5 Ways to Spot a Fake Dating Profile

Let’s face it – the profiles you see on Adult Sex Dating and Online Personals sites are sometimes a bit less than honest. So, how can you spot the fakes from the genuine? Here are five tips from the experts at on how to weed out the liars…

How many times have you been turned on by a too-good-to-be-true profile on an Internet dating site, only to find out that that’s exactly what it was? Men who claim to be 35-year-old successful stockbrokers turn out to be fifty-something bus drivers (nothing against bus drivers, but you get the point)? Or women who claim to be “fit and athletic” in their profile who could only be referring to Sumo wrestling when anything physical is involved?

Let’s face it – the profiles you see on Internet dating and personals sites are sometimes a bit less than honest. So, how can you spot the fakes from the genuine? Here are five tips from the experts at on Adult Sex Dating how to weed out the liars.

“My friends tell me I look like McDreamy Superstarington.” Uh-huh. And my Mom always told ME I’m talented enough to play shortstop for the New York Yankees. Anyone who says they look like so-and-so better be able to back it up with a picture that you KNOW is of them. Not their Hooter’s waitress roommate or male exotic dancer cousin. Trust, but verify.

“I make six figures, but my real passion is working with disabled kids.” In our experience, people that genuinely have an interest in people and causes beyond themselves don’t make a point of advertising it. They do it because giving something back to people less fortunate is simply rewarding to them, not because it’s something that helps them get dates.

(Men Only) “I’m not looking for a one-night stand.” Listen, guys are ALWAYS looking for a one-night stand – or at least won’t turn one down if it comes their way. Women will never understand this, which is why one-night stands happen in the first place. As the old saying goes, women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

(Women Only) “I don’t demand commitment.” Yes you do. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t have a profile on an Internet dating site – at least not one that was as blatantly false as this one. I’m not saying every woman on an online personals site is looking for marriage, but you can bet they aren’t looking for a friend.

“I love puppy dogs and ice cream…really…I do.” Remember that scene (or those scenes) in the movies Swingers where Trent tells Mike that girls want a dangerous guy, not the guy who’s offering “puppy dogs and ice cream?” A lot of guys still go by the old rule that the surest way to win a woman over is by being Mr. Nice Guy. Well let me tell you something. As with the man or woman who’s devoted to donating time and money to charity, the prospective date who goes out of his or her way to tell you what a nice guy or girl they are is hiding something. Trust me on this one.
