    NO!!!

    One thing is to be careful and protect your identity as a safety measure... but to lie about important things, not worth it...

    Forget it. I met my fiance online five years ago, and one of the things that I liked about him was that he was totally honest about the fact that he has a child. Little white lies are one thing, but whether or not he has children is going to affect you personally if you get into a relationship.

    No.

    Who wants to get into a relationship with someone that started lying from the start?

    This. I met my wife through one of the sites. Thus, I have a bit of experience with them and lying is an absolute deal killer IMHO.

    No.

    Some people lie, some don't. Most stretch the truth, but you have to know where it's okay to do that and where it's not. On a dating site, I don't think it's ever okay to lie about having kids since that's definitely something that people filter on for very specific reasons. As long as you have a profession, lying about your profession is a strange thing, it really doesn't get you anywhere, kwim?

    Those are blatant lies. IT and Chef are not interchangeable. That's like saying I'm a gyno just because I've looked at and touched vaginas.

    Hell no.

    I have been trying out a dating site and I most certainly don't lie. On liers lie.

    We all need little white lies from time to time to make life easier for everyone but the lies you've been told are BIG.

    Why are they hiding the fact they have children? What is their motivation for something like that? I'd hazard a guess that they'll stick around for approximately 1 night (if that)...just long enough to show you an average time and then go back to their other life.

    Run, don't look back and find someone new! Unless you do want a short-lived, average fling that is?!!

    EDIT: I speak from experience, trust me on this!

    NO... Run!!! Relationships should be based on trust... Not an option to begin with a lie. Be very careful out there..
    With the on line dating scene, I've been there, done that, got the tshirt for it..Lots of disappointment but I did make a couple of great friendships as well.. Just be very aware... Also, some big time scammers that are quite poetic and seem too good to be true.. If they seem that way, they are..

    Good Luck!

    No. From my experience with online dating, most females are fictional characters just to get men to subscribe.

    A little lie I might be able to deal with. Say....for example, that they are a brunette and the truth is they buy it out of a bottle. Or the picture is 6 months old (not 1 year, or 5-10 years).

    But to lie about your children and your job? Um....no. Run.

    If you started chatting to someone on an internet dating site and you found out they lied? You then confronted them, and their response was, "who doesnt lie on these sites?". Their profile said they dont have children and they do, also they said they are in the IT/ communications industry, and they work as a chef.

    Would you continue chatting with them?

    You actually had to think about this? :frown:
