Studies Show that Online Daters Tend to Exaggerate in Their Profiles

Recently, we at Kelleher & Associates came across a fascinating study compiled by OKCupid, a popular dating website, that demonstrates just how often online daters tend to embellish on their dating profiles in efforts to score more dates. Here are a few of our favorite survey findings:






The study neglected to cover one of online dating’s biggest dangers: married online daters pretending to be single. As matchmaker, one of our most important duties is to carefully screen each potential match before presenting to the client. At Kelleher & Associates, we interview everyone in our matchmaking network, and verify their basic identity and marital status.

This is a major advantage matchmaking can offer over online dating, where daters are pretty much on their own to decide whether or not other users are trustworthy. Don’t leave something as important as finding a life partner to chance; invest in help from the professional matchmakers at Kelleher & Associates.
