Re:Brainless kids online (Score 1)

I wish other people would reply, to give a broader experience base. I'm 41. I have met about 130 people that I have chatted with online. Out of those, I can honestly say I had only 1 bad experience. I had relationships with only a few. The rest were just one-time meets for coffee, lunch, dinner or drinks. I really do think MOST of the people online are good, honest, hardworking people. When you have chatted online for as long as I have, (since about 1997) you really do get a feel for the creepy ones. Sometimes it's just their screen name that gives you bad vibes. I stay away from chatting with those that have anything sexual in their screen names. I like to think that my success rate in meeting good people from online in person comes from common sense judgments. I would have to say as an aside...ALWAYS meet in a public place! ALWAYS have access to a way out, and ALWAYS make sure someone knows where you are meeting at and for how long.
