Last night on the premiere of “Reinforce Stereotypes TV”… I mean VH1 Flavor Flav kicked off all of the internet girls, picked by you the viewer. Honestly, they did pick a sorry crop of women. Now don’t get me wrong they could have been the best people on the inside, but… would you eat off of a dirty plate? I think not.

Speaking of the internet one of my readers Becca sent me a story on online dating sites that are starting to run criminal checks on its members.

“The online dating industry tends to get a real bad rap, because of criminal activity,” said True.com’s founder and chief executive, Herb Vest. “If we were to clean up, there’s hordes of off-line singles who’d come online to find their soul mate.” source

Yes, maybe but as of now, they’re off line meeting seemingly nice guys and not getting a background check ran on him or her so should online dating be any different? I wonder if that would make online dating more appealing to ladies. Would this be an extra layer of protection or just another fail attempt to make us feel safe?

Take the BTK Killer, he was a normal looking guy, but he was binding, torturing, and killing people for 20 years so, would this really work? You never know when someone is going to snap. I had a girl wind up and slap the hell out of me for no reason whatsoever one day. I didn’t meet her online, I met her at my job. I won’t lie, I cried. I had a giant hand print on the side of my face for 2 days.

I guess all I’m saying is that when you decide to date someone you take chances, you never know when you’re going to find the right one. You might end up being with someone you never intending on liking or loving. A smooth criminal may walk into your life, and rob you blind, or you might meet a reformed felon who is putting their life back together and is really interested in loving you.
