How to spot a fake profile.

How to spot a fake profile.


Ok I've been on this site for a long time, occasionally I look for people that might have some spark of intelligence to talk to, or meet up with. Its rare I find someone interesting, so when I do I cherish those people like they were sent down from heaven with the sole purpose of restoring my faith in humanity. (her name was Jenny and she was awesome)

But what I find most of the time are fake profiles, guys pretending to be girls either looking for other girls (which i can understand sorta) or girls that are really boys looking for other boys [old men].

Now that one boggles the fuck out of me, I have no idea what the end game of that is, what is there to gain from being a guy, pretending to be a girl, looking for a guy? Its not like you can meet, its not like you can call them on the phone.

I just dont understand it. And to make matters worse I ALWAYS see comments on their profiles from idiots [men] proclaiming how much they're in love with them, or how perfect they are. Which is ok those girls do exist out there in the world SOMEWHERE but its not on Affairlook, and they're not talking to you through a broken ass chat system that hardly ever works.

So this is my public service, I'm going to walk you through how to spot a fake, how to save yourself the hassle of investing your time into someone who isnt real.

Step one. View their profile. If you're serious about Affairlook suck it up and spend the money a month to get a gold account. It will save you time and sanity not to mention there are some hotties on here that post some pretty good pics/vids on their profiles and those are worth checking out. I fully support real people taking advantage of everything this site has to offer.

Red Flags to look out for.


Do they have pictures posted. If yes and the pictures are taken with a camera, good chance those pictures are from at least 5+ years ago. When was the last time you used a camera to take a picture, unless its your job to take photos, its doubtful you busted out your DSLR to take a picture of your food at dinner. You use your phone.. everyone has a camera phone EVERYONE. my mom she's 75.. she has a camera phone..

let me say that again. My mom is 75 and she has a camera phone.

So if the person you're talking to says "i dont have a camera phone" You say bullshit and you walk away its 2013, next year my remote control to my tv is going to have a camera in it.

If their pictures are REALLY good quality, we're talking good lighting, high res images. These are photos that were taken professionally by people that are paid to take photos. These photos are also copywritten, they get sold to web sites, they have water marks on them or webaddress on them. The pictures are usually touched up.

AND THEY'RE MODELS

ok.. now if you take anything from this blog, this is the thing you need to pay attention to and love and hold close at night.

Google Image search.


What you want to do is right click their photo if you're using IE and click save image, or save as something save. You'll copy that image onto your computer. If you're using firefox its easy you just click and hold on the phot and drag the photo to your desktop and boom saved photo.

Now go to google.. its easy.. www.google.com then in the upper right there is a thing that says "Images" click that.. a little camera icon will appear in the google search box in the middle of the screen. Now remember that photo you saved off that super hot girls profile. Take that photo and drag it into the search box. If that photo appears on the internet.. ANYWHERE google has had its grubby little fingers it will tell you.

If that photo is part of a series of photos, it will show you were to go to look at them. If she's a professional model, it will tell you what site she's on and then you can go and pay her money to talk to THE REAL FUCKING GIRL.. or some intern they have to field all your creepy ass emails and twitter comments. Either way its closer to the real person then talking to the basement virgin with the fake profile on Affairlook is. So do that, tell them I sent you.

What do you do if they dont have pictures on their profile?

ok now it gets dicey, now you have to use your eye balls to do the unthinkable, read. I know you're reading this so its a possibility you're capable of doing it. But what you're looking for is context clues. As the saying goes, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

Think about the things you like, or are looking for in the perfect girl you hope to find. Ok she's younger, she likes anal, she sucks cock like the cure for cancer is buried deep inside my penis and only she has the suction able to release the precious vaccine from its imprisonment in my testicles.

If you see that girl, she says she wants a daddy, wants an older guy, likes gang bangs, wants to be your rapeslave, doesnt have a cam but will type sweet sweet nothings in your eyeholes.

its probably a dude.

cause someone just like you said, well if i cant find that girl, then I'll BE THAT GIRL! and he thought it was awesome, as if pretending that she was real would bring this girl to life somehow through him. And ya he's jerkin off the entire time you're pouring over how beautiful and disgusting her inner most deep dark fantasies are. Remember that.

So remember if it sounds to good to be true. probably is.


Once you start talking


Lets say you start talking, blah blah blah start swappin photos, first thing.. check all those photos against google image search EVERY SINGLE TIME. Until the point you ask "her" to prove shes a her. By saying something along the lines of

"hey take a picture of yourself with my name on a piece of paper, doenst have to be nude just so i know you are you"

I dont see this as an unreasonable request, and i'd be happy to do the same, but really who's going to pretend they're me online, thats just silly talk. And explain why you want this done, and if they say anything like "oh my camera doesnt work" "its broken" or some other bullshit.. walk away.

Now since messenger can be used on mobile devices, it is possible they could be out and about and not able to do something like that, but be creative. Say take a picture with your finger in your nose and your tongue out. Make it crazy enough that the chances of them having a picture of just that stupid ass request are slim.

(to be fair.. ONCE i was talking to a girl whos camera was broken, and she turned out to be a real girl she was the 1

To sum up

Always check profile photos against google images, thats seriously the most important thing.

Always ask for proof of life

Dont give out your cell number until you verify who they are. There's plenty of free services (kik, yahoo) stuff like that where you can talk privately without giving up personal contact info

I may of drifted a bit while writing this, its a one off no proof reading, and i kept getting phone calls while doing it. So dont hold that against me.

Maybe I'll write up a how to spot a fake webcam post next.

Hope you enjoyed, and hope you learned something.

oh and one last thing report every fake profile you come across, its the only way to improve the site and discourage future basement virgin pretenders.

I personally think that the site generates phony female profiles. Why? To drive mail traffic on here! The question to ask is, who benefits? Follow the money…

That's also why you can see profiles of people outside of the mileage parameters you have set, and why profiles tend to linger on here after the individual has logged off; it's all about fluffing the numbers.

My profile pic is 20 years old and you will note that it was professionally shot and further photoshopped. Why don't I put up a current pic? Well, I don't wish to be recognised! It doesn't make me less real. For me, this site is more about entertainment. I love reading the blogs, I enjoy banal no holds barred chit chat.. But not until i am definitely certain that I even want to get to know a person more will i provide a "proof of life" and if people think i am fake or male, so be it. I don't arbitarily give out my personal contacts or my pictures without examining a person's mind which is much more important to me than a picture.

Just my 2 cents.

Wannabe/Sexpot - which one do you want me to be?

Thanks you, we tried the google search and found the same pic all over the place, some dating back as far as 10 years and some copied from other sites

try this one as well which is free tineye reverse image search. Works just as well as goggle. If you do find a fake make sure you report them directly to Affairlook abuse team and let them figure out what to do with them. If the pic is too good to be true.. have a look at it hugs V

tineye is another good resource but it has limited number of searches a day, and they want you to sign up for it to get unlimited access.

So i didnt want to talk about it or make it sound like i was trying to sell something in my post.

google is free

I do not bother will all that stuff Google Image. Do not waste my time. Do you know once you are in cyber space you are fair game. Yes my profile is on Google, does that make me a fake..No have verified I.D. What a hassle as reported as a fake and had my profile deleted..only way to get it reinstated had to send then a FAX of my license. They wanted official Picture I.d. So unless you are sure, and they are not bothering me. I don't report a members as being a fake. It can put a real person through alot of unnecessary stress or hassle of lots paperwork to go through. Just do not be another one of the gullible members that get conned into buy or getting something you do not want. As long as gullible men, fakes and cons will keep coming..If no gullible and stupid men on here the cons will go away. Yes supply and demand. There is a sucker on here every minute and they know.

Have a great horny day LUV

Maybe I wasnt entirely clear in my point, and I should of addressed it, real peoples profiles will appear on a google image search, but you'll see the results as Affairlook profiles.

Now if their Affairlook profile appears along with say an imagefap gallery or a chive post, ect. Then its a good bet they're a fake.

And while they might not be bothering you, they're bringing down the integrity of the entire user base, which hurts all of us, rather indirectly.

And as to the point of gullible men being here, the point of this blog is to try to educate the people that dont know any better, to make it harder for the fakes/coms/scammers to accomplish what they set out to.

And if that can be taken care of by informing them of how to do a google image search before making contact, then I dont think that's wasted time at all.

Great post...and it made me chuckle. Most of this is common sense. Sadly, not everyone on this site is equipped with it.

Check out my blog and get to know me: Ummmmmmm, DUH!!

They either want your off site e-mail address, a credit card number, or money, it very simple, SCAMMER'S!!!!!!

The site right now is loaded with them, ranging from age 18 to over 60, just be careful and read between the lines.

Then turn the SOB's into the Abuse Team!!!
