Allow me to clarify. When I said "weak" I didn't mean physically. And I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone or piss on anyone's situation, and if I did, please accept my apology. No one deserves to be ripped off, that's true. However, when my team is down and seemingly out. I will be the last one they can come to for a warm glass of milk and cookies. I prefer the, "let's get up and go kick some butt" approach.
I do understand the emotional side of things, but "not aware" that such scams existed? Hello.....since when did a little research and self educating into such a serious endeavor and potentually dangerous thing like online dating kill anyone? After 2 years of not dating at all, (for a variety of reasons) I decide to try something different...ONLINE DATING. So before I jump right into the frying pan and get burned, I'm going to learn about what I'm up against. I educate myself by coming to this website and reading up on some of the posted stuff you all have provided for my education. And trust me, I checked out more than a few sites similar to this one. I decided this was a good place after realizing the amount of time and effort Wayne and Frumpy put into this place, not to mention the members and what you all have been through.
I appreciate your replies, and do know that if I got into this whole online dating thing without reading your stories, posts and comments first, I might have been "not aware" that such scams existed, then got myself ripped off and would have ended up emotionally raped. But because some of you fell down and got hurt, in a manner of speaking, and I was smart enough to look into the how and why part of it, those things I can be aware of. It's called being proactive.
Again, sorry if I ruffled some feathers and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Don't forget, I'm on your side
