I've never listed anything in my profile that wasn't true. Well, unless you count my one pic. In reality I'm not a black and white cartoon. I'm actually in color.

I don't color my hair anymore, and its back to a dark strawberry blonde. But that still falls under blonde.

I think I have photos of me both with and without glasses, though I prefer pictures without, and would prefer contacts all the time.

But other then that, that's me.

As far as the height thing... I don't understand that either. I met one guy who said he was 5'10, and he was all of 5'7. His drivers license said he was 5'10 too, so it may be a genuine, not knowing thing.

The biggest lie I have read is one that appears in the profiles of some women here at Mingle2.

In the description of body type, some women have selected "a few extra pounds" when in reality they have lots of extra pounds. Ten pounds overweight is a few extra pounds. Fifty or more pounds overweight is obese.

Ask for full body pictures if it's something you're worried about.

I'm not worried about it.
Some women are honest enough to give a more accurate description of themselves in their profiles. Weight isn't an issue with me. Honesty is.

You just made me realize that I have to check my hair color listed.. I used to be blonde highlighted, then blonde, now I'm brunette.. I update my pics every few months but never thought to check what I listed for hair color... slaphead I just checked, I had changed it to brown... :banana:

Everything I list in my profile is true, height, body type, etc. I do not list my income b/c that isn't anyone's business...

I was just doing some reading about the most common lies people tell in their online dating profiles. It seems we're all about two inches shorter than we say, make about 20% less money and 77% of people claming to be bi-sexual message only one gender. Also, the better a person looks in their pics, they older the pic is likely to be.




I have to admit. I'm not actually a philosopher.......smokin

Other than the fact that I do in fact have a head, and am not a child anymore, everything about my profile is true. Just updated it last night, and one thing a few minutes ago actually.

Don't have time for games from people and I wont play them with anybody.

As I think about it...I should lie more!

Alright ladies, raise your hands if you ever hooked up with some lying @ss who treated you bad.

(I got a feeling that a lot of hands are going up)

Now, if I can just work on treating you bad I got good odds of humpin 90% of ya.

Lets get this show on the road....

I am Morty. I am 5'3". I got a lil pecker and a Bentley. I am rich and hang out with famous people. I will sweep you off your feet and take you to San Tropez and we will live in a mansion where you will be served by my staff of monkey butlers.


(this could actually work!)

So, you'd rather have a better description than recent pictures that show what they look like? Interesting.

The few extra pounds lie is common among both men and women I'm sure. In fact, I should probably update my own profile sense I just checked my BMI and learned it's now 30 and that makes me obese.

IndnPrncs, you are way too smart to pass as a blonde.

Just joking. Not all blondes are dumb. I met a smart blonde once. She is on the "Endangered Species" list.

Plenty of women here have complained about men making inaccurate statements about their outward appearance.

I wanted to give an example of how a woman can also accidentally give an inaccurate statement about her own appearance.

Perhaps the problem is that Mingle2 doesn't give a person the option of selecting a more-accurate description of body type.
