OP, it doesn't matter what you are looking for on this site or how many you may have met or their ages, the crux of the matter is that you were silly to let anyone into your home without knowing them thoroughly beforehand. It was also silly to leave any amount of money lying around.

Instead of blaming POF, maybe you should try looking a little closer to home for the reasons behind this "bad luck".

I am really sorry for what this guy did. Not all of us on POF are like this guy. I have read several other post on this thread and I would like to comment reguardless of what her age range was or the type of relationship she was looking for she didnt deserve what happened. There are plenty of 40 and 50 year olds (male and female ) on POF looking for 20 year olds I know I saw the profiles. So all you goody goody think you know it alls out there need to get a grip and sit back and think there is a reason your alone could it be you attitude (cough) I am only here to laugh at the know it alls.. lol

I know your not asking for adive, but I'm gonna give you some anyway. First of all if your going to advertise Intimate Encounters and bring home 18 years olds, get your self a bank account. Why would you have $500 laying around? I'm not trying to say your not a normal girl, but Intimate Encounters flushes out the crazies. We don't live in a perfect world and you need to learn how to protect yourself. Your living a dangerous life style.

Well Easy CUM Easy go,
you win some and you loose $500.00 or so......it's Like I said "Easy CUM Easy GO"...


Not that it would be any safer,but perhaps you should change your prefered age group to ( 25 to 40 ) this group may not be charging you $500.00 for services Rendered and you may enjoy them more...




It's just a suggestion...

With all due respect, the OP never said this money was just "laying around"...it could have been in her purse, for all we know. And, there could be dozens of reasons for her having that kind of money in her possession...the end of the month is coming soon so she could have withdrawn it for rent, she might have been taking her car into the shop the next day...who knows and who cares, nobody else should have laid a hand on that money besides the OP.

Bottom line, though, is this thread should serve as a good reminder that it's ALWAYS unwise to invite someone you barely know into your home, period. Hopefully the OP has learned from this incident, and others can too.

OP - sorry to hear about this harsh lesson of life. Wow - that's a whole lot of money. You don't mention if it was on top of your dresser, in your purse, or in a drawer. Before you have someone to your house or go to their place, make sure you know them. They have to earn your trust, and likewise, you have to earn their trust.

Now, about hanging out with an 18 year old? Are you really ready to be a Cougar? Surely, there are men closer to your age.

QUOTE FROM tgh46...>
Whom the Op chooses to date or sleep with really is none of our business. We are all here on pof for different reasons. The Op is here for intimate encounter, she can choose to do this with anyone from 18 to 100, as long as it's legal, Who the hell am i or anyone else to try judging her.

The op trusted someone to come into her home and he betrayed her trust by robbing her. So she comes into the forums seeking advice and we chastise her for being stupid. I guess if instead of stealing her money the guy had raped her, We are the kind that would also say that was her fault.

Just because the Op is looking for intimate encounter does not mean she is not normal, believe it or not people, there are quite norman woman/ men out here that just wants a not strings attached encounter. Just because someone chooses to go about life in a different way than us, does not make us "normal" and them some kind of weirdo.
________________________________________________

Yes, tgh46....... if a woman invites a total stranger from the internet to her HOME, anything that happens IS her fault because she asked / begged for it! Stupidity is no excuse.... especially a 30 year old woman inviting a schoolboy of 18! And who knows if he was EVEN 18! She could possibly go to jail for soliciting a MINOR for sex [intimate encounters] or for prostitution, for all we know!

It's ok for anyone to invite an 18 year old of either sex to their home...as long as they accept the possible consequences from such a decision.

You are an idiot my friend. But last i checked there is no law against it, so even morons like you are entitled to have an opinion, no matter how asinine.

This would particularly apply to you….


The Op never asked for advice, i think all she wanted to do was vent. I really don't see how the way the Op chooses to live her life is anyones business.

If it's no ones business...she shouldn't hang her dirty drawers out.........


If the Op was a 29 year old man who invited a 18 year old girl to his house and he got ripped off, would it be the same reaction as in this thread? hell no.

The response would be the same no matter what age or gender....it was just foolish.....

Obviously there are a lot of problems here that have already been pointed out. First meetings from dating sites which turn into robberies nothing new, however.

Saw a story on TV... man met a woman off the net for the first time... she lured him to her car at night in a dark parking lot... just when they started to steam up the windows in the car, two men appeared and robbed the guy... it was a setup, a planed robbery by a ring of people... the woman was one of the ring members. Men are not immune to internet scams and tend to be more gullible.

Don't meet at your home for the first time, or in a parking lot, or anywhere that is not public without other people around.

Tdh brought up some good points. I happen to agree with him. It isn't our place to chastise someone for being honest about what they want. She came on here for advice.

and curly


Be careful thats all

best advice on this thread, no matter what sort of relationship you are looking for

His age and her age doesn't matter. If he would have been 30 then it still wouldn't make it right. what I don't understand is why anyone would invite someone to their house to meet. And why anyone leave them unattended is beyond me. Even the defender of all people who get a negative reaction to what they have posted said it was stupid.
At any rate she should report it the authorities. If she has his phone number he can be tracked down. If she can't report for any reason at all, which could be the case, then she'll have to just accept it as a learning experience.

As I previously said, my co-horts here got it right on the head! As someone who has experienced many things, I think you really have to consider reeling it in. That isn't said to be hurtful or mean but you seriously have to take care of yourself first. As I said earlier, maybe you need to re-evaluate what you put out there on your profile...it really is waaaaay out there!

Also think about why you are involving yourself with people who may very well still be in high school. As I previously said, what could you possibly have in common with a high schooler? I have a child in high school and I am sorry, I am the evil parent and I prefer to keep that role. I have no interest in dating my daughter's freinds. I have had a few young men approach me here and it literally makes me want to reach for the nearest airline barf bag! Sorry, robbing the cradle is not my thing!

Ah, the old grade school tactic of calling the other person the worst names you can think of when you run out of any intelligent arguments to make. Nice try, but that immature tactic always reflects primarily on YOU, no one else.

I'm guessing that it had already been agreed that he was getting the $500. She's just upset that he took it before fullfilling his part of the agreement

If $500 a pop is the going rate I might have to rethink my no sex for money policy.

There's nothing wrong with her looking to sex it up with a younger guy, but inviting him to her home was a bad idea.

I'm sorry you were robbed OP. Unless you're married, then you're a bad lady.
