Your virtual self vs. your real self

We all know that our online selves are a glamourised, edited version of our real flawed, wobbly and flatulent selves (or is that just me?) In the online dating world, it turns out, people are just downright liars! Online dating site OK Cupid has done some super sleuth work (or just collated their data -whatever), and discovered exactly how far 'above average' online daters make themselves out to be. Kinda like 'peacocking' for the online dating set. The biggest lies?

• Tall tale: "I'm 6 feet tall". Small tale: people are 2 inches shorter in real life
• Image vs scrimmage: "I make $100,000 a year". People are 20% poorer than they say they are
• Latest ain't greatest: the more attractive the picture, the more likely it is to be out of date
• Bi lie: 80% of self identified bisexuals are only interested in one gender

So essentially we're all beautiful, bisexual Amazon gods and godesses who are rolling in cash. If that were the case in reality I would have found my sugar daddy by now :D
