Now that online dating has become commonplace, would-be suitors are having a hard time making themselves seem interesting in an increasingly large dating pool. So, what to do if your own interests and achievements are boring and average? Well, just borrow the good bits of the exciting profiles that you find, and add them to your own. Apparently, these acts of profile plagiarism are fairly commonplace now amongst the online dating set. When people find well-written, exciting descriptions, they grab them for their own profiles. Unfortunately for the daters, eventually, a real-world meeting delivers a product that the marketing has misrepresented, and disappointment usually results. Although in some cases, it’s possible to track down the “original” author, most origins are fairly difficult to trace – surely more than one person enjoys “long walks on the beach.”

There is a huge hubub in academia about plagiarism, and tools to detect it. Maybe those tools would find great acceptability in a new market.
I’m not sure if it’s the users that actually put up duplicate content, but more the dating site owners putting up fake profiles to make their member base look bigger.
Dating sites like that shady Adult Friend Finder got it’s start by making fake profiles to trick people into joining it.
