Ewwwwwww!! Don't Date Him!!

[regic]

Unearthing a potential mate's cheating, thieving, maybe even psychotic ways during the early stages of courtship always has been tricky business. But it is particularly difficult today, when millions are searching for dates online and finding it far easier to lie to a computer than to someone's face.

Rotten men

But the Internet is now offering up an antidote. Web sites like DontDateHimGirl.com and ManHaters.com are dedicated to outing bad apples or just identifying people who may not be rotten but whose dating profiles are rife with fiction.

Framed in pink, DontDateHimGirl.com allows a woman to post the name and photograph of a man she says has wronged her, along with a short but often pungent synopsis of how precisely she was aggrieved...

Meanwhile on the dating site front... :twistedevil:

Amid sluggish growth for dating Web sites, a different kind of matchmaking service is thriving online: so-called adult dating sites that dispense with courtship and urge members to head straight for the bedroom...

Adult dating sites work in much the same way as more traditional sites. Users create profiles by filling out questionnaires -- while many dating sites ask users about things like their views on religion and favorite books, adult sites focus more on appearance and measurements. Users are encouraged to post sexually explicit photos. The sites match members of similar locations and interests...

Update:

Art imitates life, and life imitates art. Fans of ABC's Boston Legal may recall a recent episode where a man sued a company over a dating website that was purportedly ruining his reputation. Now a similar complaint has been filed in the "real world." This time James Spader is nowhere to be found, however.

Todd J. Hollis, a Pennsylvania lawyer and "victim" of what he sees as malicious gossip, has sued both several users and the proprietor of dontdatehimgirl.com...

Update on the lawsuit:

A Florida-based Web site that invites women to warn others about men they've dated cannot be sued in a Pennsylvania court by an attorney who said its postings falsely claimed he was unfaithful and had sexually transmitted diseases. Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge R. Stanton Wettick Jr. said he had no jurisdiction over the lawsuit Todd Hollis filed last June against DontDateHimGirl.com and its creator...

The date-dissing site has tripled in size since the lawsuit was filed, with 27,000 profiles marketed as "a new cost-effective weapon in the war on cheating men," stated the site's creator Tasha C. Cunningham...
