Why are there so many fake profiles here?

I mean…what’s the point?!?!🙄
I’ve seriously considered blocking all of the fake, dubious and alt accounts 😡

But then there wouldn’t be anyone left for me to chat with 😕

And to potentially befriend 🥺

And then eventually meet up and have a coffee and rant to about all those fake people on SW 🤓

Have you been on ep? Can't remember the nick of that person who made up an entire family. Real hard work to think up all those fake accounts and write so many stories. I saw it as a piece of art. Said person had clearly too much time on it's hands to create such.

@Rickichickie I was, just before it closed down.
And no, that wasn’t me. I’m not that brilliant, or have that much time on my hands, sorry.

@Ghostinthemachine I was there for six years and it really taught me something about humanity. I had great chats with what I thought were fakes but took it all with a grain of salt, so no harm done.

@Rickichickie that’s a positive way of looking at it. I’ve learned a lot too, about people, and myself. I think learning new things is a good thing

@Ghostinthemachine it definitely is but also frightening at times.
What I've learned about some sexual practices, whish I could erase it from my memory...

@Rickichickie I guess that’s the chance you take with a place like this, anytime you open yourself up to meeting new people anonymously, unfortunately

I’m sorry that happened to you

@Ghostinthemachine it made me realise what a sheltered life I lived.

@Rickichickie I think there are always going to be people with more fantastic experiences. You have to ask yourself if that is what you want. If so, ask yourself how do you make that happen

@Ghostinthemachine what I've meant is that some people do unimaginable things, don't want to go into detail

@Rickichickie say no more 🤐
