As I touched on in the last blog, I was in a chat room recently and just can't help but be baffled by how unsafe some people are when they go in these.
So after a few things I took notice of I decided to take it upon myself to help you out if you ever find yourself in a chat room and start to feel yourself about to do something stupid.
1. Never EVER give you your phone number - I could not believe the amount of people openly giving out their numbers to text with people. You're already in a room where you can talk to these people, and there is no mobility charge. Ever wonder why the person will decline to actually talk to you over the phone but will text no problem? Because you will figure out very quickly that SunshineSweetness, the self proclaimed sweet 17 year old girl from California is actually Rick, the 45 year old tilt-a-whirl operator.
2. Don't use provocative/dirty/haggard nicknames - I remember when I would use a nickname it would be something like Davey Havok (singer for the pop/punk band AFI). It's obviously not my real name, yet it's not something makes me look like a predator (I am not giving tips for predators here). Also when someones name is BigSexy McAbs, who describes themselves as 6'2", ripped athlete is most likely sitting there in their stained jogging pants, wider than they are tall eating a pot of Kraft Dinner for breakfast.
3. Don't try to fulfill disgusting sex fantasies - I actually saw someone looking for someone to have a fake marriage and/or rape.....I'm not even expanding on that because if you can't figure out what's wrong with that, I don't want you reading my blogs anymore.
4. Don't be an active douche - "GenericLoner: *walks over to Chickie22 and shakes her hand*" No...No you didn't, you sat there and typed that out. This isn't a real room with a gigantic, in person meet and greet. If that's what you need to do to feel like your making a physical connection with people, then you get your ass up, run down to the YMCA or YWCA and sign up for as many classes and activities as you can, because you obviously have the time for them.
I hope this has been educational for you, and remember, it only takes on time of Cyber Sex to get a virus, abstinence will keep your computer and my opinion of you, clean.
