Online dating will always be broken, but it might be OK

Online Profiles are not &quot;Broken&quot; as much as they are &quot;embellished&quot;. By that, I mean that a big majority of users -- I would say as much as 95% amongst guys and 40% amongst girls -- embellish their profile in areas where they internally feel they are lacking &#x2F; inadequate.<p>I have met 100s of guys from plentyoffish.com match.com and okcupid.com (before match.com acquihired them) and can say that most guys lie about their height, as well as their jobs. It&#x27;s annoying for someone really attractive and intelligent like me because it wastes so much time!
