The world of modern dating can be cray-cray. More and more, people are turning to dating apps in the hopes of meeting their perfect match, but this doesn’t come without its pitfalls.

My ex got messaged by the Swiss Cheese Pervert on OK Cupid.
He started out respectful enough but by the 3rd paragraph was talking about how he likes to [enjoy some alone time] with cheese.
She told her friends but no one believed her (she blocked him so the messages disappeared) until he started [being a bit too intimate] with cheese in public, got caught and went viral.

Whenever a girl starts a conversation too [intimately] or wants [intimate pics] right away, I know it's a scam.

I'm in the UK and my profile picture was me cuddling a tiger. I got a few matches from places like Philippines and Thailand - or perhaps, the tiger did.
