Romance scams... they're not just for women.

Met a guy on a gay dating site last month. We shifted over to Telegram because he is "an American dentist on an international contract in Germany. He was robbed, so I sent him $500 for food. He decided to come home to the US, so I covered his $1650 in airfare. He video-chatted with me tonight - only, no video. Just sound. His thick German accent really came through as he kept saying he couldn't get home unless I sent him over $10,000. And, at that point, I cut him off. Now, I sit here about to cry because of how hurt and lost and ashamed I am.

Romance scams are targeted at men 100 to 1000x more than women! All dating sites are basically commercial romance scams targeting men many orders of magnitude more than women.

Even things like Onlyfans can be lumped into the category as it's primarily instagram model women doing stuff for sexual likes, payments, validation and sexual favours. Commercial prostitution in a new modern format.
