FabSwingers.com forum: Why are some people so gullible!

By (user no longer on site) OP

Always makes me laugh! Having a coffee break and as many will know i'm a big fan of useful tools such as Tineye when having a perve at what seems to be a 'slightly dubious' photo.

Just strolled through newly uploaded pics and came across one that stuck out like a sore thumb. Checked it. Definately dodgy. Reported it.

The thing that makes me snigger is the fact that despite the profile being only a couple of hours old and having no friends only pics - there were already over 20 single guys on the friends list!

Are people really that desperate to 'make friends' - or do you think perhaps the little head is getting in the way of the big heads common sense department?

Before I had even put profile text in,

so no pics, no nothing, not even filters on. I was bombarded with messages, mostly 'nice profile' ones

The 20 men that emailed me in the first few minutes automatically went on my block list

That was without any text or pics, so I can imagine that new profiles with pics get much more attention

It is very much 'little head' thinking

I have a bad habit of pretending to be gullible, because sometimes I get a kick out of it.

Yep - I know what new women go through!

My point was more that are some people that desperate to get interest or meets that they'll 'friend invite' anyone without doing a little 'research' or contemplating the fact that as we all know - some profiles are often not what they seem!

Seems a little 'reckless' - particularly if you've hidden your shiny face pic in amongst your friends only - rather than keep it private!

It also no doubt contributes to the attitude of many that their time is being 'wasted' - when in fact if they didn't go charging in like a horny bull it wouldn't!

Talking of guliable people. You ever seen that programme on MTV Catfish? I always wonder how they can be that guliable? Some people really do live in airy, fairy land.

Reverse image check is a god send for spotting fakes lol Any pics that look too good to be true I check. Sometimes they do turn out to be real but most of the time its a fake then its send a wee report with the link to the search and see if they get booted

We look at profiles with both eyes...

Their sight is impaired by only using the one eye

There is no warning on here that you get out, that, that you put in (effort and common sense) Some of the muppets that emailed me within minutes use the forums too

Thinking with the 'little head', doesn't allow for privacy, safety or anything else. It's sheer desperation, they just think get in before they get other options, or they are already friended so can watch the new images being uploaded.

Unless those that do it, want to come forward with their own reasons....?

Either download tineye - or simply go onto google, click images - and instead of typing something in the search bar - click the camera icon and eother cut and paste a source address for an image or copy the image and paste it in!

Suprising what results you'll find!

" is a reverse image search engine. You give an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions."

just tried a random pic and it didn't find it,

The one I checked came up with double figures on tineye and 230 via google.

Yes - there will be times when people genuinely upload their pics to other sites through their own choice.

But finding that the pic you're checking is cropped from a professional porn shoot or of a 19 yr old Brazillian girl when the profile says something quite different - kind of sets offwarning bells in my head!

Nope. If you've set your preferences to not being locatable by brwoser searches it's unlikely it'll find you.

Unless someones nicked your pic and posted it elsewhere!

I've actually checked most of mine and found no results! Which i'm glad about!!

This has made me laugh today as i got a message off a single guy the other day..somewhat unrelated to false pics..but the profile did seem familiar..yep..he'd copied yours almost word for word! (not that i have perved yours too much or anything!

)

I suppose you could take it as a compliment...?
