You won't know. There's no sort of verification here.
There has been, at times, a fair amount of catfishing going on here. Usually it's people pretending to be 18-21 F and "borrowing" photos of some attractive woman from some other website.
But someone could create a new account to catfish you. Or you could be a catfish. There is no certainty.
I think depending solely on the online world for friends and socialization isn't a great idea. But you can socialize to some extent here. On here it's probably best to stick to harmless topics like music and movies and favorite kinds of food.
