I don’t know why I’m learning so much about fake accounts, but Americans needing to date a supermodel picture off the Twitter feed must be easy pickings!

I’ve been putting up with these scammers, asking them if English is their 2nd language and saying all sorts of dumb sh++ to them in the DMs.

I like it most when they answer a question with a question

But I go hard. I follow supermodel photos off Twitter and they’re all bogus.

My polish friend on OKCupid asked me for 50 euros yesterday.

I reported it to OKCupid and deleted my WhatsApp.

There’s no reason to WhatsApp when the Tinder App is just fine.

My first convo on Tinder!

I met a real person today… I think.

She said she did not want to drive three hours to see me.

I’m going to have to learn how to use the preferences and make sure the mileage is closer to home.

I think these apps mess with your preferences when you’re not looking.

One Twitter account was threatening me with the worst English

Something about chicken, my mother (Gawd bless her soul!), and giving birth to pork and then the avatar saying he/she was going to kill me!

I really doubt that.

You can’t reach through a laptop screen.

And then I get to report him or her for that kind of language over the Twitter sphere.

Shame on you!

But I’m sure I’ll stop messing with these losers who are depending on 50 euros in their desolate third world country. Crazy.

Bad habits die hard so I can understand why people do it.

People are gullible!

They’re lonely AF!

And now they’re finally getting the attention and the validation they crave from a s+++head criminal online!

It’s called Catfishing

These two guys did a whole show about it and I’m surprised to be experiencing it now after watching more than one episode of that.

But I guess they just ask you for money and expect you to give it to them because you are long distance gf and bf, now.

But I’m not that traditional.

I’m looking for the real reals

Cutting through this BS like a machete does in the jungle.

I will prevail

I will find someone DTF! Look it up on the Googles if you don’t know what that means.
