It may be difficult to know where to look for love, but at least we know where not to: a company called JDI Dating, which is being sued for its fake dating profiles. Luckily, the company has agreed to pay the fine, but not before members of dating websites such as CupidsWand. The only indication that these perhaps weren't real people was a small icon in the top right corner that stands for "virtual cupid. All this raises the question of how reliable online dating actually is, and whether you can trust a company enough to put your love life in its hands. According to an NPR interview with Christian Rudder , the site's co-founder and president, the company has "experimented" with its dating algorithm by matching people who weren't compatible and failing to match people who were. While I'm all for experimentation, doing so at the expense of OkCupid users instead of in a controlled testing environment doesn't sit well with me. They go to these sites because they trust companies to help them achieve what they have yet to achieve offline, and then find that their time and money have been wasted on fake profiles in the case of JDI or " in the name of science " in the case of OkCupid.
