TPEsadist -> Weeding out the fakes (5/20/2009 3:21:00 PM)
I know that a lot people on here are sincere but the few fakes ruin it for all. I now start all responses with "I will pay for relocation if you live within the USA and I will come to your area to meet and bring you back with me." Also those with fuzzy pictures seems to be a fake. It sure stops the Ghana with USA address. Any other suggestions to help with this problem.

Be honest, ask for a phone number to call or give them yours to call you.

I'm having a great time on this site! I've made a lot of real-time friends, I've dated several women, and I've learned quite a bit. So the fakes certainly aren't ruining things for me. My "secret": I spend no time or energy on scammer profiles. As a result, I can spend all my email time and energy on people who are actively looking to meet someone. You might want to try that yourself.

Definitely hear their voice to confirm they are the gender they claim. Many, many are masquerading as the opposite sex. They often also lie about their age and use fake photos - if they look like a model's photos or very professional, there's a good chance they have stolen them. Biggest lie of all - marital status. If you're both interested in each other after a certain period of time when trust has begun to grow and they won't give you a LANDLINE number you can ring any time (within reason) you can almost guarantee they are cheating on a partner. A cam is even better. Oh and I don't think there are "a few fakes". In my years of experience online I've decided MOST of them are fakes. There's maybe 10% of people who are honest and genuine - but it's worth looking for the diamonds amongst all the liars, cheats and pretenders as there are some really good people to find online as well. Good luck.

littlewonder -> RE: Weeding out the fakes (5/20/2009 3:32:02 PM)
Why not just ignore the ones you don't feel compatible with for whatever reasons you wanna give and just move onto the next one? Seems like the easiest solution to me.

Lockit -> RE: Weeding out the fakes (5/20/2009 3:33:19 PM)
Shit... I've been exposed! I often have fuzzy pictures... well I have to cover up the haggy face somehow! Money to relocate before you know them? So glad I covered up my haggy face with fuzzy cause that is scary. But yes... I am fake. My mom said... if mother nature didn't give it to you, buy it... so... I came to CM to find someone to pay for it all... because at this fake age... I am going to need a lot! Unless some fake dom wants to help me out here...

DemonKia -> RE: Weeding out the fakes (5/20/2009 3:39:46 PM)
FR, after read thru LOL I'd suggest taking your own advice, OP (from your profile): "Also if any of this profile offends you then don't read it and keep your remarks to yourself." If stuff offends you, move on, & keep your whining & whinging to yourself . . . . . I personally find that staying in a 'positive' space, especially in the writing in one's profile, is far more productive than the negative stuff . . . . . . A large number of the poster's to these forums have excellent profile texts which display what they want, rather than dwelling on what they don't want . . . .. ..

What works for me is spraying profile picsw with weed killer and seeing what happens. If they keel over then i tend to think 'fake', if not then they are obviously 'twue'.

they do have artifical grass that wont let the weeds pop up. so perhaps we need artificial D-types and s-types to keep the fakes out...[image]http://www.collarchat.com/micons/m28.gif[/image]

ROFL!

Andalusite -> RE: Weeding out the fakes (5/20/2009 6:58:29 PM)
Most of them are pretty obvious and easy to screen out. Putting all that negativity in your profile isn't going to attract anyone who is real, or discourage any of the fakes.

quote: but the few fakes ruin it for all. Your glass is half empty! I wonder why you would let ‘a few’ unpleasant interactions on line affect you so deeply. If you are in a good mood, would you let a grouchy person ruin your day? I would hope not! quote: Any other suggestions to help with this problem. My suggestion would be that you change your way of thinking and remove the word ‘fake’ from your vocabulary. Speaking for myself, I’ve never encountered a ‘fake’. I’ve had a number of emails from folks who didn’t catch my interest or were not compatible. Some messages were offensive, some just plain stupid and some were so awful I had to laugh. But I believe real people wrote them; they just happen to be people I don’t ever want to meet.

Actually that to Me screams fake, its pretty assumptive. quote: Also those with fuzzy pictures seems to be a fake People seek a certain amount of privacy. So--define "fake"?[8\|]

You guys are completely missing the point....what the frig is the Center for Disease Control doing monitoring landline statistics? No wonder swine flu went from 'never heard of it' to 'public enemy number one world pandemic' in like 17 hours.
