There's a sex split on this.

For instance if I go on a dating app most of the people who message me first will be very real 50-60 year old men pretending to be my age.

You guys using the same site will get mostly bots making the first move.

The Ashley Madison hack showed this pretty clearly.

age is just a number, right?

one of the clues that you are on with a romance scam is they tend to go overboard with their initial text messages... they will be lengthy and way too deep... and then they will want to get you off onto hangouts or perhaps whatsapp.. and they will usually ask you several times if you have ever been on these sites before... they want somebody new... that doesnt know whats up..

a girl from africa, she told me that her father was a king and that she was about to lose her THREE HUNDRED ACRE cocoa bean farm because she couldnt pay the $600 back taxes...

so i was daydreaming about walking naked thru my new 300 acre cocoa bean farm with my african princess and that she and i would spend time chatting with the king..

the mind is a terrible thing.

oh my gawd.. she was really cute.. i was trying to figure out how i could come up with her money... and i was thinking how nice it might be to have lunch with the king..

and then she got desperate and asked me to borrow $250 so that she could open a boutique to sell used bras and panties.

i guess that is a normal business in africa to sell used underwear..

yup.

if i had to guess, i would say that way more than 90% of the ladies on that site are really men that are pretending to be women... so they can scam you out of money..

I take a middle ground when it comes to this. There's an insane amount of people using the Internet, like think of all the people who use Facebook. But It's also true that a lot of the interactions between users isn't legit.

There was a time in which MMORPGs were the rage in Latin América and it was amazing how many people you could meet to have fun with.

I sell puppies online. Real dogs. To real people. I make real money. So, the internet is not dead.

Tarantulas I was just looking at cost $49 for the next day air shipping alone, and that spider was only 1 inch in diameter. What's next day air on a puppy?

It depends on where you are, but it’s expensive. My dogs are all ready 3k per pop. I would travel with the puppy, like on my lap. So it’s travel expenses + delivery fee. I imagine air travel would be around 2k. But I drive the pups across the US for much less.

Sounds like a nice deal you have. What kind of puppies?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Golden doodles. It’s okay. I’m not in the ideal situation. But I am doing my best.

How much are Goldendoodles?

The cost of a Goldendoodle is going to range anywhere from $500 to $4000 depending on whether you buy or adopt. The average price of a standard-sized Goldendoodle puppy from a reputable breeder is going to be roughly $2,100.May 7, 2020

Looks like they need constant attention, or they go a little nuts. Cute doggos though.

Breeding pets or growing plants in high demand at home is an interesting market. They used to sell baby ostriches for $5000 each, as everyone would soon be eating ostrich instead of the other birds. I think the only people who made money there were the suppliers to prospective farmers.

Poodles need a lot of attention or they go a little nuts. That is a great way to describe my poodle. But golden doodles are very chill, at least the standard size ones. They require very little attention and like to do their own thing. My poodle needs endless amounts of attention or he starts doing weird shit.

I am looking into llamas, for their fur. I would like to own a farm where I sell a few litters of dogs a year, sheer Lammas, and grow some food.

Joke's on you, that money is fake as it's being hyperinflated into oblivion.
