Life on Florida’s West Coast

He Killed and Cooked His Girlfriend

Dating again scares the socks off of me. It was hard enough in the past, but now that I have been out of the dating world for so long and I am a single mom, things seem like they have gotten a whole lot worse out there in the wilds of the world of single people.

Take, for example, the news story that is out right now about Christopher Lee McCuin, a guy in Texas who kidnapped, killed, and then cooked his girlfriend. Yikes. Is this the kind of man who is out there as a dating prospect?

I have also been reading about how sexual predators have more and more often been targeting single moms on dating sites. They are actually grooming women in hopes of getting their sick paws on the children. It’s enough to make me want to remain celibate for the rest of my life.

When I look out there and see the kinds of things my older single friends are enduring, it makes me sick. I have friends who have recently dealt with abusive men, cheating men, men who lie about their jobs and being married. Heck, there is even this guy I see in the library all of the time who comes in after he gets off work, wedding ring glinting in the light as he sits at a computer and has cyber sex with women on MySpace before setting up multiple dates with multiple women he plans on meeting in hotel rooms. I only know this because I have had the displeasure of being seated next to him three times now and I can’t help but look. It’s like a freaky car accident.

That’s why the site WomanSavers.com is such a Godsend. It’s a Date Screening Website and online database where women can rate actual men. If men have been abusive, have cheated, have been general jerks, you can warm your fellow womankind. The site also has a lot of free resources for abused women like medical advice from doctors, free psychotherapy advice, and the support of thousands of other women worldwide.
