Hey You Guys!

If You Have Had Past Experience With Using Online Dating Sites and -------------

She Sent to You a Photo of Herself and It Looked Like:

However, When You Actually Met Her, She Really Looked Like:

Of course, the above shown comparison is a bit exaggerated, however not to such a degree that it is too overly far from reality. From what one can glean from reading and listening to the current news media, in online dating, submission of one's picture that is a number of years old and certainly not current seems to almost be the rule and not the exception. Of course, this phenomenon is not exclusively limited to the online dating arena; just take a look at the photos in any major newspaper's obit section and you will see that almost half of the pictures are of persons who are in their twenties and a reading of the corresponding write-up states that they were in the late 70s or 80s when they died a few days before. What this means is that the family members who are paying to have the obit notice placed in the newspaper do not have any professional photograph of the deceased other than one when he/she was quite young. In the situation of online dating, the motivation for submitting a deceptive picture of oneself is that of purposeful deception itself. Much of this has very recently be presented and discussed by a staff writer [Sara K. Goo] for the Washington Post quite recently, on 27 January 2007. This particular column, "Dinner, Movie and a Background Check for Online Daters," can be found in any city library that subscribes to this particular major newspaper. For those readers of this page, who do not reside in the general Washington, DC area, the well-respected Internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia, is quite explicit in a rather strong mention that online daters sometimes send "old and or misleading photos" of themselves; this can be found in the Wikipedia entry for "Online Dating Service." Along these same subject lines, an excellent web site discusses these same dangers inherent in online dating excursions; click on Here to view this particular web site. There are many hundreds of sites just like the one suggested in the just prior sentence, all strongly warning of the many dangers associated with online dating attempts. The only real guard to these many dangers are to rely upon some preventive measures, of which use of the Personnel Security Standards Psychological Questionnaire, better known simply as the PSSPQ. Information regarding availability and use of the PSSPQ can be found at by clicking on Here.
