Yahoo! Personals, MSN Personals, AOL Personals, Match.com, eHarmony.com and AmericanSingles.com are all getting jammed up with
fake personal ads. This problem is getting out of control on the major sites because they fail to invest in technology and
humans to review online personal ads before they are posted.
Why do people post fake online personal ads you ask? Some of the reasons might surprise you. Some of the focus groups of singles who have used the major online dating sites like Yahoo! Personals and Match.com actually suggest that up-to two-thirds of their profiles are misleading. “I found on Yahoo! Personals that a third of the men who contacted me actually ended up being married while another third of the members lived with their girlfriend or had been in a relationship for the past year.” Said Allison, who is 27 and lives in California. Dina from Omaha wrote us this, “The problem isn’t just in California, it amazing me at the number of cheaters who are online. I find over 50% of the men I’ve met on Yahoo Personals are in a committed relationship and simply bored. I have decided, if a man won’t cook for me, at his home, on the 5th date – I move on.” Sure the web is a perfect place for people to lie their ass off. Fake identities have been around for ever and are practically as old as the internet itself. However, we're still amused by these Yahoo! profiles featuring photos lifted from professional and amateur porn star sites. Maybe it's because we continue to marvel how some people have enough gumption to pass off pictures of some of the most well-known web models as their own, or that others are gullible enough to believe they're real. Hell maybe the whole imposter thing is a sort of fetish in and of itself? I guess on some level we just really want to believe that Tiffany Teen is looking to hook up with us too. With all of the drama on TV today about board housewives and younger women hooking up with sugar daddies, it’s no wonder the fantasy gets played out online. There is another reason for these 100% fake personal ads of gorgeous, barely legal bombshells on Yahoo! Personals, Match.com and AmericanSingles.com They placed their by guys!, That’s right, they're trolling for pictures of real women. The clue is, they all say were “lesbian” or “women seeking women”. They use these pictures because (a) they are cute and (b) when it comes time to exchange more pictures (to prove that they are real), they can send more from the girls' websites. Many of the girls' websites have enough variety in them that the fakers can probably even do requests, such as “do you want me to take a picture in my red thong or naked by the swimming pool?” Why? Because they want to get the women on the other end of the email exchange to send them their amateur photos. For the fake imposter, getting an original amateur photo is as good as a score. Finally, the last reason seems to be prostitution. They have headlines such as “Awesome fitness diva looking for fun” and “Young female willing to learn”. Others mention things like “Hard body looking for generous companion”. Because Match.com, Yahoo! Personals and AmericanSingles.com don’t really police their profiles you find a lot of these fake personal ads. Some sites, like MyCountryMatch.com do a much better job of keeping the community of members on the up and up. It not to say they don’t have their share of liars online, but Yahoo! Personals and Match.com don’t make it as difficult for the fake imposters as MyCountryMatch.com.
