Basically the dating scene will be chat bots talking to each other

Online dating is basically like that. When i use a dating app, most women live close by and are Asian, mostly chinese. Which is interesting, because where i live, i see maybe 4 chinese people a year. They are all tea merchants and live with their sister/relatives and really want my whatsapp. They are often bots, but sometimes a real person takes over. I like to tell them outrageous shit, until a human has to take over. What i do now is that they always ask what i work, and i tell them i'm a tea merchant. Which either results in a unmatch, or a: cool, i'm a tea merchant. Some of them are really fucking good, and online dating will be gone for good if they get any better. I'm pretty sure a lot of chatbots talk to each other on these platforms, because they auto match anyone and either start talking or answer themselves

Why do they unmatch when you say you're a tea merchant?

I would guess that it's either them noticing that they are wasting time or saying that you also are a "tea merchant" means that you are also doing the same scam and there is no point in 2 scammers wasting time talking to each other
