Safety First For Men On Blind Dates

Safety Advice From Websites

Most dating websites have advice on safety.

The Worried Man

For men the advice is don’t give out your identity nor send money to strangers on the web.

Okay, so he picks a woman in the UK (or wherever he lives). What could go wrong?

Here are my warnings.

He could find himself with a suicidal woman who wants him to kill her - she’s willing to write a note to the police saying she asked him to do it.

He might meet a woman who wants him to pretend to rape her in order to fulfil her fantasy. What a dream, but she wants this to happen on the staircase, and what if her elderly neighbour calls the police.

Then what if her tough spouse, who is an expert in martial arts, gets home unexpectedly and thinks this is for real? Or maybe she planned for her spouse to arrive in the nick of time and to feel sorry for her.

Or the new date could unnerve our good man by telling him about her four previous lives in other centuries.

Other problems from a man’s point of view are:

Going back to her home and her husband suddenly appears (angry heterosexual). Going back to her place and her flatmate / girlfriend appears (angry lesbian). Spouse could appear by accident. Or pre-arranged robbery or blackmail.

‘She’ could be a man in drag.

It can be tragic. It can be funny. I hope for you it will always be the latter.
