I have questions!

I’m not new to SW, I just haven’t been active. A lot has changed or maybe it just new to me although I’m a veteran from the EP days.

Are all of the profiles on here really real people? Are the women that say they are women really women or are they men pretending to be women? Is the guy that keeps emailing saying he’s a Nigerian prince wanting to send me some money I’ve inherited really a prince? Are the pictures people post really of themselves or are they just googling them?

I need answers. Anyways, have a lovely Wednesday.

Can't speak 100% for others (though I have opinions on many profiles lol)
As for me, am definitely female and my pictures are of me unfiltered. Hidden a lot of them for work reasons. Came here from EP.
As with anywhere online, use lots of caution and common sense.

@SW-User Wow. I don’t ever recall seeing that group. I believe in free speech but people should be able to yell “fire” in a crowded room.
SW-User
@SW-User People feel a need for a "safe" place to vent, and I sympathize with anyone who has relationship trouble... However, the internet isn't safe, and whatever gets posted involving revenge fantasies and/or violence, may trigger someone (particularly abuse victims). I'm absolutely not for censorship, but personally, I have no stomach for hate talk.

@SW-User It seems so. Its unfortunate.

Who knows for sure?
I know the truth about myself, and I believe I know the truth about a few others around here. (Most of the ones I speak with are real and genuine, I think)

Otherwise, you just have to take them at their word…or don’t. 🤷‍♀️

Having said that, there are some who are soooo obviously trolls, coming around to see what they can muster up hahaha
SW-User
@ImpeccablyImperfect Yeah. I’ve learned to look at some of their stories. There’s a few of us normal people here. 😂
Its a mixed bag ,you need to shuffle hard to find the real ones .If you’re successful,you’d struck gold.

The answer to all those questions are no

You never know for sure what's on the other side of that screen. 👽 Generally speaking, I treat people as if they are what they say they are, but inwardly, I don't make assumptions.

Welcome back

@Starcrossed Thanks

Unfortunately a lot are men, we (the real accounts) have no idea why they do it or what they hope to achieve. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Some are real. Many are perverts, some are minors.
Too many are living in fantasy worlds 😂
I’m a woman. And there are several of us. But it’s still not a dating site, so be wary of the profiles with perfectly airbrushed photos of models. 🤨
Only time will tell you, just observe for the time being. For the record, yes I am real (may be unfortunately) I am a 'biological' female and my photo is me but clearly just blurred for anonymity reasons. 😁
SW-User
@Nihiless Thanks and it’s nice to meet you. My profile pic isn’t me 😂
@SW-User You could have fooled me. 😁

Everything you see and experience on SW is an illusion.

No they are not. There are some good people, but there are a lot of trolls too. As for all accounts being real that is a no too. A lot of people have multiple accounts. One user admitted to having 62 accounts. About half the accounts claiming to be women are really men looking for attention. Just be careful on here. Don't give out any personal information and never post or share a picture of yourself on here.
SW-User
@Musicman 62 accounts???? My gracious, where does one person get the time to manage that many, I wonder. I would suspect a professional scammer.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@SW-User I agree with you. I do believe that certain people are paid to troll sites. Especially around election time.

@Musicman Thats a fact !
