When you’re sitting in front of your computer and puzzling over how to craft the best profile possible you should feel free to lie. That might sound horrible but this is the best kind of lying since it’s hard to imagine a way in which anyone gets hurt by it.

White lies are generally accepted as fine since they tend to spare feelings and smooth over small stresses and issues. Genuine lying is frown upon because it’s almost always backed by a nefarious motivation or ends up hurting someone. Folks that lie with impunity tend to be the most horrible types on the planet, freely hurting those close to them because they don’t want to accept responsibility for a mistake or just because it’s fun. Lying in a casual dating profile is an entirely different thing because the motivations are different.


When a guy lies on his casual dating profile he’s doing it because he wants to hookup and he knows that the lies make him more appealing. It’s really that simple and that’s the only circumstance under which you should be doing it. For guys the things that make a woman attractive are almost entirely physical. It’s about how pretty she is, how hot her body is, etc. Every guy has a type and the girls in that type are most attractive to him. Girls on dating sites lie about the things that are important by putting up pictures that are misleading or old and show them at a lesser weight. That gets them laid more and so do the lies guys tell.

If you’ve read other articles on the site you probably know that women are less concerned with the physical qualities of their hook up and more concerned with the overall picture since it all plays into how attractive a guy is. If you’re decent looking and work at the post office you’re not as attractive as a guy that’s decent looking but works as a high powered lawyer and drives a Mercedes. Reverse that and it doesn’t really apply; guys are just as attracted to the sexy postal worker as they are the sexy lawyer, particularly when you’re only talking about sex dating. It’s different for girls and you’re an absolute fool if you don’t use that information to your advantage.

If you’re looking for a one time hookup there’s really no way for the girl to verify anything you’ve told her as long as you’re not an idiot about it. Consider your lies before you tell them. If you claim to live in a million dollar penthouse apartment then you can’t take her to the Motel 6 because you should have the money for a nice hotel suite. If you claim to drive a luxury car then don’t show up in your beater with the broken muffler. Tell lies that make you seem more exciting but that can’t be confirmed as lies.

The most effective way of telling a lie that will not be discovered is to embellish how exciting your life is. Talk about all the amazing places you’ve been or experiences you’ve had and do a little research so you can expound on them a bit if she asks. Tell her you’ve been skydiving if you want to seem adventurous. Tell her you’ve been to Asia on business if you want to seem worldly (it’s always good to have been somewhere on business so you can claim you didn’t get to see much if she presses you for details). If you lie to make yourself seem more exciting then you make yourself more attractive and that’s a good thing for sex dating.
