Lot's of chatter (whining? here about the increase percentages of bogus profiles.  We all have to deal with them, and we all are looking for tips on how to spot them (preferably before we go through all the steps that proceed "her" ask for money upfront).  

 
Here's a list of what I consider yellow and red flags.  No single "flag" is necessarily definitive. But each additional flag adds the likelihood of a scammer/GPS Rob/Pig Butcher/Simp Farm disaster.  I'll break this into several categories:
1. Pics
2. Profile text
3. Logical flaws
4. Communication modes
5. Timing
6. Real world verification results

 
I will make a separate post for each of these. This is Part 2-Profile Text

 
After her pics, the actual text and other profile tags can be the most important resource for spotting red or yellow flags.  

 
You will always see some populated info fields: Age, location, drinking and smoking, children, last active date/time, country used to log in, etc. These can all be faked or blocked. But in combination with the profile text, can be useful in either building or destroying credibility.  

 
First consideration: Is there any profile text at all? An empty profile is generally bad, especially on profile older than a few weeks.  As with pics, think about how a "legit" POT creates her profile. She likely get to the About Me and Seeking sections and has to pause to consider what to type. While a scammer will have a boilerplate text block ready to be pasted in. A profile with few words means the author may not really be sincere about finding a perfect SD, and is just using her pics to troll for scam targets.  A legit POT will generally start by saying something about who they are and their status like: "In college for marketing and it's expensive." Notice that these opening thoughts often "justify" why she feels it necessary/appropriate to be here (and that she may not "normally" be a paid-for-sex whore). A scammer, especially the foreign women Pig Butcher profiles will wax on about life, happiness, and living a peaceful life in harmony with nature, or some other total bullshit crap.  

 
Next: What are her "demands" and "no's"? Almost every demand or no-list is a red flag.  
"No cheap men"  
"Not looking for endless texts"  
"I must be compensated for all of my time"  
"No time wasters"
"I know my worth"
"Scammers don't bother" (sounds counter-intuitive, but it's a common scammer ploy)
"Make a real offer to get a reply"  Obviously this is something you must NEVER do online.  

 
Seeking text: Read carefully. A legit POT will tend to suggest her true wants as either cash, or upscale experiences or both. Look for key terms like discretion: is she ok with, even looking for upscale dates for dinner, concerts, etc. Or is she uncomfortable being seen in public with your old, saggy skin, fat belly, balding, pervy, geriatric, Bengay-smelling ass?  Neither are necessarily good or bad. But each must fit the context of the rest of the profile.  

 
A thought about the word "love":  If her profile says she's looking for lifetime partners, her soul-mate love, her future special person, run. This is a site for women to date and fuck men for cash support. It's not Match or eHarmony. No legit POT comes to Seeking to find her true love, unless she's a super-hot model looking to be a trophy wife. And even if she wants to be a trophy wife, there are other, better sites to get that, and the super-hot models know it.  

 
Text length: As suggested at the start, shorter tends to be bad, longer tends to be good with this qualifier:  Rambling monologues about finding inner-peace, reading poetry on the Spanish Steps in Italy, and her established financial independence (so she couldn't POSSIBLY be after your money), are almost always either cut & pasted from somewhere, or are AI generated.  However, a POT, especially a newly-moved out 18-23-year old with a verbose communication style, may go into longer passages with specifics about herself, like what games she plays, what music she likes, about her life growing up, about her food or pet likes, etc.  The more specific and the more aligned with the rest of her profile, the better.  

 
I will talk about logical flaws in Part 3.  

 
Feel free to add comments, questions or other tips on any of the 6 parts.  

 
Life is good

I mostly concur with HTC. I would add that multiple profile typos and poor grammar are also a tell ... that she is a likely real chick and not a professional scammer. (She might be an amateur scammer.)

 
But it's a two-edged sword. It's great to know she's real before I engage her. However, I am not very interested in a girl who is incapable of professional communication. Or one who can't be bothered to try. If she actually reads my profile, she knows I appreciate a girl who puts her best foot forward. (Stray typos are of no concern; we can't go through each one with a style manual.   )
