To be fair, as a man, I've also done this when I was about to meet a girl. In case I get jumped or something. You never know with internet strangers.
I've met many internet strangers before, and I've never had an experience like that bbefore. That said, I also generally meet strangers in public places, so nothing happens.
Movie gangsters have it right, first date in a well lit diner with huge windows, and your hand in a paper bag on the table.
Or under the table...
"Is that a sawed off shotgun or are you just happy to see me? ;)"
Good rule of thumb for any meeting where you might end up in a non-public space.
If you're just doing a buy/sell thing, you can count on doing the entire exchange in a public space. If you're meeting someone for a date, you might end up in a more secluded setting. It doesn't happen as much around where I live, but I've read stories of it happening in other parts of the world
