1 out of every 4 “Single & Available” men on internet dating websites is actually married. A woman is raped every two minutes in America. 57% of all rapes happen on dates. Is this true and what would this mean if it were true?

In the words of Mickey Gilley, it seems that many today are "Lookin' for love in all the wrong places". We need good values. Sensible standards. We should never lower those standards in who we consider in dating, or in the methods that we use to meet someone.

It's a sick world out there.

I don't know if it's true, but if it is, it means that women should not go out on dates, especially with a liar they met on the internet.
-
That a lot of men still regard women as second-class citizens and do not afford them the respect they deserve. Respect is a two-way street. That's all women want. Is that asking too much?
-
If that's true, that's a sad state of affairs (no pun intended). I might be missing something, but I don't see any correlation between the first statistic given and the rest of the question.

If this were true, it would mean that women have to be careful. However, I think that as a society we are quick to scrutinize men and this sort of scrutiny might not be the best way to change the statistics. The only way to really change things is to educate both men and women on these issues so that we are all careful and aware of our actions.

Depends on who you ask. If these stats are true, it would mean: -There is a 25% chance that a "single and available" man is not -That a woman is raped every two minutes -That perhaps we should redefine "date"
-
Most rapes happen at night, when the husband rapes his wife.

The point isnt to whether it is true or not. The point is that ladies need to use COMMON SENSE. Dont give out personal information on the internet. If youre on a dating site and want to meet, meet in a PUBLIC PLACE.. and DO NOT go home with him! And dont be an internet slut, giving out your home phone number for every person to see when they want to, or telling people your adress. DO NOT meet them in private. EVER. USE YOUR BRAIN. Gee it seems like common sense isnt so common anymore. ~+~

Since you can't know whether someone is lying until after it is too late, women should take a few precautions (maybe men should too--there's some crazy women out there, too): 1. Get to know somebody for a good long time before you meet for real. Start with email, work up to IM, and then phone calls. 2. The first time you meet someone, arrange with a friend that you can check in with every hour or so. Make sure your date knows that you're doing this. Tell your friend that if you miss your scheduled call-in time to call the police.

It would mean that you should take reasonable precautions and be careful.
