Internet Predators

Posted by EshaEsha under: HERstory .

I’m sure everyone has seen Chris Matthew’s Dateline series, To Catch A Predator. There’s always some dumb pedophile being caught with his pants down (literally) while they’ve been trying to solicit sex from minors via the internet. It never ceases to amaze me, that after the airing of these shows, there are men/women out there who insist on trolling the internet to lure young boys & girls.

Last night I was speaking with a friend who is no stranger to online dating. We were discussing how she’s noticed the same men on just about every dating site there could possibly be. The same men are on Match.com, Yahoo Personals, E-Harmony (those commercials crack me up), Black People Meet, BlackPlanet and even Adult Friend Finder.

These men are the new version of “INTERNET PREDATORS”.

Half of them aren’t even original with the information they place on these sites, what you’ll notice is that everything is just copied & pasted from one profile to another. They’ve definitely given up on the concept of originality.

The first question she told me she usually asks a guy, is if they’ve met anyone offline before. Now, you’d think one would tell the truth about that question. Right. Wrong. For the most part, the same men she’s seen on other sites, are the ones who always claim that they’ve never met anyone from an online dating site. I truly find that hard to believe. If you’re on several sites at one time, what’s the point in being on them if you’re not meeting women?

Even when I caught my own ex on Adult Friend Finder and even read the emails that he was sending women, when I asked him the who/what/when/where/why’s…he immediately denied any wrong doing. Even after I discovered his profile and set up a dummy profile to bust him, we were literally in two different rooms in his house corresponding with each other via the dummy profile, he set up a meeting/date time, he even showed up to meet this ‘dummy’ profile person; when I confronted him, he denied any wrong doing still.

Personally, I think some men are addicted to internet dating only because it takes little to no effort. A man will send a woman an email, she responds, you exchange phone numbers and possibly hook-up with in a matter of days…and if they’re copying & pasting the same email to more than one women, that’s just about every day of the week covered with women.

But of course, the lie they’ll always use is, “No, I’ve never met anyone from the internet”.

I think the boldest internet predators are the guys that post phoney pics and lie about how they look and then still agree to meet up with you knowing they dont look anything like their picture or anything like they described….thats just a hot ass mess!!!!

I say do your research ladies, google, all of that, cuz guys will just lie until they blue in the face…I say all our guilty until proven innocent

To be honest, I’ve never done online dating and I dont think I ever will. Its a little scary to think of some shirtless dude with a huuuge potbelly and balding head lying to me and making me believe Im about to hook up with Morris Chestnut!!! That would be the ULTIMATE disappointment of my life I think. And thats just the one who wants to get some. Think of all the ones who want to kidnap, gold dig or do something worse to the women they meet online.

Plus, Im not at my best on pics … I can never find one which I would actually use if anyone asked me to send them a pic of me.
