Doing some research before committing to anything and wanted real firsthand experiences. Discord adult servers are surprisingly active but the good ones require vetting to join.
Never share your real last name, address, or workplace before meeting someone in person. Video call before you meet — fastest way to confirm someone is who they claim to be.
Basic precautions I follow:
- Separate email addresses for dating activity is just good hygiene.
- Tell a trusted friend where you're going and share your live location during a first meet.
- Payment requests from matches should always be treated as a scam regardless of the story.
