There’s a favorite painting of mine called “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” that features Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean sitting at the counter in a diner and being served by Elvis.

A new study reveals that online daters, both men and women, usually fib about either their height or weight, and sometimes their age. In their internet ads, men systematically overestimated their height, while women more commonly underestimated their weight. Communications expert Jeffrey Hancock says, “Surprisingly, age-related deception was minimal and did not differ by gender.”

There is no other means of pollination.
