Before you read further, I want to warn any and all men about a Facebook group called “AWDTSG”. This group is dedicated to “exposing” men to thousands of females, and deeming them as “red flags”. Every large city has their own group.

As a female, I’ve been having a hard time agreeing with the group and I want to share my concerns with you all, as some of you may not even know that you’re posted in these groups.

1) Men are having their personal info shared, such as last name and place of employment. I do not agree with this whatsoever. It’s one thing to have a bad experience with someone, but it’s another thing to blast their personal info.

2) The word “narcissist” is being thrown around far too much. Every time a woman has a bad experience, the man is automatically a “narc”. The word itself doesn’t even have meaning at this point because it’s used so often and not correctly.

3) Making comments on someone’s looks is not something I ever agree with. Yet, I see it happening in these groups all the time. It seems very childish and makes me feel bad for the men that are being made fun of and they don’t even know about it.

4) One little thing goes wrong on a date and you are instantly blasted on these groups. Doesn’t matter what it is; if you talked to much, if you don’t have the best relationship with someone, whatever it is, it will be viewed as a “red flag” and you will be posted as a warning to other women.

I think this group could be helpful if there were actually abusive, bad or cheating men being posted. However, it has turned into posting about every single little flaw one can find in a guy, being shared to thousands of women. The ironic thing is, when an abusive man actually does get posted, the post gets much less traction and some women even come to the man’s defense. Yet, when it’s something less significant, like the guy talked about himself too much, all of a sudden, there’s hundreds of comments bashing the guy.

It’s become a toxic group, overall.
