Ashley Gutierrez, a 34-year-old law student from Arizona, shared a viral TikTok video about her dating experience with a younger man who had several red flags. He followed almost 5,000 girls on Instagram, was inconsistent with dates, and claimed to have trauma that he processed by going to Las Vegas. Gutierrez broke up with him and later discovered that he was also dating multiple other women, as revealed by a Facebook group called “Are We Dating The Same Guy?”
