I've been a member of SW since its creation when EP shut down and consequently I've seen the various waves of fake female profiles that come through in clusters.
I've chatted with "women" that are clearly the same person under multiple profiles as I'm sure many others have to. So I have a question.
How many active unique real female profiles do you believe exist on SW?
@SammyJo Yeah many people have left for sure. I'm still in contact with several that I met here early on in other chat apps so even though they are no longer here we remain in touch.
I have an open mind and can talk about just about anything but I would be lying if I said it doesn't irk me when I realize that I've already chatted with the same person multiple times under different profiles.😂
There are hundreds of people who come here, stay a couple of weeks, and then lose interest. These profiles will list the last presence as 'weeks ago' whereas it may in fact be a matter of years.
@supersnipe there are but at any time you can look to see who's actively online even if they choose not to display their activity. In other words they don't have the green dot but what you will find if you look at the social and then people links is a pattern in the profiles.
@DeWayfarer That's why they never delete members. I have "active" SW friends who haven't been here in years. The more members SW can claim the more they can charge for advertising. And very few new members stay for more than a few hours.
I suspect this site like all other social media and dating sites is flooded with bot generated profiles continually, plus all the Chinese (and I guess Russian, Indian, etc) 'click farms' that manipulate social media algorithms, etc. and keep the 'fraud prevention' teams (or similar) busy trying to stem the ever-growing waves of spam.
@HootyTheNightOwl II can personally verify there are more than three since I've interacted with more than three over the years I've been here and they're still here but I don't know if there's much more than a hundred in all honesty.
not sure and i don't care. but i know who my female friends are and i think they are great human beings...i can smell an imposter a mile away and i ignore them for the most part....but cheers to all the sw ladies on here who are my friends
very few have stuck around...many are not into chatting about the favorite topics here. grateful for the handful that have stayed and will chat with me
@Theyitis I edited the text to say active female profiles I'm interested in that because they're such a wave of fake female profiles coming through which you would see if you looked at the people that are online.
@DomMan67 I feel like it’s still pretty tough to nail down a solid number. What if a user only logged on say three times in the last year? Does that count as active? Because maybe yeah, she’s been online recently, but still the vast majority of regulars on the site probably would not be aware of her.
It might be easier to get an answer to your question if you can somehow figure out how many total “active profiles” exist, and then we can estimate what percentage of those are “real” females. Just my thoughts.
@Theyitis I don't expect a definitive answer from my poll it is simply a question and I will leave it to others to determine how they want to define active.
I'm actually more interested in ithe people that are being themselves as opposed to the people that are using multiple profiles.
I take everyone at their word. I’m more interested in content than sex. All of the people I’ve interacted with in real life from here were as they said they were. Some very beautiful human beings
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow There are absolutely genuine people here. I've been in contact with some for many years even outside of this site so those people exist. Unfortunately there seems to be far more fake profiles than real ones here though.
@DomMan67 Oh absolutely. Same here. Even got a birthday present from a friend I met on EP and talked to here off and on. They are mostly doing the Facebook thing these days but yeah. I know there are real people here.
Just not sure what the percentage is. It has not been quite the same in a long time.
@OogieBoogie find me on that list. I have been on for a couple of hours now! I'm not at the top of the list because I don't have that online indicator on!
Also notice the green online indicators on the top of the list! ALL of the first page are green!
@helenS What I meant by real is a female that is being themselves and using a profile that is who they really are and not the 4th alt profile as they pretend to be someone else.
For me yes that would include her having a vagina. That is my preference but people can identify on their profile however they want.
