If I could have picked 0 stars for Match.com I would. Basically I am both disgusted and frightened about some of the people they freely allow on their site. They say that their members go through a background screening but I doubt that is the case. I met someone on their site who basically lied about his name, what he did, his family, I mean everything. I of course didn't find all of this out until after I had gone out with him. While on our date I began to become increasingly uncomfortable because he started to get aggressive and I started to feel completely unsafe. There was a gut instinct I had and I should have listened to it -- if something or someone seems too good to be true they probably are. A very good male friend of mine pointed out a very scary thing to me while we were discussing this guy and what had happened. He said --- well basically your profile was a perfect roadmap to you, it told him exactly what was important to you and why. Predators and creeps rely on that sort of thing, that's what makes it so much easier for them to succeed in their goals. After thinking this through I realized those points are completely true...which is what makes the whole situation all the scarier. I'm lucky that nothing really bad happened to me given the fact that I was basically deceived by someone who obviously had nothing but the worst of intentions. I would persuade all women who are going to utilize online dating to do background checks on perspective people. I guess I was just too naive and too stupid to realize I should have dug more. I will never again do online dating --- I'll find my match the old fashioned way.
