Whoa. This is quite disturbing eh?

It begs to question why these villains are even allowed back into society. Sure seems like the sooner you get out of the dating game, the better. Way too risky these days.

First of all, seems to be a flawed publication as their source material is rather outdated.

As to the 'villains', some people can change to a better path and in the end, it can be a mental torture to be alone. Of course, it is sad to see and know people use it to fish victims but a lot of them are also used by honest people. A sex offender doesn't have to mean criminal for life and can be 'retrained' for a social life outside the bars.

And if we talk risk; dating is a risk. Always have been. What you can experience online can almost happen in real life too.

Uhh the Sex offenders from the title? Haven't you seen the numerous stories about them living in neighbourhoods with young kids

I was pointing out the fact that the article is vague, and using numbers to scare people. 10% of users being sex offenders or 1 in 10 doesn't really bother me too much. Sure, some of them may have committed a crime, that doesn't make them 'villains'. Also, you know what qualifies as a sex offender? Basically anything.

If a kid takes a picture of his girlfriend and they're both under 18, he could have to register as a sex offender. The information is too vague to make any kind of judgement calls on.

Why would you use a 2005 statistic for internet behavior? I don't even remember what the internet was like back then... was it myspace still?

This is WoW fansite, WoW which has always required the internet was available for purchase late 2004.

I am quite certain that with loose definition of what is considered sexual misconduct and the accessibility of the internet by all I imagine this number is probably higher today in 2017 than it was in 2005.

The golden rule still stands.

Don't be stupid online.
I've met alot of people using online.
You just have to be careful.
Not paranoid .. but cautious.

Holy hell! Only 10% of the sex offenders are using online dating services? I would have thought that at least 90% of them did that.

Without including retirement homes, how would you be able to live in an area where there are no kids present? I'm sincerely curious.

[DarkTZeratul]

Seeing as how 15% of all adults date online, this statistic seems neither surprising nor alarming.

[Pony Soldier]

Is this supposed to be news? I kinda figured there were always sex offenders lurking around on the internet. Nothing new here.

[downnola]

I don't. I'm not desperate.

I don't believe you.

[Sesshou]

That means 9/10 people who are sex offenders don't date online. We need to start invigilation of all people who don't date online.

Yeah, I'm confused. This means you're 10x as likely to meet a sex offender in offline dates?

[Sunseeker]

So...9/10 sex offenders dates the old fashioned way?

[Doctor Amadeus]

Sexual offender isn't an orientation it is title you get for certain behavior that has zero to do with orientation.

[Dreknar20]

Sexual offender isn't an orientation

sexual offender list = pedos

[Doctor Amadeus]

sexual offender list = pedos

No it doesn't lol, a sex offender is anybody who has been convicted of a crime related to sex specifically, you can get an indecency charge for fucking nude on a beach with your married partner and be declared a sex offender.
