What advice do you have for women considering this option? What do they need to know in order to protect themselves from potential predators?
Always meet in a public place. Never go to the guy’s house or let him pick you up. Never let him know where you live no matter how nice he is. Successful predators are always nice. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be successful. Don’t get sucked in.

of Greg’s answers, the one above was most terrifying. I’ve not found Cathy’s answers. I will look for her responses, unless there is a link I missed.

Recently single I’ve tried online whatever one calls it. All I can say, so far, is wild. I’ve not met anyone yet, by choice. But I have voice on my machine from Glascow, Rome, Dublin, Wales, ….a theme emerges…

Kels, I think you have a man panel topic there. Boy, I’d love to hear Rob’s take on that one.

Thanks to Greg for his honesty. Great post. After reading both Greg’s and Cathy’s posts I think it still comes down to dating being a process. Whether you do it online or not, it’s still a matter of finding someone you click with. It seems like the online option probably offers more opportunities and speeds the process.

Morning all..

I found this line interesting…

Half the women I have met have contacted me first. More women have contacted me then I have contacted, usually ones that I don’t want to be contacted by.

Just wondering what do you do when someone contacts you that you’d rather they didn’t? Quick go look at their profile and then just say I’m not interested? What if they’re a sucky writer (lol) and they turned out to be a great person, but you’d never know…..and vice versa, what if they have their profile written up professionally to make them ‘look’ super cool, but really aren’t….

one of the perils of online dating!

kelsey…lol….

Okay – I found the part about the bill splitting fascinating. He will accept her offer to split if he’s not interested, but won’t allow her to pay if he IS interested. I wonder what our pal Evan would have to say about how that fits into the heterosexual mating dance and desire to impress?

“Me man. Me like you woman. Me pay.”

“Me man. Me no likey you woman. You pay.”

LOL,

I don’t know about you all, but I found Cathy and Greg’s differing answers on where they end up at the close of the evening fascinating. Greg’s going to “her” house and Cathy’s going to “his” house. LOL

I especially found their similar answers to why try Internet dating – meet more people – interesting. Greg likened Internet dating to a part-time job. How perfect is that? Sounds like the “benefits” are good.

A special thanks to both Cathy P and Greg for sharing their insights with us.
