Why do {men} pose as single women on apps?

General question for the masses. Why do (what I am assuming as) men pose as single women looking for couples on apps?

Not asking how to find a third. We have in the past been successful with natural real world pulls. But we recently decided to give the apps a shot and it’s ugly.

I am seeing a trend of shitty AI comments. Meetup ducking: but the desire to keep the chat alive and well (I.e. stringing us along) and pic sharing.

We completely understand wanting to see the real unfiltered person. But we had one claim to be out of town for nye and was “horny” asking to send spicy pics but couldn’t because they were with family. Another asked for pics but don’t have to be naughty. So when the wife joked about verification pics to make sure we were all real the chat immediately went dead. All responses ended.

Curious what the draw is? Do a lot of new couples actually send nudes so it’s a free porn kink for 23 year olds? I just don’t get the “why”.

PSA for any newbies reading this. Yes. Real people exist in apps. But imo there are way more flakes. And real people want to really meet and decide if there’s anything there. Don’t get caught up in endless texting.
