Are we compromising our safety?

  I don't think so, no more risk than leaving a party or bar with someone you've only known for a few hours, you just hear more about these things in the media today in my opinion.

  Anyone that meets people in a hotel room as their first meeting ... is naive, and it has unfortunately very tragic outcomes sometimes..... And he’s a piece of shit for going to meet anyone armed with a hammer. It proves in my mind at least premeditation.

  I would send a pic, address, phone number/rego to a friend.....and tell my date that I'd done it and that I would be letting my friend know when I'd safely left. If he wasn't prepared to provide that information then no meet

  As women we’re still far more likely to get killed by our partner statistically speaking. Sure people shouldn’t take silly risks but you’re more likely to get killed making an informed decision to stay with the wrong person than you are meeting a stranger for some nookie.

  Yes, I do believe we are but I also ok like to think that 99.9% of people are good people and you'd have to be seriously unlucky to come accross a truly terrible person.

  We have had a few males press the point of wanting to be invited over for a hookup despite being told that wouldn't happen until we meet in public first, eventually just stopped talking and moved on as they didn't seem to get it.

  Yes , its always a risk which l believe rarely happens.. Problem is ' you dont know who ? Everyone needs to be on thier guard and would have rocks in thier heads not to want to meet beforehand , maybe a few times.. lm male and l still insist to meet over a few drinks / coffee . Yes ' im judging and being judged if we feel the need to go further. Better than meeting in a unsafe place with nowhere to go ?

  I talk here a while to establish an electronic traceable footprint. Meet in public and let a friend know where I’m going at what time and the username. I also let the date know that I’ve told a friend, that way they are also aware I’ve given this information to a third party. If they are uncomfortable with that, they can remove themselves from the meeting arrangement. My safety matters.

  I usually meet for the 1st time in a group with my friends. Sometimes I feel like this might not always seem fair to my “date”, but most people have been okay with it 😘

  Nah you're more likely to be killed by a drugged out driver and I'm sure you drive on the road every day.

  People are just at risk after meeting a person. It doesn't really make that much of a difference. For example, date rape can occur after a woman goes out a few times with a person. This hotel room hammer attack is a rare example, but in saying that, it always pays to be wary.

  I am amazed how many men abuse or block me when I insist on a public meet first. They take it personally.

  he may have been on drugs. you don't know. i once met a female in a CBD hotel, did all the usual checks etc before meeting. she was very very attractive. then she went to the bathroom and i went in to do the toilet thing i caught her popping a pill with water - and thought nothing more of it. later a few hours, she went bizzare. her eye ball sockets turned grey she started yelling. i got worried. i asked her to leave. called a taxi t make sure she got home safe. got the concierge to escort her to the taxi as well. its was frightening. next day later evening, she asked me what had happended . i told her via sms. she disappeared from the dating site and i never heard fro her again. i think these days with illicit drugs around - you need to be very very careful. i always meet ladies in the lobby for a drink, if they are not confortable going straight to the room. as i use VIP suites, ie eg lounge for a drink and views etc, i dont rush the sex. i wait till shes comfy sometimes they are into it very quickly (LOL) - but yes, if the belly tells you it does not feel right - dont do it.
