Cherries for Neck Pain from Gout

montmorency cherries for gout and neck pain

Cherries combined with allopurinol reduced gout incidence by some 75% in this study.

Eating cherries reduces the risk of gout attacks, as does drinking cherry extract, according to new research published in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. Gout and neck pain may be connected in some patients, even though the condition is generally thought to affect the toes, hands, or other, more peripheral joints. In the follow-up to this study, 92% of gout attacks reported by patients were in the big toe but the serum build-up of uric acid that causes gout symptoms can lead to uric acid crystals forming in any of the joints. Alcohol, high-purine foods and use of diuretics are all thought to increase the risk of gout, which is also linked to a metabolic issue.

Cherries Back on Top for Gout Treatment

While cherries have been used as a natural remedy for gout pain for many years the evidence supporting their use has remained elusive, even resulting in some supplement companies becoming the target of the FDA for misleading advertising and marketing practices. It may soon be prime time for such companies, however, as this research suggests a 45% reduction in risk of gout attack following two days of cherry extract consumption.

Allopurinol and Cherries for 75% Reduction in Gout Risk

The research was carried out by Yuqing Zhang, DSci, professor of medicine and epidemiology at Boston University School of Medicine. Along with colleagues, Dr Zhang, noted a 75% reduction in gout attacks in patients taking the cherry extract along with allopurinol, a common gout medication. Alone, allopurinol reduced attacks by 53%, with the cherry extract reducing risk by 32%, demonstrating the benefits of combination therapy. Those patients consuming cherries, rather than the extract, had a 35% lower risk of gout attacks in the two days following consumption of the fruit.

Gout Flare-Ups

Patients with gout were recruited for the study following diagnosis by a physician and they were asked when their gout started, what symptoms they experienced, medications they were taking and potential risk factors that could trigger gouty flare-ups and symptoms such as neck pain from gout. The study used the patients as their own controls by assessing them for two-day periods with and without the cherry extracts or cherries.


How Many Cherries Are Enough to Lower Gout Risk?

A serving of cherries was defined as a half-cup or ten to twelve cherries, although the researchers did not pay particular attention to the type of cherries used. Montmorency cherries have been marketed previously as a treatment for gout, over and above the cherries generally available in the grocery store. The benefit of cherry consumption, or cherry extract consumption increased up to three servings over two days, with no additional benefit seen at higher consumption levels.

How Helpful is this Study?

This study looked predominantly at older, white, male sufferers of gout, which could affect the applicability to others suffering with the condition. The average age of participants was fifty-four, 88% were white and 78% were male. Many already consumed some cherries with fresh cherries the most common source (35%) but with some consuming cherry extract (2%) or both (5%). The protective effect was still present even after accounting for patients’ body mass, purine intake, alcohol use, diuretics, gout medications and sex.

How Might Cherries Help Gout?

The proposed mechanism behind the ability of cherries to reduce gout is that the fruit increases glomerular filtration or reduces tubular reabsorption, thus reducing uric acid levels. Cherries also contain high levels of anthocyanins, potent anti-inflammatories, but the researchers are careful to note that they do not recommend, on the basis of these findings, that patients abandon conventional medicine for neck pain and other symptoms of gout in favor of drinking cherry extract. There is also the worry that added consumption of cherries may lead to weight gain and extra stress on the joints, as well as increasing risk of diabetes, systemic inflammation and arthritis or other joint conditions.

The Future of Gout Treatment

Randomized clinical trials to assess the efficacy of cherry extracts over current gout medications is warranted it seems, but in the meantime physicians may be a little more confident in answering patients’ queries about nonpharmacological ways to reduce disease burden from gout. Cherries may prevent gout flares and neck pain from the condition but patients should exercise caution over ceasing any medications prescribed for the condition.

    Pros and cons
    No matter how dubious a site may be, there are usually some redeeming aspects. In the case of Flirt.com, however, the “positives” come off as thinly veiled criticisms:

    PositivesNegatives
    No real women on the site
    You can’t read messages or reply to them unless you pay
    Even if you pay for a membership, none of the “women” will reply to you
    Chatting and messaging
    My messaging experience on this website would be great if there were real users on it. The layout is so intuitive and easy to use but any attempt to talk to someone brings you to this:

    Payment page to reply to a message

    Even when I got a pop-up window in the corner like the one below, I can’t reply. The moment I clicked in the text field to reply, I’m taken to that same subscription page.

    Pop-up message

    It’s quite disheartening, really. Yakf3 assured me that I wouldn’t regret meeting her, yet it seems I may never get the chance now. This problem persisted with every bot that messaged me.

    As illustrated in our recommendation, some messages don’t even reveal their initial content. You receive a notification that someone messaged you, but to view it, you must upgrade to a premium account.

    Try Flirt.com
    We like to do a lot of dating site reviews here at Beyond Ages to eliminate fake sites and time wasters. Since your online dating experience can only be as good as the website you use, it’s an important factor. By pointing you in the right direction with a detailed review, you can spend more time on actual dates. That’s how it’s meant to work, right?

    You need to be using at least one or two of the top dating apps right now if you want to get any real results. So many people exclusively look online now, thanks social distancing, that you can’t avoid it even if you want to. Fortunately there are a few great options out there for most people, you just need to do your research first.

    How we reviewed Flirt.com
    A lot of the reviews seem to cover the site based on a cursory glance. Rather than just talking about how the site looks and how I assume it would function, I want to go deeper.
    I’ll always set up a free profile, only filling out the mandatory fields at first. What I’m looking for here is to see if I’ll receive a bunch of inbox spam. Fake dating websites will often have a bunch of fake accounts that try to fool you into signing up for their premium service. Since no real user would message a blank profile, a busy inbox straight away means you’re seeing spambots.

    No matter how this turns out, I’ll then use the site for a week or two with this free account. I’ll add profile photos and complete my bio like normal. My aim is to set up as many dates as possible as a free user. I’m looking to see if it’s even possible and if so, how the experience compares to some of the more popular sites. After that, I move on to a paid account several weeks after that. I want to see if the premium perks make it any easier for me to set up dates.

    All in all, I end up with a far better understanding of what it’s like to actually use the site. This makes for a far more informative review. If I can save just one person from being scammed, all this effort is totally worthwhile.

    Our Full Flirt.com Review: Fun or None?
    No need to hide the conclusion for this site all the way at the bottom. It’s part of a massive network of fake dating websites that seem to point back to TopOffers.com. If you’re not familiar with this network, I’d suggest reading through the rest of Flirt review anyway. The more you can understand and look out for these fake sites, the safer your credit card will be.

    AFF (which you can try for free) is one of the largest hookup sites out there right now and where we’ve seen guys especially get good results, which makes it Flirt.com’s biggest competitor. A great first step to any review is a brief comparison between the best option out there (AFF) and Flirt.

    So, below is a quick comparison so you can see how the two stack up.

    Our Recommendation
    In all honesty, Flirt.com disappoints on almost every front except usability. While the website’s layout is user-friendly and easy to navigate, it serves no real purpose when the only “women” I ended up conversing with turned out to be individuals located who knows where. Overall, my experience left much to be desired.

    The initial giveaway was the profiles themselves. Most of the profiles I encountered were nearly empty, containing only basic information. I frequently encountered profiles of women seeking men aged 18-96, which deviates from the norm where most dating apps feature users with more specific criteria for potential matches.

    Here is a screenshot of the typical interactions I experienced with users who messaged me. In my experience, nobody initiates a conversation like this. Typically, women would begin with a simple “hi,” “hello,” or a comment about your profile. However, the messages I received from Flirt.com users appeared to be generated by bots. It immediately put me on guard, signaling that I was dealing with a low-quality site primarily focused on coaxing users into subscribing to their premium services.

    Questionable message 1

    Questionable message 2

    When you compare it to the top sites out there now, like AFF, it looks even worse.

    I was looking for a hookup, so I used AFF instead. They boast over 60 million (real) users and are specifically targeted at hookups. I can send a handful of messages and expect a few replies even if my messages might be branded as “generic”. It’s infinitely better than giving this dodgy network your hard-earned money.

    If AFF doesn’t do it for you, we recently reviewed all of the top dating apps and websites out there. Have a look through that list and see what appeals to you most.

    How Did I Recognize That This Site Was Suspicious?
    After spending extensive time writing detailed dating site reviews, I’ve become acquainted with larger networks in the industry. In the case of TopOffers, a significant portion of their websites seems to share the same template and tactics. I’ve examined and reviewed these sites, and I could quickly discern that Flirt.com was just another site in their lineup of subpar dating platforms. Take a look at the five other sites within their network, and you’ll notice the striking similarity. As evident, Flirt.com closely resembles them as well.

    Site design similar to other sites
    Site design similar to other sites

    Other sites with a similar design

    They seem to register a collection of cringe domain names like “Shagaholic.com” then duplicate the site over and over. About the only thing that really changes is the color scheme, honestly. So, the moment I logged into with my free account I knew exactly what to expect and I wasn’t surprised.

    hey seem to register an array of cringe-worthy domain names like “Shagaholic.com” and replicate the same site repeatedly. The primary difference typically lies in the color scheme. Consequently, the moment I logged into my free account, I immediately recognized what to expect, and I was far from surprised.

    What Is This “Top Offers” You Keep Mentioning? As I delved deeper into writing more dating site reviews, I began noticing recurring names in the footer. The more closely I examined, the more connections I unearthed. It turns out this network comprises a whopping 218 fake dating websites! Most of these fall under one of six shell companies:

    Bulova Invest Ltd
    Together Networks Holdings Limited
    Nelfor Services Limited
    Timespace Holdings Limited
    Kingsrock Holdings Ltd
    Northlock Holdings Ltd
    If you ever encounter any of these names in a dating website’s footer, it’s time to cancel your account. In my years of scrutinizing dating sites, I knew that any site affiliated with these companies would adopt the same template, employ the same tactics, and ultimately disappoint users—no meaningful connections, money wasted, and the looming concern that my credit card details might be misused.

    What Makes These Sites So Dubious?
    A legitimate question indeed and one that deserves an answer. In essence, nothing about the 218 sites within their network is genuine, but they employ tactics to feign authenticity. I would incessantly receive messages from profiles on the site, but they were all either hidden behind a paywall or required payment to reply. These would typically be flirtatious messages from bots aiming to deceive me into subscribing to a premium account. With any site resorting to such tactics, I could never recommend divulging your credit card information.

    What makes these sites so bad?
    This is a fair question and an important one to answer. In short, nothing about the 218 sites in their network are legitimate, but they use tactics to pretend otherwise. I would constantly receive messages from profiles on the site but they’re all behind a paywall or I had to pay to reply. These will be flirty messages from a bot that tried to trick me into paying for a premium account. With any site that’s going to use tactics like these, I could never suggest handing over your credit card information.

    Conversation behind a paywall
    Conversation behind a paywall

    Moreover, as I discovered in my Flirt review, they will utilize your information to populate their other websites as well. They replicate your profile on other dubious “dating” platforms, making you unwittingly endorse their bots.

    It’s essentially a colossal affiliate network—where you are the product. As the saying goes, “If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product.”

    My Advice: The moment you encounter this template and receive suspicious messages from “users” claiming to be single women interested in meeting up, run. Be vigilant for messages that feel inauthentic. While users on this site may appear overly eager to interact, exercise caution. Chances are, they are merely trying to coax you into subscribing without any assurance of an actual meetup.

    Instead of squandering your time on sites like Flirt.com, I recommend opting for a more trustworthy dating platform. If you’re seeking hookups, I suggest using Adult FriendFinder (AFF). In my experience, no other platform surpasses AFF when it comes to facilitating casual encounters. Unlike Tinder, where your profile picture often dictates your entire experience, AFF places a more significant emphasis on genuine sexual chemistry. Furthermore, you have the advantage of filtering users based on your preferences, ensuring you find plenty of singles who align with your desires. Need more details? Check out our full review of Adult FriendFinder to know more about why we always recommend this site!

    Between Adult FriendFinder and Flirt.com, the choice is clear, and I wholeheartedly endorse AFF. I believe you should too!

    Want to learn more about more fake dating sites like Flirt.com? Read our popular guide, The List of Fake Dating Sites You Should Avoid, and learn about some commonly-known and not-so-commonly-known scam sites out there:

    Author: Tom Senkus, Dating And Relationship Expert

    Excerpt: “Scammer dating sites often use overly attractive profiles to entice users. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    There are a couple of signs to look for when screening overly attractive profiles:

    All of their photos look professional and possibly sourced from a modeling agency

    None of their photos have local landmarks or locations that match their stated location

    Their profile has “salesy” language that seems to be flattering to the reader without any specifics (“I’m looking for an older man that’s looking to settle down…”)

    Their profile seems to be generated by AI (artificial intelligence)

    Overtly sexual language meant to entice users

    Sales funnels like OnlyFans or contacting on alternative messaging platforms (like Snapchat for trading pics)

    A large difference between the quality of profiles for legitimate profiles versus ones you suspect to be fake. Not to be negative, but exceptionally model-tier attractive people tend to not use dating apps regularly (or they use exclusive luxury dating apps,). If you find too many attractive women on a relatively new app, for instance, you can reasonably assume that the developers are “padding” the available matches.”

    Expert Publications on Online Dating Site Scams
    The rabbit hole goes deep when it comes to online dating scams and the behavior of vast criminal networks around the world. If you’re curious to learn more about avoiding scams, there are plenty of academic studies where you can learn about which scams are more prevalent, how sites are attempting to prevent illegal/manipulative behavior, and more:

    Ignatius Hua Nyam – Lecturer, Department of Liberal Studies/Directorate of Policing Training Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil-Kano State- Nigeria

    “There are several reasons behind the propagation of online scams. An individual’s greed of sharing the wealth with a specificwealthy online partner is one of the reasons. Poverty also drives desperate individuals into cybercrime that involves romance scams. Some victims are affected because they did not know any better. While their desire to have emotional attachment trap others.

    Chenyang Wang

    “In an era of widespread mass marketing scams on the Internet, many victims have reported varying degrees of financial loss and psychological damage after encountering lottery scams and advance payment scams. Among them, the emotional damage to victims of online dating scams may be even more severe because the whole scam process involves mental attachment, sexual abuse, and relationship breakdown. There is little help and support for victims throughout the scam process and even after the scam is over, which not only makes it difficult for victims to get timely and professional assistance after experiencing online scams, but victims even run the risk of being scammed by criminals again afterward, so timely help and professional psychological treatment for victims is of positive significance. In previous studies, there are fewer reports summarizing and analyzing the psychological conditions of victims.”

    Fangzhou Wang, Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Texas at Arlington

    “Our observations indicate that scammers not only diversify their approaches to prompt more responses, such as appealing to their romantic relationships, asking for identifying information and requesting victims switch to private chat platforms, but they also use several techniques for getting victims to overcome their misgivings about sending the scammers more money. For example, scammers subtly persuade victims to see themselves as holding more power in the interaction than they do.”

    Pros and cons
    No matter how dubious a site may be, there are usually some redeeming aspects. In the case of Flirt.com, however, the “positives” come off as thinly veiled criticisms:

    PositivesNegatives
    No real women on the site
    You can’t read messages or reply to them unless you pay
    Even if you pay for a membership, none of the “women” will reply to you
    Chatting and messaging
    My messaging experience on this website would be great if there were real users on it. The layout is so intuitive and easy to use but any attempt to talk to someone brings you to this:

    Payment page to reply to a message

    Even when I got a pop-up window in the corner like the one below, I can’t reply. The moment I clicked in the text field to reply, I’m taken to that same subscription page.

    Pop-up message

    It’s quite disheartening, really. Yakf3 assured me that I wouldn’t regret meeting her, yet it seems I may never get the chance now. This problem persisted with every bot that messaged me.

    As illustrated in our recommendation, some messages don’t even reveal their initial content. You receive a notification that someone messaged you, but to view it, you must upgrade to a premium account.

    What Can You Do With a Free Membership on Flirt.com?
    Curious about the features available with a free membership on Flirt.com? Here’s what you get:

    A chance to become a star: The only real opportunity with a free profile is the potential to unwittingly become a face associated with various brands. Who wouldn’t want their image linked to “Shagaholic,” right?

    Advertisements
    A significant red flag indicating that a dating site isn’t what it claims to be is the presence of numerous advertisements. Unlike legitimate sites like AFF or eHarmony, which sustain themselves through subscriptions, Flirt.com seems to thrive on ad revenue.

    Interestingly, Flirt.com doesn’t display ads anywhere. While most lookalike sites I’ve reviewed feature numerous ads, Flirt took a different approach. Since it’s part of an affiliate network, ad revenue alone likely sustains it.

    Need to Block Ads?
    PC Magazine has a great article on how to block ads you’ll come across on dating sites like Firt. Here’s a great excerpt from Max Eddy, Lead Security Analyst at PC Magazine, in their guide “The Best Ad Blockers for 2023”:

    “While legitimate ads can be annoying enough, some ads are deceptive or even dangerous. Some take over your screen, claiming to be from law enforcement and demanding you pay a hefty (and spurious) fine. Some online ads pretend to be from antivirus scanners, proclaiming you’ve been infected and need to download their malware protection solution, which might itself be malicious or simply a way to scare you into buying a subscription you don’t need.”

    Safety & Precautions: Potential Emotional Risks of Online Dating
    One of the little-discussed phenomena about online dating is the emotional side of hookup culture. In a recent article from The Cut, a number of academics and professionals remark on the risks that men and women may endure when seeking relationships online. Do yourself a favor and read the original article (link here). To give you a preview, here are some of the most relevant quotes:

    Lisa Wade, associate professor at Tulane University and the author of American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus, says she has noticed most of her college students are, at best, ambivalent about hookup culture due to the negative connotations that come with this type of sexual interaction: “This is because of awkward hookup interactions, heartbreak, and women feeling disrespected by male sexual partners and having to constantly face the risk of sexual violence.” Wade also makes the case that college students may “feel excluded or targeted because of their race, class, ability, looks, gender identity, or gender expression”.
    Sex therapist Dr. Lexx Brown-James encourages discretion when it comes to casual relationships. “What people forget about sexual liberation,” says Brown-James, “is that it’s also the right to say no. We’re starting to understand that the conversation around empowerment needs more nuances than either going out and having lots of sex as the only means of sex positivity.”

    Frequently Asked Questions About Flirt.com
    To round off this Flirt.com review, I’ll address some of the most commonly asked questions. This should provide a comprehensive overview, but feel free to reach out if you have additional inquiries.

    What Is Flirt.com?
    Flirt.com is purportedly a dating site. However, you won’t encounter any genuine users here, and the platform reserves the right to use your content for their own purposes.

    Who Actually Owns Flirt?
    Flirt is owned by Blue Vision, which also operates a network of sites following similar questionable practices.

    How Can I Contact Flirt.com?
    You can contact them via email at support@flirt.com.

    Is Flirt Real?
    Yes, Flirt.com exists as a real site. However, it’s important to note that the platform is riddled with suspicious profiles that often don’t respond to messages.

    Is Flirt.com Legit?
    Not at all. Flirt.com is part of an affiliate network and is among the 218 subpar dating websites designed to collect your credit card information.

    Is Flirt a Scam or Fake?
    It could be considered a scam, or at the very least, a dubious site. Regardless, Flirt.com doesn’t genuinely facilitate flirting with anyone. It appears more interested in obtaining your credit card information.

    Is Flirt.com Safe?
    No, Flirt.com is not a safe platform.

    What Are the Alternatives to Flirt.com?
    Flirt.com isn’t worth your time. Instead, explore our reviews of the best hookup apps and websites to find a more reliable and authentic dating experience.

    How Does Flirt.com Work?
    Flirt.com operates by masquerading as a legitimate dating site. However, once you create an account, you’ll encounter one paywall after another, urging you to purchase a premium account. Even after upgrading, the “eager” women looking to chat with you often fall silent.

    Is There a Flirt App?
    No, Flirt.com does not have a dedicated app.

    How Do You Send Messages on Flirt?
    As a paid member, you can simply click “Chat” on any user’s profile and initiate a conversation. However, since all profiles appear to be bots, there’s little point in doing so. As a free user, clicking “Chat” will redirect you to the subscription page, urging you to sign up for a paid account.

    How Much Does Flirt.com Cost?
    For those curious about Flirt.com’s pricing plans, here they are:

    One day: $0.99
    One week: $7.00 ($1 a day)
    One month: $28.80 ($0.96 a day)
    Three months: $48.60 ($0.54 a day)
    How Can You Use Flirt for Free?
    By default, when you create a Flirt.com account, you receive a free membership. This allows you to search for members and receive messages. But in my experience, you can’t send messages unless you pay for a membership.

    Online dating is a fantastic thing when you find a website or app that really works for you. With estimates as high as 8,000 dating sites available worldwide, however, it can be hard to discern which dating websites are complete wastes of time. In preparing for this Flirt.com review, I saw a very familiar template and knew exactly what I was looking at. Here’s a sneak peek:

    We like to do a lot of dating site reviews here at Beyond Ages to eliminate fake sites and time wasters. Since your online dating experience can only be as good as the website you use, it’s an important factor. By pointing you in the right direction with a detailed review, you can spend more time on actual dates. That’s how it’s meant to work, right?

    You need to be using at least one or two of the top dating apps right now if you want to get any real results. So many people exclusively look online now, thanks social distancing, that you can’t avoid it even if you want to. Fortunately there are a few great options out there for most people, you just need to do your research first.

    How we reviewed Flirt.com
    A lot of the reviews seem to cover the site based on a cursory glance. Rather than just talking about how the site looks and how I assume it would function, I want to go deeper.
    I’ll always set up a free profile, only filling out the mandatory fields at first. What I’m looking for here is to see if I’ll receive a bunch of inbox spam. Fake dating websites will often have a bunch of fake accounts that try to fool you into signing up for their premium service. Since no real user would message a blank profile, a busy inbox straight away means you’re seeing spambots.

    No matter how this turns out, I’ll then use the site for a week or two with this free account. I’ll add profile photos and complete my bio like normal. My aim is to set up as many dates as possible as a free user. I’m looking to see if it’s even possible and if so, how the experience compares to some of the more popular sites. After that, I move on to a paid account several weeks after that. I want to see if the premium perks make it any easier for me to set up dates.

    All in all, I end up with a far better understanding of what it’s like to actually use the site. This makes for a far more informative review. If I can save just one person from being scammed, all this effort is totally worthwhile.

    Moreover, as I discovered in my Flirt review, they will utilize your information to populate their other websites as well. They replicate your profile on other dubious “dating” platforms, making you unwittingly endorse their bots.

    It’s essentially a colossal affiliate network—where you are the product. As the saying goes, “If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product.”

    My Advice: The moment you encounter this template and receive suspicious messages from “users” claiming to be single women interested in meeting up, run. Be vigilant for messages that feel inauthentic. While users on this site may appear overly eager to interact, exercise caution. Chances are, they are merely trying to coax you into subscribing without any assurance of an actual meetup.

    Instead of squandering your time on sites like Flirt.com, I recommend opting for a more trustworthy dating platform. If you’re seeking hookups, I suggest using Adult FriendFinder (AFF). In my experience, no other platform surpasses AFF when it comes to facilitating casual encounters. Unlike Tinder, where your profile picture often dictates your entire experience, AFF places a more significant emphasis on genuine sexual chemistry. Furthermore, you have the advantage of filtering users based on your preferences, ensuring you find plenty of singles who align with your desires. Need more details? Check out our full review of Adult FriendFinder to know more about why we always recommend this site!

    Between Adult FriendFinder and Flirt.com, the choice is clear, and I wholeheartedly endorse AFF. I believe you should too!

    Want to learn more about more fake dating sites like Flirt.com? Read our popular guide, The List of Fake Dating Sites You Should Avoid, and learn about some commonly-known and not-so-commonly-known scam sites out there:

    Author: Tom Senkus, Dating And Relationship Expert

    Excerpt: “Scammer dating sites often use overly attractive profiles to entice users. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    There are a couple of signs to look for when screening overly attractive profiles:

    All of their photos look professional and possibly sourced from a modeling agency

    None of their photos have local landmarks or locations that match their stated location

    Their profile has “salesy” language that seems to be flattering to the reader without any specifics (“I’m looking for an older man that’s looking to settle down…”)

    Their profile seems to be generated by AI (artificial intelligence)

    Overtly sexual language meant to entice users

    Sales funnels like OnlyFans or contacting on alternative messaging platforms (like Snapchat for trading pics)

    A large difference between the quality of profiles for legitimate profiles versus ones you suspect to be fake. Not to be negative, but exceptionally model-tier attractive people tend to not use dating apps regularly (or they use exclusive luxury dating apps,). If you find too many attractive women on a relatively new app, for instance, you can reasonably assume that the developers are “padding” the available matches.”

    Expert Publications on Online Dating Site Scams
    The rabbit hole goes deep when it comes to online dating scams and the behavior of vast criminal networks around the world. If you’re curious to learn more about avoiding scams, there are plenty of academic studies where you can learn about which scams are more prevalent, how sites are attempting to prevent illegal/manipulative behavior, and more:

    Ignatius Hua Nyam – Lecturer, Department of Liberal Studies/Directorate of Policing Training Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil-Kano State- Nigeria

    “There are several reasons behind the propagation of online scams. An individual’s greed of sharing the wealth with a specificwealthy online partner is one of the reasons. Poverty also drives desperate individuals into cybercrime that involves romance scams. Some victims are affected because they did not know any better. While their desire to have emotional attachment trap others.

    Chenyang Wang

    “In an era of widespread mass marketing scams on the Internet, many victims have reported varying degrees of financial loss and psychological damage after encountering lottery scams and advance payment scams. Among them, the emotional damage to victims of online dating scams may be even more severe because the whole scam process involves mental attachment, sexual abuse, and relationship breakdown. There is little help and support for victims throughout the scam process and even after the scam is over, which not only makes it difficult for victims to get timely and professional assistance after experiencing online scams, but victims even run the risk of being scammed by criminals again afterward, so timely help and professional psychological treatment for victims is of positive significance. In previous studies, there are fewer reports summarizing and analyzing the psychological conditions of victims.”

    Fangzhou Wang, Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Texas at Arlington

    “Our observations indicate that scammers not only diversify their approaches to prompt more responses, such as appealing to their romantic relationships, asking for identifying information and requesting victims switch to private chat platforms, but they also use several techniques for getting victims to overcome their misgivings about sending the scammers more money. For example, scammers subtly persuade victims to see themselves as holding more power in the interaction than they do.”

    Pros and cons
    No matter how dubious a site may be, there are usually some redeeming aspects. In the case of Flirt.com, however, the “positives” come off as thinly veiled criticisms:

    I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely price enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the net can be much more helpful than ever before.

    Just about all of whatever you say is supprisingly appropriate and it makes me wonder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light before. Your article really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular topic goes. However at this time there is actually 1 factor I am not too comfortable with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the main idea of your point, let me see just what all the rest of the visitors have to point out.Well done.
