Florida rated second most dangerous state for online dating

Posted on November 20, 2017

According to Backgrounds.org, Florida only trails Missouri as the most dangerous state for online dating.

Vermont and Maine are considered the safest. The website said,”We can’t vouch for the nightlife options in these heavily forested, sparsely attended states, but with low rates of STD, violent crime, and identity theft, online dating in the area is a much safer bet than elsewhere.”

Idaho, Utah and Wyoming round out the top five safest states.

“At the bottom of the list is Missouri, owing to a whoppingly high risk of identity theft,” said Backgroundchecks.org. “Two southern states, Florida and Louisiana are at #49, and #48, respectively. Both states have thriving urban centers notorious for partying and hedonism. Anyone using Tinder in New Orleans, or Miami, beware.”
