This cautionary tale can apply to any dating site, but was specifically about MySpace a few years back.....
Since I am single I must admit that I often use Myspace as a way to meet new people. A year ago there was a man who added me, and I must admit first I thought he was really cute. He asked for my phone number, so after asking me for about three weeks I finally caved in. I had given other guys on Myspace my cell phone number, but I wish I had looked at this new guy's profile a little bit more before I did. It turns out he was quite the Lothario and Do Juan who loved to party it up every weekend. He posted numerous messages to each girl's MySpace page, so by the time it was too late I realized I was just another picture conquest for him.
Thought I Was In The Clear
Mr. Myspace did not call me for about three weeks, so I was relieved and thought he had lost my number. Unfortunately my luck ran out when he started sending some really inappropriate text messages the next day. I asked Mr. Myspace to never text me again, and he asked when we could hang out. I told him we would never be hanging out, and I did not hear from him again for almost six months.
He Resurfaces
After six months Mr. Myspace starts sending me several random text messages about wanting to get together, and not for the type of dates I was interested in. There have been a few nice guys I meet on Myspace that I did not end up dating, but at least I could call these gentlemen friends. Mr. Myspace continues to send me weird texts wondering when we can hook up. I am not going to report him because I do not see him as a threat, but he seems really interested in building up conquests.
His Myspace profile come across as a major player's arena where he engages a different girl every night of the week, but now I am beginning to think maybe he is just desperate. I have not heard from him for a couple of months now, but it will be amusing to see what he next text message says. Sometimes for fun I used to text him back and tell him his new name was Mr. Syrup Man and ask him if you likes to go swimming in vats of syrup, but he did not seem to have a response to that text.
