I find that those who are not genuinely looking for a relationship, in other words "playing games", will make every excuse to hide themselves. I have had message conversations with a number of women who have all the excuses to avoid having a video chat such as, "My laptop does not have a cam". Then when I ask for an audio chat, the excuse is their mic doesn't work. It is quite easy to save pictures from the Internet and then claim to be that person. As for those who claim to be from New York, New York, it has become a red flag. It is truly disappointing to talk with someone who finally reveals where she really is located. The worst offenders are those who claim to be from a location they have listed but never update their information.

If you are someone who isn't honest about something simple like your location, you are simply a liar and I would never trust you with anything important, especially my life. You deserve to be shunned and alone so you don't disappoint or even destroy someone's expectations.
