Let me see if I understand this correctly... THE WHO USED TO DATE YOU would be writing evaluations? It seems to me if they had a favorable evaluation, they'd still be with you--and not writing stuff about you at this site.

Err... THOSE who used to date you...

Excellent point, Jason. The first thing I thought when I read this was it could be or could become not much more than a high-tech version of writing things about people on bathroom walls. For what it's worth, here's a blurb from the TrueDater FAQ:

We encourage users to be fair, accurate, and objective in writing reviews-- for example, reporting that someone is 4 inches shorter than they claim or that they have gained 20 pounds since the picture they posted. We discourage you from entering reviews of the person themselves or their personality or telling stories about your date since these kinds of subjective judgments can be hurtful and may not be helpful to other people who are thinking about meeting this person.

As much as I pride myself on being "in the know" with technology -- I still have my personal feelings towards online dating. Need no offense be taken, but sometimes I wonder if that takes the fun out of meeting people in person. ...But then again, who am I to judge?

...But I'm afraid I must agree with Jason. I would hate for my exes (on the internet especially when employers and everyone else has access to it) to be writing reviews on my private life.

An online way for someone with an axe to grind to vent their spleen with regards to someone they have dated?

I do not think there is a single person without a skeleton or two in the ex department. Considering one of mine was a journalism major she could vent with some style. Hopefully, she will get some detail wrong and I can dispute her credibility.

I used to be a fairly high volume dater, sometimes to the embitterment of my dates. This service would not be something I'm interested in past dates having access to. In fact, I wonder if I could pay to keep my name off the site... ;)
