Are We Dating The Same Guy? Online groups toe the line between protecting women and defaming men. Infidelity and deception have always been part of dating and relationships. Traditionally managed privately between the parties or through legal processes, these issues have recently been co-opted by online vigilante communities that shame daters — men in particular — who behave badly.
