In the days following the heartbreaking tragedy in Aurora, Colorado, people began scouring the internet for any evidence they could find about the alleged shooter, James Holmes. Despite not having a Facebook account, two dating profiles arose: one for Match.com, and one for AdultFriendFinder. <\/p>\n

Understandably, online daters may have found this disturbing. The idea that you could be matched with a human being as deranged as someone who shot over 70 innocent people is a scary thought. However, the screenshots of the profile that were shared with the world are a good look into the type of person you SHOULD DEFINITELY NEVER CONTACT ON A DATING SITE.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Right there. At the top. The first thing you read on someone’s dating profile.<\/p>\n

If a person’s dating profile headline says WILL YOU VISIT ME IN PRISON<\/b>, your first move should be hitting the back button, and your second move should be NEVER EVER CONTACTING THEM EVER.<\/p>\n

In the same way that you probably wouldn’t pursue a relationship with a person you met at a bar who introduced himself with “will you visit me in prison?”, the same goes for a person who would put that in their dating profile. Despite what some “journalists” are assuming<\/a>, the fact that James Holmes had an online dating profile isn’t an argument against<\/i> online dating, it’s an argument for<\/i> smart dating, all the time, whether online or not. Using discretion and good reasoning is a part of being an adult in the dating world, because NEWS FLASH: there are crazies everywhere<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It’s a little thing called common sense, and sometimes I think it’s something in which we ALL need a refresher course.<\/p>\n\n
