I also would like to add my experience on detecting a scam. Hope there is no dupes.

1) Too good to be true. Like suddenly this hot girl very nice to you, try to talk you. Well, when have this, firstly i think better be realistic and ask yourself whether your profile could attract those type of girl. Further, screenshot their profile picture and do a google image search in google as well as china equivalent google for image search too.

2) if you somehow think that you got chance for this hot girl, try give her a week and see how... Their SOP is unleash their product (eg. bitcoin platform) around 4-5 days..

3) instagram girl or FB girl who wants followers, usually dont talk or their profile description usually put their IG (their IG sometime has 50 post but mre than 1,000 followers) or FB and not active. TBH, i dunno whether this is consider a scam, but i feel shouldnt waste time on this kind... Unless you are rich or you damn handsome, or both..

To protect yourself, if lets say too sudden, like want to hang immediately, suggest you tell your friend where you heading, and propose a place that is crowded.

And another step to further protect yourself and not wasting time which I DONT RECOMMENDED AT ALL, stalk the shit out of the person to ensure he/she is single , legit and not a catfish. A google search, including linkedin fb instagram twitter would do.

recently there was one tinder girl written she's looking for a tall and buff guy simping for her rclxm9.gif
they can be bored, but yourself cant be bored. Because you're the one who's chasing them 'initially', you've to do most of the work (texting, logistics etc)
my favourite line's, ''what are you looking for here?''
always screen out time wasters.

so based on your experience, those answer they gave means what usually? can share?

if they write, ''nothing much'', its basically waste of your time
ive tried maintain a few video call during previous mco, at the end she isn't willing to come out

if they write, ''friends'', at least you've a chance

if they write, ''awesome...i like your (the thing your replied/written in your bio'', its obviously a green light.

i dont understand the last one... what are you doing here? and they reply with awesome? XD

For me, if they say friend, is like telling me she is up for anything, and is depend on your skill or how thich is you wallet... hahahaha

Thanks for the advise, there are so many love scammers nowadays, heard the stories, the reason why I'm so afraid to use this tinder.

What if me & her already contacted via whatsapp (that tinder messaging on IOS is so lag if both typing so fast and prompt for video call LoL) and already made a phone call, looks legit, but I'm curious she is like Hong Kong Modelling  biggrin.gif  lot of pictures (Yes she is in Hong Kong but used to travel here before covid era)
Hopefully in the end, not making any excuse to transfer some money to her... that's definitely a scam, let's see how it goes, so scared nowadays but have to be brave and outsmart them

Edited:
Want to ask, how is the location detected at user's profile works, like 80KM away, is it real time when they move to other place? and what if they are using the emulator

just forget about tinder la... tinder now full of scammers (if too good to be true, if u know whaat i mean?) rolleyes.gif

same goes to tantan...

i think can consider bumble, bumble so far havent meet any scammer yet... same goes to cmb.

to all the users here, just wan to ask... have you ever skipped 1-2 days didnt reply the person or end the conversation first thereafter msg 1-2 days later? I notice if skip even 1 day, the feeling toward the person can be different already...

i seen some dating advice from youtube is like, they said no need to message everyday, quality > quantity. But this method didnt specifically say is for the person you have met or for online dating.

Logically speaking, i feel is OK to text once a while when you met some one randomly, but in dating app, somehow must keep the conversation going and not skipping 1-2 days only reply.

Hope you can understand where i m coming from....

why skip one day your feeling can be different? i thought your original intention is to meet up with somebody?
for guys, its quantity over quality, you can't tell the quality unless you slept with them and spend more time together.
girls can be more choosy because they're gatekeeper of sex. You could afford to be choosier as a guy if you have achieved certain level of threshold.
personally, i don't text every single day, maybe i will follow up once of 2-3 days if she hasn't replied.
*
Because matches coming in every day. Hard to stay focus on one. I m a not pro that can chat with multiple women yet still can maintain the flow/conversation, what ever you call it. Is like once I find this new match interesting, I put the rest aside first. Then once my core match not unavailable, I will go back to those that I have put aside. Then again, the feeling sometime is no longer there… maybe I m a beginner.
Hence, sometimes 1-2 days or just late reply. Btw, I don’t think I m a player/jerk, cause I believe girl does that too…

I'm beginning to realise that apps that impose time limit aren't quite for me. I reply about once a day, usually going off grid until night when I finally pick up my phone after work.

I get what you mean by different feeling -- I have a feeling (ayy punny) I'm coming off as uninterested because I hardly reply immediately. On CMB, there were several exchanges that felt okay but they usually just expire and none bothered to extend. I don't, because I didn't feel connected enough to bother - it didn't seem they were trying harder (short replies) although I gave long replies (my way of "atoning" for my lack of reply frequency haha).

On the contrary, say, FB dating, I was allowed to focus irl and get to my messages later, and the chats don't expire. The problem here is that the online exchange gets really long (read: weeks). To me, I take that as advantage because then we get to connect longer to a point it's comfortable for me to ask, "helloooo when are we meeting?"

I think it's a matter of preference; most guys who asked for my phone number or meet me on first exchange, ended up immediately ghosting/blocking me when I refused. They don't need to waste time on me, I don't need to risk my own comfort.

"Agree to disagree, have a nice day" kind of thing, I guess.

What do you mean by off grid? Means you:
1) logout from the app?
2) just read the msg that you receive and reply later
3) Didn’t bother about the app , just leave the notification there only

i feel it make you standout abit lah, but having said that, your profile does matters... like whether your profile suit her taste or not ... cause sometimes, the girl didnt have a chance to swipe when every time she swipe sure match. haha

also, once you know a person likes you, it is much easier to determine whether you want to proceed to have a chat with that person or not... simple as that.

Before chat expire in cmb, common chat method is go into Instagram. Only when both sides is comfortable then only exchange in phone number.

Might be slow but not wrong taking one step at a time.

er sir... is instagram the popular way of exchange contact right now? i thought fb or whatsapp aka phone number je? maybe telegram/wechat if uncomfortable to disclose further personal details... but instagram... really?


i m so outdated

i just created a new tinder account to check out.... walow, i didnt know tinder now is the place to flaunt instagram or to show off their sexiness. damn... where are all the normal wimmin?

all the wimmins in tinder is like instagram girl quality wei.. hahaha... and i m just a 5/10 guy in reality, although sometimes i feel like i can be 7/8 when i dress properly.. laugh.gif

bumble was, well... kinda slow and , damn.. they now changed advanced filter to pay to use, last time can use 2 filters...

facebook dating app not too bad, at least more normal wimmin...
