Are you in the Miami group?

“Are We Dating The Same Guy” is a network of private Facebook groups, each one tied to a city or region. Women join the group for where they live, post a photo or a screenshot of a man they’ve met or matched with, and ask whether anyone else knows him. Here is how that works in Miami.

One big group and a ring of smaller ones

The main group here covers Miami, Fort Lauderdale and South Florida together, with about 70,000 members. Around it sits a ring of smaller groups: one centered on Brickell and Downtown, others for Miami and Broward, and others again for Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. A woman might belong to the main group, one of the smaller ones or several, depending on where she lives and who invited her.

That makes a Miami search wider than most. Checking the big group gives you an answer about that group only, and a post about you could be sitting in one of the smaller ones.

Neighborhoods with their own crowds

Brickell’s towers, Wynwood’s bars and galleries, Miami Beach across the causeways and the quieter, leafy streets of Coral Gables each draw different people. They tend to socialize within their own circles, and the apps are often what connects them. A man who lives in Brickell can easily match with a woman in Coral Gables or on the Beach, and she may belong to a group he has never heard of.

Visitors and seasonal residents

Miami has a constant flow of people who are only partly here. Visitors come for a long weekend, and seasonal residents spend the winter in the city and head north when the summer heat arrives. On the apps, that means plenty of profiles that appear for a while and then vanish. Women in the groups are used to posts about men who were in town briefly, and a seasonal resident can be posted about in a group he never sees.

Where Broward and Palm Beach overlap

The county lines between Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach count for very little in dating. Plenty of people live in Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood and come south for a night out, or live in Miami and date up the coast. Several of the groups reflect that by covering more than one county.

We start with the main South Florida group, then the surrounding groups that a post tends to travel into: the Miami-Broward and Fort Lauderdale groups, the Palm Beach groups and the ones covering South Florida as a whole. If you’ve also lived or dated somewhere else, put it in the order notes and we’ll widen the search.

One answer across all of them

With posts spread this widely, it’s hard to know where to look, and checking one group on its own leaves the question open. A single search across the groups gives you one clear answer instead of a partial one, and lets you get on with your week knowing what is out there.
