The Biggest Lies Singles Tell On Dating Apps

As if online dating wasn't hard enough, now find singles are big liars when it comes to their profiles. Let's just say, these are not "profiles in courage" as the old saying goes. People are not being totally honest with a lot of things they put on their profiles, but these are the lies they shouldn't tell. Thank the lord that you don't have to list your weight on your profile or we would probably come close to 100% liars across the board. However, people do list their height and you can be sure that made the list of the biggest lies singles tell on dating apps. It would be one thing to embellish a bit about yourself and your accomplishments and all of the wonderful things you like to do on a first date. It's entirely another thing to lie about things that eventually you will be found out for. I mean at some point if the relationship works out aren't you going to have to tell the person that you told a few little lies on the app and it's time to fess up? Perhaps people think the risk of telling a lie will be worth it if things work out and you have a undeniable chemistry that will overcome all the lies. Here are the biggest lies singles tell on dating apps A poll of 1,000 online daters found one in five have lied about their AGE.  21% of people admitted to it, including 19% of women and 23% of men. One in eight have also lied about each of these five things:  Their height . . . their income . . . their job, or lack thereof . . . their dating history . . . and their CURRENT relationship status. One in seven have even lied about their hobbies just to seem more attractive.  (Like, "I'm totally into paddle boarding" . . . but you're actually into watching Netflix with your five cats.) The poll found the most popular dating apps in 2024 are Tinder, Plenty of Fish, and Bumble.  And active online daters spend an average of 51 minutes a day swiping through potential partners. Around 75% said they commonly feel burned out by the whole experience.  The top three reasons are not finding "a good connection" . . . constantly feeling "disappointed by people" . . . and being rejected too many times.  (Forbes)
