Sadly, this is the only way many can make an income and that’s why they go this route.

While dating within 100 miles of home is not possible, and yep, the specter of life long alone-not-by-choice is definitely there. No family and my plans for leaving this job may wind up being in a remote area and unemployed and thus never again datable,I became really good at dissing out scammers so much so that OK Cupid asked me to aid in spotting them. Some tips
1. What’s the average dude in your age range look like? What’s an average income and education level? If they’re kinda tubby, low income types and all of a sudden a hot dude with an Ivy League education shows up in a smallish town, something’s amiss. Look at a huge disparity between interests and listed income compared to profession. Here, it’s ski bum land, you’re not gonna find Shakespearian actors, and nope, construction dudes don’t pull 150k. Foreign scammers don’t know the region, the economy, and it shows.
2. Really hot dude claiming to be uber Christian, mentions God constantly. Foreigners think all of us older chix walk about with Bible in hand. Again a stereotype from another country. Most of us older on line chix are more educated and atheists.
3. Claims to be foreign born, Italian, Swede, whatever. This is to explain errors in syntax and grammar.
4. Sometimes uses actual pics of nearby very successful businessmen. They’re easily found on line.
Same profile wording, different pics. When they’re discovered, they’ll use the same profile and put a different pic up.
5. Pictures of places they say they’re working don’t match with the topography and vegetation of the area. Last time I looked, Colorado has lotsa mountains, and doesn’t have rainforest type soil or vegetation.
The big thing is to know the reality of your area, a good idea of what you can realistically pull in your area, and pay attention.
