So I joined a few dating sites.... and I'm thinking what kind of scammy shit is this?
I've never really understood the hoopla over dating programs and sites, so I decided to join a few myself late last nite after work and see what the end user goes through. Registration is fairly easy and straightforward, homer simpson or some dumbass like shimmy can figure it out... then here's what happened
1. Once confirmed (i'm not shitting you) inside of about 5 minutes I start getting yahoo messenger bot spam. Ymail somehow integrated messenger into the inbox recently I guess. And it kept continuing on and on until I set it to ignore.
2. I create a profile and damn near instantly get 5 lengthy canned messages from 'hotties' that want to meet me (upgrade to paid membership to view pics too hahaha nice) only problem here is I recognize the girls because i bought the same damn content many years back. they could have at least grained and darkened the pics to make them look legit. what a fucking ripoff
3. It gets even better. I use the zip code search feature to search for girls in a 10 mile radius of me, which shouldn't be so hard as there is a big college down the street, and about 75% of the search results share the same text in the profile about how they're flight attendants and shit and travel everywhere yadayada. I used that same promo sales pitch back when I was pushing pussycash programs a few years ago when they actually converted worth a shit.
How much is the surfer gonna take before he realizes he's being fleeced with fake profiles, pics, and stories? No guy in their right might is going to believe all these "i'm interested in you saw your profile" type of emails when they are sent out within a few minutes/hours of you joining. I know people talk a lot of shit about AFF but I at least know the shit works in the real world because my old roomate this jamaican chick used it to meet crazy dudes all the time. I just have to say I'm skeptical about promoting any of them at this point for the lack of realism. Might go back to promoting hotlocalescorts because they paid well years ago and were more real. Just don't want to back something I don't really believe in, or something I wouldn't join myself ya know?
