So today we're going to be looking at online dating environments. And we'll be examining some of the downsides, which may not be reported in all the advertising hype we generally hear from website creators. First, a full 66 percent of Internet users consider dating sites dangerous. They are wary of information displays such as yearly income. Why? Because they set the stage for fraud and attract criminals who profess their undying love not to obtain the key to your heart, but rather to your safety deposit box. Second, deceptive practices on Internet dating sites are commonplace. People submit outdated photos and lie about everything from their age to their marital status. For example, a recent study revealed that 30 percent of those who said they were single were, in actuality, married. In other research, people had their heights and weights measured in a lab. And then these figures were checked against what they wrote in their online profiles. The average person usually gained an inch and lost five pounds. And the shorter and heavier a person was, the bigger were their lies. And aside from wanting to make a good impression, reasons for lying are often practical. For instance, men with incomes over $250,000 get 150 percent more replies than those who make under $50,000. Third, propaganda from various dating websites suggest a client base of 50 million and highly satisfied customers. However, a private research firm found that only 16 million people had visited an online dating site and that their experiences were anything but satisfactory. For example, in a survey of over 2000 people, only 25 percent reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the process. And while sites like eHarmony may claim responsibility for countless marriages, independent reports show that upon receiving a compatible match from the company, there is only a one in 500 chance that you will marry the person.
