Online Dating is Dangerous by Ildi Amon
An Australian expert on the dating industry has issued another warning about the risks of trying to find a partner online.
Ms Rosalind Baker, a Melbourne author and Principal of the long established Entre Nous Introduction Service, says online dating is unregulated and poses many risks to females as well as males.
'A 50 year old separated woman told me she had a series of photos air-brushed to be used for online dating.' 'The photos were extremely successful, making her look 25 years' younger. Not surprisingly she received more than 150 replies.'
'But if appearance and youthfulness were the key factors, then her male callers would eventually have felt let-down,' she said.
Ms Baker said of course some people were successful in finding a partner online but there are hidden dangers with male predators trawling online.
'Obviously I have my own barrow to push but an introduction service, such as Entre Nous introduction agency, ensures the dating process is much more selective and safe. 'We screen our clients to eradicate risks and dangers for both men and women.
'When single women and single men come to us we can draw a picture of who our prospective clients are and what they are doing with their lives. We can quickly gather some idea about their personality, core values, lifestyles and even flaws.'
Ms Baker, recognised as one of Australia's leading authorities on courtship, has written three best-sellers 'Dial A Man', 'Dial A Woman' and 'Dial A Personality'.
'With online dating, there is always the risk of misrepresentation.'
'People lie about their age, their weight; they produce old photographs or airbrushed photos. Our service is regulated.'
'We are told that many people often wile away their time trawling online. People looking for partners, however, need to be warned that there are inherent dangers searching for 'Mr or Ms Perfect' online.'
