Why Do Men Lie To Women Online?
Simple, men lie to women online because they are hot.
The hotter the girl, the more likely a guy will lie to women online to get her attention.
Do You Lie To Women Online
I can admit I did.
Yes, I lied to impress hot women online when I started online dating
I thought I had to be “agreeable” to the hottest women in order to appeal to what they were looking for.
If she liked traveling…I suddenly loved to travel.
If she enjoyed going to music festivals, I would too.
If she liked watching Grey’s Anatomy….ok, I would never say that but you get the point. I compromised who I was when emailing the hottest women on dating sites.
And studies show, I am not alone when it comes to lying to women on dating sites.
To What Extent Do Men Lie To Women Online?
One study measured the effects of how far a man would lie when presented with an attractive photo of a woman.
In the first part of the study men would fill questionnaires and surveys that measured what they were seeking, personality traits, and other characteristics for example.
In the second part they were told they might be able to date a volunteer in the study.
The men were given two packets which represented each of the volunteers separately; one packet had an attractive woman and the other an unattractive woman.
The packets also had a description of each of the females interests, personality tests, and expectations of the men they would date.
So what do you think happened?
Were the men honest about who they were?
NO.
The men lied of course.
The men in the study would align their profiles and values to be more similar to the ideal date of the hotter woman than to the less attractive one.
Men would show aspects of their personality to be closer to the ideal of the hotter woman compared to the less attractive woman.
Men would present themselves as independent, active, confident, when the woman described her ideal date as having those attributes.
Other men would describe themselves as gentle, kind, and emotional when the woman described those being the ideal traits of her potential partner.
What is more shocking is that men in the study actually admitted to modifying their self-presentation to the more attractive prospective date than to the less attractive date.
So it wasn’t some subconscious thing men did.
The men knowingly lied.
Go figure!
Would You Lie To Meet a Gorgeous Woman?
Study after study shows the more attractive the woman, the more willing men will be to use deception.
Do you lie on your profile about your height or income?
Do you act more sincere in e-mails?
Do you say you are looking for commitment when in reality you don’t?
Do you e-mail a beautiful woman and tell her how much you have in common when in reality there is very little in common between you two?
I admit it…I did this. Guilty as charged. And I know I’m not alone.
Like me, you may suddenly become “adventurous” because the woman’s profile you are looking at says she likes “adventurous men”. You might be a homebody who suddenly likes dive bars because she does.
