There are always going to be pros and cons to online dating and until all dating sites get a fool proof system to weed out spammers, trollers and fakers, sometimes you will end up being drawn in by someone that isn’t “real”. Want to avoid the “spam-bots” and find real women? Keep reading and gain a more discerning eye for your online dating life.

 

 

Why are there scammers pretending to be women on dating sites?

 

Statistically speaking, there is usually way more men on dating sites than women, the numbers vary from website to site but overall there is always more men. This means that some people with bad intentions will sign up and create multiple fake female profiles in order to attract a high volume of men.

Why? Different reasons, often it’s to sell them something or draw them away from the current site and onto a pay dating site. In the news recently a mother daughter tag team were prosecuted for lying to different men with the purpose of convincing them to send them money. All this being said, if you choose a reputable online dating site (like Passionsearch) you may never run into this problem. Just in case though, here are some sure signs of fake profiles.

 

Fake online female sign 1: The girl is model hot.

 

 

Let’s face it, most women who are doing online dating aren’t models, that’s not to say that they’re not beautiful, but they don’t usually post professional modeling photos like the one above. If a woman approaches you and she has a photo like this…be a little bit suspicious.

 

Want to know if she’s for real?

 

Ask her if she has any more candid photos, you can be honest, say she looks almost too good to be true. If she’s a real person, she’ll most likely oblige, if she’s not, she’ll stop talking to you or act insulted. Also, beauty fades but stupid is forever, so even if she is real, if she takes up this sort of attitude with you, she’s not worth it.

Fake online female sign 2: She talks like your grandmother.

 

 

Women born after 1980 don’t usually use phrases like “hi hun” or say “thank you God bless” at the end of every message, but spam-bots do. Most real women have mastered the art of contractions and don’t always have to say “I am” instead of “I’m”. Seriously, unless someone admits that English isn’t their first language, if they seem overly polite in their messages, they might be a faker.

Want to know if she’s for real?

 

Try responding to her e-mail with a very direct question like, “where do you live, did it rain there today? If they can’t give you a straight answer, they are most likely a spam-bot of some kind.

 

Fake online female sign 3: She wants something from you.

 

 

If you’re talking to a woman online and have just a few conversations (or many but never meet) and they start coming up with preposterous stories for why you should give them money (or change dating sites) chances are they’re a scam artist or using illegal tactics to bring you over to a different matchmaking site.

Want to know if she’s for real?

Say “sure I’ll lend you the money/switch dating sites, but only if we meet in person first”. If they’re a scam artist, they’ll most likely vanish faster than a fart in the wind, or make up multiple lame excuses for why they can’t meet.

How to meet REAL women online.

 

 

There’s a very simple trick to meeting women online, it’s called reading their profile and messaging them. Most real women online get multiple messages a day from men, so they very rarely have to look for men, they just let them come to them.

So, if you want to meet a woman, you’re going to have to approach her. Start by browsing the personals and look for a girl with a candid photo, not a modelling shot. Read her profile, does she talking in an easy way about herself, are her interests varied and similar to your own? If so, send her a message, make sure to mention something about what she wrote, not just how she looks.

At the end of the day…it’s all about instinct and honesty.

If you’re chatting with a woman and you get a funny feeling that she’s not who she says she is, be honest and say you’re getting a funny vibe. Just like in real life, people who lie online often become defensive instead of reassuring, so if she goes on the attack, you know to avoid her in the future. Also, if you think someone is working a scam, go ahead and report them to the dating site, all sites want to know if someone is using their system for something other than online dating.

Stay safe and good luck out there in the dating world!
