I used to know a doctor who found her husband in a dating agency. This was about 1990 or 1991 -- before most people knew about the Internet.

The dating agency had two classes of customers. The first was for the wealthy, highly educated, famous, and those who had achieved well above average success. The second was for everyone else. Interestingly enough, the people in the second category never knew that the first category existed and were never presented with their profiles. The people in the first category could see the profiles from the second category if they wished, but rarely did they wish to see them.

The doctor married a friend of mine who graduated from the most prestigious university in the city with a top engineering degree and owned his own company.

Being a doctor doesn't preclude lacking in social graces.

Not to be negative or anything, but a doctor, a highly paid person who presumably is highly functioning, even by NT standards is romantically interested in somebody who lives in a group home? This sounds suspicious.

He could be a predator posing as a doctor.


It could also be a neuro-divergent doctor, those DO exist...

I don’t ever remember there’s a doctor member here on WP.
I remember coders, accountants, engineers and musicians, but no doctor.
It is not a common occupation among aspies.

I did a search in Google, I got this;The image shows a man with dark hair, a beard, and light skin. The query "Dr David Perkins Scam" suggests the user may be asking if this person is associated with a scam. However, there is no information about Dr. David Perkins being associated with any scam. It's important to be cautious about online information and to verify the legitimacy of any claims or associations.

Maybe doctors can be very busy to go out to look for someone special.

Did you do an "image search" using that picture?

The image search will look to see if that particular picture appears somewhere on the internet.

For example, if you have the following picture:

Image

it will find several similar pictures including the exact same picture as above.

It also shows this one that looks to me like the same model, but it probably helps that he appears to be wearing the same hat and belt buckle in both pictures:

Image

If you click on "exact matches", it shows a whole list of images of the picture.

The idea here is to see if the person sent you a picture that he found on the Internet. This appears to be pretty common in cases involving scams.

Usually searching for a person's name and the word scam isn't very useful. It's not like there's a database of scammers and catfishes to refer against.

That's very true. The one thing it might find is if a scammer had used that name and photograph before and someone posted about it.

That's why doing an image search is more likely to be useful. If a scammer somewhere else wants to appear as an American, then the easiest source of pictures to use would be the Internet.

Why don’t you try to date someone who is like working an office job or even a blue collar, for a change?

Why you always fall for « doctors » (scams) and « soldiers deployed somewhere » (scam)?

If the pic is of a handsome man wearing a hat like that then he is 1000% a scam.

So I shouldn't send anyone my picture? I was wearing, as usual, a hat, long sleeved shirt, and vest on Thursday. I'm probably twice as old as the model in the picture, though.

I like my hat better, though.
