Using kik is a bad idea

<p>It does not take days for pictures to be approved. We have lifetime members helping with public and personal pictures, so those are generally approved in minutes. Staff members process the other pictures and the ones that the lifetime members skip at least twice a day on most days.</p>

<p>The message system is also instant. You do have to both be logged in, but that is the case with any system.</p>

I hate how limited and restrictive thus chat program is. Both sides having to be logged on to effectively chat really drags things out. If your surroundings are not conducive to being logged into SLS, it can be all day or longer before the message is read. With no sort of message alert like the old program, that eliminates any hope of communications for short notice / spur of the moment meets. If someone wants "proof" of being real in the form of a specific pic or background, it can be days before the pic is uploaded, approved, attached to profile and shared. The limitations justbog down the entire process

Fuzzy, it's great for a single guy to confirm that he is indeed in contact with a lady and the female half of a couple. It's pretty easy to tell when a guy is trying to be two people if they ever try that route.

After initial contact here most any other messaging app is a lot better to keep everyone on the same page. Especially if there are several different parties involved. Group text or conversations allow everyone to stay updated if plans change. I actually prefer to use a group chat of some type when talking to a couple. That way at least there is some assurance that both halves of the couple know what is going on.

Anyone who falls for that is desperate and deserves to get scammed. But then again, my wives friend's husband sent 1400 worth of gift cards to someone on craigslist as payment for a truck...

We use kik a lot. Usually after exchanging a couple messages here first. It's just so much easier to use.

For us the message system here works just fine for initial conversation. We tend to get too distracted to sit and chat real time. We have other things to do so sending a few messages back and forth then moving on to a real world meeting or not is our preferred way of doing things. Of course we meet a lot of folks at parties and that is our "real time" conversations.

As far as the $50 for gas money scam please tell me no one actually fell for that. Oh and if they did they deserve to have been taken for $50. Seriously though there are still people that gullible online in 2020? The thought has me laughing and wondering if I can pose as a hot young chick needing gas money. BTW I'm far from either a hot chick or young but I can pretend.

Chat apps like Kik are so much easier to use than this old beast. We especially prefer doing a 4 way group chat with a couple to keep everyone on the same page. They also work well when organizing parties or with LS groups in general. The vid chat on SLS has improved and can still work well to vet someone and see who you are talking to.

I'm happy to move to kik, private email, or text as quickly as possible. The conversation can be much more fluid and in real time. Unlike the slow, buggy, and often non functional system here.

We never use the chat on here. We don't associate any of this with our cell phones so all of our communication is either over Kik or Google Voice.

We leave it up to others which one, we don't care. If you've been doing this long enough you can spot them a mile away.

We have never ran into a scammer but again, experience will tell you pretty quickly.

“ Once they are on KIK, they tell the single male they need $50 for gas money to drive to his location. ”

I wonder if she’s related to my cousin; the prince who just died in Nigeria who left me $2M if I just send $300 for transfer fees. Nobody, nor website, can protect stupid people from themselves.

I refuse to have any communication through apps and non valid cell accounts.

<p><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:14px">Any scam involving payment. One that happened recently: Someone creates a single female profile. They receive dozens of messages from single males. They then tell all those males to contact them on KIK. A certain percentage contact them on KIK. Once they are on KIK, they tell the single male they need $50 for gas money to drive to his location. A certain percentage of those males electronically transfer the $50 to them. Guess what? They never show up at his location. </span></p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:14px">We can weed those type of people out much more quickly if you keep your conversation here where we can see it. </span></p>

Can't say I agree at all. Those that have wanted to go on kik with us legitimately wanted to see if there was any sort of spark

Using KIK has always been a helpful tool in our in vetting the fakes, we just don't care to hang out on it. The IM here isn't instant either, so there is not wait and refreshing the site and things can move more fluidly.

We're not afraid of giving out cell numbers either but many people are so we usually just end up using kik.

We’ve used Kik for years.

It’s no different than meeting a stranger on the street. We don’t give out personal info.

KIK has very little incentive to chase down every fake account. As SLSWayne says, the scammers are out there, even on SLS.

Although, if you are a single guy, and you just happen to have a huge gorgeous cock, the 19yr old girls trying to hook up with you are definitely legit.

We will usually just exchange cell #'s if we're going to meet someone. We vet them here first. We have never had an issue, and if we did, it is extremely easy to block a number.

We use kik a lot and love it. It's a much easier way to communicate.

Im curious. Exactly what scam are you saying they wanna do? What can a person do on kik that can't be done right here? I mean think about it. Neither tool is giving out a phone number or location. Either way the recipient of your communication is limited to just the info you're willing to share.

<p>This is a tactic scammers use. They divide and conquer. They meet you on here and then they get you to go somewhere like KIK, where they carry out their scam. We have no proof, so we cannot take any action and I doubt places like KIK are going to do anything, so they get away with it. Someone immediately trying to get you to take your conversation outside of this site is a HUGE red flag that they are a scammer and it is also a violation of site policy. </p>

We haven't had good luck with couples wanting to use kik, especially if they want to move there right away. All but one time, the other party was a fake or flake. We just stay on SLS.

Its easy for "us".. we are Lifetime members.. we use SLS and if vetted and we meet we give them our Cell Number... any issues we move on quickly.. the fakes on SLS is terrible!

Seem to be as fake as anywhere else on the interwebs, it's just another avenue. We do prefer Kik or email over cell or text though so not all are fake

I have experience majority of sls users who wants to use kik, they turn out to be fake or not serious?

I personally use google voice to hide my real phone number till I get to know them

Does anybody experience fake people on kik?
