If you’ve ever wondered why there is a an epidemic of single men the likes of which we have never seen before, there are several factors that contribute to this, and most of them have to do with profit and deception! Up until the 1980’s divorce had not yet become so common and easy to achieve with some state courts requiring proof that all efforts had been made at reconciliation before divorce could be granted. That was before all stops has been taken off and the full impact of being single had taken hold of the populace and left a huge percentage of the masses in the unnatural state of living single!

Let’s put aside for the moment the question of social impact such as moral decline and political implications, let’s just focus on a large and growing industry making false promises and big profits, and that’s the dating industry! Unregulated, unverified, uninvestigated, and untrustworthy is this multi-million dollar system of capitalizing on the grief of the divorced, the separated, and the unhappily single middle aged males who are sincerely trying to find a mate, a partner, someone to settle down with, not a playboy bunny beneath the sheets which is what all the dating sites advertise. It is widely known in the Asian overseas markets where photo shop software is used to lighten skin, remove the appearance of wrinkles, sharpen and narrow facial features that make a very routine and unremarkable profile appear to be professional model quality! Imagine the shock of a man who has been blowing his hard earned cash for months making that overseas trip to China, Taiwan, the Philippines, or Indonesia first meeting that ravishing beauty and seeing the real product for the first time! Realizing not only has he been duped, but that these slick con artists we know as dating or introductory services are nothing more than cash cows without a conscience!

Men who are sick and tired of going to bars, trying to talk over loud music and strike up a conversation with some drunk, bitter, and untrusting single woman out for the night with her girlfriends who might respond if the dude looks like he has money to blow! Fat chance! How about going to church and single support groups? You can listen to the war stories about how former drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes, and single mothers with children from different fathers have found Jesus and are now saved and renewed! Oh boy! I have nothing against being redeemed but some of those who got saved have some pretty gruesome stories if they even care to be honest enough to tell them, and that’s the scary part!

So now we have the modern dating site since the old personal ads in the classified columns are a thing of the past! Supposedly, you can see what you like and make a convenient choice? Yeah, if you trust in wives tales, fairy stories, and illusions! The new Artificial Intelligence managed dating sites can muster up more fake profiles with photo shopped features, with lush and interesting backgrounds like the Roman Coliseum, Hawaii, lavish bistros, or football stadium suites, so that the appearance is even more delightful to the untrained eye. Take a closer look around the edges of images, relative light exposure values and you may be looking at a different head connected to a model’s body standing in front of a poster or electronically generated false background rather than a true location! All of this may seem terribly deceptive, but it brings in millions from lonely and desperate bachelors longing for the warmth of human touch, and instead getting nothing but lies, false promises, and no real contact information what so ever! And you wonder how this could be allowed to happen? What we need is a Nick Shirley or James O’keefe of the dating investigation world, one of the biggest unprosecuted scam industries in our society! In fact, these are crime syndicate level operations!

Why would this level of sophisticated debauchery be allowed to go on unmolested by the authorities? The banks damn sure aren’t going to bitch about all the credit card service fees and interest they make off single men hard up to find someone! What incentive is there in that! How is it that in every other scam category there are no red flags raised warning the credit card user that there are many complaints about a particular company? No skin off the bank’s nose, they’ll just tell you, “Not our problem. You made the transaction, right? Don’t pay and it’s you we report to the credit union and charge more interest on!”

Personally, I get so many dating site messages from sparklingly sexy babes texting me and actually sending me letters trying to convince me to spend my money and get strung along like a hurt puppy needing to locate its litter! Model quality babes that wouldn’t need any help getting a date at all resorting to online dating? Give me a break! Today, it’s not if a Dude has responsible character, a thoughtfully written profile, or a sincere intention-it’s about money, travel, good times, and a future based on an impressive career resume! And, that’s even if the respondent is an actual profile instead of a Bot!

The FBI, Federal Trade Commission, and Federal Communications Commission, if they were doing their jobs, should be investigating these money making cash cows! I’ve had friends who make loads of money contacted by these dating firms promising impressive profit margins but there is never a mention about actual quality of service provided to the consumer, absolutely no mention of it! And, truthfully many investors couldn’t give a damn either! If you say that why should any federal agency be concerned over consumer protection in the dating realm, then why is it that practically every film you watch has an FBI warning against copyright infringement that we get warnings from the FTC over stock trade advertisements, then why not expensive dating sites with their vast internet canvasing?

Are you ladies wondering how in the world could men in their right minds consider female robot companions? Now you know why. If it were not for the already problematical interpretation of women’s body language, subtle signals, or political alignment, then it has become the huge financial scheme of online dating and introductory services! Where money is king and loneliness is almost guaranteed! Depopulation? It’s already well underway!

Here are some red flags about the dating sites themselves and profile details that should pop up like a land mine to tank crew!

• If the dating site shows its point of origin or jurisdiction alone-Does it show an international offshore locations like Isle of man, Greece, or China? Stay away! This is to limit legal power of restitution for claims of fraudulent transactions!
• Make sure to enquire about refund policy in the event of complaints or proven fraud!
• Have you been catfished by an unscrupulous hacker? If the profile takes you away from the site to their supposedly own email and are so enthusiastic and aggressively sexual in their approach to you, caution Jethro, especially if there is any request for financial help!
• These dating sites are like self-replicating cancer cells, especially the Asian overseas dating sites. Once a site gets a bad reputation from scamming so many men that word finally gets around, they simply pick a new name, a new website design, and flood their AI managed site with new fake profiles! Watch for the same photo from one site appearing on others. Happens all the time!
• When you request that you have contact with a profile outside of the dating site since the two of you have gotten to know each other supposedly so well and she says she only feels comfortable communicating from the site she’s on RED FLAG! You’ve been scammed immediately file a complaint with customer service and demand a refund, but chances are due to their terms and conditions, you’ll get the runaround!
• The old adage that, “If it looks too good to be true. It probably is,” Would be applicable here!
• Even with the big name dating providers like Match and E-Harmony who claim to verify their members, it’s still a tossup since the men generally outnumber the women and the lookers will definitely have a 100 to 1 ratio of men to female interest.

Sadly, we live in an era of eternal disinformation and due diligence is becoming harder and harder to practice!
