Singles know the online dating scene lacks trust

The pressure to present oneself in a positive light has affected many singles' ideas of what's happening in the dating world. According to DatingAdvice.com, the fear is that AI might be helping to "update photos" or fabricate relationship statuses.

Respondents to a survey pointed out that these areas were where singles fear they're being deceived: Relationship status, age, appearance, hobbies and interests, education level, and jobs. (What's left???)

The study found that about a third of those on dating sites are not being honest about their relationship status - the most deceptive area.
