You should start watching the signs so you don't get played or just plain disappointed.
* Messaged you out of nowhere but never looked at your profile
* Has just created the ad today but has several new "friends" all within just a few minutes
* Profile details don't remotely match photo. My favorite was the pale blond blue eyed native American from Nigeria
-feel free to add other obvious signs
Stop being suckered.
If you stop being an easy mark to these leeches then maybe it will cease to be such a target. At very minimum, you will not feel like a prize dumba** for getting played.
We try to put a lot of effort into chatting and getting to know folks to see if they are a good match.
But, the vast majority are not actually here looking to become a sisterwife. I don't know about the couples, but I am beginning to suspect that a lot of the couples are not either- just swingers searching for the next bit of 'fun'.
The latest scammer was purportedly from Northwest Ohio. She literally started asking for $20 within 2 hours of starting to chat. "living with my parents and they won't feed me".
A video chat showed the reality: she has a wedding ring, a child, and lives in an apartment. Later she started pushing for us to send money for a bus ticket - claimed she had no ID and had to buy it so she could use the eticket - the usual scammer nonsense.
I don't bother to name names - they always change them anyways.
Speaking of which: when they are identified they don't get deleted. And when they come back, they don't get deleted. So, you end up with the same ones again and again.
At least there is now a 'willing to relocate' info on profiles now. Not that folks will be honest about that either, but it does help a bit.
Some of the things that have become glaringly clear to us in the last 3 months about the women looking:
1. Several of them are mentally disabled. They are either low IQ, or have other significant issues and in several cases have 'caregivers' or are in treatment centers.
2. Several are serial seekers. They go from family to family and in many cases are already chatting up several 'next stops' for when they decide to move on. A variety of motivations fuel these ones but I'm betting that deep down they are looking for the fairy tale and or big score.
3. Outright scammers - send me money for a ticket, etc.
4. Bored and lonely. Unhappy at home, lie about living circumstances, usually grossly obese, etc.
5. Academics - these folks are researching the lifestyle and documenting the real folks on here and their responses to 'chats' for use in research papers and/or articles. They are fake and are 'playing the part' to draw out the 'answers' they want.
6. Knights in Armor - looking for low hanging fruit for prosecution "I have a 17 year old daughter with me that is interested in the lifestyle too", or just disrupt a lifestyle that they KNOW is wrong. So far, every one of these I have seen is quickly and decisively deleted by the admins (wonder why they don't do that on the others?).
Most of these can be eliminated by ID verification. Not sure why it hasn't been implemented. But it sure would help.
Constantly vetting the scammers gets depressing. And is a waste of time for paying users.
Hopefully things will change...
I see the fact that the economy, political divides, food insecurity and all the more chance of truly significant change being forced upon the world by globalist/elites/corporatists or weird mish mashes of communist, fascists and creepy as hell transhumanists all makes people scared for the future. The uncertainty in the world seems like a decent predictor for polygamy becoming a far more palettable choice for single women and couples moving forward. Safety in numbers, economic security and a larger base of support may start to seem pretty attractive.
I don't know about the rest of y'all but it sure looks to me (in early August of 2022) that the number of women coming to the site seeking or investigating plural marriage seems to going up significantly.
Yeah the number of established families looking for women may well be going up as well but I am not in as much of a position to notice. Maybe the site admin will see the post and comment about if I am right about the surge in single woman and if the same applies to families.
Won't pretend that even though I don't want the economy and the world to go to hell, that I am not happy to see more woman considering plural marriage in general terms. It is after all likely the oldest form of marriage and was the most prominent form until semi recently as the history of humans goes (genetic record tells us that there have been far more moms than dads).
i'm going to try to share a little about me on this blog, so you all can gain a better understanding of who i am, my past, and why it's lead me to be the person i am now and my desire to be a sister wife.
I'll try to write a little each day in an ongoing way, but let me start by saying a grew up in a very liberal and highly educated household. I love my parents deeply. They raised me in the things they believed, which were things like compassion for those less fortunate, empathy, and honesty. They are feminists and also more left-learning, but they never demanded I be so as well. They encouraged me to keep core values of love and faith, but to allow them to manifest however my beliefs evolved.
As it became clear to me, as i tried hard to fit in as a hair-under-the-armpits feminist that it just wasn't for me, they supported my decisions to become more involved in the christian church, to seek strong men who set the tone for me and our relationship, to be more conservative in my politics, and eventually to find my journey here, where i hope to find a loving Husband and His alpha wives where i can serve in a beta role. While they are proud of my career and support me, i don't think this is where they anticipated their daughter ending up. But they love and support what i choose to be. And what i choose to be is a subservient and devoted wife to a King who can ensure my role is cherished but also i doing things in my proper place, at the feet of the Man i'm devoted to.
