I'm not exactly sure why, but your website gives off a very "scammy" vibe, even tough your discuss other scams on it, and since you're seemingly here in earnest, seems valid. Maybe it's something about the color theme of the site (dark text on dark background, strange choices of colors etc) or the weird element structure, low quality photos. Not entirely sure why.

Some things do read a bit weird on the website, but maybe I'm just not the target market (which seems to be "fat americans"). Here is just one snippet I found a bit strange:

> This means a typical 5/10 overweight average looking American 34 year old guy is a 12/10 here in Ukraine. Yes, this isn’t wrong. This hypothetical guy will be so attractive to the women here in Ukraine that he will be getting hit on and talked to by local women. How do I know? I used my own description. So for this number I use 12/10, or 1.2.

Maybe my tiny comment can help you improve at least a tiny bit, as we all would be better off with less incels :)

This one from the FAQ stands out:

> I'm black/brown/liberal/Jewish/Muslim/gay/trans. Will you help me?

> Generally no. F*k off, we're full. [...]

This is a comedy answer. Ukraine is a very racist country and I don't advise people to travel here if they are of these groups. However, as I say, if you still want to I will help.

Uhh, do take a look at the FAQ on his website ... Incels are probably the lesser evil when compared to bona fide racists?

Incels overlap with almost every "Bad opinion" you might imagine.

It doesn't just mean a person who can't get laid, it can also imply a real community with a shared culture that happens to include several different kinds of hate.

> color theme of the site

Uses `A SiteOrigin Theme`, which is significantly improved by the `Dark Reader` plug-in for Chrome.

I booked a flight and AirBNB to Lviv for last October and then delayed due to Covid. Motivation is more about startup talent.
