The dating world can be hard enough to navigate when the men you're seeing just aren't interesting or compatible with you. But the fact that there are a lot of lying, cheating, and downright abusive potential dates makes it that much harder.
That's why Tracy Tegan decided to step in, and create a database for all the horrible ex-boyfriends women have had.
Girl Power Girl Strong was founded by Tegan, and hosts a variety of content with the aim to empower women as they navigate a male-dominated society.
The Ex Boyfriend List is exactly as it sounds; it's a database full of men who have treated women horribly.
"We all have that loser ex we want to warn others about, and now you can do just that," the site's description reads.
"Just enter the name of your ex in the search box to find out if he's already on the bad boyfriend list or you can click here to report your ex-boyfriend."
While the database posts some information like the man's name and his city and state, users are prohibited from providing other details like their phone number, place of work, or address.
Another huge rule for using the database is to tell the truth: "Talk about what your ex-boyfriend did to you but don’t makeup lies. Come on, you are better than that."
Other than that, though, it's basically open season. Users post the stories of these men, sharing the ways they mistreated their ex-girlfriends (and what they could possibly do to future girlfriends).
Unfortunately, too many women have had to deal with men who couldn't be bothered to treat them with dignity. Fortunately for everyone else, though, hundreds of woman have decided to share their experiences.
While the website allows you to search for specific names, it also shows the entire database from date posted, with stories that range from being manipulative or unfaithful, to emotional and even physical abuse.
One woman complained that her ex was in several long-term relationships while being in a "committed" relationship with her. Another complained that he had stolen money from her family.
Plenty of the bad exes are from the United States, but women from Australia, Canada, and the U.K. have made use of the database as well. Women from all over are flocking to protect women.
