After watching Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, it begs the question: WHY did people trust so easy back then? In today’s day and age, if you were to invite some stranger back to your apartment for some beers, let alone some pictures, red flags would immediately go off. So why were people so naive back back?

Those red flags would go off *for you*. Even today, it would be pretty easy to find young men (and even young women) from a similar socioeconomic status as those Dahmer preyed upon willing to go back to his apartment for a few beers.
You need to consider the horses-not-zebras reality here. If a creepy guy invites you back to his place ‘for a couple of beers’, the ‘horse’ is sex-for-money and there are a lot of people – especially poor young people – who are fine with that. The ‘zebra’ is being killed and eaten because that basically never happens. You’re probably more likely to get struck by lightning on your way back to the apartment.
