The popularity of dating sites continues to thrive with pretty much every perspective and demographic of society having a dating site that they can click to. One of the main issues with the online dating scene of course are those bad apples out there that like to use fraudulent online identities. I am sure that you have heard a horror story or two of one of your friends or a friend of a friends friend that when ahead and took that chance on meeting someone physically for the first time only to find out that the actual person is nothing like the photo they used in their online dating profile.
I really don’t understand the mind set of people that put an online dating profile that does not genuinely relate to the person that they actually are. I mean I totally understand a little embellishment here or there when it comes to your personality profile. Putting up a totally fake profile picture on a dating site seems like that would be about the dumbest move that a person could commit. Seriously it is a dating site! Dating meaning that you have intentions of eventually meeting these people, physically meeting them would mean they are going to know what you look like! I don’t think that using a fake profile picture is all to bright of a move and you deserve what ever fury is rained down on you once you are discovered!

I thought I would poll the question just out of curiosity more than anything else. Anyway I started tinkering with the idea for this post when I saw a little PR announcement on the web for a new online service called checked profile dot com. The concept behind their service is rather clever actually as you send them a picture and then they send you a code that you are required to hold up in front of you in a new picture that once taken you send in. Then they have actual people that will very quickly compare both photos to validate your online photo with a stamp validating the fact that you are who you claim to be in that photo. The photo of course is then yours to use for what ever online profile you need to sign up for.
I think it’s a great concept and unfortunately it’s an idea that has a very large market and demand as there seems to be a lot of not so trust worthy people online. One thing that I found pretty humorous actually was that at this checked profile dot com service that they have found that the majority of people that seems to be using fake online profiles are men, wow! Is that really any surprise to anyone? Anyway the checked profiles for women and children are free where as the men are being charged a minimal fee of a $1.99. Way to go guys! Again, you are an idiot and are pretty low on the ladder of being a respectable person if you are using a fake online id especially if you are using online dating profiles!
Anyway here are a couple of links for those of you that are curious about or feel a need to validate your online profile. The first one of course is the site I mentioned already checkedprofile.com and the other site is called validize.com. The second site that I am listing here has a bit of a different spin on having a credible online profile as they are not so much focused on dating profiles as they are gearing their service towards the the online website owners and bloggers that understand the need to be credible in this online world oh and don’t forget to vote in the poll question about fake online dating profiles or fake online profiles in general.
