NY interactions weren't encouraging either, which seem to be predominantly scams/bots/blackmailers or wildly high maintenance.
So much this. There's a 20% - 30% overhead timewise to get rid of those. There are indicators that make it easier. For example if you get a flurry of favorites about 5 minutes after you logged in, they all likely found that you are online via a bot, so not likely there's any real woman that you'll get to meet, regardless of the purpose of the fake account. So I have to play whack-a-mole with those.
And then a woman comes along who totally seems impossible. I just saw one literally this evening who so too good to be true, who I was so sure was a scam that I rearranged my stuff so that if I was being set up to get jacked they would get my money and CCs but not my dr license, debit card, or other IDs. Even while she was sucking me I was thinking maybe I didn't check well enough and she's really a tranny. But no, she was just totally legit. She hosts, she isn't psycho, she wasn't hiding some hideousness via photoshop, she doesn't seem to be an addict of any kind, she insisted on safety, her location is super convenient, and I had a great time. Like I said too good to be true. (And you'll have to find her yourself, so don't DM me.) So go figure.
