It's a good thing, Hercules. I am paranoid, too! I turn down many many appointment request because I am not comfortable in how the guy writes in e-mail. It's that gut feeling I always listen to. I am always weary about guys who INSIST of sending me a picture of him even after I declined saying it's not necessary. I am more interested in your references and if you are clean, polite, respectful and will treat me like a person. And my instinct is always right on this one. Usually the guy ends up writing me back and forth for no reason just to waste my time and looking for a girlfriend or a real life date. And it also tells me that he does not value DISCRETION as highly as I do since he's sending his pictures to many people. Originally Posted by samantha thom+1

The worst thing that can happen from being overly cautious is missing out on what could have been a fun experience.
That's a small price to pay for avoiding the opposite worst case scenario.
Here's a hypothetical that actually happened to me. I showed up to a girl's hotel which required a room key to ride the elevator. When I texted for the room number, she told me her room key was hidden next to a fire hydrant out back. I told her a work emergency had popped up and promptly left the premises. Was I being paranoid? Probably. Do I regret it? Not at all. Originally Posted by addict
Because all her other clients and who-knows-else knows if they see someone picking up that key by the hydrant know what they're there for and know they got a bit of cash on them.

Where is common sense nowadays?
