I'm new to sites like fishmeetfish and set up chats with 2 lads over the weekend. Both spent about 5 minutes chatting, then demanded talking on the phone or pictures before proceeding. So I get to prove I'm not a scammer???
I can make sure I get extra pictures but how fast do you others give in to those demands? And since it's chat, they want real time phone calls, which I can't support. I pushed back on one, lost another. I use the classic " I don't know you, why would I give you that?"but I see only limited success.
I'm used to baiting the chatters, slow build the relationship type. They relent when I say no. New world for me, please let me know what works!

I always turn the tables on them "Only scammers would ask that" or "I hear scammers are collecting pictures and pretending to be women! How could you do that to me? I was so nice and now you want to scam me! Goodbye!" That line worked for me recently.

If they don't budge, I drop them. The usually come back and forget all about the picture nonsense. If they don't come back with their current profile, they make new ones frequently.

Regarding calls, I tell them I'm not a hussy that just hands her number out to internet strangers.

I don't think there are any "real" people on FMF. They're either baiters or scammers. Very Happy

Yes, I was really surprised at the level of slime on the site. At least there's variety and quantity for a novice like me to try different styles.
