Cnn article about online dating services
A quote from http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/06/10/bad.dates.reut/index.html"Men lie about their availability, whether they have a steady girlfriend or wife, and women tend to lie mostly about their looks," Kantor said.
One of 27 critiques of the site comes from a reviewer named Rich, who gives Match.com a two-star rating out of five potential stars.
"I've come to this conclusion -- there are not a whole lot of good-looking women on these dating sites," he wrote. "'Average' (in a profile) means fat, 'extra pounds' means bring a defibrillator to the date."
I don't even know where to start. I love the society we live in where a woman claiming to be a few pounds lighter can be compaired to cheating. I also am SO SICK of men and society in general acting as if someone weighs over 120 pounds they are fat. I also hate the notion that if you ARE fat that you cann't also be good-looking.
There are so many stupid laws out there I think we need a new one, if a person is medically underweight it should be a crime to call them fat. And it needs a really creative punishment like making the offender obtain the weight they called fat.
