While men exaggerate their professions and income, women fib about their age and body type. Why do so many singles tell little white lies on their online dating profiles? Insecurity? Embarrassment? Who knows?! But one website wants to blast these embellishers so singles can stop wasting time with frauds.

LiarLiarList.com welcomes members to post reviews of online daters. Just type their screen name, which dating site you encountered them on, then include their gender and age, and you can start dishing about all the dishonesty and disception!

Writer and marketer Beth Greenfield birthed this internet dating watchdog out of her own disappointing dating experiences. She believes this site will transform the online dating landscape, saying, "I think people will check their own reviews to see if somebody called them out and then fix the most egregious misrepresentations, like photos that are 15 years old or statistics that are blatantly untrue. We also want to hear about all those who were totally honest."

While this sounds like a practical application, what happens when the scorned and rejected singles seek revenge by lying about supposed liars? How can we believe the posted reviews are really the truth? Maybe we can "Ask Dr. Truth", another feature of the site where a relationship psychologist "tells all"!

Statistics show that online dating works. Nearly 40% of Americans are using internet dating services, but many are still concerned over safety. The main worry is that the handsome hunk or beautiful babe you're emailing is not accurately portrayed in their profile information or photos. A few simple tips will help you avoid disappointing disasters.  

Be Prepared

Surveys have found that a large percentage of singles do tell little while lies on their profiles. Men often inflate figures regarding height and income, while ladies often subtract a few digits from weight and age. Knowing these facts up front will help you be more prepared when meeting in person.

Look at Photos Closely

One-third of online daters won't even look at a profile if it doesn't include at least one photo. When you are scoping out the sexy shots, be sure to scrutinize them. You should be able to tell from the quality if the photos are recent. Plus, any that are taken too far away or costumed in hats and sunglasses should cause suspicion.  

Trust Your Gut

The best piece of advice to avoid the fakes and phonies is to trust your instincts. You should be able to tell after continual communication if the person is acting strangely. Watch out for the common warning signs like requesting money or professing love right away.

Only 2% of men and 9% of women find relationships from a barstool, so enjoy your cocktail at your computer instead and search for your cyber soul mate!
