The Average Person is 50% Honest on a Dating Site

DatingAdvice.com recently had single Americans rate their online dating experiences of how honest people are.

If you’ve spent a lot of time on dating apps, you’ve probably figured out that anything that sounds “too good to be true” it’s probably only about 50% true.

DatingAdvice.com recently had single Americans rate their online dating experiences of how honest people are, on a scale of 1-to-10…and this isn’t embellishing stories…it’s the basic stuff like ages, jobs, hobbies, education, and even “relationship status.” Overall, people rated the honesty they’ve encountered on dating profiles as a “5.1 out of 10” there was a lot of variance by state. South Dakotans stood out as the most honest, scoring a 7.5. meanwhile, New Yorkers were the least honest, by far, scoring only 3.4.
