Online Dating Liars, Cheats and Scammers, Beware!
If you lie, cheat, or mislead people via Internet dating (or if you are concerned that someone will do it to you), you need to go on over to http://www.playersnitch.com/ and see the newest trend: reporting on who did what, with pictures, sceen names, and even full reports with identifying information. I wrote about dontdatehimgirl.com earlier, which is a similar site.
Playersnitch seems less catty and maybe less likely to be abused by folks who are just mad about a relationship gone bad. I liked the reporting style—a whole list of possible sins: See list below this posting. I was impressed frankly by the “restraint” of the reporters. I think that the reporting style the site uses encourages preciseness and not just angry blasts.
The owner of the site sent me a video posted on YouTube that you might want to check out—to see if you are pictured, or anyone you are dating. I looked up some of the screen names of those identified as posting on Match.com. Some were still there, using the same screen name.
So fair warning: If you lie, cheat or behave badly, more and more ways are springing up for your behavior to be reported. If you don’t want your name and picture appearing on one of these sites, then keep your behavior impeccable.
It’s becoming clearer and clearer that lying and bad behavior brings daters no advantage at all, and in fact, is destructive to the liar themselves. Your best defense is absolute honesty, above-board, kind and responsible behavior. And insist on the same from others.

Dear Kathryn,
I do not believe that some oft those so called “lies” are so uncommon among women. Do you really think all women poste “new” photos? Do you really believe, that even a new photo tells the truth about how someone looks like? With a good photographer, you can easily gain 5 years. What about heir colour, age, weight, relationships, children?
And - did you never hear about married women dating men claiming they are single?
Women usually don’t behave like saints - and men do not expect them to do so.
Yours
