The difference with meeting in a bar or where ever face to face is its harder for them to lie about age, weight and such when you're looking at the person. As far as the rest of it, unless your a psychic they can lie, lie, lie about job, relationships, kids what ever. Any way you look at it it's a crap shoot. I met a gorgeous man in Church and he turned out to be a jackass of the worst kind. Go figure....One thing I would advise is to take a LONG time getting to know a person inside and out before making any type of a commitment....Sometimes time itself reveals the trouble in a man/woman...
