Things Online Daters Lie about
It is often reported that the area of Internet dating nurtures lies. It is now been estimated that about 80% lie in their profiles. However, in any other area of human activity, people tend to cover truth. The reason for this is always the same: they want to gain attention and be loved. Because every online dating site is a place where people can feel safe and free to express themselves, they can be a bit ‘too creative’ about themselves.
There are certain areas, in which people tend to tell more lies than in other ones. Below is the list of things about which different people do not always tell truth.
Age and appearance
A significant part of users lie about their age and appearance. While men add a few inches to their height, they have a smaller issue with weight than women. Apart from lying about their weight and physique in order to seem lighter and leaner, ladies also state that they are younger than they really are.
Job
Another big common lie is a job or a profession. It has been established that men often lie that they are in healthcare, film industry and finance, while women tell they are related to the areas of marketing, entertainment and finance. People often name more interesting or more prestigious jobs than they really have. Also, they often lie about positions they take: they are usually more advanced in their profiles.
Previous relationships and social connections
Men and women like to be seen as more outgoing then they really are; sometimes, this kind of lies includes being acquainted with celebrities. People also state false information about sexual relationship they had in order to seem more experienced. Research suggests that men lie about such things more often than women.
Finances
Because women prefer wealthier partners, men lie about their finances on a online dating site: they tend to be richer and to have more economic power, as they may feel that what they earn might be too little for a date of their dreams.
Status
Some people lie about their relationship status. Despite the existence of communities that tolerate extramarital affairs, men and women who already have a partner may look for adventures on the side online.
In general, people tend to tell falsehoods about different things; what they lie about depends on types of their personalities and whom they want to impress. Being real is a hard work, but it never goes unappreciated.
