Even before social networking became a huge buzz word, everyone knew what online dating was; it generally didn’t enjoy a great reputation. Since then dating has become much more legitimate in the eyes of the public, with major conferences held on the topic, but it still has it pitfalls:

“Match.com officials said they’ve tried to lessen the amount of liars and scammers on their site by screening every member profile and photos. Each month, they reject about 15 percent of the submitted profiles that don’t reach their standards.” (source: Post-Tribune)

Not every psycho killer gets caught by the filters though. According to a recent news story, a man featured on the crime show America’s Most Wanted was apprehended after someone identified his photo on a dating site called Plenty of Fish. He admitted to being a shy guy who loved to cuddle, but conveniently left out that thing about a double homicide. The founder of Plenty of Fish reassures everyone that his profile was taken down.
