Honesty Of PA Online Daters Among Lowest In U.S., Survey Says

PENNSYLVANIA — When it comes to online dating in Pennsylvania, potential matches on popular dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are more likely to be lying to you than in most other U.S. states.

A new report by DatingAdvice.com surveyed 3,000 single daters across America and asked them to rate their online dating experiences on a scale of 1 to 10 by how honest the people they matched with were about their ages, jobs or appearance.

The goal was to "capture the perceived integrity of profiles on dating apps and provide a clearer picture of how users represent themselves in the digital dating landscape," according to the survey.

Pennsylvania fared worse than nearly all other states when it came to online dating deception. Out of a possible 10, the Commonwealth received an honesty score of 4.0. Only Rhode Island and New York earned lower scores, according to the survey.

The average honesty score was a moderate 5.1 out of 10.

Receiving the highest score was South Dakota with 7.5 out of 10, followed by Alaska with 7.3 and Delaware with 7.0.

According to the survey, online dating matches were least honest about their relationship status followed by age and real-life appearance.
