Site spotlights cheating men, warns women

A new Web site, constructed in early November, allows women to post revenge on cheating boyfriends, fiances and husbands.
The site, dontdatehimgirl com, has become a trendy tool for women to warn other women of potential cheaters.
"My best friend dated a sleazeball, and I would so put his name in there," said Andrea Iman, Elkhart junior.
Iman said the site is funny and entertaining.
"I think it's a great resource for women," creater Tasha Cavelle Joseph said last week on the Today Show.
Joseph, a journalist, wrote a column for The Miami Herald for more than seven years. She was inspired to start the Web site after talking to friends about their relationships with cheating men.
Celebrity hotshots like Jude Law and Eric Benet have even been added to the database.
The searchable database lists men's full names, pictures and detailed descriptions of why they should be avoided.
Eric DeVault, Lawrence junior, said people wanted drama, and that's why men and women were debating the issue. The site, he said, would be another trend that stirs up drama.
He said the site could be slanderous toward men in some situations, but he was not worried about the site because he hadn't cheated on any girlfriends.
The site gives men a chance to counteract his bashing, by submitting a reply to the posting. If a man's contact information is given with the posting, he is sent an e-mail notification that he's on the Web site.
Out of more than 1,000 men who are listed, 50 to 100 have posted a reply.
Although women can post anonymously, the site keeps their information that is required for registration, in case Joseph finds false information in a post.
Joseph said the Web site, which has three other staff members, gets 580,000 hits a day and has 250,000 registered members. Maintaining the site is her full-time job. Users submit 100 men each day, and there is a backlog of about two thousand submissions that Joseph and her colleagues must sort.
Joseph updates a blog every few weeks. The blog includes "Cheaters of the Day," site promotions and funny stories about cheating men.
A countering Web site, dontdateherman.com, is in development and will be up the first week of April.

Correspondent retires after 38 years with show
NEWYORK - Mike Wallace, the hard-driving reporter who has been with "60 Minutes" since its start in 1968, said Tuesday he will retire as a regular correspondent on the show this spring.
A television news legend who was the last person an accused wrongdoer would want to see on his doorstep,
Wallace said he'll still do occasional reports for the show. CBS News President Sean McManus referred to him as a "correspondent emeritus."
Wallace, 87, has often said he'll retire "when my toes turn up."
"Well, they're just beginning to curl a trifle, which means that, as I approach my 88th birthday, it's become apparent to me that my eyes and ears, among other appurtenances, aren't quite what they used to be," he said.
