Given all the scamming, picture collecting and catfishing on Grindr and other apps, what are some of your red flags?

Here are mine:

  1. No Location - Hot torso shot but no location given and does not appear when you search in your area
  2. Photos don't seem to match - you often have to look closely for this one, but there's a tattoo on his arm in one headless photo that's not there in another
  3. Sends half a dozen photos in his initial messages including extreme close-ups of his dick and asshole with a message "now send yours" - does anyone ever actually respond positively to that?
What else?

The profiles with no pictures asking you for pictures, especially when you already have pictures in your profile.

I also love the profiles that say no to something (no bottoms, no old, no bigger, no younger, etc.) But they message you and want to hookup. Sorry. I'm exactly what your profile said you weren't interested in.

Lately, I've had lots of bottoms only wanting to hookup. My profile says I am bottom only looking for tops. I tell them I'm not interested, I'm only looking for tops to come fuck me. They still say they are interested in meeting. How in the world does that work?

The guys with a long list of demands - "Must send clear face shot in first photo. Must be able host on Tuesdays between 7pm and 9pm. Must be over 6'2" tall and weight 185 or more. Must be willing to verify on another site...."

You know that if you actually do get by their list of criteria, in person they are going to be every bit as demanding and the sex will be every bit as awkward and controlled.

Yeah, when I see a profile full of demands like that, I close the profile and move on.

that specific criteria is also a red flag that the person is a scammer

And the sex is always boring too. Egotistical and demanding people are always the most non-reciprocating, selfish, boring people at the end of the day
