The female scammers are a bit more subtle (or is it men posing as women online). One thing that gets my suspicions is the classic "too good to be real". But I go along. Still I check the photo via Google. Finding the same photo online, and especially tied to a model or otherwise "public" person is an immediate red flag. And then she's allegedly in a jam (tops was a so called UNICEF worker in Africa who's sick all of a sudden and needs money for food and medicine - seen that twice). The newest one has been Craiglist, where the person wants to "verify my identity" by going to a site like Craigdate (or whatever it's called now) that allegedly is free (so why is it asking for a credit card number?) that turns out to be a front for a pornography website (I didn't get suckered into that one, I found that info on a scam-buster website).
At which point my response is "Game over. Thank you for playing".

I am not on a dating site so my understanding of your story is based upon what you and others have written. I do agree with you, an opening of "Hello Pretty" or any other familiarity speaks of immaturity or lack of social skills. It implies that you are desperate and easy, at least in their minds.
If you have been communicating for awhile then I think that familiarity is OK even expected.
@Danez4u speculated that they maybe 3rd world scammers. That is not a far fetched theory as there are many reports of criminal gangs targeting dating sites, preying on the lonely.
I have noticed a pattern in your stories. The rudest at least thoughtful responses are from the 25 and under males. They appear to be devoid of empathy and critical thought processes, lacking in meaningful experiences that would provide them insight relative to your story. Not all of them but way too many.

@Stephen0896: He is that, but it's not enough by itself. I'm not one dimensional you know.

@abe182: Abe, I don't wish to seem harsh, but if a man is timid, he's not for me. I'm attracted to confident men. Confidence and compassion. Strength and kindness. Rugged and sweet. Sexy and with a pure heart. Mysterious and yet open and honest. Oh, this needs to go on my profile. ☺️

@Danez4u: Right. They all sound so similar, and I've had three like that since I wrote this post.

You're just ungrateful because you've received hundreds of suitors in your life just because men have a higher sex drive than women. You think you're god's gift to men and deserve the 10/10 best man.
