I sometimes get a private message from someone claiming to be a woman, but she is not someone I recognize at all. We have had no conversations in public; neither of us has replied to anything that the other has posted. By, now, I can predict what will happen next.
After a few meaningless lines like "how are you" comes the predictable "can I ask you a question?" or some such line, and immediately "she" wants to get into sexual conversations and/or send me provocative pictures. Often "she" is supposedly in a real-life situation that is a bit far-fetched and tries to get a response from me.
Depending on my mood, I either just stop replying, or I reply with innocent-sounding questions that point out the holes in "her" story, just to see how resourceful the guy is at patching up his BS. It is amazing to me how often they do not recognize what I am doing when I take the latter course! lol
