Based on what you've written so far, you have made yourself known as someone not to be trusted and not to meet. Just to give you an idea of how you come across, you are giving off a con artist vibe, especially with your eagerness to isolate individuals from the rest. You may call that "networking 101" but it's actually more comparable to predatory behavior.
In your earlier post you simply said "I will get in my vehicle and drive to ANY Canadian within 1,000 KM who is a member of this board. Thats right, I am willing to spend hundreds of dollars to meet you." There is nothing in there about "establishing discernment" first. You're moving the goalposts.
What may seem normal to you - meeting strangers from the internet - is pretty abnormal for the majority of people.
Anyone who basically says "you can trust me I swear, I have no criminal record" sounds like they are selling a little too hard. Best take your wares elsewhere.
