subject: Internet Dating Tips: Misrepresentation [print this page] We would all like to believe that this is a perfect world and no one ever lies to us. However, that is not the case. Anyone who has gone on the internet to try their hand at dating online can tell you that people misrepresent themselves all the time. Sadly, there isn't a trustworthy online dating guide that will direct you to a site where there is a guarantee that people have not lied on their application. It's a hazard of internet dating.
You follow all the step - you look over the profile and adhere to the online dating advice you read in the dating e-book. You look over his personal information because you want a man at least 6' since you are 5'8". You notice that he claims a stature of 6'4" so you get excited as this sounds pretty darn near perfect to you! So, you show up, wearing heels, expecting to find a man who is a good 6 inches taller than you, and yet, there you are, looking down at this stranger for the first time from your new stature of 5'11 to his "old" one of 5'10".
When a man begins to dwell on certain aspects of your life, such as "do you truly work out four times a week?" you might want to ask a few more questions. To be fair, at times men are simply impressed when they meet a woman who works out. These same men can't wait to get in the gym so they can enjoy a workout together. However, more times than not, this is not the case. There is a very good chance that the man on the phone is seriously wondering if this is going to be a deal-breaker! He's wondering if he should just confess now that he hasn't been inside a gym since he graduated. A part of him frantically wants to call the whole thing off.
Now, there you are - finally getting around to your first internet date and you arrive at the agreed upon place expecting to find someone resembling Will Smith but instead you find someone resembling Fat Albert. What should you do? Well, I present you with the following online dating advice: you can either continue to talk to him as if nothing is wrong to see where the evening takes you since you already know you enjoy his company; or you can immediately call him out on his obvious deception and remove the white elephant before you go proceed.
Another thing to do is to make it a habit to question any picture that is from a strange angle and/or any one with only one picture on his profile especially if it appears to be of someone younger than his profile would imply. There are men who want to hide those wrinkles until they lure you in. Numerous women have declared that the situation they found themselves in most while internet dating was where the men were ten to fifteen years older than their pictures!
