Hey guys. Public Service Announcement here.

45M, recently divorced, and thought it was time to check out these newfangled dating apps everyone is talking about. Got Tinder, got Hinge. Started matching and setting up dates. Figured that's what people do, right? Go on a bunch of dates, and if chemistry pops with someone, see them more or exclusively.

Well, word of warning. Almost every city has a Facebook group called "Are we dating the same guy" or something like that. All these ladies are talking to each other, and rating you and telling others about their dates with you. If you are going on multiple dates with different people, they will find out about it, and they don't like it.

So, unless you hold yourself to only going on dates with one person at a time, be prepared for women to talk about you behind your back. I'm labeled as a "serial dater" now in that group, and my matches have dropped off a cliff.

I had no idea before embarking on this experiment, so I wanted to spread the word to the rest of you.
