100%

been catfished by too many girls with filtered pix, including a tranny. can also ensure she can hold a convo. nothing worse than showing up for a date and realizing in the first minute you want it to be over.

People do video calls at work and for all sorts of other things now, like language instruction, telemedicine, etc. It's a big time commitment to show up in person, and often the women don't look like their photos. I hear where you're coming from but I'd also be open to trying a video call. Of course you just need to be confident, upbeat, ask a few questions, and don't let the call last too long - your goal is to just make sure she meets your minimum requirements, and then you can proceed to proposing a real first date

Imagine she turns out to be fat and asks, "When are we meeting?" Plus, video calls miss some of the positive attributes you can pick up on in person, like their overall vibe or aura.

oh, that sounds annoying. women often move the goalposts, cancel, go hot and cold, etc, especially before you've met them. as a result setting up dates can be awkward, but you've got to just stay positive and power through it. you are interested in her, but not desperate. no need to overthink the what ifs on future cancellations - if that's where you end up, i don't think it's too awkward for you to be like

"I’ve been thinking about it, and I feel we’re not the right match. I appreciated speaking, but I think it’s best if we don’t meet. Wishing you all the best moving forward"

honestly man it's kind of completely insane that women are willing to go meet up with some random guy 1 on 1 just from some online pictures and a self-description of him, either of which could be totally fake

like for all she knows you could be some psycho or brown person trying to rape or rob or murder her. any woman smart enough to do a video call screening is 1. not an idiot, 2. probably not a slut either

i've even heard of people going on "virtual first dates" but that seems like a little much and probably a waste of time

Obviously, you're meeting at a public spot like a restaurant or coffee shop, and if the guy doesn't match his description, she can just leave. Sure, doing it online might seem safer, but it also feels like a chore and kills the excitement of a first date. Plus, it's way easier to flake on someone online simply because of how dull it feels.

IME, only the controlling ones with high expectations expect a call.
