Amazes me that this is still on...


It's 2017... who only chats anymore?

I don't have much experience with online dating but... whenever I've met a girl online we exchange some messages and shortly (days at most) we have a video call... this show is so fake.

Yeah, that's why I never watch it. I've only seen a few episodes. I don't understand it either but there was a case a few years back where this man was texting/sexting what he thought was a young transgender girl, but it was actually a male extortionist. This man never spoke to the alleged trans girl on the phone to realize she wasn't a real person and he got duped and paid out a few thousand dollars so this catfisher wouldn't 'out' him.
