Catfish and Fake posters

[ck30101]

Which pics because here she admits that she has posted fake pics?

It was her current look, the same as her AV

Unless they send me a pic with my initials written on their tits with a red permanent marker they are all fakes and catfish... There I said it.. now prove me wrong

I'm not falling for that... again.

I had an odd experience here. I had a woman PM me. Not too odd, since I posted a personal, but she used some strange English in her messages. Well.,there are a lot of non-natives here, so whatever.
She wanted to go right to Google Chat. Ok.
Her questions were of the ChatGPT variety. Talked about her "dreams and wishes" and complimented me on everything.
Too good to be true.
She immediately wanted to go on video. We did, because at this point, I am intrigued but in the wrong way.
She is indeed a woman and very beautiful. Her Russian accent is prominent and she insists she is French.
Yeah, okay.
She needs to get off quickly but wanted to "prove" she was real.
Either she was great AI or she was a Russian scammer/slave with a gun to her head.
Whichever it was, I ended it then and there.

Sometimes it makes me sad when I see the "personals" from clearly fake profiles ("I'm a horny bi-21 year old female who needs a daddy"). Sad because I see people responding who either don't realize theyre fake because they're idiots or are so desperate for affection and attention, they'll aim for anything. And that's sad, in a way.

Why, though? Why would you do that? Is it important?

Maybe I'm the weirdo who only allows people I know into my more personal space.

Question for all the men: do you check out profiles and previous posts before engaging someone, or soon after?

Ken...paid "Karen"...to do this. He paid her to create videos for the guys who were sending videos of them wanking off saying her name....but she never got them. It was fodder for Ken...who liked guys.

Not all women are as honest as you. I would have videoed with you...and my gut said you would have too with me. But you were honest about our differences...and they were a red line for me. I respect you greatly because of your honesty. I wish our differences wouldn't have mattered to me. But they did...and still do. Still...I can give respect where respect is due.

I'm not a man, but I do and there is a very clear pattern of man who responds to EVERY post by a very obvious bot. I also avoid ones who leave a virtual snail trail of drool on every post that may or may not be a female poster ("oh baby, I'd make you so wet" if someone posts a picture. Gross). Someone's post history is critical.

leave a virtual snail trail of drool

I swear its a medical condition

may or may not be a female poster

I am sure at least one of my ALTs is female.. she goes by Wanda aka @Wand3rlust

I don't usually check profiles, because I'm not here for sex. If I start getting to know someone I will, just to see if they have boundaries I need to respect posted.

But I ALWAYS watch a poster before I'll engage. Even just to make a silly joke. If I quote or respond to you it's because I've seen a bunch of your posts (and nowadays reactions) first to judge both if I find you real, likable enough to post with, and how hard you might hit me for my screwed up sense of humor.

I don't engage spontaneously. That way lies madness.

It's interesting to me that I used to be accused of not being real because I don't share pics (part of my arrangement with Hubby about being on Lit), but now it seems that the profiles who share too much too soon are seen as the suspicious ones. And I have to admit I feel the same way. Like I wrote above, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I am very suspicious of posters who present as women and yet share face pics from the start.

And I know how easy it is to generate an AI profile pic people will think is real. I tried my hand at creating an AI avatar to give a better representation of what I look like (it ended up looking like I had a better looking and braver sibling ). But even though I posted in my profile that it was AI, some people still though it was real. That is one reason I removed it. The other was that it was an uncanny valley moment for me every time I saw my own avatar.

And this right here is the green flag.
It's how I've handled all of my lit relationships.

Desperate people will always be desperate and not honest with who they're talking to. Some post histories are just....lady boner killers. So I look early to make sure.

Interesting.
I also think there's a difference in this whole bot thing for those of us who have been around a long time (this isn't my first time here, just a new version of me, so I've seen A LOT) and how the bot thing has just been a tsunami the last few years.

I know what you mean. I have been on Lit for fifteen years now, and I have never seen as many posters who just seem to be bots and/or scammers.

lady boner

Yeah ladies with boners is exactly what I am trying to avoid here...
please send those to my ALT @OldDirtyAltGuy for pre-screening!

but also, sad people who fall for it. I think that's the biggest change for me. I've been here a long time and there's just a core group that's here for friendship. Sometimes it turns into more. There's an increasingly large group that's just...pervy? And I know it's a sex site so pervy in a bad way.

The bots have been on Lit for decades. Started on the GB. Went to the Politics Board when it was created. Now...it is everywhere. I bitched and bitched to Laurel and mods...they both said the same thing. Reality...when a website is designed to make money on "posts"...those that matter don't give a fuck if it is a real person or a fake person. Look...this isn't unique to Lit. 80-90% of ALL online posts are generated...not real. It is difficult to get real numbers cause it is morphing so fast. Yet it all could go away today if Lit tracked IP addresses or asked for a credit card. So since none of you are willing to do those things....you get what you have.

creepy older uncle vibes. That sums it up I think.

no I think since the rise of onlyfans (har har that's punny), it's gotten way worse.

This is a respectful and holy thread and you consistently desecrate it.

Fucking meanie

I go to Google Chat for voice and/or video. That is how I like to get to know a person. I am from the phone generation.
And women like my voice. It helps the process.

I don't remember you from the GB...or the Political forum.

You we couldn’t remember this profile from anywhere. And I know better than to go to the politics board. Cesspools are better.
