While helping out singles all around the world especially in the USA where it all started, online dating is known to have unwanted elements always lurking around the corner.

Along with the thousands of matches being made, from the men and women meeting for the date on the weekend to passing messages to see if they are made for each other moving towards marriage, there is always the impersonator trying to get your attention all the while, but sending you photos pretending to be the woman of your dreams if you are a man searching for a lover. Where is the impersonator from? Is he a part of the gang sitting in another part of the world, trying to know about your personal life and financial details or from within the country.

The known dating apps while taking baby steps towards verification of singles on their platform, the efforts are both half hearted and tilted towards making the maximum profit. For example, there are known famous dating apps like Hinge and Tinder, that first introduced the video chat feature, notably during the Covid times and then removed then at the outset of it.

Part of the reason was given as that the usage dropped? How is that possible? All of the matches that were being made every day and every month, most did not want to have a face to face chat with each other. Ready to take the plunge into a relationship without using the option to interact first on video calls. The verdict is out.

It is the video introduction that made a novice dating site like MeetOutside to be the star with growing members in 2020 with the inset of Covid as it already had the video dating and video chat tools in place embedded into the website and the Android app. This made this dating app gain considerable members in the USA, UK, Europe and around the world. With most of the dating profiles having live verification, the impersonation is no longer an issue.

While any man or woman can take you for a ride on a dating website, at least you know that it is not a guy pretending to be a woman and sending you photos. That is something every man would want to avoid when using an online dating app.

It will be tougher now for the scammers for sure. As said, it is starting to put the impersonators out of business. As always, the scamsters and the wrong doers are always a step ahead of the game.

The innovators keep coming with ideas to throw them off balance, but if a woman falls in love with a guy who is out to get her account details or marry her for the money and then divorce to find another partner, then there is nothing much that can be done about that or in other words, it is more of a human error than the shortcoming of the dating platforms in general. In the end, no matter the platform that you choose it is always about your own due diligence.
