It can be dangerous for anybody. After a while online, you start to be
able to figure out that you wait, watch, investigate (if you can).

Sometimes you get caught with a clunker and it ends up being a real mess
in some of the most horrible ways possible.

Sometimes you find good friends you thought would be spectacular mates
before you met but then in person...not so much. But you still like the
friendly camaraderie.

Sometimes you find otherwise decent people you just plain wouldn't like
if you'd met them in real life first and vice versa.

And sometimes you find a gem.

The point is that if you keep going and allow yourself to learn along
the way, it's just like any other dating game, in real life or not. The
dangers are just different.

And sometimes it's not even internet dating. I once contributed $25 the
getting-out-of-a-real-mess fund of an MT in a bad situation only to find
out later I didn't know the whole story (or I wouldn't have sent the
money). I wouldn't have known who to ask anyway, really. The pitch was
made, I sent the money, then found out the real story, and felt sick to
my stomach for a while.

I wasn't very clear on the "dangers to men," I guess. What I was told
that there were women in these online dating places just looking for
lonely old men to ensnare. They would sould like they were really
interested in a relationship, then ask for money for "a trip, an
emergency, etc."
