The Big Lies People Tell In Online Dating

http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-biggest-lies-in-online-dating/

Well, its not all about money for me...I have my own... I always look at whats inside a persons heart...honesty and personality..and yes, I have dated guys without jobs...

tell ya one thing gold diggers will stay with the man with the money but cheat on them w/the man w/the 10 inches

Yep, I had one with money but there was no spark, you can't fake it, at least I can't, ya gotta have a balance. I guess it's all depends on what you are looking for

Good thing you have this colorful chart to tell you what you already assume about all women.

exactly, personally I dont find it surprising that in a POOL of online profiles where there is only basic info and a self description,,that tangible things like heigth, whether there are children, or what income someone has would make a difference in initial interest

but then those still have to BECOME relationships, which is a totally different statistic

So now your telling me I have to get one of those 300k+ jobs?


That's it, I'm never getting a date!

all I know is that I'm looking for somebody with money :

When someone tells you "it's not about the money".....it is all about the money!

You can instantly weed out all the women looking for money by telling them you write professionally.

Point well taken MsH! I read the article since Atlantis provided the link. And then went on to read a couple other articles.

What I found was a very 'fact oriented' take on everything. I also found my age wasn't even on any of the author's charts. Talk about depressing ..

but SEE! there's the difference. I won't LET it depress me. My own life speaks for itself, as should each one here.

I get plenty of mail, plenty of interest, plenty of dates (from awesome guys too =) and supposedly from their charts ........ I'm dead already

Unless your Stephen King.

I'm just lookin' for a hawt lil' sugar ma'ma'.

Yep, I also have my own money and like you have dated guys without jobs and one that was living in his mother's basement. So much for the money theory; eh. Also if we were looking for guys with money; you think we would be searching on a dating site that was free?

Seems like guys with low self esteem will use any excuse (mostly blaming it on women) to explain why they are single, when they should be looking at their own shltty attitude as the cause.

It may be all about the money but who is making it that way? Men who have no money assume they can't get dates because they aren't rich, and develop a chip on their shoulder so big no woman could remotely hope to knock it off long enough to have a decent relationship. Hmmm and then you wonder why women go for guys with money???

Just sayin.....

Maybe you could help us out with a color chart that shows the relationship between guys who make a decent living being happier and more confident... compared to those who don't make as much and are bitter about it.


Could it be that we like happier more confident guys?

I admit to the double standard(if thats what you call it),, I believe in the roles ADULTS have which are all the same

but in a family, I believe in PRIMARY roles set in individual strengths


my strength is nurturing, and although capable of working to support me and my children, am not interested in a male I will also have to support(financially speaking),,,,
