Barbara its not only NOT safe its actually stupid. Hey if you want to diddle around on the Internet thats fine but to actually meet one of these men. To me its not much different than phone sex. Whats not a bold face lie is usually fantasy. My friend and groomer of my dogs was married for 25 years to a man who became addicted to the Internet, he told her a year or so ago he was in love with a woman in Kansas City. He packed up his car and off he went to meet this person. They apparently did move in together for three months then he showed up on my friends doorstep saying the woman was not what she pretended to be and was only looking for a work horse for her farm...strike 1. Because he had desereted her ands she was a long time resident here she had gotten a divorce while he was gone, oops strike 2...then there was a bill forwarded to my friends home stating he owed several thousand dollars for things this other woman put on his credit cards....He stood on my friend porch begging for forgiveness, suitcase in one hand, "laptop" in the other, strike 3 and YOUR OUT!!! Beware ladies because if it sounds to good to be true, it is!
