Online Dating News – Online dating liars: Why they do it (CNN)

March 6th, 2010

But if he’s lying, he’s probably a people pleaser — the type of person who’d try to put himself in the best light even if you’d found him offline first, according to a University of Kansas researcher. In professor Jeffrey Hall’s survey of 5,020 men and women who belonged to an undisclosed Internet dating site, most respondents indicated they wouldn’t lie. In the study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, respondents were asked to rate on a 10-point scale the likelihood that they would misrepresent their education, income, relationship goals, personal interests, weight and age to a potential date online. Hall wouldn’t name the dating site to which the respondents belonged, but he said that people interested in long-term relationships "tend to be the users that are attracted to this site" and that the site didn’t commission the study. Hall said it added to other research showing that — particularly for people looking for long-term relationships — the amount of lying is usually small, because people want an anticipated face-to-face meeting to go well. The study also was authored by professors Namkee Park of the University of Oklahoma, Hayeon Song of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and Michael Cody of the University of Southern California. read more
