Fetters4U -> RE: Best ways for subs to stay safe going from online to real world? (11/29/2011 1:57:39 PM)

While I seriously doubt the veracity of the originator of this thread, it is nevertheless a useful topic. Probably the most vulnerable time for everyone concerned is the first meeting. Chances are you have been sending emails, exchanging photos, using IM and talking on cell phones. None of these provide any verifiable information about the person you are meeting. Coffee shops and libraries have internet connections. Anyone can set up a Yahoo or Gmail account. Anyone can Photoshop an image. Disposable cells phones do not require a billing address. So, you are going to a meeting with some one you have never met, you do not know what they look like, you do not know their real name, and you do not know where they live. The profiles are full of tales of folks meeting people who did not look like their photos. You could hand everything you know to the cops before you leave, and when they find your body, they still won't know where to start. Brilliant! Web cam is a useful tool, since you actually know what the person looks like. This is slightly better than meeting in a bar, since you can screen grab their image and mail it to your friends. At least the cops will have something to show on the news. With all due respect to Ms. Lockit, the board is correct when it describes you as deranged. First, knowing only your name and address, I can cause you endless harm without coming within 1000 miles of your home. You have heard of identity theft, right? Secondly, the Master, Mistress, Dom or Domme is in just as much danger as the sub. Surely we have all run into psychos in our travels on CM? Why should I meet a violence inclined nut job in her lair? I ask for my coffee black; she takes it as a racial slur and empties a magnum into my chest. No thanks. I actually think folks into kink are slightly safer than vanillas. I mean, if I meet a girl from eHarmony, she is hoping that I will not beat her up, bind her and use her for sex. If I meet one from Collar Me, she is hoping that I will. Joking aside, other than meeting in a very public place, has anyone come up with a really good way to manage the first real-world contact?
