That's life, give people access to something which gets popular then people out there will spoil it for everyone else.
For example, back in 2001 I was on chatrooms (17 years old, had 56k dial from the mid 90's) and meet a girl from Lincoln. It was 6 months before we actually met. This was way before dating sites, what I saw on her photo is what I got. Nice, slim blonde girl, had good fun together

With internet dating so popular now, you will struggle to find that now. Instead you get a bunch of fatties trying to look slim with photos from different angles or single chavvy mothers with multiple kids by multiple dads thinking they will find "tall,dark and handsome" on POF, Tinder, etc.
