Online dating "Little White Lies"
Anywhere from 50% to 80% of people who use online dating lie about themselves on their profile. Women tend to lie about their age, while 40% of men have admitted to lying about their jobs. People also tend to lie about height, weight and income.

"22% of People Have Asked Someone to Help With Their Profile"
Your profile is the first thing singles will see on a dating site, and to be honest, most of them will only take a few seconds to read it and determine if you’re right for them or not. That puts a lot of pressure on people to make their profiles perfect, especially those who are trying online dating for the first time and aren’t the best writers. So it’s understandable that almost one-fourth of online daters have asked someone to give them a hand with this part of the process such as choosing the best photos or tweaking some of the language.
