This reminds me of a business trip that I went on before Covid. I stopped in a small town for dinner and the only place open was a bar. So I sat at the bar as required. Some woman sitting a couple of seats away started chatting me up - it wasn't flirting or anything, just bar talk. It was an older woman who, if I may speak frankly, was not probably going to have a lot of luck flirting. And she was pretty drunk, so it wasn't really very enjoyable to me. She was a real estate agent, and as she toddled away eventually she gave me her business card for some reason. It made me chuckle because for some reason Realtors always have their photos on business cards, and her photo was the most photoshopped thing ever. It made her look 10 years younger, 30 pounds lighter, and with a movie star face.
On that note, why do Realtors put their pictures on their business cards, yard signs, etc.? You don't see that in other professions. [Reply]

None of the realty crones in my neck of the woods have ever mastered anything in Photoshop beyond the Blur tool. They as sure hell know how to use that one though. Every time I drive by one of their signs I have to double check to make sure my contacts haven't fallen out. [Reply]
I think you are being a bit too obsessive and repetitive with her looks. I think people that do this like being the ones in control and controlling the conversation. They want someone vulnerable and I think this person probably senses you are messing with them. They look for the person who is emotionally hurting and needy. [Reply]

Also why do they seem to have a severe tilt to their photos? I mean why can't they just take their pictures straight up and down, but instead look like they are tilted over like the Leaning Tower of Pisa? [Reply]
In defense of KChiefs1 and this lame exchange, I'm pretty sure he's interacting with a bot. The answers/conversation are very similar to that bot app somebody posted on CP a few months back where the app is supposed to have some learning AI and develop a personality over time based on your interaction. I'm not sure what the end game is of whomever has set this up. Might be more of an identity theft or blackmail angle than straight up trying to get you to send money. There's probably a decent percentage of guys that would have sent a dick pic by now, so maybe that's something they just toss out a wide net for and harvest/blackmail. [Reply]
