Is anyone in an online relationship with someone you’ve never met and you’re worried that the other person is lying about their profile? Or are you keeping something (even if it’s just the fact that you’re a lot shorter than you say, or your job is different, etc.)? Please contact me, I work for a national daytime show and we’re looking for people who want to share their stories.

I think to a point it’s fine, but it depends what you lie about. Do you say you’re a couple inches different and try to post nice pictures or do you post a deliberately misleading MySpace angle pic designed to make you look 50 lbs slimmer and say you have a 500K income when you don’t? Or worse yet, use a picture that isn’t even you? I say I’m 6’0″ which is my height with shoes on. My secret is to paint a picture without lying so that I can’t be accused of being someone who will say whatever it takes to get laid.

And as for “me” up above, you’re exactly the kind of woman I’d never date. When I’m out on a date, I want to have fun, not feel like I’m being interrogated as a suspect. Is it any wonder you’re still single when you treat all guys like “persons of interest” in a murder case rather than potential boyfriends?

To have a decent selection of women, a man can’t be any shorter than 5’7″, and that’s the bottom line. And to have a decent selection of men, a woman can’t weigh more than about 180 lbs unless she’s super tall (which will actually hurt her chances anyway).

I was looking for something about this!! I have a blog and made mention on it that I have found in internet dating that a man’s height is usually off by a couple of inches. Being that I am 5’9 this always made a difference in my life. I was wondering if that men just dont know their height or if it was always done on purpose!! Thanks for this!!

I enjoyed the article and I also find it interesting that us humans try and fluff our feathers to look just a little better to our possible future mate. As for weight… how do you measure ‘a little extra’ or ‘average’ or whatever? People don’t really lie about that because they know the person that they meet will decide for themselves if a person is ‘too heavy’ to date (or too skinny for that matter). Same for a person’s height… What is a couple of inches? Again when ‘we’ meet you will soon find out that your 6 foot hunk is a 5′ 5″ shrimp. (I am 5′ 5″). What bothers me about the article and dating in general is one of the responses. I am afraid I am going to meet some gal that had a profile that I thought I could enjoy and she fit the age, height and looks test and we meet someplace and then I start getting the 3rd degree on how many traffic tickets I have had not to mention the yard stick and the forms that I will have to fill out just to say good night… because she already ate the dinner I bought her.

I recently interviewed a woman on my radio show who said that women tend to lie about body type or age and men lie about body type or income.
I’m not sure it’s that simple to break down. I think people – of either sex lie about the thing, whatever it is, that they are most insecure about.
I appreciate your article. I recently wrote an article about how to write your online profile I’d like to share.

That’s a very astute observation about the NW study, Torsh. It would be interesting to see how things play out later in life as preferences change.
