Thank you for the answers, you convinced me it's a bad idea. The slimy thing about this thing isn't about starting a relationship with a lie (relationships are impossible for me, anyway). It's that a girl might develop feelings toward a person that doesn't really exist even if I explicitly told them I only want friendship. And leading them on is pretty unethical as both men and women can sometimes ignore all the red flags if the person is beautiful enough. divine1966, pretty sure I would be safe from identity theft charges. Although sexting is technically the same in my country as distributing pornography and there were cases of girls going to prison for sending nudes to their boyfriends (the law is based on an international convention ratified in 1924 which is absolutely ridiculous). Oh, and COVID definitely won't get under control here until 2024. Have fun
