Like I’m not even kidding.
Out of boredom today, I thought I’d just try randomnly scrolling through profiles of women on dating sites just to see what’s out there. I still live with my parents so I’d never actually meet up with random women tho.
Anyway, here’s a list of the “free” dating sites Forbes recommended on their page https://www.forbes.com/health/l/online-dating-websites/?ref=Free_Dating_Sites&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20120222622&accountid=3758522470&utm_content=166764851687&utm_term=kwd-7312513967&network=g&device=m&placement=&location_physical=9001957&device_model=&creative=701061650139&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAowYSHrMPP9QhDvPBNBXUm2SEFeUW&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5KvS8uLViwMV7E9HAR0voiPhEAAYAiABEgLp9PD_BwE
Now to be fair, some of them were legit but others were not.
But the one called “DateMyAge” is a complete scam site. I read about it on Quora and there’s people there that said they actually lost money to being love scammed. Surprisingly several of them were actually women.
That being said tho, isn’t it an INSANE legal liability on the part of Forbes?
If one of their readers got scammed by a site Forbes recommended, couldn’t they sue Forbes for financial damages?
Anyway, I knew it was a scam within the first 3 seconds.
I didn’t even upload any photos, nor did I bother to set up a profile but within literally seconds I was getting literally a barrage of messages and videocalls of 10/10 model level women “interested” in talking to me.
I accepted one of the videocalls too just to see if it were an AI robot or something but it was an actual woman.
Either way tho, during our brief call I kept my camera turned off the entire time and she didn’t even have much issue with it. She still kept talking to me and did all this flirtatious act but let’s be real, any normal woman would’ve dipped and not been interested.
But case be told are there actually scam dating sites that employ women to scam men into talking to them through buying site credits?

The top of the first page explains everything. . . in a little font:
"We earn a commission from the offers on this page, which influences which offers are displayed and how and where the offers appear."
Oh ok. So that statement basically shields them from liability?
Its basically them saying “we’re getting paid to post this, don’t trust this for accuracy”
Yep!
Honestly, still kind of a shitty thing for them to do nonetheless.
People read their stuff because they want good information, not BS suggestions
Always suspect a profit motive when dealing with the MSM and internet sites.
Honestly its strange cuz the older I get the more I realize just how shitty people are.
It was nice being a kid and just running around outside and not even thinking about this kind of stuff
Welcome to adulthood!
Its definitely been quite a brutal reality check I must admit.
