Majority of Users of Online Dating Sites are Not Truthful About Vital Information
Social scientists who have studied data collected by matchmaking sites in recent years found that women hit their dating prime at only 21; Short, poor men might as well delete their Match.com accounts; and half of cyberdaters are lying about their weight.
And they have concluded that people are way harsher online than they are in real life.
For every inch a man is under 5-foot-10, he should make $35,000 to $40,000 more a year to be seen as equally "attractive" as his taller counterpart, says Dan Ariely, author of 'The Upside of Irrationality'.
With the help of an unnamed popular dating site, Ariely polled 28,000 online daters to reach that disturbing conclusion.
Women are more likely to rate men as "below average looking."
Men often choose a mate based on body mass index and age.
But the sexes have one thing in common-they both lie.
Men are on average 2 inches shorter than they say in their profiles, while women are an inch shorter.
About 50 percent of daters fib about their weight.
Almost everyone exaggerates their income by 20 percent, according to trends tracked by online dating service OKCupid and shared with The Post.
Racial preferences vary by race and gender, according to Ariely's research.
