A not very formal survey of the million or so people using the “Google of online dating” OkayCupid took a look at the things people lie about the most online…..WE SEEEE YOU. No really, we’re looking at your photos.
Height: People are two inches shorter in real life.” An infographic on online dating reveals a similar data point: height is one of the top three things American men lie about on online dating sites, while women are more likely to lie about their weight and build.
Income: “People are 20% poorer than they say they are.” An infographic on online dating from Online Schools likewise reports that income is one of the things American men lie about most when looking for love on the web.
Photos: “The more attractive the picture, the more likely it is to be out-of-date.” On the whole, the dating site found that “over a third of the hottest photos on the site are a year old or more. And more than twice as many hot photos are over three years old (12%) as average-looking ones (5%).”
Sexuality: “80% of self-identified bisexuals are only interested in one gender.”
Are these lies true?
