Why do people have to lie on their dating profiles and waste my time?

Yeah, sometimes I think people didn't think that through.

Because all those dating sites are nothing but fakes and scammers now need to go back to the old ways

Because when you meet them in person you will be overwhelmed by their wit, charm and amazing personality

Happened to me. The dude first re assured me that he was normal 100 times. Then when I went to meet him... I'm standing there looking for him. All of a sudden some totally different guy aprroaches me. I'm like WTF who are you. Realized he sent me someone elses pic

Dawn in the age of con men

I was chatting with a woman, whose profile said she's 5'-10". She's 5'-2". She insisted when we met she was 5'-10". Not that height was a deal breaker, but yes, why lie when it's obvious?

I would rather downplay myself so when the see me in person they aren't dissapointed .

What kinda of lies?
