LoginThink you're going to go see that thin, blonde, buxom woman you've been chatting with online when you meet her for drinks tonight? Think that "affluent man" who you're about to join for an expensive dinner, will be able to pay for both of you? Think again! Running an exclusive online dating site myself, I can attest to the constant battle in working to maintain the integrity of online dating communities by weeding out disingenuous profiles -- yes, surprise surprise! Online daters lie.
Posted December 12, The proliferation of online dating in the new millennium has created a brand-new paradigm in meeting that special someone. People have broadened the pool of potential mates in unforeseen and often happy ways, but with wider opportunity has come peril at times. The nature of online socializing leaves out all the interpersonal cues and associated information that people can read within seconds of meeting one another. It accordingly also relies heavily on curated and manufactured profiles, the only way to convey to others what one is like.
Love is something most people look for during their lifetime. And nowadays, singles can do this from the comfort of their own home—thanks to dating apps. But getting to know someone from behind a screen comes with a risk as people may be more inclined to tell a few lies to bag a date. In fact, nearly half of Americans who use dating apps have admitted to lying on their profiles, according to new research. Newsweek reached out to dating experts to uncover the most common lies and how to spot a liar online. Andrew Hendel, a consultant to a safety-focused dating app called Marshmallo, told Newsweek that daters tend to lie about their height, location, and age.
But new research is turning the tables on deceivers using their own words. We can read their handiwork. Using personal descriptions written for Internet dating profiles, Toma and Jeffrey Hancock, communication professor at Cornell University, have identified clues as to whether the author was being deceptive. The researchers compared the actual height, weight and age of 78 online daters to their profile information and photos on four matchmaking websites. They have a lot to think about.
