I did it for a whileand I discovered people lie about the oddest things. The first girl I contacted had put a phony picture on the site, and was about a hundred pounds heavier than her profile had stated. What was she thinking?!? I mean one can exaggerate about ones hobbies or interests somewhat and thats not a huge problem but being a completely different person just isn't going to fly! I met her at my favorite pub and when my usual bartender saw my situation (he had been informed of the meeting before hand) he quietly walked over and handed me a large straight Scotch on the house. I never confronted her about it, I just got through the date and vowed never to do internet dating again. Well, a year and a half later I was a little bored at work and thought what the hell, I'll put a profile on Match.com and see what happens. In about a week I got an e-mail from a girl that was interested. She seemed nice and we met. Long story short, we'll be married in September. So like much of life its a crap shoot. Some days are diamonds, some days you get stoned!
