I was lured off site twice. First time, a performer and I had an onsite "friendship" for over a year. We communicated offsite. I was convinced it may be a friendship. He kept asking for small amounts of money, then for more and I stopped when the "meeting" was becoming more and more out of reach and he became more and more distant as I sent less money. Then poof, ghosted.
The next time, I came back to the site and I befriended another performer. I was more wary, but he decided to strike out on his own offsite and he wanted to maintain our friendship. Then, a conversation started on an app, we share "moments and photos" of our lives or rather who knows what from his life...probably reconstructed photos. He made it sound like a good friendship. It was one, two weeks.....Then BAM...the question. "I am really having a hard time and I'm not chatting anymore, so can you lend me some money since your are working, baby?" I said no, I had other responsibilities. End of conversation from him.
These friendships can seem very real here. Especially if you are normally socially awkward or just downright butt ugly like me. But they are not. They are here to perform. You are here to pay.
Don't try to make off with anyone offsite. It's not worth your time or money. And it's not real. No matter what you hear.
Just enjoy it for what it is, entertainment. The names are not real. There is NO relationship. Play, pay, leave...rinse, lather, repeat.
