If you have a good look at all the dating sites profile, you could not resist the impression that among their members there are the most beautiful inhabitants of our planet. Everyone there is tall, slim, young and rich. Why do we lie so much on the Internet?

We are accustomed to think that it is men who color up the reality on the Internet by adding a few inches of growth to their online profiles and a few hundreds dollars to their monthly income. But ladies are blameless in this respect. A British journalist, 34-year-old Ben Dirs, is single who spends a lot of time on dating sites looking for happiness. The fruit of his research is not, unfortunately, the relationship with the woman of his dreams, but a book entitled "Karma Chameleons: No-One Said the Search for Happiness Would Be Dignified." The author argues that men - just like women – are exposed to lies on the Internet which will be verified during the first date. For a year Ben Dirs met with various candidates for a perfect partner. Each subsequent date turned out to be a nightmare. Why? Because the information contained in the profiles did not match the reality. From the experience of the journalist, we learn that women most often hide their weight. Ben Dirs in an interview for The Sunday Times, summed up, after having visited hundreds of female online profiles, there were no fat ladies in the world, only those with rounded and voluptuous shapes. None of them smoked and each was against any kind of addictions All love physical exercise, sports as well as nature and idyllic rural atmosphere. When for the hundredth time he read the sentence "I feel great in the club dancing all night, but I also like to curl up on sofa with a glass of wine and a good movie on," he had really enough. What else annoyed him? Women's convictions that it was always the man who paid for dinner.

The U.S. Dating service - OkCupid (4.5 million unique users per day) – verified some of the information provided by users. It has turned out we lie like hell even though we realize the truth will come to light with the first meeting in reality. Height is the biggest problem for males. If you were to believe dating sites, it would appear that there were no short men in the world. Gentlemen claim to be at least 182 cm tall, while 175 is a real height. Americans have estimated that 5 inches is a statistical difference between male fantasy and reality. Men who reveal their earnings like to imagine that they earn substantial sums of money. They add at least 20 percent to the actual amount. Both men and women are notorious for uploading old photos where they looked their best. Internet profiles are full of young, slim, athletic and smiling people. My colleague from pozycjonowanie poznań agency is an active member on dating sites and you would not believe how much different a person she is judging from her online bio and knowing her in reality.

But you can not hide truth. We lie to fit in to the ideal formulated by media. Creating an online profile we get carried away. Fantasy rules. By adding 5 cm to your real height or deducting 10 kilograms off your actual weight, you immediately feel more attractive. We keep on forgetting that we will be a walking ideal only until the first date. You can not run away from who you really are and how you look. Stop wasting time and save yourself embarrassment. It is the time for truth and real you.
