What these numbers mean if you're a man dating in the US
-
Your city almost certainly has one
Every state has at least one group, and most big cities have their own. If you date anywhere in the US, a group covers the area you date in.
-
It's local, and that's what makes it personal
These groups are organised by region. A post about you isn't read by strangers across the country. It's read by women in your area, the same women you might match with next.
-
You can see the size, not the posts
A group's name and member count are public. Every post is private, and the admins approve women only. So you can know a group of 25,000 or 230,000 women exists where you live, and still have no idea what's been said in it.
-
There may be more than one group near you
On top of the official groups, copycats use the same name. The organisation behind the official groups warns about them itself. Which group covers you isn't always obvious.

A list tells you where to look, not what's there
Finding your region's group is step one. Finding out whether you're in it means someone has to search it post by post, and read what comes up. No site can do that for you automatically. Be careful with any that claim to search “all groups” in seconds.

There's a group where you live. Are you in it?
A real person searches the Tea App and the AWDTSG group covering your region by hand, and sends you screenshots, direct links and a recording of every place they looked. $49 once. If your region's group can't be reached, you get $20 back automatically.

Group names are shortened. Counts change every day. Some women belong to more than one group, so combined memberships are not the number of different women. Only US regional groups are included; copycat groups are not. Shield Date is not affiliated with Are We Dating The Same Guy or Facebook. You're welcome to cite these figures with a link to this page.
