😂 Honestly… welcome to the modern dating apocalypse.
65 “suitors” on Threads and every single one waving a red flag? You’re not imagining it — this is exactly what’s happening out there.
What’s going on is a perfect storm:
• Low-effort access – scammers can message hundreds of people in minutes
• Algorithm exposure – one thoughtful or vulnerable post puts you straight in their crosshairs
• Emotional harvesting – they target people who appear kind, reflective, healing, or independent
• False abundance – lots of attention creates pressure to engage, but none of it is real
Most of these profiles follow the same tired script:
– Overly complimentary too fast
– “Looking for friendship” that turns intimate immediately
– Vague jobs, overseas work, sudden widower stories
– Disappearing on weekends or odd hours
– Asking to move off-platform quickly
It isn’t you.
It isn’t because you’re doing something wrong.
It’s because you’re visible, articulate, and emotionally intelligent — and that’s exactly who predators look for.
The world isn’t coming to an end… but online spaces have become a scavenger hunt for scammers 🙄
Best approach:
• Don’t reply
• Don’t explain
• Don’t educate
• Block and delete ruthlessly
Your discernment is working perfectly — that’s why you’re spotting them instantly.
Real connection doesn’t arrive in bulk.
It arrives quietly, consistently, and with receipts 😉
And honestly… Threads dating? That’s the Wild West 🤠
