Can’t find an “honest” relationship in real life? Well, don’t get your hopes up for finding one on the internet.
OkTrends, the official blog of free online dating site OKCupid recently did a study of the 1.51 million user profiles in the site and rounded up the top lies that people put in their profiles to make them seem more attractive. These lies include misleading information about their height (men usually say that they’re two inches taller than they really are); sexuality (80% of people who claim they’re bisexual are really only interested in one gender); and income (most users are 20% poorer than they claim.) Needless to say, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. But hey, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the only reason that people lie on their profiles is because shallow details like someone’s height is overshadowing who they are on the inside. Who knows, in real life, these people could actually have stunning personalities. That is if you could get past the whole, you know, lying thing.
