The owners of Match.com recently launched their newest dating site, DownToEarth.com a completely free dating service without any restrictions. A big distinguishing feature of DownToEarth.com is RealRatings, which allows people to rate the ‘realness’ of a person, that is, rating photos/information based on how representative the information is of the real person. People can vote after being on a date with a person. Is it just me, or does this seem weird. Like Highschool superlative voting or something? I suppose it can help eliminate lying on ones profile. You know, so Mr. 6 foot 2, athletic build, 33 years old isn’t actually Mr. 5 foot 2, round build, 56 years old. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Mr. #2, he also needs love!) Here’s the thing, when someone lies specifically about their appearance on their profile, don’t they know they are most certainly going to get caught? I mean once they show up for the date looking nothing like their photo… the gig is up!
