This explains why I see so many Chinese or otherwise Asian-looking women on Facebook Dating, and why they are so quick to want to move the conversation to WhatsApp. A few of them make sure to obscure their faces in photos. Some of them even have profiles with male-sounding names and don't answer when I ask how they ended up with that name (spoiler alert: they probably took over another profile and just used it for dating without thinking to check gender). I've also had a Facebook friend request where she tried to make it seem like she was from my area. But she never answered when I tried to confirm the park in question was in a completely different part of town than it actually was. Funny, that... -- Shawn K.
