Dear Members,

I would like to share my and my friends' experience about dating sites.
According to it, men usually add some extra centimeters to their height, and ladies are not always honest about their weight and their age (to say nothing of putting 10-year old pictures on their profiles).

My question is - what for?

anyway it will be revealed during a real meeting and disappointment is not the best thing to feel when you meet a person for the first time .. Or is it more about some role playing, when you want to feel younger, taller, more beautiful , even virtually? Lie, game or self-deciept? Please revert !

Sorry, but this fact isn’t obtained on a dating site but is well known in surveying practice: some variables – as height, weight, income, alcohol consumption etc. – do have a certain bias when self-reported. Bias depends on how a question is formulated and just reflects the double standards existing in a given society as individual dreams and plans. Nothing dramatic.

Why people lie? There was a thread on this forum for some time ago, you can check and find an answer on your question if you care. People do lie, it’s a part of human nature.

If your friend didn’t draw any conclusion of that episode, then yes, it’s waste of time and money. But if she analyzed the situation and understood what she did wrong – then it’s an experience. An expensive one, sure, but experience is never for free.

Men from different countries contact me now and then, and I always ask them what wrong with the girl next door. And if I don’t get a satisfying answer, I don’t continue correspondence. There are women in Australia as well, and what makes him unattractive to the local women, makes him unattractive to all other women. You don’t have to be a psychologist, just use your common sense.

it is not about its being dramatic , but again, about common sense ..
age, height, weight - these are numbers, and with all double standards they remain the same ..Besides, this information is often optional, so every person has a chance not to mention it if not happy with it.

The point was to discuss the reason to build communication based on fake ideas.. and fake ideas are based on fake facts that a person presents about himself. Even if everybody knows the universal truth - be yourself, and you can be sure that there is a person in this world who likes you exactly as who you are. But give him / her the chance to see you !

Different people here have different agenda. Some want to meet friends or find a romantic relationship. Some just spend their time in lack of something better to do (of different reasons). There are disturbed people as well. You can’t expect everyone to have the same preferences and behavior as yours.
