Anyone who has ever attempted to brave the daunting world of online dating knows that what you see is not always what you get. The Internet has completely changed the dating scene, partially because it makes deception so incredibly easy.

Some people are well aware that if they really want to meet someone for a meaningful relationship, they might as well lay their cards on the table because the truth will come out sooner or later.

Some people however, apparently are not able to think that far ahead. Or they fool themselves into thinking that once their potential suitor gets to know them, they will overlook all of the lies they told. "Not bloody likely," as the English would say.
