Are We Dating the Same Guy Facebook groups involve women posting about men they met on OLD and seeing if anyone in the group happens to know the men and can confirm their relationship statuses. While I can understand how it works, it has some limitations. If the guy is already taken, his SO may not be in the Facebook group and be able to tell you that he is actually not single.
I think it' possible to get a person you know or hire a private investigator to follow a guy. I don't think I will ever be comfortable having sex with a guy I met on OLD as there are just way too many catfishes and men with STIs. on OLD. Things will be different if I have a person I know irl or a private investigator can confirm his identity. That said, asking someone to follow the guy may lead to that person's life being at risk and hiring private investigators is expensive.
Totally agree on hiring a P.I., in my local Are We Dating the Same Guy fb group there are a bunch of pickmes who screenshot the posts and tell the men, jeopardizing the safety of the woman who posts. Even though the mods have tried to crack down, they have not been successful and I feel like not as many women post anymore because they’re scared it will get back to guy…
I tried one of these groups and I posted a guy and I have woman respond about him but not giving any details. I think this is fear that they will tell the guy or the guy is infiltrating the group. I hate it.
