Millions of people around the world enjoy online dating sites, but not everything they read or hear is true.

In fact, online dating has a number of myths that surround it and should, in the main, be completely ignored by those on the search for a partner.

The Fresno Bee recently put together a guide to some of the main myths in online dating – starting with the idea that it is only for a certain type of person.

Some believe that turning to the web for a date is something only old, ugly or nerdy people do, but the truth is that it is for everyone.

Another myth is that everyone on an online dating site is lying. In fact, many are keen to find someone genuine and can be trusted in everything they say.

Similarly, prospective online daters should not be worried by the idea of the process being too expensive, confined to people of a certain age or carrying an element of danger, as all of these are untrue.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801680790-ADNFCR
