There are predators out there and you must be very careful in your Internet dating quest. You don't have to get paranoid about everyone you meet, but common sense should prevail. Having your guard up is helpful. Most people are very naive to predatory behavior because most people are trusting and predators are very good at what they do. With a little caution, you can avoid being a victim.
        There are two main types of predators: the sexual predator, and the money predator. They can come in both the female and the male versions, though generally speaking men are predators, both the sexual and money types.
        Women predators are usually known by another name: the gold digger. This is the woman looking for a guy with a lot of money and little confidence. A shrewd woman can take a nerdy rich guy by the nose and get him to do most anything; like buy her lots of stuff.
        Most women are not sexual predators. As a matter of record, if you know any, I’d appreciate your sending them my way. If you find a woman who is a sexual predator, consider changing your role from dating her to becoming her pimp. You’ll make a lot of money and then you can have many bitches and hoes.

The sexual predator is very much like the lecher, so go to that section now to learn more about this type of individual. Here we are concerned with the money predator.
        For you guys, don’t flaunt your wealth if you have any. Driving up in the fancy car or taking a woman to your luxury Manhattan condo sends the right message to hop into bed, but the wrong message for avoiding the gold digger.
        Since you made a lot of money, assuming you didn’t inherit it, you have to have something upstairs. Don’t be tempted to think with your alter ego – Mr. Penis. If you do want to flaunt your wealth to attract hot woman, go for it, but don’t fool yourself, they are not in love with you as much as they are in love with your money.

Since men are the predominant predators, you ladies have to pay attention. There are guys you may meet on Internet dating sites who want nothing more than to live off of your wealth - they want your money. They are looking for a fast path to easy street.
        You don’t have to be a millionaire to be used for your money. A steady job with a decent income (and "decent income" is a relative thing) can allow the predator to meander around doing a menial job while they live in your house and have you pay all the expenses. Of course they’ll love you forever-and-ever and they are usually pretty good at this kind of bullshit. If all you’re looking for is to have a kept man, this may work for you, but if you want a meaningful relationship, then you have to figure this out and move on.

So you women have to avoid flaunting your money, too. Try not to mention things like your inheritance, trust fund, or anything that may indicate you have a lot of money. There are times you just can't hide it. If you were divorced from a professional person or a successful business person, the predator can figure this out relatively easy. For example, you live in a big home and your ex-husband, either from death or divorce was a professional man. You drive a Mercedes and dress classy. These are signs that you may have some money and they are difficult to hide.
        You may want to drive up to the first date on a bike, wearing sweats and discuss how interesting it is cleaning homes to pay for your old collge loans. It may also be wise to avoid discussing financial matters, and if you do, play down your money. You may even be wise to mention things like you may have to sell your home due to the big mortgage that keeps you struggling. Stories like that will discourage the predator.
        When you are in a relationship, the basic rule is that if it’s too good to be true, you are probably having a relationship with a predator. Sadly, we are all looking for that "too good to be true relationship." The tricky part is that most nice relationships start in the honeymoon phase and the honeymoon is supposed to be "too good to be true."
        The reason your parents, friends and loved ones have told you, and will continue to tell you, not to rush into a relationship when you tell them you are in love after two months, is to give the honeymoon phase a chance to end. That way you can see the true form the relationship will take. The longer you wait to make a commitment the more chance you can find out if this guy or gal is a fraud.

The money predator may cheat on you while professing his love. You may notice little inconsistencies in his stories. A predator can maintain multiple relationships while pledging his love to each one. If you are observant you will catch him in little lies that indicate he is cheating on you, his one-and-only true love.
        A really good predator will wine you and dine you if that's what you want. They are good at reading your desires, wants and needs. They will tell you how beautiful you are and how smart you are. Yes, they will drown you with compliments. They know how to play the dating game with little gifts, tickets to shows and taking you to do everything that your spouse never liked. They will play upon your past experience. If your ex-husband badgered you about keeping the house clean, this guy will be sure to tell you that doesn't matter to him. If your husband complained about your weight, this guy will tell you it's more for him to love. He will play upon your emotions and weaknesses. The predator is the ultimate controller, but he does it in a smart fashion.
        The predator will eventually want to discuss things like moving in, buying property with you (using your money) and he may also appreciate your help with little things like his rent. He may hint at gifts he could use like a new car if you have a lot of money, or some clothing if you don't have big bucks.
        When you are in love, it is easy to want to shower gifts on your lover. Please beware the predator. The relationship will end in ruin if you fall for this type of person and you will be heartbroken.
