It's a sad reality, but women literally risk life and limb by meeting a strange man. Dating platforms are crawling with predators, when one is identified it can take weeks or months to remove the account. Be patient out there gentlemen.

I had a friend that used to bring all her first dates to the bar I tended. Just in case.

Wait.... Because so many of them turned out to be predators?... On the first date? Like it was THAT common?

How many times did you have to step in and stop things?

I never had to actually step in for her. She'd just casually mention I was a friend, or introduce me, if things weren't good. Apparently, that settled things down.

We would occasionally get people who couldn't take a hint and we'd tossed them out when there were a complaints.

Oh that's good. Good job!
