  It’s so fun to be able to tell who’s a bot on the dating sites.

  It’s actually really simple: did they message me first? 100% of the time they were bots.

    Not true!

    Some of the people who message you first are human! Human scammers, human onlyfans girls who want you to pay for nudes, etc.

      Good point, I unfairly took their humanity away when I included them in the bot category.

      …But then again they took their own humanity away when they decided to become scammers lol

    The problem is, anyone you message is using the same test, thus deciding that you are a bot. The only logical way to handle this is to ensure you start all messages with “Greetings fellow human, I have perused the photographs of yourself that you put online. Not only are they very attractive – they’re interesting too. You did the right thing putting them up, and it was very brave to do so. I would lime to get to know you better…” That way no-one will be confused.

    Idk, I get human girls messaging me somewhat regularly. Never the ones I want to see, but still…

    The difference between bots and humans is that bots dont go on dates

      I have to imagine that means you’re at least a somewhat desirable person.

      I am not lol

    Is this some kind of American phenomenon? I’m very active on Tinder and get maybe one bot or scammer a year, out of over a hundred matches

      But still no luck? Consider that the algorithm has the focus on engagement.

      Not sure how it is now, I gave up completely over a year ago after a decade of trying. They were pretty bad ~2 years ago in the US.

  When you think about it all trees are cell towers

    Trees were invented by the same government organisation that invented birds. They use trees in combination with birds to spy on us.

      “Tap” your phone… tap root… maybe this will wake some of you up

  I know it’s about dating apps but I just wanted to say that I like the idea of dressing up random human-made structures like this.

    If that’s the same tree I’m thinking of, it’s an evil man-made creation that uses noise frequency humans can’t hear to drive off animals from their homes. My only source for this is the movie Hoppers.

      Uh … no. It’s not the tree you’re thinking of. This is a cell phone tower, where your 5G comes from.

  “Cell…you…lair?  Haha, what is that?  Are you making up words?  Anyway, my wooden roots way down in this soil sure are providing me with nutrients today.”
