We are briefly going to cover the ground featured in the first article of this series. Remember, the topic is grooms and the ways some attempt to use the web for purposes of locating women. If you want to avoid such people, go through every word with a "fine tooth comb" and follow the included advice when looking for love online.

In a previous article, the authors discussed ways to determine whether or not a man is married. The lack of photos and the gender of the person initiating contact are often two ways to determine this. However, sometimes men may choose not to upload a photo of themselves for legitimate reasons. In addition, they often initiate contact when they view a desirable profile. Therefore, further criteria are required to successfully detect whether a man is married.

When you are on one of the sites on the web for meeting people, consider "the rules" that are left to common knowledge. As with handguns, a "waiting period" is typically placed on replies to a first message. Additionally, even after initial contact, some will claim it is unwise to immediately reply, lest you end up with "instant message" style fatigue. However, the rules are almost inverted with grooms. Be suspicious if mail comes in clusters, and only during daylight hours. When guys have a ring on their finger, they feel safer thinking about cheating when locked in an office on a machine that their spouse cannot access.

Males who aren't single often prefer to engage in emailing in the middle of the night or just after working hours so as to have the most privacy possible. If the messages you get from him come late at night, or if there's a long time between answers, or if he only emails from the office, chances are your correspondent isn't really single. Another thing to be aware of is that men who are already in relationships tend to get back to you much more quickly if they are really interested in you than men who are dating singles.
