Internet Dating; Who says you can't put a price on love?

To be fair, all those Internet dating sites do what they do well. But then again, so do nuclear warheads, and I don’t think I’d have much luck around them either.

Midlife Dating Alert! How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved

Wesley's picture

No secret what the book "How to Spot Dangerous Men Before You Get Involved" is about. By "dangerous" the author doesn't just mean violent. Men who inflict mental abuse can be just as poisonous. Sadly there are many violent and abusive men in the world including those that are mentally ill, addicted, emotionally unavailable or for unknown reasons just prey on women. »more»
