What is it with net dudes?!?

Okay... maybe I'm just naive, (thank heaven's!!) but seriously....

What is it with net dudes thinking they can message/pm random girls and:
a) refer to them as "babe"/"baby"/"cutey"/etc... right off the bat w/o even introducing themselves!!!!
b) either....
1) demand the girl's e-mail addy....
2) demand the girl add them to her IM program.....
c) suddenly decide they want to get to know her "better" and ask for personal info....

Are they crazy?!?!? O.O Do I look like a first class idiot?!?!?
Like I'm going to:
a) give them my cell number...
b) give them my home addy...
c) meet up with them?!?!?!?!?!

Are most girls on the Interwebs really that easy/gullible/stupid?!?!
My goodness. It's no wonder parents don't want their pre-teen and teen age daughters online!!! If sooooo many guys think girls are this dumb... then there must be a reason.... *this thought makes me sick* Now, I can see a young insecure girl, falling for the flattery.... especially if they don't get it all the time in the "real world"... but whoa.. use some common scene girls...

I know there are tons of REALLY decent guys out there... *enter all of my guy friends*.... but seriously..... the idea, that there are people like that out there..... makes me realize exactly why I don't date. I wouldn't consider someone who wasn't a strong Christian in the first place, but I mean, I would literally have to turn really really stupid to fall for any of these guys on the net.... >.< style="font-weight: bold;">AWARE moderately mature 21 year old uni student.... I have been able to weed out and BLOCK the weirdos..... and I have managed to meet some interesting guys a girls from all over the world. Very nice people..... but all the trash you have to wade through, dodge, aggressively fight off..... it's just not worth it after a while..... >.< style="font-weight: bold;">especially anyone who is under 19 or 18.... If you're going to use the Net, make sure your parents, or someone tech savvy looks into whatever site you want to use.... then... if you really really want a social networking site to talk to your friends with, and you're parents think you're mature enough to handle it.... then..... the FIRST think you do is ask someone/ or figure out how to get into the privacy part of the site.... set it to the HIGHEST protection level you can. ONLY your friends should be able to see ANY info on your page. And friends should consist of people that you know personally, and OUTSIDE of the internet. I cannot stress this enough....

I love technology, the internet and connecting with my friends that I made at my University who have since gone back to their own countries.... It is a part of my every day life..... But, I have to be extremely cautious about a lot of things... I now know a couple of the warning signs.... but sometimes, by the time you've seen the warning signs.... it's already too late... the best thing to do, is just completely avoid all outside forces, until you go to a college/uni where you can actually meet people face to face. This doesn't mean that you won't run into bad people.... but it sure is a lot easier to judge people when they're standing in front of you, and not hiding behind a computer....

To the girls... and guys: Be Careful and Aware!!
To any guy who's ever called a female stranger--- babe, baby, chick, cutey, etc.... Get a Life, Get some Manners, and don't talk to me again until you've dropped the bravado and become a regular human being.
