Representation or Re-invention On Line

If you've attempted the world of "On Line" dating sites, you've had the opportunity to fill out their questionnaires. This is the time to represent oneself, however unfortunately some people see this as the time to re-invent themselves!!

I've run into those people (okay men... but I've heard women do it too...) that want to be younger, taller, thinner, richer, funnier and even more 'divorced' than they actually are! Hmmmm, guess what, we're going to figure it out! I'm 6ft. tall, if you say you're 5' 10" and you're really 5' 8".... I'll probably notice... especially when I go to look into your eyes and see over the top of your head instead!

Age, I've heard... but I don't 'feel' 60. Yes, well honey, you are not going to be 51 on your next birthday, so fess up! I am currently 49, but know that so many women lie about their age, that I often feel inclined to say I'm 50 just because 49 looks like a lie!

Size, shape, appearance.... Boy this is a hard one... There are those of us who are hard on ourselves so we say "average" when maybe we are 'slender'. And yet there are those who want to be 'average' when they have a few extra pounds... believe me... your date will probably figure it out! I do have a soft spot for the mid life guys who put down 'athletic' when they are so, so definitely 'average' after all... they were 'athletic' once... and this is just a hard thing to let go of...

My favorite is when the out and out 'liars' make sure we all know, that they are looking for an HONEST relationship...
