Sort out the spam from the real women in casual sex ads

Look for something unusual about the ad. Does she have something quirky or humorous in her ad? Does she give some characteristic that sets her apart from some generic ideal? Spammers target the lowest common denominator, so if she's setting herself apart or narrowing down her potential audience, that's a good sign.

Look for longer, chatty ads with personality. Spammers don't put a lot of personality in their ads, and they tend to be brief, sometimes only a line or two. Again, their target is as many people as possible, so they cast a wide net, and this tends to lead to a generic tone.

Look for women who sound "imperfect" (i.e., real). If she sounds too good to be real, she probably is. Women who are looking for casual sex are imperfect, just as all women are. If she claims to be 18 and gorgeous, I'll let you guess what the likelihood is that she's for real.
