I signed up for an online dating service late last year. In browsing the pictures I noticed an all too common theme in which people had only 1 picture up, or they mislabeled themselves as “about average weight” when they should have said “a few extra pounds”. Now, being overweight is a serious problem, but it is nothing to be ashamed about. By lying about their weight or putting up a fuzzy photograph (taken at a weird angle) these people were trying to fool their potential dates into thinking they are someone they are not.
