Larry, I occasionally respond to unsolicited text messages by attaching photos of unattractive men and asking, "Do I look like a Mary (or whatever her name is)?"

THIS – right here – is exactly why I don't do any online dating.

It reminds me of a text I received from a stranger about a year ago: "Hi there. My name is Candice. You seem really nice."

My response: "Hi, 'Candice.' My name is Phil. Before we get to know each other, what is your bank's account and routing numbers, mother's maiden name, physical and mailing addresses, and zip code?"

Incredibly, "Candice" never responded ...

Timeless scam, and it's been used by men on women I know, also. That's a huge reason why I am not the least bit interested in online "dating".
