After
Mantai Te’o’s fake dead girlfriend turned out to be a man, (hat-tip to Outkickthecoverage.com, best blog on the internet) and
after the show Catfishing caught on on MTV, men fear, rightly, that their online encounter
with a gorgeous woman online will not go as planned, and will, perhaps be with
a man. Men also fear getting shot on internet dates.

Unfortunately
for an Indianapolis man, he got both at the same time. Said Indianapolis man, not named in the article
out of mercy, met up with the person he thought was going to be a woman named “Desire.” This immediately begs the question of whether
this was a “date” in the classical sense – roses, cocktails, maybe dinner, if
all goes well either going back to her place for some sweet, sweet lovin and either
later marriage (if it was Christian Mingle, J-Date or e-harmony) or just hoping
for no herpes (if it was Match or H-date).
No, if she was named “Desire” this seems like a Backpage.com date. Though, according to the article on Indystar, the
date originated on a chat room “possibly called Chocolate City.” Sounds like he was making up something so he
didn’t tell police he was meeting up with a hooker from Backpage.
So
he goes to meet “Desire” at 1 a.m. (sound more and more like Backpage) and gets
a dude with a gun in his face. The
mercifully unnamed man told police he sped off to the hospital and reported to
police the source of his forearm wound.
He
confirmed every man’s top two fears about online dating, particularly the
Backpage kind (likely the third highest on Backpage is that it is a cop who
meets you, but that’s a different blog post).
