    Online dating is basically like that. When i use a dating app, most women live close by and are Asian, mostly chinese. Which is interesting, because where i live, i see maybe 4 chinese people a year. They are all tea merchants and live with their sister/relatives and really want my whatsapp. They are often bots, but sometimes a real person takes over. I like to tell them outrageous shit, until a human has to take over. What i do now is that they always ask what i work, and i tell them i’m a tea merchant. Which either results in a unmatch, or a: cool, i’m a tea merchant. Some of them are really fucking good, and online dating will be gone for good if they get any better. I’m pretty sure a lot of chatbots talk to each other on these platforms, because they auto match anyone and either start talking or answer themselves

        I would guess that it’s either them noticing that they are wasting time or saying that you also are a “tea merchant” means that you are also doing the same scam and there is no point in 2 scammers wasting time talking to each other

          Oh. My small brained mind thought that the Asian people he met irl are actual tea merchants, not scammers pretending to be tea merchants.
