At this point, social catfish should start their own dating service for all these people. They could talk to each other instead of getting scammed on the internet every other day 🙄
These Uncle and Aunties don't want someone of their age. They want boys and girls of their Grandchildren age, so even if Social Catfish open a dating site it will not work out with these Voracious Greedy Oldies. Pathetically Pathetic people. I have no Sympathy anymore for these absolutely Pathetic people.
@@setfreemiss These Old Uncle and Aunties want boys and girls of their Grandchildren age. Shameless pathetic greedy people, i feel no sympathy for these absolutely Pathetic greedy old people anymore.
Baffling isn't it. Out of a lot of these videos there seems to be a pattern they're nearly all older overweight unattractive people it's utter madness they believe the nonsense
Right!? You’d think “‘not once in my life has a model looking guy with an MD/6 figure income has chased me, this seems suspicious that 4 now want me on this dating website.”
Not just mirror, how about is she educated enough to keep up a convo with these Dr's and engineers? And, how world class is she to think they would be hand in hand going to events together. Can you imagine these guys in public with her romancing her across a 5 star restaurant?! Nothing makes sense at all!!!! I truly beleive they have a serious lack of awareness.
She needs a therapist not a husband. They are probably the same guy scamming her. Until she can be happy by herself she is not ready for a relationship.
@@lesleybrown1583 It's partly that indoctrination from childhood that makes people vulnerable to the magical thinking that gets them scammed. When you're brainwashed to believe in something without any evidence, you are easy to fool. That's also why so many Americans are wrapped up in idiotic conspiracy theories
@@lesleybrown1583 well dear - if that's the case - WHY aren't the churches doing something in the community to help people so they aren't so darn lonely and vulnerable - you know - like Jesus would do!
I thought it was the same scammer, because she made the comment when she was believing this guy was not coming home this other guy popped up wanting to be her friend. I believe the scammer knew he had played his scam out asking as he could so he just created another profile and started it over.
I'm 62 and have been alone since I was 49. There's no way I'm getting into a relationship with a man at this age. Everyone, MEN and WOMEN have too much baggage in their older years( bad past relationships, money problems, health issues, emotional problems...etc.) I've had a few men in real life show interest in me, but I just ignore them and move on. Travel, cook, spend time with children/grandchildren, sew, exercise, garden...find something to do. No man can solve your problems ladies!
Totally agree! Not saying that it's impossible to find a compatible mate, but usually the only men interested would be older, and the chances of becoming a nurse for him is greatly magnified! When you are young, it's possible to grow and change to be the best for your partner, but most people are set in their own ways by 50 or 60. It's funny to think about what reality would be like for 2 seniors to start living together and to witness all the quirks that may disgust the other!
Very well said indeed! Why at this age do most females appear to be desperate for a man when the greatest joy is freedom, doing what you love whenever and wherever you want, and not having to answer to anyone.
I’m 49 and I love being single. I don’t understand people who are so desperate for a partner. I think that’s why I don’t understand anyone they talk to on here. It baffles me.
I was widowed. I decided to make myself loveable. I worked with the homeless. I elder-sat for FREE. I adopted pets. I took care of family members a cooked and cleaned for shut-ins. If you think a 36 y.o. man wants a 61 y.o. woman, how dumb can you be? And I took care of myself. I ate right. I began exercising. I dressed better. And I found a lovely man, my age, not a Nigerian Prince, a hotel asst. manager. And I love him. But if he decides to bugger off....I stll have me I like me. Me is a sweet, generous woman who likes me enough to live alone with me if that is my fate. I want love, but (not to offend anyone) but weenie is free, lady. If you are paying for weenie you are wrong. If you are paying for weenie you are never gonna GET..You are wrong x 10, 000.
Absolutely! I'm only 20 but the way I see it, I'll always have me to support myself. If my partner isn't right then why cling on and destroy yourself, better to be alone than miserable. Look after yourself, you'll always be there for yourself even if others aren't
@@amemelia Amelia! How did you get so smart? Hope your friends listen to you. Letting the wrong people into your life can really destroy it. Keep sharing. Fairy tales do alot of damage. With your philosophy you are going to be a winner! Congratulations.
@@katherinelyle6500 I just rewatched @4:26 and I clearly misheard it the first time around. You said that your current family will become his family, which is fair enough. Sorry about that.
I once had a person tell me how beautiful I looked in my profile picture - it was of my black and white cat, George!! Katherine you don't need a person, what you need is a community of people, you don't have to be alone.
I once made a comment on a post about tampons and a super handsome stranger replied to my comment something like "I really like what you have to say. Please request me." I'm soooo sure a super hot guy cares what I think about tampons.
To be honest, good looking elderly men are rare and they probably will not have to search for a woman. So if such a guy contacts you out of the blue - run and don't get entangled in his web of lies.
@@ericzerkle5214 she has cancer and it’s never okay to comment on someone’s looks like that. People like you are the worst, you don’t even have a pic of yourself up. 🙄
They are basically paying for the attention they crave so badly so in a messed up way it's an exchange or transaction of sorts but the deceit is what is sad
@@lucyw.7597 yes but he also gives lots free subscriptions like this lady. U have to remember these people send strangers thousands of dollars. What ever he makes to help these people is well deserved . It’s honorable, compassionate way to help these people.

I love being by myself. More people should try it. Get to know yourself, people. Spend time doing peaceful fun things you enjoy. Hobbies. Nature. Travel. Etc. It’s really peaceful
I have a sister like this. She's never spent any time single. She's currently married to an unemployed alcoholic with narcissistic traits. I think being single would be preferable, but apparently she doesn't.
Anyone who starts off with hello beautiful is suspect, especially if you’re not beautiful. She needs to get someone to co-sign any bank withdrawals or checks.
1:22 OH, I just had a lightbulb moment! It's not only loneliness these folks suffer from, it's being alone after always having someone around since their 20s. That's why it's so important to be your own person before you get married. Otherwise, when something happens, either divorce or death, you aren't susceptible to crippling loneliness.
Exactly. I was married at 18. I am now going to be 73. I have never been without a male companion. I have been alone now 11 months. I have an emotional support animal that I won't leave home without. 80 lb 7 month old Labrador Retriever 😂
Yep. Eventually I was just ready somehow. Those men I dated as a very young woman thaaaank Goooodness I didn’t marry any of them. I was also okay with being single instead of clinging to the wrong guy.
Yes! Like a lot of the victims from what I can see married young and haven't had to even consider dating in decades. In that time the internet has evolved and they're likely to be less familiar with the norms and red flags, especially if they were stay at home parents or did a role not using the internet for other stuff much too. Heck, I have colleagues their age at work who can't handle PDFs and emails! Scammers dream 😪
This woman is extremely vulnerable based on her history of very poor decision making. Maybe her daughter can petition a court to become her guardian to protect her from herself.
She has a proven track record of extremely poor choices in men. Two habitual cheaters (who definitely never cheated or showed any signs of cheating before they married her), and a convicted felon. /slowclap
You can't petition the court to take away anyone's rights just because YOU don't agree with their choices. She can spend her money on whatever she wants. Collect starwars memorabilia, buy old clunkers and never fix them up, she can give to whatever charity she wants, or burn it if she wants... The only way you can take away someone's autonomy is if you can prove that she's got the money but not responsible enough to pay her bills. As long as her house and utilities are paid, you can't take her rights away. And some of you better be glad that you can't. Because I look at people who throw their money away on stupid hobbies or fake charities all the time.
People like you would take everyone else's kids away too if you could. But then whine when someone who doesn't agree with YOUR parenting, takes YOUR kids. And if any of you fell for the co vid vacc ine hoax, then maybe you are incapable of making your own Healthcare decisions? Do you see how this can all get out of hand? "I don't think like you so I will take away your rights!" 🙄
I’ll never understand why so many ppl are just incapable of being alone, especially when they have friends and family to fall back on. I’m nearly 40, never been married, and I love my own company. Romantic relationships are certainly nice to have and I enjoy when they come around, but I absolutely don’t require another person to validate me
I agree with you. Some people unfortunately can't be alone. P.s. this woman has a loving daughter and granddaughter in her life so she should spend her money on them and enjoy with them.
I think its because society makes them feel like ending alone without a partner is the worst thing that can happen to someone in life. This is why the character of the “crazy cat lady” is looked as a failure and with shame.
I understand loneliness but I feel like if you don't experience it when you're and at your pique you might not understand it or think you'll ever survive it if jt happens to you. But I actually like myself and like my own company. Even when I got in a permanent relationship, I like my own company
They're like gambling addicts sitting by a slot machine. They put in money, and sometimes they get something lovey-dovey that feeds their fantasies about being with that fantasy person and that gives them a dopamin rush, and sometimes they get promises of a lot of money, which also gives them that dopamin rush, and sometimes they get a message that they need to insert more money and they keep going in hope of getting the dopamin rush again and again.
You're right, she does have an addiction like countless of others who fell and will fall into the deceitful world of "romance scammers". All addicts spend money that they do not have just to feed their addictions. Truthfully, I do not know if I feel "pity" , or "bad" for these people as no one forced these people to become addicted to their addictions. God Bless
They're also chasing their 'gambling' losses. If they stop paying they lose the chance of the big win, which is their potential partner coming home to them to both pay them back and marry them.
My question is the same for most of these women. Where are they getting the money to send? I am single and work full time and I don't have money to throw at people! These people need serious counseling.
Big social security checks from the government. Unfortunately, future generations wont' be able to benefit in the same way as the government is broke and the system will fail.
Alot are on disability living allowance & get a check every single month & that’s the attraction smdfh my lady sat on up here saying she needs a caretaker & she right as hell this lady vulnerable af
These stories make me glad I'm too insecure to believe a rich, handsome guy online would randomly fall in love me with me after meeting on a social site.. and even more glad that I'm not someone who feels lonely being alone.
I didn’t attract men that looked like that when I was 25 so unless I strike it rich, I’m obviously not attracting them now. People need to be brutally honest with themselves
@cynthialevi4520 exactly. I know for a fact I am not the girl that attracts good lookers , I know that ever since I was 15 I am 44 today and that still remains true.
I'm sorry but that woman is emotionally fragile ,she needs someone to handle her finances and need to go to therapy .this is the results of emotional damages
😅 She was even cheating on her scammers with other scammers, she needs to take up hobbies, enjoy time with friends and spend time with her family, you don't have to be lonely alone and romance is not the only cure for loneliness.
I am 59 and I’ve been single all my life but the only time I ever felt “lonely“ was when I was going through cancer treatment. I am the youngest child and I’m used to being alone Because my older siblings were all out of the house while I was still young. Being by myself it’s no big deal to me. I always find something to do.
@@mildredpierce4506 I have had Girlfriends too from here & there I am 43 disability. I have my collection to keep me occupied. Makes me much, much more happier I think any person ever could. One friend of mine picked the wrong girl. & She made him package up all his stuff. & she didn't want to see any of that. I thought it was stupid. There are things can make you much happier then having someone right?
4 guys younger than her suddenly tell her ‘i love you, all of them have sudden problems and ask for money and she had no clue they are just using her for money. Does she even have a mirror in her house? Does she think that such guys can fall in love with her in just a few online talks? No pity on her, she did it to herself coz she can't accept the reality - a beautiful man with money will not look for love with an old woman online.
Right, she is the type that would reject a man in her league for these scammers that is why you can't have too much pity considering that she wasn't acting faithfully by messaging many of the scanners other accounts
Aww, Drew’s disappointment and commitment to his job really shine through this episode. I’m glad this lady is getting some help. Strange that she’s so heavily worried about cheating but maintained relationships with more than 1 persona.
Right?! Im gonna keep talking to both of these scammers and which one comes home first! Are you serious, she believes them? Why would you have to pay for a man, what does that make you?
It's exactly a new form of addiction. It temporarily provides escapism from reality and fills an emotional void just as drug or alcohol would do and they seem to just cannot wait for the next hit of high.
I keep thinking of supposedly intelligent, accomplished people who join cults. They hand over all their worldly goods and blindly believe whatever the cult leader tells them. It's the same mentality.
You can't help people who don't want to be helped. She knew she was getting scammed. She'll keep doing it. She seems to be a rather selfish person. She claims to hate cheaters but she was talking about being in love with different men at the same time? Hum...
Can not fall in love with someone online. Especially never met them or video chat. Or never talk to them. Or. They love you. It not real. This is their script they use all the time. Dr, or engineer, or military men don’t need money. So I hope she really get some help. If your lonely. Think about the family you have. You don’t always have a man or woman in your life. If meant to be the God will send you one. Not the devils online scamming. Your a business.
Yes! Not trying to be mean, but she seems to be a bit “slow” and doesn’t seem to understand the real world. The three ex-husbands seem to be just using her as well.
I think she is probably from Appalachia (I'm originally from Ohio. Right on the west Virginia border) people there are backwards! My daughter joined the peace corps when she graduated from college and went to Ethiopia. One of my now ex husband's hillbilly cousins asked if it was far from Ohio
@@darcylett486To be fair, though, many American public schools are absolutely atrocious, they graduate kids who can barely read, can't do math, and don't have the slightest clue of geography. It's not just in Appalachia. If I had kids I'd homeschool!
Ok, here is a basic tip: Normal people do not send you pics of their passport or driver's license. They only do this to try and convince people that they're real. A real person doesn't have to do this to prove who they are. Same thing with those obviously fake pics of them holding up a piece of paper that says "I love you (insert name)" with a date on it.
@@da__lang - they were cheating on her. And her family loves her. So she is probably a quite good natured lady. Some good people are just extremely naive and magnet for users.
Drew said it, but we were thinking it all along: All of her Internet boyfriends are probably the same scammer. On Republican Singles we've found that when a scammer identifies a target who will look past their initial sloppiness and ignore the red flags, they will repeatedly try and target the same person. For instance, we caught one from Nigeria targeting a woman so we deleted his account. He then created a new account, using a VPN, and with a different name and different pictures, and proceeded to target the same woman. So we deleted the second account and warned the member that she had been talking to a scammer and was now being targeted and to be cautious. Also, there's one thing worse than being alone: being alone and broke. STOP SENDING MONEY TO STRANGERS!
Unfortunately, she’s most likely basing her self-worth on the male attention that she gets, no matter what kind. She’s not gonna stop. She needs help. Btw, no effort given editing those scam photos. Lazy job. She really just fooled herself.
Before you feel sorry for these people, remember that time and money could have been spent with her daughter and grandchild. In her head she thinks she’s only deserving of the company of a handsome rich doctor.
I don't have sympathy for these absolutely Pathetic greedy uncle and aunties anymore. These are some shameless pathetic scumbag losers, how on earth they think of dating / marrying a boy / girl of their Grandchildren age? So fucking disgusting.
I think the lady of this episode is having some issues regarding herself because she’s unable to be alone. Or in solitude and at peace with herself, if you will, which is a sign of healthy, regulated mental state.
😳 Being alone is NOT scary. Single life is great - do whatever you want - whenever you want. People seem so desperate to be with someone ANYONE!!!! This woman was married three times and scammed numerous times in her obsession with NOT being alone. Sad.
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat Being single is great. I have never been married and have no intentions to. I am just thinking maybe her prospect of being alone is scary.
@@barbarat5729 Really you're gonna pretend you didn't notice she has serve learning difficulties, that's like going "oh what why can't you walk" to someone who has no legs. This is someone who has been let down and I'm worried you're being let down so I'm sorry or you're a nasty person making more fun of this poor woman.
Love yourself. This whole “I don’t want to be alone” but you’re dishing out money to strangers because they call you “my queen” and say they love you?! Love yourself!!!!!!!
These online "relationships" are an escape for Katherine. She can't be alone and face herself and her feelings. She's running away from the pain... but there is no escape in the end.
I don’t doubt she can meet someone genuine and have a partner again. She won’t have a model looking older man but I don’t doubt she can meet a genuine guy who loves her for her. But you need to be realistic. We all do!
The reason these older woman do the internet dating thing is because they can't find someone in real life. She needs to be content with having relationships with her grown children and attending senior activities at a senior center or such.
Being realistic is better then unreasonable positive. She seems to have some personal issue like fear of being alone. These issues might be the problem she could not find relationships in real life. People take advantage of vulnerable people. Big fish eat small fish. Hope she find help.
She literally admits here that she was playing the guys she met online because she liked the attention and would have just gone with the first to show up and probably ghosted the others. Not exactly the poster child for emotional maturity. There is a reason she is looking for husband #3. There is a strong possibility that she chased the others off and it’s somewhat poetic justice that as she was playing the fake guys she was being played right back.
@@setfreemiss I believe the reasons are more complex than that. Katherine has a history of unhealthy relationships. Maybe she's afraid to get too close? Maybe online feels safer than real life? Only Katherine knows, or maybe she's not even aware.
@@PerrySkyePhoenix Oh she's not afraid to get close to a man. She thought she was getting married to a man after a few short chats online LOL. Not to be unkind, but she is also unaware of her glaring defects. Only a person with similar defects would be willing to hook up with someone who is overweight, appears to be mentally slow and forgets to put their dentures in during a video taped interview that will be broadcasted for the world to see. Where is she gonna find someone like her? She isn't, so she finds what she wants online.
“Which ever one comes home first, is the one I’m going to go with.” This woman doesn’t care about either men (god forbid they were real), she just wants to be with someone, anyone, it doesn’t matter who.
I knew someone like that too. She crushed on everyone. Then she died young (at about age 41), without ever finding love. She had some mental and intellectual challenges, which made it difficult for her to connect with people. My heart goes out to these lonely people.
"Can you send me money, for blah blah said reason". There's your sign they're a scamer. Now she is on a suckers list. I wonder if she realizes this.🤦♀️
that's just typical woman behaviour. Literally every woman doing online dating is juggling multiple men while majority of the dudes are focused on one woman at a time trying to make it work.
It’s really hard to feel sorry for someone who’s literally ok with buying a relationship. She felt that as long as the person she was talking to was the person in the photos, everything was fine. That’s sick.
I was just thinking that when she said "why couldn't one of them have been the one" or something like that and I thought 'so you would be happy to be with a guy that asked you for a few thousand dollars before you even met him face to face?'
@@donnagelina8548 Exactly .... i don't care if the guy is real or not in the photo's, anyone asking you for even just 1 cent should be blocked immediately. There's nothing normal or healthy about it .
Please excuse me for sounding harsh, but get over yourself. ALL relationships are built on reciprocity. Don't look down on people just because you think what you can give or get is of some morally higher value or standard. When it all boils down both people expect something out of a relationship and it never just the idea of "love" - even though people like at sum it up that way.
@@snooganslestat2030 Scammers give their "clients" attention. Lies. Empty words. False promises. Hope that they'll meet & start their life together. That's what they're paid for. 🤣🤣
@@RndmMcRndmnss I know I'm just saying they could get attention & more if they saw a professional, also far cheaper. I guess the drawback (if you could call it that) is they wouldn't be promised a fantasy relationship. 🙄 People dont like to admit it but also nearly always there is an element of greed, scammers are always waiting for some huge amount of money.
Considering the rampant poverty in a huge percentage of the world, you’d think there’d be even more romance scammers. Imagine living in destitution and being told there’s this mythical place (North America & Europe) where people WHO YOU’VE NEVER MET will send you thousands, tens of thousands and even (my god) hundreds of thousands of dollars because……… words. Even your poor English skills, thick accent and ridiculous stories (the army doesn’t feed me, I’m a rich lawyer/engineer/gemologist but I need a 68 year old widow half way around the world to pay for a broken piece of equipment etc.) doesn’t stop them. Lol….. seriously so many of these woman cry cry cry at the cruelty of these scammers but honestly if you were in their position would you have any sympathy?
You are not going to find someone who will truly love you until you learn to love yourself. Enjoying being alone with yourself is a sign that you love yourself. Being alone is not the same as loneliness (which is also alleviated when you love yourself).
Oh dear, red flag right there that he wanted to 'start a family' with someone who is in her 60's?? He's barely even paying attention to who he is scamming! Zero effort or notice given but somehow she would rather have that than be alone. No thanks! And what Dr would need bloody Gift Cards??
She said herself multiple times “I wanted to believe.” I’m sorry, but I don’t think she’ll stop. She’s addicted to these “relationships.” I don’t think you can help someone who doesn’t truly want to change. Edit: she looks like she’s taking good care of herself - I really hope she proves me wrong and doesn’t fall for another scam! ❤
I have a feeling she’s going to continue. She want to believe more than she wants to stop being scammed. She also seems like she is still willing to talk to them and send them money knowing she can’t trust them. I would put a parental lock of her computer and phone if I were her daughter
Katherine is 61 and should be gainfully employed. If she's living off disability ( which is probably the case ), someone needs to take of her finances or she's soon gonna end up in a shelter. For now, shame on her for sending ( family ) money to a stranger.
You are absolutely right, she should be working. Because of her cancer she probably isn't though. Looks like she's well enough now to start working though. If not a job she can volunteer. An animal shelter, retirement home, school, or hospital would be good volunteer jobs for her. Keep her nice and busy.
@@nena2281 Just a gentle reminder that just because someone “looks well,” that doesn’t mean they are. I have been fortunate with how my body handled chemo, but still have many days where I have zero energy and major brain fog. I look perfectly fine and ‘healthy,’ but I am struggling on the inside. Have a good day 🌹
The fact that people were able to make accounts under her name proves that she actually gave a LOT of personal information to strangers online. It’s crazy that so many vulnerable elders have access to the internet.
Putting romantic relationships over the love of your children is insane. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to pursue a relationship with a child but that child and the bond and relationship with them should always come first! Always! My ex wife and I share custody of our daughter and when I have my daughter with me no one else exists! Not even on the internet 🙅🏼♀️
She seems a bit slow… definitely giving me gullible vibes. I have a feeling she may be scammed again in the future. Imagine paying for men to “meet you”, especially a doctor! 🤦♀️😂 She needs the Internet shut off at her house because she’s never going to stop!
She is a survivor of mouth cancer which is why her speech is slurred. Also chemo is a b_tch and "chemo-brain" is real and affects things like decision making. She has 3 failed marriages - the one constant is her. So I'm glad she's getting counselling. Either she is the reason for the divorce, OR she doesn't know how to be with a man who respects her. Either way, hopefully therapy will work for her. And maybe she needs to be happy being alone with her family. If someone does come along, great. At her age, she's more likely to meet someone at church or a senior center than online. It can happen. My 84 year old grandfather met a woman through a seniors group after my grandma died so anything is possible.
"I'm all alone!" "Don't you have a beloved daughter who literally lives with you?" Gratitude would go a long way. Count your actual blessings, folks. Look around you! You have blessings uncounted in your real lives, you don't need to yearn and want and be greedy. Practice a little bit of gratitude for what you DO have, and you won't get scammed.
When you're in your 60's and 70's and no teeth you should really question when young hot men suddenly 'fall in love ' with you. Common sense seems to have evaporated.
I think what happens is these scammers are extremely persistent. They start to paint a reality. Keep in mind that these scams typically run between 6-9 months and involve thousands of conversations back and forth.
@@CatfishedOnline Perhaps you show more of these conversations in your videos? Because what you show is almost almost the same like "Hi, your're beautiful", "I'm a doctor/oilrig worker/engineer", "I love you, let's get married", "I'm working abroad", "Please send gift cards". If you showed more of that, and less of stock videos/photos of other people not involved in the story (2:17, 2:46) perhaps the 6-9 months perspective would become more clear.
This is an obvious psychological disorder. No young guy is going to be interested in old women, unless he pays him. A boyfriend is someone you can see and touch and go out with. These are obviously vulnerable people.
"I don't want to be by myself." Have you ever heard of dogs and cats? There's a pet in a shelter right now that would keep her company and love her unconditionally.
Seriously. I kept getting into one toxic relationship after another. After one of them dumped me, I got a cat from the shelter. I’ve been toxic relationship-free for two years! I know there’s always someone waiting at home to cuddle in bed. And the kitty is much happier than he was in the shelter.
She was in an online "relationship" with several different "men". She's only a victim because they all happen to be scammers. If they were real she'd be the villain, stringing these men along for her amusement. 🤷♀️
I think she was doing it because she was hoping at least one of them turns out to be real. These online chitchats can't even be called 'relationships'.
Me: *takes a quick glance at your profile picture.* You do look pretty, Madi, but that's beside the point. The thing about these people is that they, just like a gambler or alcoholic, they too have the same addiction for the need to love and be loved. It's sad, but it isn't something anymore should make fun of.
You had 3 husband's lady , that was your chance ! Time to learn to be happy alone , I honestly don't get the obsession with with needing someone? I love being single, and I am a 35 year old Aussie 6ft firefighter and I have had plenty of chances with Women , I find being alone much better and FAR less stress !
This is the advice I would give this lady: Rather than going online where you are FAR more likely to meet a scammer, turn your laptop off. Make yourself go out and talk to at least one real person every day. Then get involved in at least one local community activity. Can be the church, volunteering or exercise - but something you enjoy and where you are not worrying about looking the right way or appealing to a potential boyfriend. Focus on doing stuff and enjoying yourself and that way you will feel so much better. It will take time but your confidence will improve. Then you are far more likely to meet someone you actually click with.
I talk to women like this all the time, and often mention volunteering with something they enjoy, and they'll find acquaintences, friends and even love with people with the same interests. I usually get, "VOLUNTEER??!!" So many just want to sit where they are, and have a Prince Charming appear at their door. It just doesn't work that way, and is SO frustrating!
At what point does this become borderline unethical? What 95% of these elderly people on this channel needs are resources for mental and financial interventions, as most are obviously either mentally delayed or suffering from dementia
these are willing adults and elderly persons who are appearing on the channel because they want help from the channel owners. doesn’t seem unethical to me. they’re shedding light on a serious issue

@gucciSW-io9hn you have no idea people's heart work😢
At this point, social catfish should start their own dating service for all these people. They could talk to each other instead of getting scammed on the internet every other day 🙄
They want a fantasy. Not some old farts, sadly!
Yeah, but these people getting scammed wouldn't want each other. They want good looks and someone who makes big $$$.
Britt, I Agree!

Baffling isn't it. Out of a lot of these videos there seems to be a pattern they're nearly all older overweight unattractive people it's utter madness they believe the nonsense

Can you imagine these guys in public with her romancing her across a 5 star restaurant?! Nothing makes sense at all!!!! I truly beleive they have a serious lack of awareness.

I thought it was the same scammer, because she made the comment when she was believing this guy was not coming home this other guy popped up wanting to be her friend. I believe the scammer knew he had played his scam out asking as he could so he just created another profile and started it over.

I'm 62 and have been alone since I was 49. There's no way I'm getting into a relationship with a man at this age. Everyone, MEN and WOMEN have too much baggage in their older years( bad past relationships, money problems, health issues, emotional problems...etc.) I've had a few men in real life show interest in me, but I just ignore them and move on. Travel, cook, spend time with children/grandchildren, sew, exercise, garden...find something to do. No man can solve your problems ladies!
I love you for acknowledging yourself an reality🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️
Totally agree! Not saying that it's impossible to find a compatible mate, but usually the only men interested would be older, and the chances of becoming a nurse for him is greatly magnified! When you are young, it's possible to grow and change to be the best for your partner, but most people are set in their own ways by 50 or 60. It's funny to think about what reality would be like for 2 seniors to start living together and to witness all the quirks that may disgust the other!
Very well said indeed! Why at this age do most females appear to be desperate for a man when the greatest joy is freedom, doing what you love whenever and wherever you want, and not having to answer to anyone.
So true
I’m 49 and I love being single. I don’t understand people who are so desperate for a partner. I think that’s why I don’t understand anyone they talk to on here. It baffles me.
“I’ll take which ever one comes home first” = desperate. 🤦🏻♀️

Dang, she got 2 family members living with her who love her - I don't even have that. Does she know how lucky she is?
I know the love I have at home. I never said that. I know how lucky I am.

@@BeaStrong-cj2sc she is shaming herself by coming on here.
1:22 OH, I just had a lightbulb moment! It's not only loneliness these folks suffer from, it's being alone after always having someone around since their 20s. That's why it's so important to be your own person before you get married. Otherwise, when something happens, either divorce or death, you aren't susceptible to crippling loneliness.
Nah, getting married young and growing together is the best way
Exactly. I was married at 18. I am now going to be 73. I have never been without a male companion. I have been alone now 11 months. I have an emotional support animal that I won't leave home without. 80 lb 7 month old Labrador Retriever 😂
Yep. Eventually I was just ready somehow. Those men I dated as a very young woman thaaaank Goooodness I didn’t marry any of them. I was also okay with being single instead of clinging to the wrong guy.
Yes! Like a lot of the victims from what I can see married young and haven't had to even consider dating in decades. In that time the internet has evolved and they're likely to be less familiar with the norms and red flags, especially if they were stay at home parents or did a role not using the internet for other stuff much too. Heck, I have colleagues their age at work who can't handle PDFs and emails! Scammers dream 😪
That wouldn't help.
This woman is extremely vulnerable based on her history of very poor decision making. Maybe her daughter can petition a court to become her guardian to protect her from herself.
I would if I were her daughter
She has a proven track record of extremely poor choices in men. Two habitual cheaters (who definitely never cheated or showed any signs of cheating before they married her), and a convicted felon. /slowclap
💯. She will be broke and homeless if someone doesn’t step in. She has already said she’s not done.
You can't petition the court to take away anyone's rights just because YOU don't agree with their choices.
She can spend her money on whatever she wants. Collect starwars memorabilia, buy old clunkers and never fix them up, she can give to whatever charity she wants, or burn it if she wants...
The only way you can take away someone's autonomy is if you can prove that she's got the money but not responsible enough to pay her bills.
As long as her house and utilities are paid, you can't take her rights away.
And some of you better be glad that you can't. Because I look at people who throw their money away on stupid hobbies or fake charities all the time.
People like you would take everyone else's kids away too if you could.
But then whine when someone who doesn't agree with YOUR parenting, takes YOUR kids.
And if any of you fell for the co vid vacc ine hoax, then maybe you are incapable of making your own Healthcare decisions?
Do you see how this can all get out of hand?
"I don't think like you so I will take away your rights!" 🙄

Because everyone is different. That's why
@@susanlett9632it's something people need to learn to do, however. Otherwise, this is the result.
I agree with you. Some people unfortunately can't be alone. P.s. this woman has a loving daughter and granddaughter in her life so she should spend her money on them and enjoy with them.
I think its because society makes them feel like ending alone without a partner is the worst thing that can happen to someone in life. This is why the character of the “crazy cat lady” is looked as a failure and with shame.
I understand loneliness but I feel like if you don't experience it when you're and at your pique you might not understand it or think you'll ever survive it if jt happens to you. But I actually like myself and like my own company. Even when I got in a permanent relationship, I like my own company
They're like gambling addicts sitting by a slot machine.
They put in money, and sometimes they get something lovey-dovey that feeds their fantasies about being with that fantasy person and that gives them a dopamin rush, and sometimes they get promises of a lot of money, which also gives them that dopamin rush, and sometimes they get a message that they need to insert more money and they keep going in hope of getting the dopamin rush again and again.
Good analogy. All addictions have that common thread.
Yikes!! Never thought of it like that before, but you are right!
You're right, she does have an addiction like countless of others who fell and will fall into the deceitful world of "romance scammers". All addicts spend money that they do not have just to feed their addictions. Truthfully, I do not know if I feel "pity" , or "bad" for these people as no one forced these people to become addicted to their addictions. God Bless
They're also chasing their 'gambling' losses. If they stop paying they lose the chance of the big win, which is their potential partner coming home to them to both pay them back and marry them.
I think you hit the nail on the head. I just for the life of me understand any of it. But it's def an addiction.
My question is the same for most of these women. Where are they getting the money to send? I am single and work full time and I don't have money to throw at people!
These people need serious counseling.
Big social security checks from the government. Unfortunately, future generations wont' be able to benefit in the same way as the government is broke and the system will fail.
Mostly it comes from their husbands. Sometimes from their parents.

one woman I believe was using her elderly mother's disability benefit....as well as selling her own blood!!
Many of these catfishing women talk about how they've taken out loans; they may be in debt for decades after indulging their odd fantasy.
These stories make me glad I'm too insecure to believe a rich, handsome guy online would randomly fall in love me with me after meeting on a social site.. and even more glad that I'm not someone who feels lonely being alone.
That’s not called being insecure. It’s being realistic.
Seriously these frumpy lumpy people need to get real about who is in their league.
You're too smart 😉
I didn’t attract men that looked like that when I was 25 so unless I strike it rich, I’m obviously not attracting them now. People need to be brutally honest with themselves
I’m thinking the same thing. I would never believe someone like that would just fall madly in love with me and I’m just being a realist
@cynthialevi4520 exactly. I know for a fact I am not the girl that attracts good lookers , I know that ever since I was 15 I am 44 today and that still remains true.
I'm sorry but that woman is emotionally fragile ,she needs someone to handle her finances and need to go to therapy .this is the results of emotional damages

Yes, it's so funny and sad at the same time... A stranger call her beautiful and she immediately trusts him with her money despite being poor.

It's exactly a new form of addiction. It temporarily provides escapism from reality and fills an emotional void just as drug or alcohol would do and they seem to just cannot wait for the next hit of high.
Being “boy crazy” and romance scams have both been around for centuries….so not exactly a “new” phenomena.
I keep thinking of supposedly intelligent, accomplished people who join cults. They hand over all their worldly goods and blindly believe whatever the cult leader tells them. It's the same mentality.
You can't help people who don't want to be helped. She knew she was getting scammed. She'll keep doing it. She seems to be a rather selfish person. She claims to hate cheaters but she was talking about being in love with different men at the same time? Hum...

“Where is Ghana”? Says it all.
Yes! Not trying to be mean, but she seems to be a bit “slow” and doesn’t seem to understand the real world. The three ex-husbands seem to be just using her as well.
I think she is probably from Appalachia (I'm originally from Ohio. Right on the west Virginia border) people there are backwards! My daughter joined the peace corps when she graduated from college and went to Ethiopia. One of my now ex husband's hillbilly cousins asked if it was far from Ohio
It borders "rea".
@@darcylett486To be fair, though, many American public schools are absolutely atrocious, they graduate kids who can barely read, can't do math, and don't have the slightest clue of geography. It's not just in Appalachia. If I had kids I'd homeschool!
Typical American
Ok, here is a basic tip: Normal people do not send you pics of their passport or driver's license. They only do this to try and convince people that they're real. A real person doesn't have to do this to prove who they are. Same thing with those obviously fake pics of them holding up a piece of paper that says "I love you (insert name)" with a date on it.
Who wants to bet that she will fall for the scammers trap again?
It's probably the same group of men
Yep. They should do follow-up episodes a year later bc I guarantee you 99% of the people on this show went on to be scammed anew.

@@da__lang , yes, first time,. bad luck. Second time, coincidence. Third time? Ok, maybe I was the problem.
Maybe it feels safer than being involved with a man in real life.
That's very harsh. We can agree that Katherine has some issues, but she is the victim here.
@@da__lang - they were cheating on her. And her family loves her. So she is probably a quite good natured lady. Some good people are just extremely naive and magnet for users.
Drew said it, but we were thinking it all along: All of her Internet boyfriends are probably the same scammer. On Republican Singles we've found that when a scammer identifies a target who will look past their initial sloppiness and ignore the red flags, they will repeatedly try and target the same person. For instance, we caught one from Nigeria targeting a woman so we deleted his account. He then created a new account, using a VPN, and with a different name and different pictures, and proceeded to target the same woman. So we deleted the second account and warned the member that she had been talking to a scammer and was now being targeted and to be cautious.
Also, there's one thing worse than being alone: being alone and broke. STOP SENDING MONEY TO STRANGERS!
Unfortunately, she’s most likely basing her self-worth on the male attention that she gets, no matter what kind. She’s not gonna stop. She needs help. Btw, no effort given editing those scam photos. Lazy job. She really just fooled herself.
Yep. Can't fix stupid.
I feel that she's just going to keep doing it.

Before you feel sorry for these people, remember that time and money could have been spent with her daughter and grandchild. In her head she thinks she’s only deserving of the company of a handsome rich doctor.
It could have also been spent getting herself some much needed dental work, which would greatly improve not only her looks but her self-esteem.

I guess the prospect of being alone is scarier than the possibility of being scammed.
Being alone is scary
I think the lady of this episode is having some issues regarding herself because she’s unable to be alone. Or in solitude and at peace with herself, if you will, which is a sign of healthy, regulated mental state.
😳 Being alone is NOT scary. Single life is great - do whatever you want - whenever you want. People seem so desperate to be with someone ANYONE!!!! This woman was married three times and scammed numerous times in her obsession with NOT being alone. Sad.

"All of my internet boyfriends are scammers"
I can't stop laughing
I think ya'll should start a forum for all these victims to be each other's support in times of loneliness.
That is a wonderful idea
Wouldn’t work. They all want someone out of their league. They have no time for people who aren’t young, hot and rich.
Love yourself. This whole “I don’t want to be alone” but you’re dishing out money to strangers because they call you “my queen” and say they love you?! Love yourself!!!!!!!
These online "relationships" are an escape for Katherine. She can't be alone and face herself and her feelings. She's running away from the pain... but there is no escape in the end.
I don’t love myself. I’m older, alone and still wouldn’t send a cent to someone online.
@@MrsEJV That's good that you wouldn't send money to a scammer.
@@PerrySkyePhoenix... actually she too (on the video) is probably just happy to sit at the computer with her imagination.
I don’t doubt she can meet someone genuine and have a partner again. She won’t have a model looking older man but I don’t doubt she can meet a genuine guy who loves her for her. But you need to be realistic. We all do!
The reason these older woman do the internet dating thing is because they can't find someone in real life. She needs to be content with having relationships with her grown children and attending senior activities at a senior center or such.
Being realistic is better then unreasonable positive. She seems to have some personal issue like fear of being alone. These issues might be the problem she could not find relationships in real life. People take advantage of vulnerable people. Big fish eat small fish. Hope she find help.
She literally admits here that she was playing the guys she met online because she liked the attention and would have just gone with the first to show up and probably ghosted the others.
Not exactly the poster child for emotional maturity. There is a reason she is looking for husband #3. There is a strong possibility that she chased the others off and it’s somewhat poetic justice that as she was playing the fake guys she was being played right back.
@@setfreemiss I believe the reasons are more complex than that. Katherine has a history of unhealthy relationships. Maybe she's afraid to get too close? Maybe online feels safer than real life? Only Katherine knows, or maybe she's not even aware.
@@PerrySkyePhoenix Oh she's not afraid to get close to a man. She thought she was getting married to a man after a few short chats online LOL. Not to be unkind, but she is also unaware of her glaring defects. Only a person with similar defects would be willing to hook up with someone who is overweight, appears to be mentally slow and forgets to put their dentures in during a video taped interview that will be broadcasted for the world to see. Where is she gonna find someone like her? She isn't, so she finds what she wants online.
“Which ever one comes home first, is the one I’m going to go with.” This woman doesn’t care about either men (god forbid they were real), she just wants to be with someone, anyone, it doesn’t matter who.
I know someone like that. I dated him for awhile. He looks for the best deal in a relationship. If that makes sense
I knew someone like that too. She crushed on everyone. Then she died young (at about age 41), without ever finding love. She had some mental and intellectual challenges, which made it difficult for her to connect with people.
My heart goes out to these lonely people.
Yep.
Where is Ghana? she should not be allowed on the internet without supervision!
Africa
Priceless!
"Can you send me money, for blah blah said reason". There's your sign they're a scamer. Now she is on a suckers list. I wonder if she realizes this.🤦♀️
I don't think she realizes it's 2023
Is anyone paying attention to her wanting to ensure neither of the men are "cheaters" while she's telling them both she wants to marry them😳
that's just typical woman behaviour. Literally every woman doing online dating is juggling multiple men while majority of the dudes are focused on one woman at a time trying to make it work.
@@wolfafe nah lmao
It’s really hard to feel sorry for someone who’s literally ok with buying a relationship. She felt that as long as the person she was talking to was the person in the photos, everything was fine. That’s sick.
I was just thinking that when she said "why couldn't one of them have been the one" or something like that and I thought 'so you would be happy to be with a guy that asked you for a few thousand dollars before you even met him face to face?'
Exactly! I always say, there are late night numbers you can call and they can say the same thing at a fraction of the price.
@@donnagelina8548 Exactly .... i don't care if the guy is real or not in the photo's, anyone asking you for even just 1 cent should be blocked immediately. There's nothing normal or healthy about it .
Please excuse me for sounding harsh, but get over yourself. ALL relationships are built on reciprocity. Don't look down on people just because you think what you can give or get is of some morally higher value or standard. When it all boils down both people expect something out of a relationship and it never just the idea of "love" - even though people like at sum it up that way.
You can pay someone for their company. Scammers don't even have to leave their bed, talk on the phone, or video chat! BRILLIANT! 🤣🤣
Indeed & I bet most of these people would frown upon sex workers but at least their clients get something for the money.
@@snooganslestat2030 Scammers give their "clients" attention. Lies. Empty words. False promises. Hope that they'll meet & start their life together. That's what they're paid for. 🤣🤣
@@RndmMcRndmnss I know I'm just saying they could get attention & more if they saw a professional, also far cheaper.
I guess the drawback (if you could call it that) is they wouldn't be promised a fantasy relationship. 🙄
People dont like to admit it but also nearly always there is an element of greed, scammers are always waiting for some huge amount of money.
@@snooganslestat2030 they get promised of relationships with professionals too. That’s what keeps them coming back. A good client is hard to find.
Considering the rampant poverty in a huge percentage of the world, you’d think there’d be even more romance scammers. Imagine living in destitution and being told there’s this mythical place (North America & Europe) where people WHO YOU’VE NEVER MET will send you thousands, tens of thousands and even (my god) hundreds of thousands of dollars because……… words. Even your poor English skills, thick accent and ridiculous stories (the army doesn’t feed me, I’m a rich lawyer/engineer/gemologist but I need a 68 year old widow half way around the world to pay for a broken piece of equipment etc.) doesn’t stop them. Lol….. seriously so many of these woman cry cry cry at the cruelty of these scammers but honestly if you were in their position would you have any sympathy?
She doesn’t even know where Ghana is… in her 60s…
A useful principle to go by is that you cannot attract it in real life, you can’t do so online either. Be realistic about your pulling power!!
You are not going to find someone who will truly love you until you learn to love yourself. Enjoying being alone with yourself is a sign that you love yourself. Being alone is not the same as loneliness (which is also alleviated when you love yourself).
Well said. She has to learn to enjoy her own company
so really good answer
Very wise comment!
I love myself, and thoroughly enjoy spending time alone. But still...
❤ true ….
Oh dear, red flag right there that he wanted to 'start a family' with someone who is in her 60's?? He's barely even paying attention to who he is scamming! Zero effort or notice given but somehow she would rather have that than be alone. No thanks! And what Dr would need bloody Gift Cards??
She said herself multiple times “I wanted to believe.” I’m sorry, but I don’t think she’ll stop. She’s addicted to these “relationships.” I don’t think you can help someone who doesn’t truly want to change.
Edit: she looks like she’s taking good care of herself - I really hope she proves me wrong and doesn’t fall for another scam! ❤
I have a feeling she’s going to continue. She want to believe more than she wants to stop being scammed. She also seems like she is still willing to talk to them and send them money knowing she can’t trust them. I would put a parental lock of her computer and phone if I were her daughter
This is sooo sad. She needs affection and love from a man. Her family can't give her this kind of love, regardless how much they love her.
She's not a victim, she's an outpatient.
IN a mental home
Offf!
100percent
Agreed. Someone take her internet away.
😅
I don’t like when they say “ I hope they are real”. Well technically they are real but they are pretending to be someone they are not
If someone starts a convo with "hi beautiful" and you're not beautiful, there's a 100% chance it's a scammer.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This lady isn't a victim. She's lonely and in need of attention. She's paying for this attention that gives her a beautiful fairytale.
She's in tremendous debt, and is vulnerable to manipulation.
Katherine is 61 and should be gainfully employed. If she's living off disability ( which is probably the case ), someone needs to take of her finances or she's soon gonna end up in a shelter. For now, shame on her for sending ( family ) money to a stranger.
You are absolutely right, she should be working. Because of her cancer she probably isn't though. Looks like she's well enough now to start working though. If not a job she can volunteer. An animal shelter, retirement home, school, or hospital would be good volunteer jobs for her. Keep her nice and busy.
@@nena2281 Just a gentle reminder that just because someone “looks well,” that doesn’t mean they are. I have been fortunate with how my body handled chemo, but still have many days where I have zero energy and major brain fog. I look perfectly fine and ‘healthy,’ but I am struggling on the inside. Have a good day 🌹
She wouldn't have that much money if she is living off disability
@@FuneraryGirl Thankyou! Hope you are doing ok.
does this woman really come off as someone mentally fit for a job in your opinion....
The fact that people were able to make accounts under her name proves that she actually gave a LOT of personal information to strangers online.
It’s crazy that so many vulnerable elders have access to the internet.
I feel sorry for her children’s childhood.
Good point! She went from one bad marriage to another. Not good for the children in the situation
Putting romantic relationships over the love of your children is insane. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to pursue a relationship with a child but that child and the bond and relationship with them should always come first! Always! My ex wife and I share custody of our daughter and when I have my daughter with me no one else exists! Not even on the internet 🙅🏼♀️
@@feliciaswift5717Have you watched the video? Even she had to admit something’s mentally wrong with her. She is insane.
"I don't want to pay for a relationship but I don't want to be by myself." That is a sure fire way to make sure you stay alone.
Why would a 65 year old doctor need Steam gift cards? Lawd.
"But I wanted to believe!" That's exactly the key. They just want to believe it so badly. So sad. Thanks for your help ❤
She seems a bit slow… definitely giving me gullible vibes. I have a feeling she may be scammed again in the future. Imagine paying for men to “meet you”, especially a doctor! 🤦♀️😂 She needs the Internet shut off at her house because she’s never going to stop!
Not that slow she’s had like 3 marriages
@@Jpcorza69
Considering how many men are put off by very-intelligent women, it’s needless to say that you don’t have to be smart to get married
She is a survivor of mouth cancer which is why her speech is slurred. Also chemo is a b_tch and "chemo-brain" is real and affects things like decision making. She has 3 failed marriages - the one constant is her. So I'm glad she's getting counselling. Either she is the reason for the divorce, OR she doesn't know how to be with a man who respects her. Either way, hopefully therapy will work for her. And maybe she needs to be happy being alone with her family. If someone does come along, great. At her age, she's more likely to meet someone at church or a senior center than online. It can happen. My 84 year old grandfather met a woman through a seniors group after my grandma died so anything is possible.
Very low functioning iq sad
@@nickimillennium it was a sarcastic joke
"ALL her boyfriends"? Does this woman have a mirror in her home?
"I'm all alone!"
"Don't you have a beloved daughter who literally lives with you?"
Gratitude would go a long way. Count your actual blessings, folks. Look around you! You have blessings uncounted in your real lives, you don't need to yearn and want and be greedy. Practice a little bit of gratitude for what you DO have, and you won't get scammed.
They probably don't get along at all
When you're in your 60's and 70's and no teeth you should really question when young hot men suddenly 'fall in love ' with you.
Common sense seems to have evaporated.
I think what happens is these scammers are extremely persistent. They start to paint a reality. Keep in mind that these scams typically run between 6-9 months and involve thousands of conversations back and forth.
@@CatfishedOnline Perhaps you show more of these conversations in your videos? Because what you show is almost almost the same like "Hi, your're beautiful", "I'm a doctor/oilrig worker/engineer", "I love you, let's get married", "I'm working abroad", "Please send gift cards". If you showed more of that, and less of stock videos/photos of other people not involved in the story (2:17, 2:46) perhaps the 6-9 months perspective would become more clear.
This is an obvious psychological disorder. No young guy is going to be interested in old women, unless he pays him. A boyfriend is someone you can see and touch and go out with. These are obviously vulnerable people.
"I don't want to be by myself." Have you ever heard of dogs and cats? There's a pet in a shelter right now that would keep her company and love her unconditionally.
❤
Seriously. I kept getting into one toxic relationship after another. After one of them dumped me, I got a cat from the shelter. I’ve been toxic relationship-free for two years! I know there’s always someone waiting at home to cuddle in bed. And the kitty is much happier than he was in the shelter.
❤❤
Animals are not a substitution for human contact/company/love. They do not have human characteristics, no matter how much you wish they did.
That WILL possibly die, if not adopted
I also believe if you play this video in a Court of Law that she could be considered incompetent😢
Yes. Clearly she’s a vulnerable adult.
Number one......WHY the heck is she talking to FOUR different guys if she's looking for a SERIOUS relationship????
She was in an online "relationship" with several different "men". She's only a victim because they all happen to be scammers. If they were real she'd be the villain, stringing these men along for her amusement. 🤷♀️
I think she was doing it because she was hoping at least one of them turns out to be real. These online chitchats can't even be called 'relationships'.
“Hello, how you doing, beautiful?!” BLOCK 😂
Me: *takes a quick glance at your profile picture.*
You do look pretty, Madi, but that's beside the point.
The thing about these people is that they, just like a gambler or alcoholic, they too have the same addiction for the need to love and be loved.
It's sad, but it isn't something anymore should make fun of.
You had 3 husband's lady , that was your chance !
Time to learn to be happy alone , I honestly don't get the obsession with with needing someone?
I love being single, and I am a 35 year old Aussie 6ft firefighter and I have had plenty of chances with Women , I find being alone much better and FAR less stress !
Exactly. She may have already run through her husband quota for a lifetime.
This is the advice I would give this lady: Rather than going online where you are FAR more likely to meet a scammer, turn your laptop off. Make yourself go out and talk to at least one real person every day. Then get involved in at least one local community activity. Can be the church, volunteering or exercise - but something you enjoy and where you are not worrying about looking the right way or appealing to a potential boyfriend. Focus on doing stuff and enjoying yourself and that way you will feel so much better. It will take time but your confidence will improve. Then you are far more likely to meet someone you actually click with.
I talk to women like this all the time, and often mention volunteering with something they enjoy, and they'll find acquaintences, friends and even love with people with the same interests. I usually get, "VOLUNTEER??!!" So many just want to sit where they are, and have a Prince Charming appear at their door. It just doesn't work that way, and is SO frustrating!
At what point does this become borderline unethical? What 95% of these elderly people on this channel needs are resources for mental and financial interventions, as most are obviously either mentally delayed or suffering from dementia
Thank you! Someone gets it.
Lol
This is awareness for the family member to watch for signs.
these are willing adults and elderly persons who are appearing on the channel because they want help from the channel owners. doesn’t seem unethical to me. they’re shedding light on a serious issue
Its not dementia that causes confusion there's no confusion here
She said she has an addiction. It's definitely not an addiction, it's a complete lack of self worth and a lack of self confidence!
She's on the scammers system
😂😂
