online profileAdult dating sites are known for being a great way to meet people but they’re also known for having lots of scammers on them. You don’t want to waste time replying to fake profiles use these tips and take your time when reading an online profile. By doing that you can get a better idea of which online profiles are real and which ones are fake.

 

1) They only have 1 picture
Most adult dating sites allow you to upload numerous pictures as well as send them to other users. If someone only has a profile picture and nothing else then it may be for privacy reasons or it may be because they’re using a stolen picture and don’t have any others that match up to the first one Send them a picture of yourself and ask if they want to Skype. Tell them it’s so both of you can know you’re talking to someone who’s real. If they decline ask why and see if the reason is genuine or not.

2) They only have a bit of information
A fake online profile will just have the basic information filled out because they want to do things quickly so they can focus on scamming those who reply to them. A real profile will be filled out because the person will be taking it seriously so they can meet someone they like

fake profile3) They promote another site
A lot of fake profiles, usually women, will tease men with sexy pictures then when he wants to take things further they’ll send him a link to another site where they want to continue things. They’re only doing this so you’ll sign up to a membership site which will cost you. Stick to the site you’re using and don’t click on any links.

4) They keep messages short
A fake profile will send short messages because all they care about is stringing you along until you fall for whatever scam they’re doing. They’ll give you just enough to stop you from losing interest and the more time you spend on them the less likely you’ll be to cut off contact because you feel invested in the relationship.

5) They’re only interested in sex
Adult dating sites are usually for people to meet for sex but most people want to get to know someone before taking things to that level. If the person you’re talking to is only interested in sex and doesn’t care about who you are or you’re interests then you should ask yourself why. Is this the type of person you’d meet in real life or is this person too good to be true?

6) They send vague messages
Someone using a fake profile will send vague messages so they can re-send them to different people. In your message ask a specific question and see if they answer it or not. Also see i they mention anything specific to you like mention something from your profile. If they didn’t then it might be because they didn’t bother reading it.

7) They agree with everything you say
Be wary of someone who agrees with everything you say. People have different interests and are looking for different things so it’s unlikely that they’ll like every single thing that you do. Ask what they’re into and see if they can come up with their own answers. If they repeat things that you’ve said then think about why they’re saying anything they can to make you think they’re perfect for you.
