"As an aside - with the ability to tell if a guy is sleazy and if his behavior would be unpredictable by taking a moment's look at his head shot, whom should I work for - the police or the CIA? "
My response to this is that if you are one that judges by the look of someone in a profile pic, you're delusional if you think that you can know anything aside from physical appearances by someone's pic. Outside of someone posting a topless, risque pic, I don't think you can tell and NO, I don't think either the CIA or Police would count this as a criteria for being hired.

This all aside from the fact that the guy happens to be someone questionable in his behavior. I've had many people judge me based on the way that I am very quiet and reserved and assume I was just arrogant which is far from the truth once people get to know me.

Unless you're able to look into his credentials I highly doubt that it's something to necessarily trust in the first place and the fact is it has nothing to do with ethical and moral behavior. There are plenty of sleazy people, in every walk of life, assuming that only sleazy people are at the bottom of the work force or uneducated is just being naive. Anyone with a capable mind and intelligence can obtain credentials.

A bigger question is, whether or not you believe you can judge someone by their looks, the fact is it brings to mind the question as to 1. why did you even engage with this person, give him your information to be able to text you and 2. why would you even agree to meet someone that not only do you NOT KNOW at all but that you are also suspicious of? I don't understand that.

My advice is to walk away from this. On top of that, if you are to continue meeting people via online methods please take the time to check them out and/or get to know them well somehow long before you try to meet them. I'm not one to frame the world as if it is a dangerous place for people but the risk does exist and even if it's remote the consequences are heavy. Please be more careful.
