This online dating has become more for entertainment than meeting people. Last night I was talking to a guy online (who was really cute in his pics). One of the first things he starts talking about was how his ex wife kidnapped his kids and took them to Africa! He was serious too, saying it really happened. Now who wants to meet a guy with that kind of background. Isn't there any normal guys out there anymore, LOL!

What makes someone normal? Is it his fault his ex did that, thereby making him abnormal? I think I would have waited to spill information like that to anyone but I feel bad for the guy if that's a true story.

He may be a "normal" guy, but unfortunately had a crazy EX!

Personally, I would run (not walk) away from someone with that kind of baggage regardless of whose fault it is.

Yeah, I was just thinking he probably isn't a nice guy if his ex had to run to Africa with the kids to get away from him!

There are a few circumstances that I can think of that has nothing to do with him being a nice guy or not. Maybe she's from Africa? Maybe he was kidding? It was online that you were talking - you can't tell from the typed word how a person is saying something. Maybe she is psycho and it's a good thing they're not together?

I just don't think you can make any assumptions about him because you don't know the whole story.
