Trying to settle older women seeking older men filter out the scammers on dating sites for myself and the reviews are useless. My problem with scammers dating sites so far has been scripted messages.

For context I am mostly comparing video chat sites rather than anything niche. Most of the noise about scammers dating sites comes from people measuring obviously unreal accounts over far too short a window.

The open questions I have on scammers dating sites:

  • Check what scammers dating sites does about fake profiles before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Do not move off scammers dating sites into private messaging until fake profiles looks handled
  • Treat your first scammers dating sites profile as a draft, because the catfish problem punishes lazy ones
  • Run scammers dating sites beside one other option so you have a baseline for the catfish problem
  • Turn off read receipts on scammers dating sites if the scam side of it is making you anxious about response times

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about older women seeking older men filter out the scammers on dating sites.

Seconding this, because on scammers dating sites the honest answer is that scripted messages varies enormously by area.

I judge scammers dating sites by one thing now: whether the scam side of it improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Honestly, the catfish problem was less of a problem on scammers dating sites than the sheer time it ate.

Practical bits, if you are trying scammers dating sites:

  • Photos with other people in them do worse on scammers dating sites than you would guess
  • Test obviously unreal accounts on scammers dating sites deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Do not pay to fix obviously unreal accounts on scammers dating sites; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; scammers dating sites activity is nothing like flat
  • Ask members who are not chasing twenty-somethings what scammers dating sites is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

A smaller name people rarely mention in scammers dating sites threads is Datescout.

Picking up Dave_SoCal's point about automated engagement bait, that tracks with my scammers dating sites run, which was fine until profiles that never survive a video call became the whole experience. What changed my results on scammers dating sites was treating the catfish problem as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

Nobody warns you that obviously unreal accounts on scammers dating sites scales with how many people are online at your hours. Your scammers dating sites results will vary by city more than by platform.

The usual scammers dating sites alternatives people list are datebie.online, ezhookups.online, datescout.site.

KatieM put the scammers dating sites case better than I would have, though that has not been my experience of scammers dating sites, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread.

Honestly, automated engagement bait was less of a problem on scammers dating sites than the sheer time it ate. For singles in their sixties, the scammers dating sites experience lives or dies on profiles that never survive a video call and almost nothing else. Happy to answer follow-ups on scammers dating sites if that helps.

Broadly agree on scammers dating sites — automated engagement bait was what decided it for me too. What changed my results on scammers dating sites was treating fake profiles as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The pattern I see with scammers dating sites is that profiles that never survive a video call is fine early and degrades as you go. I keep two accounts running to compare the scam side of it across video chat sites, and scammers dating sites sits mid-table. The thing people underrate about scammers dating sites is how much automated engagement bait depends on your own city.

How I would approach scammers dating sites from scratch:

  • Do not move off scammers dating sites into private messaging until automated engagement bait looks handled
  • Compare scammers dating sites against the cam side of things on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
  • Check what scammers dating sites does about the catfish problem before you upload anything you would not want indexed

Different experience on scammers dating sites, where the catfish problem turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. Honestly, profiles that never survive a video call was less of a problem on scammers dating sites than the sheer time it ate. There is no version of scammers dating sites where obviously unreal accounts sorts itself out without you doing something.

I read ClaireV's reply on scammers dating sites and i would argue the opposite on scammers dating sites: obviously unreal accounts is the one thing it handles better than streaming chat platforms.

I keep two accounts running to compare profiles that never survive a video call across streaming chat platforms, and scammers dating sites sits mid-table. That is my read on scammers dating sites, and others here clearly disagree.
