Ok, it is said that women on dating sites always state their "body style" as one level better than they are. That is Average people list "athletic", large as "a few extra pounds" and so on.
Ok, it stands to reason but, what do guys ly about? Age? Marital status? I saw an experiment on this conducted by a female online dater.. I will have to dig it up, it was pretty revealing.
So what do YOU stretch the truth on when filling out a profile?

Re: Who tells the truth anyway?
Thu, February 9, 2006 - 11:05 AMI find that I've been pretty honest, otherwise, if you do actually meet them, and they get the shock of their lives, it'll be a pretty short date!

Re: Who tells the truth anyway?
Sun, February 12, 2006 - 9:25 PMI think that many people put too much emphasis on looks. Life isn't a beauty pageant or a Mr America contest. Sure, there has to be mutual attraction, but nobody should be made to feel as if they have to look like Barbi Benton in order to feel attractive. Every woman is attractive in some way to somebody (dean martin).

Re: Who tells the truth anyway?
Sun, February 12, 2006 - 9:04 PMI tell the truth on the profiles, whenever I get around to creating one. What good is it to create an artificial image if a person really wants to hook up with a genuine in-the-flesh person? Gotta be a little careful not to include stuff that isn't meant for public consumption, though. To reveal too much is to invite trouble, either from crooks or from the government, or both. -

Re: Who tells the truth anyway?
Tue, March 14, 2006 - 11:16 PMLying is SUCH a waste of time & energy AND puts a negative spin on one's 'personal truth'.
It's such a terrible way to begin the process of getting to know someone. To have to go back and clear it up with "Ohhh by the way, yanno when I said *blah* ... I lied. It's really *blah, blah*" Wow!! Makes for a great first impression! *ugh* Secondly, lying about your appearance/weight is ridiculous ... if you have NO intention of meeting someone ... well, I suppose no one will ever really know the extent of your true self. But if there IS intention of meeting ~ whats the deal?! Don't think they are going to notice you're actually 5'8" and not 6'2? Or you are of 'average weight' and NOT considered slim? Or *a good one I've heard from women* say you've got some nice cleavage, when in fact ... we'll ... lets just say it's COMPLETELY obvious - it's all in the tightness and style of bra being worn. *laughs!*
I'm not one to exaggerate when I've posted/replied to online-personals in the past - I am an honest and forthcoming woman who isn't into the game and BS. I am who I am ... and if someone don't like my honesty of who I am ... jump along. I'm not going to change and exaggerate to catch someones eye. -

I agree. Most of the sites are crap. But I keep my hopes up that someone will ACTUALLY read what I've written and see that I'm not there for booty calls. Honesty is one of the most important things to me, not being topped by anything but maybe tied with some others. I don't want to waste my time or anyone elses, I'm looking for the real thing. Can't put up with the bullshit!

Thu, April 27, 2006 - 12:29 AMWhy lie? The only person you are lying to is yourself in the end.

Re: Who tells the truth anyway?
Thu, June 22, 2006 - 1:36 PMI have been completely honest so far and intend to stay that way. I don't have anything to hide. People who are fake and insecure lie about themselves, two traits which I am thankful I do not possess. -

Saints, predators and thieves aboard!
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 8:21 AMThe fact that the Internet is such an open and free place makes it possible for all sorts of people to mingle freely. Thieves, predators, and saints are able to rub shoulders at will. That is something I alway take into account when I am online. I like the interactions with people but I am aware of the pitfalls. Being online brings out the worst behavior in some people. I have seen things online and become aware online of things I never dreamed of. In time, I have found that you can develop friendships with people online that are rewarding and enriching. Nothing can ever take the place of the experience of having a face to face encountr with a person and becoming aware of who they are through the testimonials of others who know them. -

Re: Saints, predators and thieves aboard!
Fri, January 26, 2007 - 7:36 PMThat is the Catch-22 of the Internet. There are people who surf for people to victimize, just as there are people who surf to gain knowledge, to meet people, and to interact. I wish I knew the answer to the problem of scammers-on-line. I will never look to the government for a solution, though. The LAST thing the Internet needs is government intervention and/or control. -

Re: Saints, predators and thieves aboard!
Mon, April 9, 2007 - 11:22 AMI agree with you on that point. The Internet is just a new dimension of reality. It is a good idea to use common sense and caution when interacting with people they meet, either online or offline.

Re: Who tells the truth anyway?
Mon, April 9, 2007 - 11:16 AMI am honest when giving my profile and providing a photo of myself. I have nothing to lose by being honest. However, I find that meeting people online is the same as meeting them any other way. People are often devious and untrustworthy, depending upon their character, disposition, and intentions. Even when you meet a person face to face, it is often difficult to discover exactly who you are dealing with.
One thing I have discovered online is that there are far more overweight and large women online than ones of average and petite size. "A few extra pounds", more often than not, means that a woman is fat.
