Should there be a legal age for internet dating?

So by internet dating we mean meeting over the net and then going out in real life, not just strictly online, right?

I'm assuming the former so no there shouldn't be an age limit for internet dating. The same laws apply to internet dating sites and meeting in other parts of the internet. Women will lie about their age in order to be with an older guy and older guys will want younger women. This happened many, many years before the internet and it still happens today. Maybe it happens more often, but I don't know.

I wouldn't want to restrict this tool because it is exactly that. Taking the proper percausions before meeting with someone and not giving out personal information is the best way to protect yourself. And if something goes wrong it's not all over. The police can help out and you can carry a self-defense weapon as well as taking self-defense classes in case you are ever in danger.

What is needed is education, not censorship.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
