What online dating really is like

Post Reply New Topic

Guy's typically lie about their salary and their height and we've all seen the aweful MySpace angles that can turn any ugly woman into a hottie. In fact, it may even be the rule and not the exception. Anyway, here's what hidden cameras show:

The bottom line is, be honest! I've experienced this as well and it's very awkward!

I find it can be too boring.

Wow I had no idea that people lie about themselves on the internet.

Interesting, it seems rather dishonest and pointless though because when they actually meet someone in real life, that façade would fall through unless they could keep it up. Honesty is the best foundation for a relationship and if you were going to be living together at some point, it would be good to be honest about your situation.

To be honest, deception is never good for any relationship but I suppose if they are looking for casual sex, they may lead the woman on with promises just to get in her panties with the "Should I be a king for a day or spend my life as a beggar?" mentality. However I still think it's silly and wrong that people aren't honest.

Personally I think it makes it more difficult for those of us on the spectrum because we're more naive, I used to be naive and gullible but I've realized to trust my instincts better now and be more cautious that people are willing to be dishonest for their own gain.

Guys, do you really believe that you may find a girlfriend on aspie forum??:)

That's not the point of this thread.

Well if Aspies can't meet a girl in person and they can't trust them to be honest via online dating, then I guess we're pretty much up s*** creek without a paddle.

It's seeing things like these that make me feel a little better for being too scared to talk to anyone on OKC.

My experience with eHarmony:

When I was doing online dating, I only caught a few people in lies, and it was always about their age (I have no idea whether they lied about their salaries or jobs, I don't really care about stuff like that). It was only a handful of people, but they always presented themselves as younger than they really were.

I felt sorry for them, they hadn't rehearsed their lies very well.

Milly must have a twin brother called Billy.

Billy is slightly more literate. He does write real English, but all he has to say is:

will fill this out later will fill this out later will fill this out later will fill this out later will fill this out later will fill this out later

Some people just want to keep the facade up long enough to have sex with a new person a few times.
If they only want to go on a half-dozen dates before they expect to get tired of this person and wish to move on, it is sometimes possible that their lies will not be discovered, especially if they are going out on a date with someone who is trusting.

Thanks for sharing that.
It made me laugh.
You should make more blog entries to go with that one.
