I don’t get why people are surprised by this… it’s the internet. There will always be catfish and/or predators.

Even the realest of real person online is not able to reveal 100%the full pic/story, that’s difficult to accomplish even in real life. You only know anyone as much as they let you, and even then only as much as they know themselves.

Online it’s just clips/tidbits… ideas of a person… even when the people involved are being honest or “real”.

Best bet is to not take anything too seriously, and be somewhat careful 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tabulating number of fakes.

I’m only real when I feel like being real.. 😷 every other time you see me online it’s a projection of your mind slowly slipping into more and more madness.. 😷

I think there are different levels of fakes. There are bots, which are complete ai and try to drive opinion and influence over, typically, political topics. Basically, they're computers doing propaganda for governments. That's about the fakest fake because it's not even a human. Then there are profiles that are 100% life, but human. Usually lie about their age, gender, and living situations and their stories are 100% fantasy and imagination, it's a complete fabrication of a life 100% different than their own. That's also incredibly fake. Then there are people who stretch the truth or change some details. Maybe add 4 inches to their height, and lie about their weight or wealth, but for the most part, their likes, dislikes, and stories are accurate to their feelings and happened mainly in that way.

If I was going to pretend, I'd do a better job.

Fakes

Maybe 50 real

It is so much less work to simply be one's self

I'm not sure why so many people obsess over who is fake or not unless you are reaching the point of face to face meetings

There are about a million fakes on here. The ratio of fake to real is 100 to 1.

I am the genuine article. Though I will not be sharing any details anyone could use to steal my identity. So no name, birthday or mothers maiden name..

It helps to just lower your expectations from people online altogether and not be surprised if anyone isn't who they appear to be.

My profile is true. I only have 1 profile.
But I get what you are saying, many fake profiles here unfortunately.

Are you for real?? You have no problem showing yourself, and put a cartoon as a pfp??

I think I'm real. But what if I'm not?

Man, that could trigger an existential crisis.

Yeah I wouldn’t believe anyone here who I haven’t interacted with for awhile

are you saying your profile photo is really you,,

You will know gradually…

No idea, don't actually care that much.

I am a cat....

I'm real. ❤️

You are not alone let me assure you.

verify yourself then 😏

Quite a lot. 😇

Aint none of em real

Im really me

You have no problem showing yourself? Will you please send me a pic?

I try and weed them out by googling their profile pic.

there is a lot of misrepresentation here. some would say it is all just role play. but the ones that are older guys, pretending to be young girls are the worst
there are also som e girls here i think that try to photoshop thier faces, onto hot bodies,, often very obvious

welcome to the monkey house

I am one of the few real ones also.

I think only 3 of my profiles are fake, the other 9 are absolutely real, even the blonde virgin is genuine 🤔

i am genuinely myself here and elsewhere

I'm real. Would any fake claim to be a happily married old fart like me?

Heels over head (handclap), out of control..

Fake people everywhere not just here

Good question...you'd be surprised, I am sure.
