"Pigging": Beware of this nasty dating scam!
In the subway, he speaks to you: An incredibly attractive man who also seems to be nice. You swap numbers and write back and forth a few times. You can not wait to meet him. After all, that sounds more than promising. But then, when you finally meet for dinner, he is so different. He is just rude and even insults you as "ugly". What's going on there?
Pigging: From dream man to nightmare
It could be that you have become a victim of a nasty dating scam: the "pigging". It's about men talking to women they would not normally flirt with? only with the aim of dropping them again and insulting them. A huge mess! What should that be? So men want to pimp their ego or even compete with their buddies in a competition.
How can I protect myself from pigging?
Actually only by trusting your gut feeling. Does his flirting sound funny to you? Does he talk to you unexpectedly and in unusual situations? You do not always notice what's happening to you right now? Unfortunately. But sometimes you have a funny feeling from the beginning? in that case you should listen to it. If you are still a victim of "pigging", three things are especially important:
- Talk about it with your family or friends and do not eat the disappointment into you. Such an experience can have an enormous impact on the future dating and relationship behavior. If necessary, contact an expert such as a psychotherapist or a single coach.
- Do not lose faith in love because of this experience! Be aware that this man was an isolated case. Someone who has no heart and conscience.
- Warn your girlfriends of this man! Who knows ? Maybe somebody from your environment will come in contact with him in the future.
