I don't trust people who are overly flirtatious online, especially those right at the get go. The motive and intent for all that kind of talk is hardly friendship.
I also don't trust significantly older men. From my experience, unlike younger men, older men have honed their reward/gratuity vs time expectations. They can wait for a longer time period to get what they want from you.
Under the guise of friendship, many of these men will keep up a repartee carefully blurring boundaries until its too late. Have you noticed how the victims slowly get caught in a trap that they start ignoring all warning signals?
I was watching the Larry Nassar trial videos on Youtube and you'll notice a pattern that this man had formed relationships/bonds with these young women only to betray them later.
Its not to point a finger only at older men - age is relative after all.
I just say this from personal experience as well, I was far more vulnerable as a young teen than I am right now. God was protecting me. He still is.

1. Yes. It doesn't surprise me at all that a guy looking like that would be the leader... of a cult. Makes perfect sense.
2. Show me a video in which good ol' Puddles pulls off that dance in the "Chandelier" video just like Maddie Ziegler, and I'll be sure to give him at least two stars (or was that, two honks of a beepy red nose...)

2 Hmm... i have no clue what you're talking about. Pop music is not my thing.
This song may be the closest he gets to dancing

So sorry, Ugly, but I just can't get into it.
Everytime Puddles lifts that microphone, I'm always afraid it's going to be a knife instead, and he's suddenly going to turn into a serial killer...
For anyone who wants a real auditory treat, catch Lynx in chat sometime. He has an amazing voice, and I always tell him that he should have been in radio doing commercials or working as a voice actor. He is also very gifted at speaking in accents, and of the 10 or so I've heard him attempt, my favorites are his renditions of Australian, Irish, Scottish (yes, he does both!), pirates pillaging the high seas, Austin Powers, and, my current favorite, Scrooge McDuck from DuckTales.

Hey Everyone,
Just as a bit of humor, dedicated to anyone who is having a tough day...
For some reason, today I was thinking about some of the things in this world that I just don't trust.
For instance...
* Clowns. What could be more frightening than a grown man dressed in blindingly clashing colors, frilly pom pom and ruffles, and goes around honking a beepy red nose? That's not funny, that's just frightening (especially if he has jagged teeth and are named "Pennywise...")
I don't trust clowns.
* Spam. Just one step above clowns, except that they try to pass it off as something "edible." *shudder* I'm pretty sure the ingredients in two cans of Spam are never quite the same, because they make it out of any leftovers that happen to be available that day. (Ever wonder what really happened to poor little Billy's pet goldfish? The makers of Spam had a quota to meet.)
I don't trust Spam, or anything that claims to be "meat".... and comes in a can. (Why does that sound like line from Dr. Seuss...)
* Vending machines. For some reason, I've always been a bit apprehensive about vending machines. I'm always certain that the product is going to get stuck and rip me off (and I'm not quite strong enough to shake the entire machine into giving me what I want), or that when I actually reach into the supposed magic dispensing tray of the machine to claim my prize, it's going to chop my hand off, just like in some kind of horror movie.
I don't trust vending machines.
* And finally... I can't help but think of a bit of advice a lovely older woman at church once doled out with a wink: "Honey, never trust a man who says, 'Just trust me,' even if you've been married to him for 15 years. That's how we got our youngest child."
Lol.
Well. I'm not going to say I wouldn't trust my husband at the time (if I ever find him), but... you know.
Serious or silly...

Notice how the words Shoulder, Pork and hAM make up the word SPAM "Spam was introduced by Hormel in 1937. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America states that the product was intended to increase the sale of pork shoulder which was not a very popular cut."
"According to its label, Spam's basic ingredients are pork, with ham meat added, salt, water, modifiedpotato starch as a binder, sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative. "

Spam is just unused pork shoulder and ham. Nothing to be afraid of. Notice how the words Shoulder, Pork and hAM make up the word SPAM

Sorry... I should have made a disclaimer in my original post...
What are the reasons why you don't trust these things or people?
Was it that you had a bad experience yourself, or heard something negative about them?
For anyone else who posts... please tell us WHY you don't trust... what you don't trust.
