Following in the path of Guy Kawasaki Let The Good Times Roll I've decided to do my own "Top Ten Lies List" for Cyberdating. As an homage to David Letterman I shall do so in reverse order.
Top Ten Lies of Cyberdaters
10. "My Cam is Broken"
Really Means: If you could see me, you'd run in the other direction
9. "I Don't Have A Photo"
Really Means: I'm nothing like the description in my profile
# 8 "I'm a Lingerie Model"
Really Means: I have a great picture of a lingerie model to send you.
# 7 "There Are No Real Women On The Internet"
Really Means: What does a guy have to do to get laid around here?
#6 "Oh I Love Children"
Really Means: Ooh, sex-starved divorcee; I'm gettin' lucky tonight.
#5 "Your Photo Gets Mine"
Really Means: I'm a perve; send me a hot photo and you'll never hear from me again.
# 4 "I Fell Asleep"
Really Means: I was fooling around in another window and forgot you were there.
#3 "I'm In An Open Relationship"
Really Means: I'm not gettin' any at home anymore.
# 2 "Lesbian Seeks Hot, Horny Girl Under Twenty-five for Sapphic Adventures"
Really Means: Can my husband watch?
# 1 "The Power Went Out Because of Hurricane Katrina"
Really Means: I was finished weren't you?
We haven't seen a new posting in a while, would love to hear more cyberdating tips

Thankfully, I met and married a wonderful man I met online. I've got a couple more lies to add to your list though. When I was cyber dating I ran across the profile of a man I had (unfortunatley) had a relationship with. In his profile he stated he "drinks socially, will tell you later his income, doesn't have a recent photo and has two grown children". The truth is that he is a hardcore alcoholic that hasn't been able to keep a job for years, owes hundreds of thousands of dollars of back child support, has warrants out for his arrest and has not seen his children in years. I still think cyber dating is great though, just be careful out there.
