I read with interest an item on my news fed, “These Are the Most Common Lies People Tell on Dating Apps. It was based on a study recently published in the Journal of #Communication. It said that people fib on dating apps like #Tinder and #Bumble, but out and out lies are rare. It went on to say that more than a third of the fibs are “self-presentation lies.” In other words, pretending to have the same interests. Less than 30% of lies were about the sender’s time (or lack thereof) to avoid a meeting. The next group of fibs were about timing – the ones that say they’ll be there sooner than later. As usual, I think they missed the more common lies.
Here is my list of frequent lies told on dating apps:
I’m a swimsuit model.
I’m an aspiring actor waiting on tables (or pumping gas) until I get a callback from my last audition.
I’m a writer working on the next Great American Novel.
I’m a former FBI (or CIA) agent.
I’m single.
I’m married but separated pending a divorce.
I ‘m 29 years old.
My parents live with me. I let them use the whole house while I just use the basement.
I’m not unemployed. I’m self-employed.
That is a recent picture of me.
Of course, once you lie on a dating app. It’s hard to deny it on the first date. Good luck.
