A Chicago man is suing 27 women in the Chicago Facebook Group "Are we dating the same guy." Attorneys for the man liken disparaging remarks made about him to a digital scarlet letter.
Lies would qualify as defamatory. But most guys talked about in groups like this are not added on a whim. And to have that many women mentioning him, there isn’t much chance of all 27 lying. Hell, the fact that there even is 27 women that dated him that found the page… says alot.
The article says the facebook group was local. It also says there is a nationwide network of similar groups. It doesn’t say he didn’t know the women and there is no evidence either way of who is lying. Given that facebook was made for men to judge and talk about women online i think it’s high time it went the other way too.

Most women are probably not posting on a whim, but there are certainly people out there who thrive on drama and enjoy lying about people just to get a thrill out of it.

Where did you see that?
It’s in the article. The Facebook group was nationwide, not just local people.

It actually does. 27 people, chances are almost zero they are all randomly lying without any clear motive.
Guy seems questionable, but I dunno man, Internet’s weird. Snape Wives was a thing.
Oh absolutely. The article is very vague, but his behaviour seems quite fishy, based on the little information we have…
