Alexandria Wilson, 36, was drawn to the profile of a handsome man on blackpeoplemeet.com who wrot... A date wasn't so great

"We went to Cheddar's in the East End, and lo and behold, it was all about the booty," she says. Her date went on about how most women couldn't handle him and when she reminded him of the impression he gave on his profile, "he looked at me blankly." As a result, "I took myself off the Web site," she says. "I was through."

Wilson, like oodles of other online daters, learned the truth only when she was already on a doomed dinner date. But from now on, it won't be as easy for online dating deceivers to spin their Web profiles.

Los Angeles-based TrueDater.com offers protection to the savvy online dater. Think of it as Consumer Reports for Internet intimacy. Site members, who can join for free by filling out a simple profile, post reviews of people they've dated and whether they are who they say they are.

There are some complimentary reviews, but any age alterations or fallacies regarding physique, career, marital status, intentions, etc., are revealed, along with a link to the perpetrator's profile.

Currently, TrueDater.com only accepts reviews of daters using Match.com, Americansingles.com, Nerve.com, Yahoo! Personals and the Jewish meeting site Jdate.com. As TrueDater.com expands, more niche dating sites may be included, says Jamie Diamond, spokesman for the site.

A browse through the reviews uncovered a potpourri of pretenders: married men claiming to be single, a prostitute posing as a Swedish student, an international scam artist seeking citizenship, people who post pictures from decades past -- or images of supermodels.

"The person who's a liar is not going to hang around and let everybody know they're a liar," says Karen Adams, coauthor of the "Online Dating Survival Guide." "They'll just pick a different screen name. It's going to be hard to really corner these people."

Adams acknowledges that TrueDater.com could be very helpful if used correctly, but she says it also may give rejected Internet daters with an ax to grind an easy way to vilify their uninterested dates.

"This is opening up doors to abuse because of the person's agenda who's posting it," she says. "Ex-husbands, ex-wives could have a heyday. You could just go and trash them."

Diamond says the staff does its best to edit out entries that appear to be solely spite-driven, but at this early point in the site's development, a few slip through the cracks. Whiny vendettas are not welcome.

"Don't get into a food fight. Don't tell me Johnny is a jerk because he took you to Skateworld instead of the opera. Don't smear people and get personal," he says. "If it's just a food fight or a personal attack, it won't go up."

A service like TrueDater.com would be welcome by local daters seeking cybermates. For instance, Trish Neff, 28, would have liked knowing beforehand that a recent online date was 37, rather than 30, and was far more stuck on cigarettes than he indicated.

"He said he was a social smoker on his profile, he knew I didn't smoke, and as soon as I get there, he lights up!" she says. "He didn't impress me."

After she let him know she wasn't interested in seeing him again, he blacklisted her on his online profile. "If you can't take rejection, you shouldn't be online dating," Neff says.
