We've all done it at one time or another, or will do it sometime in
the future. Regardless of when you do it, just remember you will get
caught eventually and when you do, you cannot bury your head in the
sand. Too bad there are not strict policies, punishable by law in
association with the internet wherein something could be written and
implemented along the lines of "Truth in Online Dating". Who am I
kidding, people have lied from the beginning of time and will continue
to do so until Hell freezes over and even when caught some will
continue to do so at our expense. Bastards!
Remember the old video rental mantra "Be Kind, Rewind"? Some of you
may be too young to remember that but the sentiment still applies. For
this subject, lets use, oh I don't know, how about "You Lie, You Die",
hmmmmm, maybe not, too blatant. Oh wait, I know, "Honesty Accepted,
Deception Denied". Anyway, the point here is to be honest in all you
say and do. Have you ever stretched the truth or told an out and out
blatant lie? Tell me how many more lies did you have to tell to cover
your ass from the original lie? Life is too short to waste all your
time and energy covering your ass. Do it right and do it honestly the
first time.
So, you are asking yourself, what is this crazy woman's point? OK, OK,
the point is, when you are creating a profile, be it just for your
screen name or for an "Online Dating Site" be honest. Describe
yourself as you see yourself, if you are 5'5" don't list that you are
5'10", if you weigh 210 don't list your weight as 135. Be real, have
you ever spent endless hours talking to someone and envisioned what
they looked like based on the picture and physical description posted
on their profile only to find the picture is 10 yrs old, they have
gained 50 pounds and are 6 inches shorter than what they indicated. It
has happend to me, and I was pissed, aggravated and disappointed. And,
yes, I have
