Don't Date Him, Girl

Posted by Faith Eggers on Sun, 03/02/2008 - 12:00pm
If you've started dating again post-divorce or remember what it was like to date before you were married, chances are that at some point you've uttered the words, "dating sucks."

Chances are even greater that you have at least one tragic dating story. I think on average we each have about a dozen. A friend of mine joked the other day that it would be nice if all men had a computer chip inserted in their wrists that stored all of their relevant dating information, like how many kids he has, whether he pays his child support, whether he's ever been married, whether he's still married, whether he's a cheater, liar, alcoholic ... you get the idea. We would all be armed with scanners and when a man approached for a date — or vice versa — we could give them a quick scan, read their stats, and make an informed decision. Ahh, if only it were that easy, huh?

Well, it just might be. Enter Don't Date Him Girl, a social network consisting mostly of women, where you can find advice on all things regarding sex, love, relationships, dating, marriage, etc. But that's not all. Perhaps the best part of this site is their "search" feature. It's kind of like Google, but better. You can search for men by name, location or keyword and see if another woman has had an experience with him and posted a reason, or in some cases numerous reasons, why you shouldn't date him. The profiles range from sad, like this one to hysterically sad, like this one and there are even a few celebrities in the mix. Click here for Jude Law.

While I'm sure there might be more than a few undeserving men on this site, in general I think it's a fabulous way to share information. Think you know someone who deserves to be on Don't Date Him Girl? Sign up and get started here.
