Is it safe to trust men you meet on the internet?

Question

Even if they seem nice

Answer 1

Not on the first time you start chatting with them, as much as looks can deceive, Internet is not shy, what l mean is, anyone can be anything on the net, he can say" he's good looking, trustworthy etc" but the truth is the different.
What you need to do, if they send you a hot line, talk more before, telling him your real name, if he proves to be worthy the trouble, then photo exchange, and when you decide to meet, meet during the day and be a public place....
be nosey, ask many questions if you're in doubt, don't just fall for sweet nothings and cheap good looks, it can be the last thing you see.

Answer 2

I don't think it is safe to trust men on the Internet. They can lie about anything. But I know a couple who did meet on the net and they even got married, with a family now. Not sure how old you are either. If you are talking meeting someone via net, that's what I am talking about. But never meet someone in person, it is not safe. Heard bad stories of people meeting people in person.

Answer 3

Is it safe to trust men you meet on a bus/ in a bar/ at a club? You never know who you can trust until you get to know them. That's why you should watch what you say, what you do, and what opportunities you give them. As far as the internet, you can't even trust your personal information to a company until you make sure that they are legitimate because of all the things that they could do to hurt you, and that's thinking of them as a big nameless, faceless company. A person that you are talking to one on one would probably pay more attention to the little things you say, get information out of you in a round-about way, and cause you more harm. Be careful.

Answer 4

You know, everybody talks about the "safety" issue of meeting people who you hook up with on line. I agree that this is one of the issues, maybe the biggest issue.

But there's another issue here that is never discussed in these questions about "should you hook up with people from on-line." And that is that, even if the person is completely honest with you about their life, you've talked on the phone, you've emailed them, and you have a sense that what they are telling you is true - even if all of that is the case, there is still a huge possibility that you will not hit it off in person. And the reason is because there are many many aspects of a person's character and appearance that you can't get over the Internet, even if they are sending you photos. We make decisions about possible romantic relationships based on a number of unconscious factors: our past childhood and family experiences, our past relationship experiences and past partners, and our current desires about romantic love and what qualities we are looking for. None of this stuff can be determined over the Internets or over the phone. You must meet them in person to determine any of this.

And generally, many many people are disappointed when they finally meet in person. There is just too much that can't be determined over the Internets.

My only advice is to get it off-line and into the real world as soon as you can. Don't wait 3, 4, or 6 months to meet. Do it as soon as possible. Do it safely, but just do it. Then you are not wasting time projecting what this person is going to be like, setting yourself up for disappointment.

Answer 5

Most of us are just plain old ordinary folks who would make great neighbors. We just have time on our hands for one reason or another and we enjoy interaction with other people in this format. However, with that said, there are creeps out there who are stalking people for their personal information, address, credit card number, etc. Who knows what they will do with whatever you give them. Unfortunately it is not a good idea to give anyone any personal info unless they are very close personal friends or family. As President Reagan said so eloquently, "Trust but verify". Don't give anyone any personal info, no matter how sincere they may seem. Remember, those who stalk are usually pros and are therefore very convincing..

Answer 6

Not safe to trust any man. If you're going to meet tham in public, go to public places where you are safe. Don't get into their cars until you know them REALLY well. Always err on the side of caution - some intelligent women marry child molesters and rapists. You can never be too careful in this world.

Answer 7

It just as safe as trusting men you meet anywhere else - in school, on the street, on the bus, at the grocery store, at a friend's party, on a single's cruise... You name it. The Internet - "not just for predators anymore"; most people online are just regular folks like you and I. Just exercise your common sense, just as you would in any other life situation that involves meeting strangers.

I met my husband on the Internet. Needless to say - I trust him. :)

Answer 8

are you able to have confidence a guy you meet at a bar, a club, church, the food market, college, the wellbeing club? What distinction does it make the place you meet him? some human beings lie, some human beings do not. maximum all and sundry is on the internet those days, so in case you do not have confidence them, then you definately knock out the final public of guys. If I have been you, i does not have confidence the guy who asks to purchase you a drink. have confidence the guy that needs to get to appreciate you while your strategies is obvious.

Answer 9

Nope, not a chance. It is too easy to be deceptive on the internet. You can bet that almost all the men you would meet have a secret agenda. Many are married or predators.

Answer 10

I met my man on singlesnet.com. he is wonderful.. I have also met others that were creepy. Just make sure that if and when you meet it is in a public place, then follow your instinct. I feel there is no different meeting on the internet verses a bar or out in public. Good Luck!!
