  possible reasons I can think of 1) these are based on self reporting and it’s very possible men report at lower rates. 2) it’s possible that the scams happen outside of the areas where I have insights (social media)

    Also, the specific social media network you work at would skew your perspective. I would bet money that romance scam victims are overwhelmingly men on TikTok but overwhelmingly women on Facebook.

      Probably not, ticktock isn't male dominated. Twitter and Reddit however, I could see that.

        Tiktok facilitates primarily visual interactions and young people, whereas Facebook is less visually focused and has a much older user demographic.
