Ok, so im just posting on the forums as usual, and I go back to my profile to tweak a few things, and I notice someone added me to her favorites.
Now, normally I'd be flattered, and I wrote back telling her as such after sending her a message saying hello....and when I read her messaback to me her gmail address was attached and she wanted to "get to know me better." JUST like that. Didnt' want to talk on this site at all.

Now by some stretch of the imagination let's assume I wasn't born yesterday and didn't fall off the common sense wagon banging my head on every rock along the way, because when I replied I said "Well that's very flattering, but I'd rather we talk on her and get to know each other. I don't just give out my personal e-mail address by the first comment."

Literally less than five minutes later, not only was I sturck off her faves, my email was ignored and her behavior kinda confirmed that she was either very desperate for male attention....or she was probably a hacker...assuming she even WAS a she behind that profile, lol!

Anyway, to anyone reading this, I guess it's not such an uncommon thing to run into desperate people or people that just want an intimate encounter under the guise of something else, OR maybe something even more sinister.

My point is be safe and cautious.

And if anyone else on this site tries to pull that "email me at my personal address today" stuff, my lies-and-bull detector will be onto you, you will be ignored, blocked and possibly reported to the site admins for unsafe practices.

To everyone else who HAS a brain with common sense enough to figure out the difference of a desperate person and a cautious one, my biggest praise and congrats for having such a keen eye and exceptional intuitive skills.

In my opinion I may have dodged a bullet today. granted that bullet was kinda pretty in my humble opinion....but so were the sirens on the rocks when the pirates ships got too close, if you get the reference! Mom didn't raise an idiot.

Be aware of lures on here and as always,
Happy Mingling!
