Honestly don't know if it's just me, but this site seems to be worse than it was 10 years ago when I first joined? The number of fake profiles is just staggering.

I've been on here over 10 years and rarely encounter fake profiles.

Are they contacting you OP or the other way around?

"How do you spot a fake profile. Any signs?"

No veries, no profile pic, black bio, 1 or 2 pics with cut out from a group and not subscribed. Just few things there's more but I'll stop here.

Worse when some have massive profiles. You read them follow all the instructions but never get a reply after all that

London.

It's exactly the same on the straight dating sites, they're a nightmare of fakes, lying, rudeness, etc now. The sites have matured over 10 years and part of that maturing is the trouble moving in and infiltrating the original more genuine members. No idea what the solution might be other than it's gonna get worse.

Clubs and read the verifications.

It was brilliant up to the Wall St. crash of 1930.

Why do these so-called fakes bother you? How do they directly impede your experience on here?

10 years ago I logged on to an inbox full of hot lonely local MILFs wanting my penis. Now I have to beg and plead just to get a reply from a 4 at best. Also stuff was cheaper back then and kids used to go out and play and the trains ran on time.

Just kidding! If you go back 10 years in the forum you'll find posts from others moaning about how good the site was before then. We're in a perpetual cycle of people blaming the site because they can't get laid.

Reading

The same couple with the same profile pic keep signing up, buying gold membership, getting verified by people all within 10 mins of joining.

No published verifications so you don't know who they are verified by, then in a week or so, disappear, then a new profile created with an incremented number at the end and repeat.

Back in the day it was super good.

I've stopped paying for gold membership. Can't see the point.

It's never really evolved.

The site hasn't changed much for me, just a different load of people on it than when we first joined.

As the above post said, go into the archives of the forum and you will get people complaining years ago too. It is a bit like reviews on the web, most people only give them when it is a bad one.

I suppose it comes down to someones definition of a fake...some people think others are fake if they don't reply ( like a post implied above )

So what's your definition OP? Is it that you are having no luck? I suppose you have to remember you are now ten years older which might limit your chances of getting a meet.

I think the site is fine. If to use it properly then it is very good. It has always been like that. There are more people now and things like the forums go through waves of good and not so good but that has always been the case.

If you are seeing lots of fakes then I would take that as a sign that you should probably change the way you use it.

Fake profiles have always been a thing, they are extremely easy to spot & avoid.

It's the same on all established sites. It's the people not the site.

Seems the safest way to meet is going to a club night?
