Why do I continue to match with catfishes? I can’t seem to catch a break. Are there are real men out there?

I would encourage you to be more critical of the profiles that you are matching with as catfish are pretty easy to spot. Things to look for:
- are they too good looking
- do they have zero local pics on their profile (I get that we all travel and post travel pics, but if all of their pics are in a foreign country, they are most likely not real)
- use reverse image search such as pim eyes on a clear pic of their face
- If they ask you to get off the app right away, especially for a third party app such as WhatsApp or Telegram (NOTE: if you are in Europe WhatsApp may not be an indicator of catfish as it is more common there)

Really you think if they don't have pictures of themselves out and about if that's a red flag? I don't expose any part of my life when it comes to my private life? That's just me I get that but I have plenty of pictures they're just not out and about pictures I don't think that's really a red flag I guess that all depends on the question asked why it's like that and if they say it like me then it would not be red flag

Interesting - the ones I have matched with have been obvious bots once talking. Are you M or F?

Yeah we’re here we just not matching.

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend.
