Online dates from hell!


Forget about sweethearts from hell.. did u know online dates.. at least this part of the region and for a woman from a minority group especially can be hell?

Did you come across this version? The ageing (also probably shrinking) american who achieved nothing in life with a trail of single mothers who are suing him for backsupport.. now prostituting himself on every imaginable online dating website in return for a free meal/airline ticket and other favours? Forget about repute dating websites that promise security and vettings.. bullshit.. all predators do their homework well..especially on women and what they want... they hv had plenty of practice!

This is a classic case. Quite polished profile for starters..though once you are seasoned you will note the tell tale signs..it will take practice and a few disappointments but women are fast learners.

Mostly likely to assume some romantic and heroic sounding ID like warriors and poets.. will let show some sign of vulnerability.. like how the last girlfriend left him though he was perfect (hello? do ask why and listen carefully!) Then will pursue you like a lovelorn stalker.. don't forget to look up his 'lines'.. it probably came from some website.

'i love you' will be dropped on you by the 10th day.. and 'i want you to be the mother of my children by the 15th.' And then by the 30th just when you are totally flattered by all his attention.. he would throw this at you ..

"I am depressed. My ex who ran off with my mother's jewelleries (a story repeated each time an ex leaves him) is suing me for support to finance her live-in bf.. the city is suing me for saving an old woman of the road... my business partner's daughter died and i have to pay off all his debts.. my dysfunctional best friend cost me another (imaginary) 200K and i did not have anything to eat the whole day!".

Doesn't make sense? If he had done his 'groundwork' on you well.. it would and you'd probably be wiring him your hard earned cash! Guess what.. you are not the only one! You are just one of many 'paying' him for his full time conjob! I know some women who fell for it anyway. His 'victims' are always lonely and desperate older single women with good income... who need some validation for all the attention. Om shanti.. peace be all!

But on the bright side.. it would turn out to be an entirely amusing story you can share with your friends over teh tarik!
