Birmingham is one of the most ‘dishonest’ cities when it comes to single women, says on-line poll

/ 5 March, 2013

Birmingham is one of the most dishonest cities when it comes to single women, according to a recent poll conducted by online dating auction site WhatsYourPrice.com.

The website asked members if they lie on their dating profiles to discover which cities have the most honest singles.

According to the poll, 34% of all U.K. women and 21% of men lie on their dating profiles.

Birmingham was named among the least honest cities for online dating by online dating auction site, WhatsYourPrice.com.

Based on a survey of 15,200 U.K. members, Birmingham had the number two highest percentage of lying single women.

The survey also revealed that more women lie than men, with one in four women in the U.K. fibbing on their online dating profiles.

  1. 34% of women lie on their online dating profiles.  21% of men lie on their online dating profiles.
  2. Women lie most about their age and their career.  Men lie most about their height and career.

“It’s interesting, though not surprising, that men are lying about their careers,” says Brandon Wade, Founder & CEO of WhatsYourPrice.com. “In this economy, it is very likely that a man is unsatisfied with his career, and might embellish his online dating profile as he would a résumé to make himself more appealing.”

WhatsYourPrice.com is the only online dating auction site where generous men bid for the chance at a first date with an attractive member. Attractive members can then accept, or offer a higher bid.

“Women are becoming less concerned with their looks,” says Wade. “Instead of lying about their physical appearance, they are far more concerned with their income or career, which would add potential value to the date.”

  1. Often the crude “true” facts lie, and dating websites invariably will not even allow registration unless the person first state stupid such crude facts such as “age” and “occupation”. It would be better if the sites allowed people to present themselves as they themselves judge fit – if they choose to include misleading information in their profiles, so what, they only undermine their own position when a prospective partnership finds a disappointment. It is not helped by the crudeness of judgements made by people themselves, many of whom think they themselves should be preoccupied with such crude criteria. This would especially be the case in the relatively impersonal stranger-land of a big city, so not surprising that B’ham comes first.
