Hello Ladies!
Miss Jones has been investigating!!
A survey has revealed the most popular lies told by both men
and women when signing up for online dating.
Could you find love on Facebook or Twitter rather than an
online dating website?
Alongside the launch of the brand new series of MTV’s show
Catfish, filled with not-so-happy-ever-after tales of online dating nightmares,
a survey has revealed that a whopping 58% of online daters have lied about
themselves to impress potential love interests.
The results showed that of the 58% who confessed to telling
fibs to bag themselves a date, 64% of those were blokes, with the most popular
lie being with regards to their job, including their salary, position and job
description.
So maybe have a think about whether you’d still want to grab
a drink with that CEO if he was a bin man.
The next most popular lie told by men was to do with their
age, rather shockingly followed by their marital status! Some guys confessed to
hiding the fact they were already in a relationship, and some did not admit
that they were divorced from a previous marriage.
14% of the men who admitted to lying had even failed to tell
the truth about their kids, often deciding to not admit that they had any
children at all.
These things should come with a lie detector test hooked up
to your inbox.
The top 5 lies men tell when it comes to online dating are:
1. Employment
(e.g. status, job description, responsibilities, salary) - (48%)
2. Age (e.g.
stating a younger age, using a misleading image from years before)– (41%)
3. Marital
status (e.g. being in a relationship already/hiding divorced)- (27%)
4. Hobbies and
Interests (e.g. making themselves seem more interesting)-(23%)
5. Kids (e.g.
disclosing if they have children, how many)-(14%)
The top 5 lies women tell when it comes to online dating

3. Hobbies and
Interests (making themselves seen more interesting)-(27%)

What do you make of these results? Have you ever lied whilst
online dating?
