My hetero friends tell me a lot of people they meet on apps are more interested in gaining OnlyFans subscribers than meeting people.

I don't know how prevalent this phenomenon is, but that's at least 0.9 on the Mad Max scale.

(As a demi/gay man, online dating is incredibly alien to me.)



It's true, at least 1/5 women on these sites is just trying to push a social media profile.

Some of them don't even bother with a bio, it's just a few photos and a link.


Not only OnlyFans profiles, but also Instagram. Some want to get to a few thousand followers and use it, I know even some people in relationships that did it.

And then there's the bots which just start a generic conversation and recommend some Clash of Clans clone or something.

But as mentioned, you realize that in the first 5 mins of interaction.


They are really easy to spot though. The ones that have no intention to meet and just signed up because of boredom, that's harder and wastes time.
