One of the great things about Matchandtalk is the ability to read the profiles of hundreds of people in the peace of your own home. You can scan for key interests and age groups in perfect anonymity without expressing your preferences "in public."

However, you are often relying on the honesty of the other person to make your search a worthwhile one. When out in pubs and bars, this is still an issue, and let us be honest, who hasn't embellished their jobs and social life story at least a tiny bit to impress that prospective date.

So, online dating can solve that problem - but it does sometimes bring up another issue - the less than honest profile photos. Unlike in a real-world bar or pub, you rely on the honesty of the picture that the other person uploaded on their web site.

A lot of people will try to take the most flattering photo possible - and who can blame them for that! However, some will pull out a computer graphics program and deliberately lie about their appearance by making subtle modifications to their appearance. Even worse, are those people who steal other peoples photos and use them - not only is this fraud, we would be rightly concerned about meeting people who would consider doing that.

So, how do we avoid these pitfalls with online dating? One great way is to live video chat. It is practically impossible to modify your appearance via Matchandtalk live video chat service, and it offers a fantastic way of meeting people for a few minutes in the safety of your own home before you decide to meet up in the scary "real world."

In summary, Matchandtalk live video chat offers an exciting and safe new way of online dating that provides security and honesty in both parties.
