Here is a teaser of my latest article on Singles Warehouse.
You’re at quite a bit of risk when you’re dating online. Tips come from friends, family and even acquaintances in plenty, but you need to know how to deal with a situation before it happens, not if or when it happens. Here’s a quick list of who to avoid when dating online. It’s not comprehensive but it covers a majority of situations. Finding a soulmate may well turn out to be an exercise in avoidance until the right one comes along.
Dating Online: Tips on Avoidance (Because Prevention is the Best Cure)
Definitely Avoid #1: The Graphic Designer
This is the Photoshop genius who cleverly makes himself out to be a Brad Pitt when he’s actually an Alfred Hitchcock! His face on other bodies – that’s a caution sign right there. Him with Genghis Khan and his horde – stay a mile away. But you can ask for other photos like family shots and those that force him to reveal himself, in a manner of speaking. If you’re still wondering “how can I find a man” after week of dating online, then it’s possible that this is one of the things you’re missing.

It’s funny how people use the power of the internet to deceive people, even with love and relationships. At one point or another, they’re going to figure it out.
Funny indeed! Thanks for sharing.
Haha! Love this one “This is the Photoshop genius who cleverly makes himself out to be a Brad Pitt when he’s actually an Alfred Hitchcock!”
We don’t really think this happens that often you know, but where I live, a radio DJ was on air saying that is exactly what happened to her. Totally misrepresented himself, so yes, we are still in the age of buyer beware!
You hope people put current…or within a couple of years … photos online, if not you certainly worry about their integrity.
Agree…crazy world we’re living in. Great point and tips given for being more aware of online scams.
That was quite an education – and a funny one at that! Who knew PhotoShopping your parts to make yourself look appealing would even be an issue. I guess The Graphic Designer never really plans to MEET anyone …
LOL…I dated online and then married the graphic designer….got the real deal though!
Important suggestions! Super post!
Fun article ! Thanks for sharing more great tips.
Hilarious Lorii! I love it! I like the idea of a family photo. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent as always!!
That was funny, poor graphic designers! But you are right in the context the used!
I have never dated online but I am sure this one is common. Unfortunately.
Not sure I’d take to dating online as this is only one way a man could mask his true identity. Pretty scary to me.
The idea of a family picture is a great idea, makes it safer for people!
You got me giggling with this one: I’m saying this happens more often than not… what a crazy world we live in!
