OA quote: ""lower league English football" wasn't available"

Possibly explains the recurring need for a fake one.

Serious contribution: bots faking it with other bots generating large numbers of apparently real social profiles. Not just gf/bf whatever but other forms of relationship (fake boss asking for more work this weekend as a cover for...).

Ideal chaff for the surveillance society.

> "He mainly needed a fake girlfriend to get his parents off his back after he was divorced." Good grief. Have some mercy, parents.

How much do you want to bet the parents pushed him into divorce in the first place?

tbh tho, you're not going to find well-adjusted people using these services, almost by definition.

If the boyfriend/girlfriend ratio is 60/40, they could almost just connect these people together.

Dating isnt simply a matching problem... maybe these people don't want to connect with a real person?

Well then they could be fake couples together
