It’s no secret that I’ve had a long history of crappy relationships. I always seem to meet the jerkiest guys on the face of the Earth. There was the abusive ex-husband and the psycho boyfriend. And of course, we can’t forget the guy who pretended to be a devoted boyfriend for nearly a year before suddenly deciding that he couldn’t commit. Wouldn’t it have been great if these guys had come with warning labels?
Ladies, I just discovered a great tool for screening potential boyfriends. Dating expert Stephany Alexander founded WomanSavers in 2002. This website is a free service that allows women to report the abusive and cheating men they’ve gotten involved with, while researching new men they meet. It’s all about women helping other women make better, safer, and more informed dating decisions.
I’ve met a lot of guys through online dating services, and I have always been advised by my friends to check them out before meeting. It’s great advice that any relationship expert will give you; however, it’s not just the online guys we need to check out. Keep in mind that there are lots of jerks who are meeting women in more traditional places - bars, grocery stores, workplaces, and even church! You can never go wrong by checking out each and every guy who asks you out.
In addition to serving as the world’s largest jerk database, WomanSavers has a number of other great features. You can find support by communicating with other women through chat and forums. You have access to dating advice by infidelity expert Stephany Alexander. There is a whole page full of tips on how to catch a cheater. And you can even send free e-cards.
I just registered with the site, and I hope that every woman reading this post will do the same. By coming together, we can help protect each other from the many jerks out there and ensure that the good guys finish first.

Interesting web-site.
I do hope it weeds out some of the players out there who ruin it for the rest of us who are nice.
I also have to admit part of me is wary of the site. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And ya know, I’m sure some of my exs wouldn’t have kind things to say about me, even though we al know how sweet and loveable I really am.

Mike - Ha! We certainly do know how sweet and lovable you really are. But now I’m curious just what those exes have to say about you!
Kev - I’ll take care of that right now. (5 minutes later) You’re there now!

Oh my, my Mum may crash their system if she enters all the yucky men she has dated throughout her many, many years. BOL!
