Is Your Online Dream Date a Liar?
Liarliarlist.com Reveals the Truth about Online Profiles
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 100 million single people, in America, over the age of 18. Research also indicates that some 40 million of them use online dating or social networking sites in hopes of meeting the man or woman of their dreams.
Unfortunately, research also reveals at least half of the potential cyber mates may be lying or misrepresenting themselves in their profiles or photos. How do you know if that 6’5 guy is closer to 5’6” or the thirty something gal is actually pushing 50? Liairliartlist.com to the rescue.
The recently launched website has the 411 on whose posts are works of fiction and whose are the real deal, where what you see is really what you get. By logging on to Liarliarlist.com and writing reviews—identifying people by their screen name and dating site only—members create an invaluable database that can help fellow romance-seekers eliminate many of the uncertainties of online dating.
The easy navigation on Liarliarlist.com lets you know if your prospective date is telling the truth or a bald-faced lie. Is your dream date on the list? Are you on the list?
The brainchild of writer and marketer Beth Greenfield, the site is born of her own surprising, disappointing, sometimes poignant and often funny experiences in the internet dating world. The idea came to her after yet another unsuccessful face-to-face with someone whose profile was nothing like the real person.
“I wondered if there was a way to exchange information about people who lie on their profiles,” she says. “I wasn’t concerned about what kind of date the guy was, that’s a whole different dynamic of the dating experience. My concern grew out of the very basic reason we want to meet each other, in the first place - are they telling the truth in their picture and their profile?”
Liarliarlist.com joins an industry that rakes in an estimated $976 million, reports research firm Market data Enterprises. But the site occupies a unique niche as the only truly professional, full service site devoted to pointing out—in the nicest possible way—the most deceitful online posters.
Acting as the internet dating watchdog, Liarliar’s goal is to simply set the record straight. And, in the ultimate nod to fairness, anyone who receives a negative review can refute the accusations and others can add their opinion, as well. While Liarliar’s mission is to expose the truth, the site is designed to be entertaining, informative and even offer a few dating possibilities of its own. So, subscribers to Liarliarlist.com will find a host of engaging interactive features.
Through Puppy Love, dog lovers can meet possible mates who share the same passion for a particular breed. Audio Horoscopes lets you meet your most compatible astrological love sign. On the Message Board, people can seek suitable partners via areas of compatibility such as interests and activities.
In addition, Liarliarlist.com includes contests to choose the hottest member of the week or the biggest dissembler; a blog by Dr. Truth, a psychologist who specializes in relationships; and fun provocative quizzes to test your own sexy savvy. A mobile capability will even allow users to check and post while still on their date.
As founder and CEO, Greenfield believes Liarliar can transform the online dating landscape: “I think people will check their own reviews to see if somebody called them out and then fix the most egregious misrepresentations, like photos that are 15 years old or statistics that are blatantly untrue. We also want to hear about the all those who were totally honest.”
And why do they lie in the first place? Greenfield posts the theory that “people believe they can overcome any shortcomings by the force of their personality. Plus, they’re afraid to show who they really are for fear of being rejected.”
With a demographic that cuts across income, age, education, religion, interests, etc., Liarliarlist.com offers advertisers a bonanza of opportunities, from fine dining to fast food, from personal fitness to pet care, from sports equipment to spa vacations and countless other possibilities.
The basic post and search feature will remain free but as brand identity grows and conditions warrant, the premium dating services will become subscription-fee based. Revenue is also expected through “Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire!” and “Are YOU on the list?” merchandise and the development of various media properties.
Forty million Americans from 18 to 80 are on an online quest for love. Liarliarlist.com will ensure they get a lot more truth in advertising.
