So, I'm going to be in a small town over the weekend and one of my friends told me I should go on Seeking or WYP and set something with a local. As expected, I went to Seeking and four about 4 people within 25 miles that I had logged on in the last month. I messaged one.
I went WYP and found 1 that had logged in during the last six months. I sent her a request. This morning, I got a date request from a new profile supposedly created by someone in that small town today. I did not change my profile location and only did a search that no one but me and the site owners would know about. It would have to be a completely bizarre coincidence that someone would create a new profile in this little tiny town, decide to review the profiles in Seattle (and not one of the large cities near them) and then send out a date request within hours of me looking there. This new profile that sent the date request has one photo and no other information filled out. In addition, when I do a search for the town again ranked by last time online, she comes up about 10th (she should be first).
So, the only thing I could assume is that WYP is creating profiles hoping that you pay to speak to someone about the date and then you never hear from them.

I think all of sites use Robo accounts that are created automatically and send likes etc to get your attention or eyes over to their content / site.
