I'm happily with my boyfriend in a comitted relationship but 2 of my best friends are single and have tried out the online dating thing (Yahoo, Match, Fitnesssingles). They always want me to screen the men (what they wrote in their profile) before they go out on an acutal date with. Only thing is that a majority of the men they dated turned out to be big time losers who were not honest in their profiles. They lied about everything from:
1. Their age
2. Job and what they did for a living
3. How much money they made
4. What they looked like (some posted pictures from 5-10 years ago)
5. How tall they were
6. What color their hair was
7. Whether they had been previously married/divorced
8. Whether they had kids from a previous marriage or relationship
9. Whether they seriously wanted kids or not
One 40 year old guy was still living with his mother, made $45K doing odd jobs and admitted that he had no savings or 401K. My friend asked him point blank, "Why would you think any woman would want to date you?" He said because I am fast and place in the top 5 in his age group in tri. She then walked out of the coffee shop.
Warning to all you womens to ***Not*** trust what you read on an online dating profile. (Thank god I have a boyfriend.) Probably some normal and honest men out there but most of my friend's experiences were terrible but we all had a good laugh last night.
