Beware of Beautification Apps

[MrMan]

My wife showed me a video of an Indonesian woman she'd met that had a YouTube channel. On the YouTube channel, she looks like she is about 32, and an 8. She met the lady in real life, and she didn't look anything like the YouTube channel. She looked 40 and like a 4 or 5. It turns out, she used a beautification app-- not one that smooths out some blemishes, but one that made her look like an entirely different person-- Mission Impossible type stuff.

If they haven't figured it out, it won't take long for unattractive girls on online dating sites to figure out beautify themselves in streaming video. Just imagine a dude chats with a pretty 9 for six months and meets her, and she's a 4.

No one has any comments on this? Have you had any experience with women online whose looks are 90% computer-generated?

Just think of the dangers. Now even the unattractive Filippinas can scam guys out of money for the light bill online. Men who go online to date could waste months of their time and a plane ticket before finding out they were catfished by a 4...who actually went on video chat.

I met a Chinese girl who did that too from date in asia. I asked her why she put up photos that werent even her. She never had any explanation. Its unethical and deceptive to put up photos that look nothing like you. They arent even old photos. They look almost 100 percent different.
