I'm pretty glad they took on those sites but at the same time any guy looking at this shit with a brain will see they're all scam sites to begin with. The paranoid side of me wonders as well whether these 'stories' you saw on news sites an so on weren't in fact promoted ads for these sorts of dating sites to give it some sort of air of legitimacy.

Did you guys ever see them? They weren't that common but I did see them going "Oh dating sites aren't normally viewed as a great idea but it worked out fantastically well for us!". I don't blame anyone at all for considering it as an option I won't lie I've been tempted but again, the moment you use your brain and do you research it all looks shady as fuck.

These businesses are just like Thots and they're taking advantage of needy and desperate guys who keep feeding their existence.

As someone who uses dating apps and sites, I always thought It was common knowledge that these were schemes to get you to pay for an upgrade to whatever service you were using. For me, it was always very obvious when I got a message from a scammer, they would either have very minimal profiles or try to link you to another site requiring payment.

But I've always felt these types of scammers, ads and emails preyed on people who havent had much luck when it comes to dating. So I'm glad something is being done about it. There's no telling how much profit they make from these dating schemes or how much scammers make from vulnerable people.
