Introduction
The Top 10 Things People Lie About on Online Dating Sites is a guide for men and women to help them in their pursuit of Love via Online Dating Sites.
Let’s face it, there are thousands of Online Dating Sites today and most people meet their partners, husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, friends with benefits and lovers on Online Dating Sites. The reality is most people are too busy working or just too shy to approach someone on the street to actually go out and hunt down a mate. Thanks to the Internet, you can now find love online or anything else you are looking for.
I myself have been an Online Dater on and off since 2002. I have been on quite a few sites, some are not even around anymore because they have been bought out by the bigger names. This was way back when Online Dating was starting to get big. I think it is a great way to meet someone but you have to be very cautious.
I met my x-Husband on Match.com in 2002. He was the first guy I saw on there that I was attracted to. I didn’t even bother looking around once I saw him. I contacted him first and needless to say he lied about almost everything and I was too naïve and ignored all of the warning signs. We dated for five years before we got married and he never really changed. He was a Cheater, Liar and a Manipulator who had a handful of women at his disposal at any given time that he used for different purposes. I was his ‘Trophy Girlfriend/Wife’ yet he had many other women around the entire time we were dating and married.
The whole disaster of the relationship was my fault because I allowed him to treat me that way and I kept forgiving him and taking him back. Yes, that’s what I said, the whole thing was my fault because as soon as he lied the first time I should have got out and I didn’t.
I have learned some hard lessons and the purpose of this book is to help my fellow Online Daters see and recognize the lies that people tell on their profiles and when dating online. I have learned that if someone lies about a little thing for example, where they live, they are hiding something and will lie about anything. It’s up to you to weed out the dishonest Online Daters so you have a chance at finding true love. Click the link below to direct you to Amazon.com
Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.
Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about Religion and Online Dating. For me this is a very important thing, probably the most important thing I look at when I am looking for a mate online. This is one of the first places I look for on their profiles. I am happy to announce that most every dating site, especially the large ones have this as a option to discolse on your profiles.
When you are looking for a mate, much like "Politics and Online Dating", it is a wise choice to choose someone of the same religion as yourself. For example, I am a Christian. I would not date an Athiest, Agnostic, Jewish or any other religiion than my own. I don't agree with the idea that when you meet someone, do not talk about politics or religion, just keep it light. Well, I strongly disagree with this. I believe though that it should not even get to that point in the first place where you find yourself across the table from a total stranger you met online without knowing first their political or religious preference. A person really needs to know this before going out otherwise it is a waste of time.
Let's face it, why would you want to be with an Athiest if you are a Christian or Catholic or Jew or any religion? Is it because you think you can change that person into believing what you do? If you even THINK this is a possability you are sadly mistaken. People do not change! What you see is what you get so why even go there? You will waste your time and energy on trying to change someone's opinion and it's a big mistake and I speak from experience.
Let's talk about a couple that go out never worrying about or taking into consideration the other person's political or religion beliefs. Let's say John and Julie go out and fall in love. John is an Athiest and Julie is a Catholic. Neither one of them has been married or has any kids. They fall in love and get married in Vegas.. after all, John won't get married in the Catholic Church and Julie is too much in love and doesn't really care so she lets it go even when she is confronted by her family. Her family really wants her to be married in the Catholic Chruch. This is usually the first of many conflicts to come with the families. Off to Vegas they go...
Julie gets pregnant and they have a baby. Julie really wants to have the baby christened in the Catholic Church but John highly disagrees and it's the beginning of the fights and arguments. Julie really wants to raise their baby Catholic and John is not having any part of that. Soon, it becomes more of a problem then the actual being in love. Obviously this is not only causing probelms with John and Julie, but with their family members as well. Julie cannot really expect John to change his opinion after all she married him knowing he is an Athiest and this creates much stress, turmoil, arguments and resentment in their marriage. Soon, they will divorce but the battle will still continue until the baby is an adult and throughout the life of the child because the child will be torn in which direction to go.
This is simply unfair to do to any child and should be avoided at any price. It takes more than just LOVE to make any relationship work. You will need to have the same political and religion as your mate in order to have a successful partnership.
Trust me on this one. The divorce rate for couples who do not have the same beliefs are extremely high. Couples with the same beliefs have a much better chance at staying married.

Hello Readers, Linda here. Today I want to talk about Politics and Online Dating. I think this is a very important point to make. Not sure about most people buy I myself think it is a deal breaker to date someone who is the opposite political party than myself. First off, you won't even think the same as the other person. I tried to date someone of the opposite political party and found we didn't have hardly anything in common at all in fact we argued most of the time we were together.
Please note that I have a lot of friends that are the opposite political party but it's not the same as dating someone or even thinking about spending the rest of my life with someone who thinks opposite of myself.
These days politics play an important role in all our lives whether you want to believe it or not so it's important to be with someone of the same party. Just sayin..

My Story – Inspiration
I dedicate this site to my ex-husband whom if it were not for him and my really bad experience I would not have felt inspired to build this site to help other "online dating" people looking for love.
I met my now ex husband on Match.com. I found out later after dating him for months that he was on multiple dating sites and dating a lot of other women at the same time we were supposed to be monogamous.
If there was a site like this I would have used it to check out his history before I started dating him. After being "stupid" and "naïve" and catching him numerous times cheating on me, I still managed to marry him five years later. After being married for almost five years we separated. After being separated for just one day, I found out he had been transferring monies from our joint checking and savings accounts into his personal business account without my knowledge and deceived me. It wasn't that soon after I discovered he inquired with an old girlfriend to put a 'hit' on my daughter and I. I reported him to the police department and after a lengthy investigation, the DA decided there was not enough evidence to prosecute him. Still to this day, I see him on Match.com and it scares me to death what he is capable of doing to other women. After being left penniless and sitting in my apartment day after day I started to reflect on my life with him and I decided to build this site in order to educate people in the online dating site world.
Please be careful there are millions of people out there on dating sites and we need to inform one another about our experiences good or bad.
Thank you and please send me feedback on the use of this site in your dating world.
Good luck!

Dear John
Dear John,
Thank you for contacting me on POF. I thought you were extremely handsome and very quick witted which I appreciated so much that I drove to your work for our first meet and greet. You told me you were the Manager so I thought that was an acceptable position to have at such a swanky night spot.
When I got there you greeted me outside but only one thing, I am 5’6 and with my 4 inch heels that made me a clear 5’10. You said in your bio that you were 5’11. (Ladies, when a guy says he is under 6 foot it usually means they are not being truthful about their height). I have only met one guy who was actually 5’11. Dear John when you hugged me you were shorter than me….. What’s up with that???
Anyway, that didn’t throw me off (well maybe a little) I should know better my taste is for taller men anyway so my bad…
Dear John you took me to the bar and found me a place to sit. Not sure what it was with you or me but I tried to make a good impression besides I thought you were extremely good looking and very personable but ZERO. No sparks on either side… By the way the REAL manager came by several times… LOL
I stayed an hour plenty of time for you to ask me out again or even ask me for a drink after your shift but nothing so, after an hour I told you I was leaving and you walked me to my car and paid for my valet which was extremely nice. On my way home I sent you a text thanking you for being a gentleman and you politely said I was welcome. It is now the next day and I have not heard anything from you so I guess it wasn’t a love match… Time to go fishing….
Lesson learned? It’s not always going to be a match even if you think it might be. Don’t go out of your way too much but always be ready to take a chance because you never know….
