Portland man going to meet Bumble date catfished, robbed at gunpoint

[@maestrovso]

Oregon man. I have to admire his courage for being interviewed on camera.

[@CooperNicolaysen]

I honestly thought it was going to be a phone interview, but they wanted to meet up w me at the park (not the same one)

[@NeverHaveKids]

Dating apps: not to be trusted. Also, dude, it should have been obvious to you this was a setup. You see four bangers in the park, you turn around and immediately LEAVE.

[@AaaaNinja]

Much easier to say when you have the benefit of hindsight.

[@malcriadamedina5358]

When you look like him you're not getting matches on bumble lol

[@tsaunders4684]

Dating apps are fine, this guy was just desperate for a date and should have talked on the phone a few days before agreeing to meet up. Or he should have offered to meet at Starbucks or Tropical Smoothie. Most women will not meet a stranger in a park for a first date. He was a green pea for falling for this. Smh

[@christoforos689]

No description of the crooks. Great reporting, not.

[@maxmotors9497]

Oregon- where criminals are a protected class.

[@ninak2346]

Why are people like this? It’s so disheartening. I hope he can continue to put himself out there and his friends can follow through with helping him stay safe in the future. In certain areas, I do think it’s fairly common for a woman to be used as bait to lure a man for a robbery. Stay safe out there, folks!

[@jaymoses7460]

"Putting himself out there" should actually mean meeting people in REAL LIFE; not the cowardly, socially inept way a.ka. social media and dating apps!!

[@ErikPortland]

Eyeroll. Pros and cons to each. You're meeting up either way.

[@emilyholton2221]

Poor Guy.

[@flutebasket4294]

What did they look like? Why won't you tell us what they look like?

[@Azazel2024]

Blm American

[@beexiong6777]

"He looks like a man.". ( Ms. Swan Voice).😊😊😊

[@user-xm3ou4uu6q]

They were probably 🕺🏿

[@a.w.cormier4355]

Who goes to the park on a date? Come on man!

[@novajtv]

Your mom ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@kamivenus753]

Dudes who don't want to spend money and always talking about taking a walk lol . He played himself lol

[@marcusinfinity9386]

Wow I'm shocked SHOCKED, well not that shocked

[@portlandgirlx0x096]

So, a robbery happened & no description of suspects? We should all feel safe now. 🥀

[@novajtv]

Exactly why prostitution should be legal and taxed... Sometimes we just want to skip the games

[@lastmanstanding5338]

@@novajtvwell, I don’t know about taxed.

[@jaymoses7460]

Prostitution will NEVER BE LEGAL IN AMERICA, so get over it!!! Just know how and how not to do your DIRT!!! It's really, really easy to avoid getting caught in a 3ex sting!!!

[@dallastrujillo7286]

Poor guy 😔

[@DianaMartinez-st3iv]

He’s not that bad looking… he just needs a haircut… hope he finds the right one soon ❤

[@CooperNicolaysen]

I just got a haircut :(

[@bebeandjohnnotsonomadiclif5287]

No description of the crooks. Great reporting!!!

[@higgdynamics]

With this and the cost and AI, it's back to meeting people in bars for me

[@marrythemoney]

They all are sketchy!!

[@kamivenus753]

He catfished them with that hair lol , meeting people in a park is shady yall always telling women you don't want to to spend money and should just go for a walk and look what happens, its also why women dont want to go for a walk!

[@jaymoses7460]

These clowns always want the woman to put it out, while they demonstrate how cheap, boring, and uninteresting they are! lol

[@JamesKonzek-xr5zy]

Poor guy. It was probably his first date ever.

[@ethandang212]

Where is the picture

[@marrythemoney]

That sounds bad

[@joifire]

Easily done and ridiculous! Video time, FaceTime, date written pic etc !

[@jaymoses7460]

Everything but being a MAN and approaching a WOMAN you find attractive in PERSON!!! Men (women too) are so weak and pathetic these days!!! Oh well, keep enjoying the catfish and lonely life! lol...

[@Missletow67]

Meet in a creepy park for the 1st time...sign me up!!! 🗡 🤣

[@frafraplanner9277]

Online dating is always a bad idea

[@cocoakusubuu7100]

dating in Portland is a bad idea

[@Junkyard_Dog]

Stay vigilant when its dark outside day or night.

[@Azazel2024]

Usual suspects

[@ppinmouth2649]

Yup European immigrants

[@UtoniumJock]

Not only was a he fool for showing up but for also sharing his story. 😅

[@lastmanstanding5338]

At least violent crime is down in Portland. Right Fox12?

[@curtg7396]

It’s almost as if KPTV doesn’t want a suspect caught.

[@lxlx3458]

Next time call the police first to have them there just in case...

[@macazootie]

how about suggesting to voice verify? he said he texted 'her' from the park instead of calling, why? also, a real woman would be sketch about meeting a man here, rather than a well-lit busy place, so why would you even agree to be that man? it's all so suss

[@eyepodwalkman6247]

No description of the robbers whatsoever or of the stolen car, but the report goes out of its way to incriminate Bumble by name 3 or 4 times. Take the advice given by the reporter: if something feels off, it probably is".

[@bplovelove3119]

He seems desperate.

[@big-daddy-o8576]

Play nice.

[@Mmmmkaaay]

Most men are. Dude just needs to go to the barber and get some better clothes and he'd have better chance at getting laid.

[@flutebasket4294]

Not everybody can be as cool as you, dawg

[@JurgenMiHoff]

He is desperate lol You are absolutely correct my dude

[@sunnydelight5255]

To meet in a park yes lol 😄 Feel sorry for him, seems like a nice guy, but very naive lol.

[@The_Black_Knight]

ABC--->Always be carrying. Learn the importance of self awareness.

[@xsteelfeverx8004]

Hah! I'm glad I got married before dating apps ever existed.

[@benjaminrichard7741]

Go to a park that offers Security Services.

[@maryburland2829]

Wow???

[@PamelaTaylor]

WELL CANT PLAY PLAY AND NOT TO EXPECT TO PAY PAY

[@jamesklaatu9359]

Portland progressive decay...........

[@tsaunders4684]

Your suppose to talk over the phone and engage some before just meeting up with a stranger. He was such a green pea. Smh

[@Lib_exorcist]

Beta. 😂.

[@kristamonae]

Not the sharpest tool in the shed 😂

[@roncarroll4136]

Yeah don't be meeting people in a park on A Rainy Day I'm really surprised this doesn't happen more often

[@CooperNicolaysen]

it was a sunny day but I feel like you think you know everything

[@mag8131]

😂

[@malcriadamedina5358]

I mean....I get it now

[@jaymoses7460]

Another nice idea: LEARN HOW TO APPROACH PEOPLE YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO IN PERSON!!! You know, like how it was done pre-internet.
