RE: How to Spot a Lie

Much of what was said, above, is subjective, as the article states.

Simple logic--that has been know for centuries, since Plato, Aristotle--is the key. I look, especially, for contradictions. If a profile states it is female, but has what I term "gender confusion" in their descriptions, then you can see that there is a high likelihood that something is amiss.

Here is an actual example from a profile that sent me a "like," earlier today:

"More About Me
I am a happy woman who want....

More About my Match
I am man who love and take care of a woman...."

Obviously, there's a problem here.

Also this morning, one of the regular bloggers posted an alligator story. However, when I checked the actual Orlando Newspaper article that he quoted as a source, the Newspaper clearly stated that the fence was aluminum, whereas the blogger stated it was wrought iron.

Such details are not just flukes. You can find them continuously. The Internet abounds and excels in disinformation.

In order to deceive people, one must change the details, and present them as truth. Liars, can only wait to be caught.

So, always ensure that anybody you talk to is self-consistent. I will already tell you, that 99.9% of the profiles on this site, are not self-consistent. Most of them have places like: Los Angeles, DC; New York, CA; etc... That is the place to start. If their profile isn't accurate, then most likely, other things won't be accurate either. (It is proper to obfuscate your location, especially in this day and age. But one should at least be on the correct continent. For example, mine says, Pwetty Blue Planet, WA. I am, in fact, in WA, but I only give out the city to people who are nice and contact me directly. Don't confuse safety, with dishonesty.) Other examples are eye color, hair color, height, weight, etc.

If the person can't spell very well, but they have PhD listed or in the description / occupation, then you might want to double-check those details. I do. But, I don't have issues with most of it. Many people can't write and will copy things from the Internet into their profile (a mild form of deception). But, scammers do exactly the same thing! So, always, always check the profile details. I for one don't want to misrepresent myself as a woman! You can rest assured, that any mistakes in gender, are pretty large mistakes, even when taking into account language differences. I write all of my own words and sentences, and never copy, unless citing something in quotes, as above. But, then again, I'm an Amateur Author.

Hope this helps. My opinions are my own.

Shalom,
Iyyov
