I might use the block feature for "pervs", not for any other reason.

Can't imagine an online conversation deteriorating to then extent that
blocking was necessary?????? Well, for me....

Hmmm - ego?

Would you REALLY meet someone in person from online?


Yes, I did. I'm glad I met them; they were decent and as advertised.



In general common sense tells you - hopefully you're not sooo needy and
desperate that you're blinded by fantasy and end up being one of "those"
statistics.

Positive and Negative

You can edit what you say...

What you say is NOT complicated by body language

Customer service - touchy subject for me.
I'm an independent decisive shopper - I don't need or want someone
hovering around offering opinions, directing me to purchase other
things, chatting, wanting to befriend me.
Leave me be - if I want help I will politely ask for it.
Ideally no words need to be exchanged - a smiling nod, or just a smile
will suffice.

real person..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I believe that you can attract an honest woman - do you?
