How honest would you be?

If you were placing a personal ad. on the net would you be totally upfront about yourself? Which areas do you think are more important in this sense? People seem to be liberal with the truth about height, age and weight.

Of course I would be honest (I would never use an online dating service to begin with). Why would you not be honest? Aren't you on the website to find a date or a mate? SO what you think they will not notice that you are not as tall as you said or not as skinny as you said? Sounds silly to me.

Although I have never thought using online dating sites but it pays to be honest. Would consider to upload a current photo and giving correct information. After all one will be rejected if at all he/she gave wrong information on the profile.

My friend joined a site and found many of the men were less than truthful. I don't think anyone would say they were 6'2" if they were way off, but there seems to be plenty who will bend the truth. I agree with you though, there's no point in using an out of date picture or lying about things.

What's the point of placing a personal ad if you're not going to be honest? Lying just invites problems later on and defeats the intent.

I'd never do a personal ad, to be honest. It's just not my style. However, if I were going to, I'd have to be honest. As someone said, what's the point otherwise?

Leaving alone the height and the weight, age is what seems to be held so much in secret by most people. It is useless to do that for if in any case your viewers get the information and do not believe in it then they are likely not to believe the rest of your information. It is important as always to be honest about yourself ad what you offer. The pictures are also what are shamed about so much. People post pictures which do not represent the actual them.

At least a great percentage of people aren't honest of who they are and if they do so, not everything they will say the way it is! Nobody would want his/her with weaknesses to be let in public no matter what and I wonder why then we wouldn't always work for what we expect of ourselves sometimes! We do adore some characters and personalities or look we won't possess. I think it's good to take into hands and accept what's meant to be us in a unique way and be ourselves!

Many people tend to use false features to make their ads smart, which is not good. Try to be honest to avoid inconveniences.

There is no point in lying about who you are, let’s see you are on online dating to look for a mate and then you have to lie about who you are. The truth is bound to be known sooner or later. You should learn to appreciate who you are, remember we are all unique and whoever who is planning to hook you up should appreciate you the way you are.
