I have been on this site for about 2 days. In those 2 days I had two women try to pull some kind of scam on me. One asked me to add her on Skype and came on very fast (with the question "are you horny")seemingly trying to get me on some kind of webcam sex site. I gave a girl my number who messaged me and she also comes on strong and asks me to pay for some kind of service thing. Then I have an Eastern European woman who seems to just be some kind of mail order bride type looking to just get an American green card.
In this entire time I have actually only talked to ONE real woman. Although, it is good that I talked to one real person I kind of get the feeling that I am making a mistake by being on here.
I came on this site to search for love, it is something that seems to be hard to find. But most of what I have seen on this website is people just trying to blatantly scam me.
Honestly, am I just having a bad initial experience here or is it truly this dismal?
