Why Would Women Accept the Lie I was wondering if you've heard of this social experiment - the basic concept is this: an attractive woman rounded up a bunch of Internet dates using an actual photo of herself, then for the date, wore a fat suit. Her dates were videotaped. The same experiment was conducted using a male subject. The responses of both the male and female dates were pretty textbook, i.e., the guys were disappointed and pretty vocal about the difference between the profile and reality, and the girls were surprised, but shrugged it off and enjoyed the date, even agreeing to go out again. I wasn't surprised at all at these results, but I was a little creeped out by the female responses. I realize that inner beauty is most important, but it seems unwise to agree to go on another date with someone who can't be honest about their appearance, and feels it's okay to lie. Katherine
