wasn’t always a thing. The fake profiles are easy to spot though cause there’s always only 1 pic in there profile and it’s usually a professional modeling pic and the chick is a fucking 11. They’re clear as day. I really don’t feel like there’s many. Maybe 10% of the accounts at most.
The hookers straight up advertise on there so there’s no missing them either.
I’ve never had anyone try to scam me. Probably because there’s enough dumb shit guys out there that are falling for the fake profiles and contacting them.
Like aphextwin said, there are a lot of wildebeests on there. And they’ll use every trick in the book to take a better pic. From angle, to filters, to not showing absolutely anything below the neck, all the way to using a pic that’s a decade old. So that’s something you gotta investigate for yourself if you start talking to one you’re suspect of.
As far as single moms go… I’ll be 40 next month, most women within my dating age bracket have kids. It just is what it is. There are a small percentage that don’t. But the vast majority do.
