8 Embarrassing Mistakes You Won't Believe People On Dating Sites Make
8. The Sex-Pests
No prizes for guessing what these people do. The sex-pests just love to use friendly and non-threatening dating sites to find unsuspecting people to propose a sexual fantasy to. The perpetrators can often be the ones who are simply looking for a one-night stand after recently becoming single, or those who want to fulfil a fantasy with a like-minded partner. I've even seen an account run by a man & wife who were looking for a third party to join them in the bedroom. Well, they have my number now. There are plenty of websites perfectly suited for people with such sexual needs, of which I have subsequently bookmarked, but why these people need to infect the cleaner dating sites with their filth is beyond me. As the site moderators will often close down accounts that have drawn complaints for messages received, or nude pictures inexplicably sent, it's a big risk for sex-pests to use these sites instead of using ones where you'll be talking to like-minded individuals. Why on earth these people use these particular sites to showcase all the sordid details about themselves seems strange, considering how there's the chance there could well be somebody they know on the normal dating site. Whereas if such actions were on a website created for sexual liaisons, there's zero ambiguity about intentions which spares any potential embarrassment.
