Safety is definitely an issue and the main issue, but you could play a decoy and entrap the men but how long until your face gets out there and men see you coming a mile away like undercover cops that aren't undercover anymore. You know what I mean. So I would say try it as a side thing and see how much you can make off of it and just have a sidekick or someone in case you get in a sticky situation. Stick with broadcast journalism as your main focus because that will certainly pay the bills. Over all stay focused, be safe, and have fun. Do what you love and the money will follow.

I saw this before. A woman used to do it. She was still a P.I. but she did it a little differently, she would hit on men or wait for the married man or boyfriend to hit on her and report all info back to the wife/girlfriend. She got paid well for her time.

I was thinking of getting into this too. I am nosey anyway! I am going to PM you some names.

I find that just Google-ing people doesnt always work. I've googled guys that I know have been locked up and they dont come up! Also, I'm not trying to pay $49 for evey person i want to look up on a background check website!

I did my first job as a joke, a friend of mine wanted to find out where a certain guy lived, no one in the city knew, and his friends were very tight lipped about it. I didn't even have to follow him, I did my online research first, the name was never printed so I look through all the real-estate sites and did a estimate of his salary with the price of each condo. Took a ride one day drove around the city for about 2 hrs. Eventually found it, it was so exclusive that you couldn't get in if you tried to, no door for the lobby, not even a proper garage entrance, cameras everywhere, not even a button for the elevator......

I'm glad to hear it pays good money, but I mentioned the saftey issue bc cheating men are CRAZY these days, remember the host from Cheaters? how he got stabbed? ridiculous. I will stick with journalism though, I LOVE IT! I envy what Oprah has, I want her achievements so bad.....
