Guy steals woman’s car during an OkCupid date!
Imagine a guy that you ‘met’ on Tinder steals your car after your first date together? Well, that actually happened. Except, it wasn’t Tinder, it was OkCupid (an American dating site).
Washington Post reported that a woman fell for a man called Gerald Tietz online, after he described himself as a ‘sensitive man who is sick of all the lies from females and whose wife died of breast cancer’. She contacted him on OkCupid and after the first date, she found herself without her red 2007 Toyota Solara.
The police did find him and arrest him.
Ladies, if you don’t want your car (or your heart) stolen by a ‘catfishing’ Tinder date, look out for these signs. This is how the guy described himself online:
Heartwrenching backstory: “I was married for 22 yrs. until my wife’s unfortunate death due to breast cancer. I have no children as my wife was unable to have any due to the cancer gene in her family history.”
No money problems: “Made some sound business moves and worked hard. Purchased beachfront property in Clearwater Beach 30 yrs ago and enjoying that now.”
Sensitive: “I just want to meet someone who wants a guy who learns everything about the woman he is with. Likes, dislikes, favorite color, food, books, movies etc. Men don’t take the time to learn these important things in a relationship, they are concerned with their performance in the bedroom. Performance is important but knowing what the heart and mind think are just as important.”
Sick of the all the lies: “The dating scene is brutal. Drug addicts, drunks, gold diggers, bulls—t and fairy tales. … Looking to meet someone with a hard work ethic and most importantly being honest.”
