This is a very interesting initiative, going beyond the usual MySpace's teen heaven privacy issues, but directly exposing the mature audience in a way I find as a totally biased one. Girls writing stories on men that supposedly chated on them. DontDateHimGirl.com aims to :

Basically stuff like, "post a cheating man", "search for a cheating man", or browse through the 3593 ones already "categorized" as cheaters with personal stories and photos whenever available. What I feel they shouldn't do, is aggregate that kind of community powered personal details for third-parties, and making it searchable. Some stories are pretty fun and average enough to make you think :
"Quite a charmer in the beginning, as all guys tend to be. Called me beautiful, gorgeous.. kissed my forehead.. He did all the right things. He could do no wrong. We "dated" for a good 6 months, and things seemed to be going good. He was the love of my life. Lots of firsts with him, then he did a total 180. He stopped calling and didn't respond to my phone calls and/or messages. I was so distraught. I thought I did something to fuck things up. "
Perhaps she did, didn't she?! Still, that's entirely between them given they actually respect each other.
Don't get me wrong, there are pathological polygamists, but what's next, Local Google Maps to pin point the cheating areas around town?
To balance the powers, and make it even worse there's even a DontDateHerMan.com coming along, but try not to bring your personal life stuff to such an end, or is it just me? :)
