Assume that Anthony had contacted various users of Yahoos online dating service only to discover that each users profile exaggerated

Question:

Assume that Anthony had contacted various users of Yahoo’s online dating service only to discover that each user’s profile exaggerated the user’s physical appearance, intelligence, and occupation. Would Anthony prevail if he brought a lawsuit for fraudulent misrepresentation against Yahoo in that situation? Why or why not?

Keying the words online personals into the Google search engine will return more than 35 million hits, including Match.com, Chanceforlove.com, Widowsorwidowers.com, Makefriendsonline.com, and Yahoo! Personals. Yahoo! Personals, which calls itself the “top online dating site,” offers two options. One, aimed at people looking for casual dates, allows users to create their own profiles, browse member profiles, and exchange e-mail or instant messages. The second option, called Yahoo! Personals Primer, is for people who want serious relationships. Users must take a relationship test. Then they can use Yahoo’s computerized matching system to “zero in on marriage material.”
