Every man I met online was a user and loser. Maybe it was my age, early 50's. Several were broke from traumatic divorce and, thus, bitter. Then others with health issues looking for a caregiver...forget about romance; it was all mercenary. I literally almost lost my home and financial stability. This was over a period of about 10 years when I was intent on meeting "Mr. Right.". Should I have been more discerning? For sure, and I admit to being a trusting person, but I'm not naive. There are a lot of con artists out there. I also know some females who are currently working the money angle, and shamelessly.
