Don't Date Him, Girl!

http://www.dontdatehimgirl.com/

There was a feature story on this web site today in the Star-Ledger and I'll bet a lot of women are saying, "Damn! Why didn't I think of that first?"

In theory, it's a great idea. The creator of the site, a young publicist from Miami, checked everything out with her legal eagles and apparently, it's OK to publish names and photos of these jackasses, as long as you don't print REALLY personal information like Social Security numbers, phone numbers, drivers' licenses numbers and such.

That being said, this site needs a lot of work! For one, many of the links on the site and its related blog DO NOT WORK. How frustrating is that? I'm not talking one or two links, I'm talking almost every other one I tried. Not a good thing.

Secondly, the navigational features don't work all that well. For example, if you're trying to locate just guys in NJ of a certain age group, you get not only guys from the Garden State but guys from Florida, Minnesota, even Sweden! [Yes, it seems that the USA does not corner the market on assholes]. Needs some work.

To be fair, the site's creator allows "outed" guys to rebut. She also says that there are plans in the work for a similar site for guys, Don't Date Her, Dude, or something like that.

And, in case you're wondering, no, I did not find any of my former boyfriends on there...yet.
