It seems like you would mostly be contacted by scammers and sex workers, right?

So has anyone ever met someone genuine from one of those hookup posts?

    Met someone from a hookup post once, and for a whole night it felt surprisingly real.
    We talked about random life stuff, hobbies, families, even future travel plans, and it all seemed genuine and effortless.
    The next day the tone shifted, links started showing up, and it slowly became obvious she was actually a sex worker fishing for clients, not a real connection.
    It stung a bit, not because of the hookup part, but because it reminded me how easy it is to mistake a well‑practiced script for genuine interest online.
