I'm a 6 year online veteren of chat rooms. As a female, I would strongly urge other females NOT to use Yahoo chat. Aside from it being full of bots, spammers, pedos, pic traders and cammers, it is also ground zero for men posing as women. I also have to agree with the comment about middle and near eastern males on Yahoo chat. My experience has found them to be consistantly rude, crude and condescending.
