The A&E channel tonight is airing a show called "Dating App Horrors: The Untold Story"

I plan on watching it.

I am watching it...this won't help.

Out of the millions of online daters what percentage are druging, raping or killing their dates?

Take a chance on life or stay at home I'm thinking.

I know this thread is not current but it occurs to me an answer should be given.

One of the reasons I fell out with TV is it's news cycles and shows such as the ones mentioned by catinidaho.

If you listen to the news, their motto is pretty much if it bleeds it leads. Listen to it long enough and you will believe where ever you live, you are in the centre of a hot bed of the worse of humanity that exists.

Yes it's awful to hear of some weirded out individual that acted anything less than that of a man with principles and manners. You have to remember there are always those less than well adjusted out there in the world. They are not just glued to dating apps but are anywhere in the world. Not only anywhere in the world but at most times in history. Jack the ripper ring a bell as an example? Trust me, he wasn't doing dating apps.

Thing is soon or later if you seek the one to be your only, you do have to take that chance of a face to face. How else are you going to get going on it? No amount of chatting through apps is going to replace that.

The percentage chance you are going to met someone with the idea of doing you bodily harm is very, very, low. Almost down to a nothing.

Worry about real things, imaginings will lead you all sorts of places but having them actually happen?

Sammy, this thread is current. I started it today. I think these stories are getting worse. People need to take charge of their lives and see what is going on around them.

You can tell I'm not on the ball Cat.

News will always be this way. It's what sells. Even worse, the video types, such as TV and national media will get you all wrapped up in how they want to present it, what sort of bias they want to throw in it, and of course, since there are only 4 major corporate owners all all major news outlets in the US, whatever benefits them.

I've learned to read my news. There's less of all this emotional impact of just how bad things are. In the process I've discovered there are still great people out there to meet, the world isn't coming to an end by our fellow humans as evil doers, and allowed, we get along just fine.

Do you know it's been 2 years since I last had dealings with a cop? Before that it was 8 years. That's hardly the hot bed of crime ya know?

I've seen a lot of these stories everywhere, in magazines.

I think that nobody watched this.

Can say I didn't. I only watch about 2 to 3 hours of TV a month. Have totally gotten out of the couch potato thing.

ok

I don't watch tv at all.


There could be a show about people
rescuing kittens.
It would be a happy show.

However, trauma and shock draw higher
ratings. Ratings = advertising dollars.

Okay, the kitty show I would watch.
