Some people get really serious about those kinds of sites so they try to reveal as much personal information they can. I would not recommend putting all your information at once, because then when you finally talk to that person or chat with them, then the mysteriousness is no longer there and you will have nothing to talk about. If you post pictures then use a recent one so that the person knows exactly what  he or she looks like. Dont post a picture that makes you look the best, cuz you want them to think you would be a lot prettier in person. \n\nSome people have really healthy and successful relationships when they meet online. I think its because they get to find about each other thoroughly before meeting since usually when you first meet in the offline world, its all physical. Online is intimate and you get emotionally attached rather than physically getting attached. If you think it will fit in with your life better, then go for it =)

There might be different reasons. One is that they might think you won't find out about those little things, thus missing the point of the importance of being honest. Another is that they are afraid of ruining their image before their girlfriends, which shows immaturity.\n\nThe list goes on and on, but you better figure it out from personal experience.

everything they disclose is all illusional,nothing is real, its all virtual and you are just engaging in a virtual relationship,so exercise extreme caution at all times............sorry i don't want to sound like a lecturer but its a fundamental fact.There's no way you can verify their info. so keep a distance ,act virtual yrself just like them,thats the rule out there buddy!Its human nature,no one would truly like to disclose their character flaws,if it hardly happens in real life,how the heck can you expect it to happen virtaully?!!!!............but people hardly are complete without some kind of a character flaw,don't you think?

Men generally lie to protect their ego, and just to show that they are never wrong. but then the question is quiet general, so really can't say that its only men that lie, girls also lie to protect their pride and to avoid any embarracing 'in your face' situations

I think that guys feel that they have to lie because they dont feel to comfortable about themselves and they want to impress the girl. It's like if their with their friends and they want to make a cool impression without changing the guy stereotype which is to a bunch of women that all men are dogs which is'nt true. Yes some guys are ass holes but I mean a woman can be a bitch. It's like the stereotype for women that their all manipulative which is also not true. Their not all after your money. Hell cant a woman just like you. But.. back to the origional thing why guys lie; guys seem to lie more and more to impress they dont want to let the girl down and sure lying isnt the best way to make a good impression and I'm not even going to try and back that up but hey were not all perfect. If you feel like the guys lying to you confront him, I know it's not always the easy thing to do but you want someone nice and it's not "nice" to lie so their you have it. If he admits to lying the best thing to do is give a second chance. If he does it again you have every right to kick his but right out that door just tell him "Watch your step on the way out of my life." and leave him.

Because they think it makes them more manly and more desirable. If they would understand that has nothing to do with what kind of man they are, the world would be a better place. Plus, men are just born to lie!

Perverts are there everywhere - it is just that most of them have access to the internet. They can satisfy themselves with minimum risk of getting caught or identified.

Yes. I think we all put on a face for people we are interested in. We tell them all the great things about us and inflate some of the good things about us. Men tell women, they are lawyers, and they are really paralegals. Same circle of lies happens all the time. I think little white lies are fine, like income and inflating your job title. But you shouldnt lie about kids, prison records or anything that will potentially blow up in your face and make you seem like a liar.

Here's an idea, why not meet someone in the real world.\nIt's a lot harder to lie about age, sex, etc.... in person.

becasue its easier to lie than to tell the truth, they want to cover up the things they don't like about themselves and when they lie they can make the world better than it really is.  when they lie they are making the world like they wish it was. they dont like it when you get emotional upset so they lie to keep you emotionally sensible.   whould you still like him even if he told you the truth,  he wants and needs you to be nice so he lies.  it takes a man to tell the truth about he hard issues in his life most men dont get there until about 50.  do you always tell teh truth?  why not

It seems that usually unless your very lucky the answer is no. Often times people who turn to online dating sites are desperate and will go with anyone not a "real match". Also it is very easy to lie about yourself online so even if someone isnt desperate you may not be getting the real information about your possible match.

It is in the details.  Guys lie in color.  They give you details you didn't ask for, want or are not part of the conversation.  If you pay attention they will slip up in some manner.  They always do and the truth comes out.  Be patient and you will find out soon enough.

When chatting with someone online you have no idea who they are. You just have to be careful.\n\nK
