[QUOTE="Derbyshire Boy, post: 1846295, member: 483039"] All jokes & humour aside, it really is a minefield out there for those genuinely looking for companionship. There are some really dodgy individuals of both sexes, on the hunt for victims. Sometime after my wife died, I started using online dating sites. I didn't want a heavy relationship at that stage, just the company of an interesting and intelligent lady to do simple things with, like going to see a film or going out for a curry. I missed female company, tbh. I had about 6 or 7 dates via the dating sites, and out of those, FOUR had been ripped off or conned in some way by a feller and felt ashamed and sick of themselves. Those women, plus another lady I met, not online, who'd also been ripped off, makes for a very high percentage of victims if you think about it. I've also heard since of men being equally conned by women. It was a whole world I knew nothing about, having been happily married for almost 28 years - and it was a big shock to find out about what can happen sometimes. [/QUOTE]
