No, what Froomey wrote was very clear and absolutely correct - you made a wild suggestion that most girls on SA are scammers and he asked you for evidence which you can't provide because it is obviously rubbish. Coming up with fancy phrases like 'empirical evidence' doesn't mask that.
And on that, if one could be so inclined to go through every page on here and count up all reports of scams via SA, it would be double figures, when there have been several tens of thousands of female profiles over the past few years.
After being questioned, you then lumped catfishes in with scammers, which while annoying is not in the same league as scamming. Just use due diligence. (I'm also sure lots of guys catfish well.) Again, I can't be bothered to count but after scanning many many thousands of profiles over the past 3 years and being fairly astute, I would say the percentage of profiles with inaccurate photos is fairly small. What's 'deceptive' is subjective - some could take a look at every profile, boy or girl, and say it is deceptive in some way.
Froomey was polite. Not for the first time, you've come across as a bit of a dick who acts like he knows it all after a very short time on SA but actually doesn't.

I find it interesting how certain posters seem to think that they conclusively know “the answer” to what SA is.
I have an MO that works perfectly well for me. I have not been subbed for nearly 2 years, do not have a profile pic, but probably still get 20 numbers per month. I have a well crafted profile that I put a lot of effort into and I’m reasonably aware of obvious scammers/pros [too professional pics, profile inconsistencies, language, stolen pics, repeat profiles, etc, etc] when I go through the process of searching and favouriting.
After making contact I follow a fairly well rehearsed script, that I have tested and works for me, that treats them more as potential dates rather than whores. As a result I have more girls willing to meet than I have time to meet and am therefore able to be more dispassionate when it comes to agreeing allowances, meet and greets, etc. I’m not worried about walking away and moving onto the next one.
Getting there has involved a lot of trial and error and mistakes have been made along the way, but now I would say I have about half the girls I see without paying them a bean (but giving them a good night out) and the other half I’ve paid PPMs in the £150-250 range. I haven’t paid a PPM over £250 since 2018.
Edit: I tell a lie, I paid £300 once just before Covid because I REALLY fancied her. It was decent but not worth the extra £100 and I never repeated.
I'm London based btw.
