I dated a girl for a while who I stayed friendly with after we split up. She posted an online dating profile (circa 2003?) with just enough information about herself to be Google-able. Some guy Google'd her, found her on her university website (she was doing a PhD), and emailed her telling her she should be a bit more careful, and, PS, did she want to go on a date?

She replied calling him a creep, and reported him to the dating site.




A couple of years ago I notified a female M&A lawyer that worked on the same deal as me, that her Outlook Connect picture was a very sexy lingerie photo that, even though she was very pretty herself, didn't really look like her. One thing led to another and she offered to show me the real thing.


To be fair, it's a bit of a creepy thing to do. Just because you _can_ do something, doesn't mean you _should_.
