Fake profiles are certainly a problem. It's just another lazy tactic that removes a little more trust that people have in our sites. You see this being discussed by surfers all the time. Go take a look in yahoo answers and see how many surfers are asking if the profiles are fake or real. I think the problem is predominant among the smaller, less-reputable sites, however, sites run by owners who lack the knowledge / finances to bring in real female members. I would guess the figures for large sites are actually quite low, since they know how to attract real people.
