I'm not rich anymore, right now...and my winking several states away didn't creep you out. But then again I am devilishly handsome. Maybe you just thought the guy was old? Creepy = old in chick speak. Unless you secretly hated my winking, them I'm running away.

No, I just don't want to have to carry my own gun to defend my kid against a perv, which I would do in a heartbeat. I generally have great instincts when it comes to people in person, online that is a little more difficult.

If the site is specifically for single parents, then I would be suspicious of men who don't have kids joining up.

This is probably going to sound very sexist, but I could understand a woman who couldn't have kids joining because women have a strong maternal instinct and must go through hell trying to conceive through IVF, etc. She'd want to meet a man who has kids. But a man? First off, many aren't thrilled about being fathers and some shirk their responsibilities. Secondly, it's not a huge deal if a man is the one who is sterile -- there's always the sperm bank. And, lastly, there are single mums EVERYWHERE in real life looking for partners/stepfathers so they aren't difficult to find if that's what you want.

I'd be very cautious.

Did he write anything else to indicate why he might legitimately be on that site?

I think the red flag is the fact that he made mention of having a lot of money. That kind of announcement seems like bait to me...for what? I don't know, but I would just delete the email and move on.

I should add that I view this as I do married people showing up on singles' sites. They need to step off.

He didn't actually say it, but on his profile it states over $300,000 annual income. But that accompanied by the fact he DOESN'T have kids, and isn't even in the same state. It just sort of reminds me of Michael Jackson for some reason..lol.

Don't take this too personally, but I didn't think about where you were, and the only picture I see of a person on your profile is someone's feet.

I went to a dating site for Latino women and there were still women on there who were black, and white


I'm trying to understand your point

Did you think they belonged on there? And did you read the profiles actually to make sure the women weren't Puerto Rican or something because I've seen lots of blond, red headed, and black looking Latinos.

Latinos can be white, black or brown. It's an ethnicity, not a race.
