Internet allows people to fudge the truth

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/13/fashion/online-dating-as-scientific-research.html?scp=1&sq=love+and+lies&st=nyt


You know those dating websites that provide you with the supposed perfect match? Did you realize that online dating has been increasing? I find it highly amusing that they say online dating has proved wrong that opposites don't attract and in fact that they pair you up with some similar to you. They also proved that honesty is not the best policy. This made me laugh so hard for some reason that people fudge the smallest details to make them look better. This is actually a well known fact on Face book that sometimes people put details that are lies that seem a little to good. From my experience some even com out to be nothing they said they were. It's a messed up world we live in when people hide behind computer screens.

i agree and i think its kind of sad that people are trying to be someone they are not like you said "hiding behind computer screens" or stretching the truth or even lies.
i think that people should always be themselves because that just who they are and thats what makes them special and one of a kind person.

- I agree with both you and Cecilia. That people wont tell the truth on any dating website. Because truthfully, all the the truth is better, making your self seem better or look better gets you more attention, then being a tad more truthful. I believe it is funny that people even turst these dating websites and put all their infor and money into "finding the correct match". Good topic. = ] .

i deffinatly agree with all three of you. the dating website scandal is something that is very broad and very interesting to comment on. people most deff. lie on websites all over not just dating because our first insticnct is to appeal to everyone's interest and look as if were the best in what we do and etc. society and the people in it is fucked up man but thats what makes life. what can you do ?
