A man in California, United States is suing women and has filed more than 50 cases against them after they reportedly called him a bad date on a viral Facebook page called “Are We Dating The Same Guy.”&nbsp;

<h2>What we know about the case</h2>

Stewart Lucas Murrey from the city of Santa Monica said that he has filed the lawsuit seeking damages amounting to $2.6 million for defamation and sex-based discrimination as well as “emotional distress and pain and suffering”.&nbsp;

The Facebook group Are We Dating The Same Guy? Los Angeles is a private group on Facebook and has nearly 54,000 members.&nbsp;

On his GoFundMe page, Murrey has claimed that at least 238 Facebook accounts were involved in “harming” him for over a year.&nbsp;

“Some of their acts included posting my pictures without my permission, tracking my whereabouts, conspiring to harass me, fabricating entire stories, and sensationalizing their unremarkable interactions with me,” he wrote.&nbsp;

Murrey also claimed that he had never met some of these women and “ever really saw” their faces on TV as they were talking about him in a press release.&nbsp;

“I support a safe space for women to protect themselves against being stalked, harassed or harmed, and not the other way around. These women exploited the concept of a safe space to gossip, defame and cyberbully anyone at whim,” he wrote.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the women sued said Murrey was using legal action to intimidate them. One of the women, Kelly Gibbons, said that the first time she met him in real life was when he came to her house to drop off the lawsuit.

“My heart started pounding, as I thought, this man knows where I live,” Gibbons told the Times of London. She added, “It was pretty eerie. He was filming with his cellphone, walking in. I don’t know who wouldn’t get creeped out by that.”

Last month, some of the women who were sued by Murrey held a press conference and said they were “just speaking their truth and, unfortunately for him, it was not favourable.”&nbsp;

The women, who have also created a GoFundMe page, said that they are coming together to “share truthful accounts of our personal experiences” as well as “valid concerns pertaining to the plaintiff’s unsettling behaviour and background, all of which is public information.”

On their page, they also said that Murrey “poses a legitimate danger to the women of Los Angeles.”&nbsp;

“Our negative interactions with him have spanned years. We plan to finally put an end to his harassing ways once and for all,” they added.&nbsp;

<h2>Los Angeles court throws out lawsuit</h2>

On Monday (Apr 8), a judge in the Los Angeles civil court ruled that one of the women, Vanessa Valdez, did nothing wrong by sharing her opinion of Murrey on the Facebook group.

In a private dating group on Facebook, Renee flaunts herself to like-minded singles as a fit, adventurous Kizomba dancer who at 35 exudes "inner child vibes." But her main draw?

In a private dating group on Facebook, Renee flaunts herself to like-minded singles as a fit, adventurous Kizomba dancer who at 35 exudes "inner child vibes." But her main draw? She is unvaccinated. The Covid-19 pandemic may have receded, but dating apps, websites and social media groups still offer to unite vaccine-hating singles who believe debunked falsehoods such as that coronavirus jabs alter DNA or cause infertility. The trend underscores how anti-vaccine sentiment has become an entrenched identity for many who willfully resist or ignore scientific assertions that inoculations saved tens of millions of lives globally when the pandemic was raging. A prospective match's vaccination status determines compatibility not just for Renee, a self-employed Australian, but for many posting in "unvaxed singles" groups that have cropped up on Facebook. Dating decisions there are driven by chemistry but not science. In one closed group breached by AFP, many listed "no jabbies" as their top dating criteria, while others cheered anti-vaccine advocates as "pure blood freedom fighters." One meme popular in the group described their ideal partner: "She's curvy, funny, intelligent, unvaccinated." It demonstrates how the pandemic turned rejecting vaccines from a personal health decision to the way "people express their personal brand," said Timothy Caulfield, a professor at the University of Alberta in Canada. "It shows how high the walls of their echo chambers are. Being anti-vaccine has become an ideological flag -- a way to demonstrate which team you belong to," Caulfield told AFP. "It is less and less about science and more and more about the values being antivax signal." 'Swipe left' According to a 2022 survey by the Pew Research Center, about half of US adults who used a dating site or app said it was important to see the vaccination status on profiles. "Why is your vaccination status such a big deal? I've even seen it listed as a 'dealbreaker' on some profiles," said a post in a dating discussion group on the online messaging board Reddit. "The profiles I see most state the following: 'if you're vaccinated then please swipe left.'" Some comments in the group referred to vaccinated singles as people carrying "biological weapons," an apparent reference to the debunked claim the vaccinated spread "super strain" variants. Vaccine falsehoods often overlap with other types of misinformation, introducing believers to those espousing the QAnon conspiracy theory and anti-LGBTQ narratives. "Studies have consistently shown that if a person is anti-vaccine – or unvaccinated – you can make a strong guess about that person's positions on a host of other issues," Caulfield said. Spreading falsehoods can also be profitable. The Florida-based Wellness Company sells a detoxification supplement that it claims counteracts the harmful effects of coronavirus jabs, destroying spike proteins to get back "that pre-Covid feeling." But experts and public health authorities told AFP's fact-checkers there is no evidence the nearly $65 supplement does that. The same company also backs a dating website for unvaccinated people called Unjected. Before being accepted, its members are required to have their "vaccination status certified by a medical professional," according to the website. In 2021, US media reported the Unjected app, dubbed as the "Tinder for anti-vaxers," was removed from Apple's App Store over Covid-19 misinformation. A slew of similar apps for unvaccinated singles are available on the Google Play Store. One such platform is called Unjabbed, whose user reviews expressed concern about bugs and phone hacking attempts after the app was downloaded. 'Tall, dark, handsome' At the height of the pandemic in 2021, conventional online dating platforms including Tinder, Hinge and OkCupid sought to boost vaccinations. As part of a White House-backed effort, many platforms allowed users to create badges displaying vaccination status, with OkCupid calling the inoculated the "new tall, dark and handsome." Users who were vaccinated or planned to be saw a spike in matches and engagement, OkCupid said in a blog, adding the "vaccine is really helping people find love." But any future inoculation drive could be jeopardized by anti-vaccine sentiment, which appears resilient even as the pandemic ebbs and travel restrictions are lifted around the world. The allure of finding an unvaccinated partner is reinforced by false social media posts sharing unfounded fears that vaccines can be "shed" or passed onto people through body fluids, threatening fertility. "The only real utility a dating platform like this could have is finding a partner that aligns with your 'medical freedom' views," Katrine Wallace, an epidemiologist and assistant professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, told AFP. "There is no clinical reason to do so."

Love Is Blind is a reality TV dating show that premiered on Netflix in February 2020. It is currently in its season 4. The show is hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, and it has gained a lot of popularity since its release. The unique premise of the show involves single men and women who are looking for love. The twist is that they are not allowed to see each other before they decide whether or not they want to get engaged. The show's contestants go on "dates" in "pods," which are essentially small rooms where they can talk to one another, but they are not able to see each other. They are given a chance to build a connection and develop an emotional bond with one another before they even see what their potential partner looks like.

After a few days of talking in the pods, the contestants are given the option to propose to their favourite person. If both parties agree, they get engaged, and then they finally get to see each other in person for the first time. The couples then go on a romantic vacation at a couples' retreat resort to get to know each other better and get physically intimate before returning home to meet each other's families and friends.

The contestants are also given counselling and advice from the show's relationship experts. They help couples deal with any issues that may arise and give them guidance on how to build a healthy and successful relationship.

The ultimate goal of the show is for the couples to decide if they want to get married. In the finale, the contestants are given the option to either go through with the wedding or break up with their partner.

The show is designed to test the theory that people can fall in love without knowing what someone looks like. The premise of the show is based on the idea that true love is blind and that physical appearance is not the most important factor in a relationship.

Throughout the series, the couples face various challenges and obstacles that test their love for each other. The show has been praised for its unique concept and for exploring the idea of whether love can indeed be blind. It has also been criticised for its manipulation of the contestants and for perpetuating stereotypes about relationships.

Best revenge! Name a cockroach after your ex and feed it to an animal this Valentine's Day 2023

When the shelves start getting stacked with teddy bears, heart-shaped candy boxes, and flowers, you know it's time to celebrate love and Valentine's Day. It's the perfect time to plan something special for your crush or girlfriend, cut the months-long chase and say the three heavy words. Since we know it's not the easiest task and impressing someone takes a trick or two, we have a quick dating guide for you.

Whether you’re planning a laid-back date or something more extravagant, you must remember that you can only impress your girl by confessing your true feeling for her. Before seeing the decor, gifts, and the things you have planned for your Valentine's Day, she will see how genuine you sound, what you truly feel for her and how you're willing to plan a life together. These are the things that will truly matter to her!

So, unlike most dating guides that suggest ways to plan a perfect date night, we will help you understand how you can say the three magical words in the most genuine way possible.

You must go down on one knee!

It goes without saying but we will still stress the importance of going down on one knee when you propose or say "I love you".&nbsp;This&nbsp;gesture has been connected to submission, deference, and respect, among other things.&nbsp;The origin of this tradition is unknown, however, the action itself has been around for centuries.

Write down a list of vows

When your girl will hear you say those vows yourself, it will reassure her how much you love her and want to be with her. So make vows you know will mean a lot to your girl. Tell her how you will stand by her in good and bad times. Or how you will take care of her when she is sick or needs support. These small promises mean a lot in a relationship.

Handmade or handwritten&nbsp;

Gift her something handmade or write a love letter for her that can always remind her of your love and devotion. If you are good at pottery, make a flower vase for her with both of your initials or your anniversary date. If you are a painter, make a painting for her. Just get creative with the process and enjoy it!

Look and smell your best

Don't forget to don your best tuxedo and spray your favourite perfume before going on the date. You must look and smell your best.

Capture the moment

Lastly, ask your friend to capture the moment on a camera. Your girl would love to relive the moments through pictures and videos.

When the shelves start getting stacked with teddy bears, heart-shaped candy boxes, and flowers, you know it's time to celebrate love and Valentine's Day. It's the perfect time to plan something special for your crush or girlfriend, cut the months-long chase and say the three heavy words.

1. India's Tinder Swindler

Dating apps and sites are cluttered with a plethora of fake profiles where thousands of scamsters trap innocent individuals under the guise of romance and dupe them. Many cybercriminals often do this through popular social media sites like Instagram or Facebook or dating apps like Tinder. When the world was hit by COVID pandemic, there was a spike in the number of people flocking to the internet to seek some online company during isolation. A man named Ramesh Kumar Swain, who married and defrauded 27 women from 10 different states for money is India's 'Tinder Swindler', named after a documentary on Netflix. In the documentary, a notorious man posed as a wealthy heir and wooed women online, then conned them of millions of dollars. In a similar manner, Swain laid elaborate traps and took advantage of the women’s helplessness. Among one of Odisha's most notorious fraudsters, Swain targeted women that were middle-aged, educated, and well-off but were coping with divorce, or had family issues. The good part of the story? The 66-year-old con man was nabbed by the Odisha police for his wrongdoings while he was travelling in a car in the Indian city of Bhubaneswar.&nbsp;

2. 'Dexter' inspired Aaftab-Shraddha murder case&nbsp;

The gruesome killing of Shraddha Walker who was chopped into pieces is pushing people to reflect on the associated dangers of hooking up through online dating apps. Shraddha, whose body was disposed off after a brutal murder, had met Aaftab Poonawala on an online dating app Bumble in 2019. Both then moved to Delhi from Mumbai. Did Shraddha have the slightest of clue that by subscribing to the dating app she is apparently inching closer to a trap laid by this violent sexual predator who would kill her like an animal? In interrogation, Aaftab admitted that on May 18, after an argument, he strangled Shraddha and dismembered her body into 35 pieces to dispose it off easily without arousing suspicion. He also confessed that after “chopping the body”, he “washed the blood and stuffed the pieces in plastic bags and then kept them in the fridge”. Aaftab even bought a 300-litre fridge in which he kept the severed body parts of Shraddha for almost three weeks before dumping them across the forest area over several days in a 'Dexter' inspired crime. Even after the grisly murder, Aaftab continued to talk to multiple women on dating apps.
