I spent a fortune over the last two weeks looking for a woman to date. I got lots of 'hot' offers, which surprised me as I had never used these sites before and like a trusting simpleton believed all the msgs were genuine. But after many conversations it became clear that all the ladies who contacted me were on a mission to get me to spend as much money on credits as possible. It's as if the site targeted  pathetic punters like myself and sent the sort of msgs which would appeal to me and to which I was likely to respond, and I was taken in in many instances, However, not one chat out of hundreds led to any sort of contact outside the chatroom.

Is this normal? Are there any genuine ladies out there looking to contact someone for a date/one night stand/FwB?

Sorry to hear about your experience,
I find it's important to ask a lot of questions upfront about this to people

It's okay take it slow even tho first few weeks have been rough. Better to save time with the right one then risk it with a bad one.
