My sister is going though the online dating scene right now. She said it hasn’t been too successful. I told her that her profile was too honest. Was that bad advice?
Slight’ exageration is one thing, but some of the “Whoppers” that I’ve seen make you wonder if they ever actually expected to meet these guys in person, or were just planning to ‘string them along’ online for as long as they could.
The worst one I ever ran into person somehow never got around to mentioning her various ‘Medical Conditions’ that clearly would have interfered with “Long hikes in the woods, Beach strolls, and Rock climbing” as her favorite activities since she had been in a Wheelchair for over a Decade!
The Chair might not have been a problem if it had been mentioned from the start, but the Lying was a sure ’Show-Stopper!"

Depends on their Credit Score! Gotta be able to get a Mortgage on that “Barbie Dream House” in the ’burbs!

@Leo…but doesn’t the “fictional” profile increase the odds? Perhaps there has to be a good balance between fiction and fact.

Attractive AND straight? Well at least I’m straight.
