The site categorizes itself as "a mix between Match.com and Second Life." Indeed it is: Unlike other more traditional dating sites, there's no requirement that you present yourself as who you really are. So say you're a 5'2" guy who weighs 110 pounds soaking wet. Have no fear, you're now a 6'3" 220-pound gym rat.

Who You Want to Be, Not Who You Are

After creating your profile on Cloud Girlfriend with who you want to be (rather than who you really are), the site's algorithms then proceed to search through other profiles in order to find you a match. Now this person probably isn't real either, so you have no clue who you're really talking to.

Like what you see? You can request a "date." If you start connecting with this person somehow, you can choose to reveal your actual identity through social networks. You use uses to register for Cloud Girlfriend. However, your Facebook identity is never disclosed nor is anything posted to your Facebook Wall without your permission.

At least these folks say they have your personal privacy in mind, but I have to argue that if you just enticed somebody into talking to you with a fake profile, why the heck would want to tell them who you really are?
