Julia came to me for a sessions as she was sick and tired of being cheated by men.She had also enough of watching the profiles on dating websites full of lies.
During the therapy we were working over her belief system and expectations towards men and the nice progress was made by her (she realized she always expected to be cheated by men anyway).
I mentioned Julia’s case to show the list of most common lies we can find in virtual world and dating portals:
1, False Photo. More people than you might think post photos in their internet dating profiles that are not of them at all. But a lot of others post photos that are 5 or 10 (or even 15!) years old, and don't depict them as they really are.
2.Money. This is one of the common things that men like about on their online profiles. Thinking that the main focus of many women is money, they look to impress by implying or outright lying that they have more than they do.
3.Appearance. For those that don't have pictures posted on their profile, one of the biggest lies will be about their general appearance. These people will describe themselves as more attractive than they are, or that their breasts are bigger or bodies are buffer than in reality. It happens all the time.
4.Marital/Relationship Status. This is the most dangerous lie in Internet dating... and, unfortunately, one of the more common. People who are looking to cheat on their spouse or partner, or even just testing out whether or not they can, may lie about having a spouse at all. Which makes it doubly important to watch for warning signs that the person you're speaking to is actually married.
5.Possessions. Again, some people are really looking to impress, and think that other singles out there are more materialistic than they actually are. If you're chatting with somebody who goes on and on about the things he or she (but it's usually a he) owns, there's a good chance they're just putting you on.
6.Occupation. This is often wrapped up with the money lie; and one that usually comes from men. Some jobs just sound more impressive than others, and more lucrative.
7.Age. When they get older, plenty of people like to shave a few years off of their age. But while it's okay to avoid giving your actual birth date on your dating profile it's not okay to say you're 5 years younger than you are.
8.Height. This is another one that you'll generally get from men, though women lie about it, too. Men generally describe themselves as taller than they are-- especially when talking to a tall woman
9.Weight. This is the one thing that more people lie about than anything. This is one, I'm sure, that lots of us are guilty of.
