I was wondering:Would you date a person, if you've noticed that they had a habit of posting about negative dating experiences in this forum?
I've noticed too many posts by people, on this site and others, who post to tell everyone on this site about how their dates were bad.
-she showed up weighing 20 lbs heavier than she looked in her pics.
-he didn't even have a car
-he barely put any effort into pleasing me sexually
-she didn't agree to pay her share of the meal
-his profile said he was looking for one thing. It turned out he was looking for another.
-he didn't call the next day
-she decided to cancel our date-etc
Do you get the impression, that if you were to date one of these people, and the date wasn't 100% to their satisfaction, you'd be the next person who's being bashed, (accussed of being cheap, called ugly, called a liar, etc) in this forum?

The forums are here at least in part to let us vent. Better to let it out than hold it in. Also, I admire honesty, so I wouldn't hold telling the truth against someone. But by all means, if you're afraid of the publicity, don't date a reporter!

I'd like to think that most normal-thinking adults, who have a date, or potential relationship, that they realise just wasn't working out, are capable of moving on, while calmly maintaining their dignity.
The person who's publicly venting about their experience, or is making angry accusations of the other person for no significant reason, is perhaps a little too childish and insecure to be someone who's worth dating

I wouldn't do it myself and I wouldn't appreciate someone else doing it --- especially if they met them on this site. If they met them off-line it wouldn't be as bad but still not a good idea.

I never dated anyone who displayed their unsatisfactory experiences because it showed that they didn't have class to be discreet let alone being 'shallow Hals or Hallies'. Sorry if I touched a nerve but think about it. If they were to do this to someone else....they will do it to YOU! Good luck out there. R

hmmm there's two sides to this coin, all of you have only talked about the one side.
If someone post's a negative experience WITHOUT naming a person and shares that
this experience is a threat, harm, rip off....yep I would still go out with him
because I know I am not a woman who is threating or ripping men off and I think
it's ok for men just like women to warn of a person who is here as a predator in
disguise. There is a man here who ripped a woman's credit card off for thousands
just after two dates. Yes there are very mentally ill people here who could really
hurt you. So you think it's "rude" to warn of a date rape?
I would date a "whistle blower" because then I know he HAS the morals, and foresight.
As for the shallow Hal's and Sally's well they are easy to spot. I don't need
someone to warn me about them because I've already witnessed their personality
and decided not to date them before the warning. If the biggest complaint is
the way someone looks then I really don't care to hear anymore. I know the person
warning is the one who is immature.
Opps I forgot to add MARRIED in there. Because a married person lying and posing
as a single person is a DANGER!
You go out on a date have a S.O show up with a gun and you get shot how do you feel?
How do you feel when you find out 6 months down the line he/she is married?
Yes married people should be ratted on. If you have no respect for your marriage
I'm not stupid enough to think you'll respect me.

Well, that's actually much more serious than the types of experiences I was refering to.
Post of the experiences I was referring to in the opening post were relatively petty things.
I would date a "whistle blower" because then I know he HAS the morals, and foresight.
hmmmm....
When you read a "whistle blower" post in a forum such as this, where nobody else has fact-checked the story, how do you know who's telling the truth?
Is the whistle blower's story accurate?
or
Is the "whistle blower" actually a bitter ex, or a rejected suitor who's getting back at the other person by spreading bullshit stories on the internet?

there are money different points in this post...
I agree that people need a place to vent and as long as the person's name or site that they found them on is not mentioned than the petty horrible date stories are ok, you read them and comment on them or you don't comment, and sometimes we can learn from them so that they do not happen to us.
You can also learn to NOT date the poster if they are ranting because their date work white shoes instead of black (you get the picture)
When they rant about the person not looking like their picture at all, well those are kinda funny... who would post a picture that was not of themselves??? Don't they realize they will be seen on the date...silly people posting fake pictures.
To answer the question... I guess it depends on the experiences that they are posting.
