    Damn. Thirst traps. I’ve seen this forever and never knew there was a name for it.

    This shit is EVERYWHERE with online dating. I’ve actually never risen to it, but that’s not because I recognised it for its purpose (weeding out betas) but because I saw it as attention seeking so I ignored it.

    Even googling it, I only found one proper comment on it:

    But the tl;dr is “they’re set and forget shit tests”

    I don’t even think @Rollo or anyone else for that matter has ever dealt with it.

    Thanks for this and Happy Xmas

      Like a girl in a bikini with fish, uou poi t out stuff about the fish etc.

      Like this guy is doing.

      1. Yeah

        It’s one of those things, I’ve seen it, and recognised it as attention seeking and so have t engaged in it.

        But a set and forget shit test + beta bait…

        Yeah. And I’ve never seen it dealt with as such.

    1. Man, I need to just put out what I have as the “beta”.

      I was saying on Reddit that after I read Game Solved, I realized that I needed to dig deeper

      1. You could publish it on Amazon for $1 or something and you’d retain the digital rights and we could proof read it if you want.

        Be a nice distraction from the BS that’s going down
