You need to find just one woman to be happy. Be honest or your "happiness" is a lie.

But yes being honest will work out best.


I don't remember what video or article I read or heard this but the person said when it comes to online dating you have to make a connection on a "superficial level".

So in other words exaggerate your lifestyle to appear more interesting.

As a result i got less woman to talk to me however i still meet woman overall
So in online dating is it better to be honest or just lie?
Sometimes i feel lying you get more results and woman talkin to you
"I am here to date and possibly form a relationship. If you are looking for friends, we're not a match."

Avoid saying things like "no friend zone crap." It's off-putting, even to women who are looking for the same things you are.

Be honest. Otherwise, if you find yourself spinning your wheels and wasting your time with people who were never on the same page to begin with, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Also, I hope your profile has better grammar and punctuation than what you've shown here.

There are many reasons many are on line looking for dates and perhaps this is main reason for some.

Yeah I think a few white lies to make yourself look better are fine. I would encourage it, especially for guys, since online dating is very competitive for them. Most people lie in online dating and in general. Not saying that makes it right, but competition is tough. Like if you are average say you are athletic, if you add 1-2 inches with your height, I think that's a common thing to do and if it will expand your options, why not. Now lying about your relationship status or if you have kids or not would not be a good idea, since that's a deal breaker for most. I'm not sure about income, perhaps bump it up $10,000-$20,000 if you have that option, nothing too extreme or obvious.

I think a guy can be honest but it won't lead to a message from someone he is attracted to so OP if you can deal with that then go for it.

I've seen some grandiose profiles. It's not hard to spot a fake. Especially, if you decide to meet IRL.

I was truthful about what I was looking for and offering. I never gave out my real name or location up front.
