Two different adult women raped several girls each by pretending to be boys, and enough people have been scammed by Nigerian princes. It's not impossible that a would-be rapist strings along a shy or desperate person. Shy people's brains go into denial mode and shut down when they suspect they're being scammed: no no no, this can't possibly be happening! Telling a man he's not manly enough is the ultimate insult, likewise for women (especially if she is "gender-nonconforming" -- that's sexist!). A beard and male pattern baldness immediately signal "man" to most people.

It helps if you're hot and can take your pick from hot people, but someone who rolled snake eyes in the genetics department can look at a powdered keg or a garden gnome and think, hey, maybe here's my chance at love.

Photos obviously don't count, they're shopped and filtered. They're more like pose references for artists at this point.
