Would you be willing to do a first date hooked up to a polygraph machine?

You're heard of speed dating. Well I was wondering, considering all the lies and distrust that permeate dating. Why hasn't anyone come up with polygraph dating where people are forced to be honest or be exposed.

Would you feel better about a date that's concluded where you KNOW you weren't lied to. Or KNOW what you were lied to about?

Would you be ok with having to answer every question asked honestly, or be exposed for the answers you weren't honest about?

As long as they don't want my account and routing numbers or first pet names and favorite singer, etc., I am fine with it.

Good point maybe there should be ground rules from the beginning. Questions that are off limits.

oooo good one... sure, why not. but I'm married. I like the concept...

[ChiTown33]

Thanks. I'm kind of exploring the question. Because to certain extent I think a lot of people contrary to what they say want to believe things the frankly know NOT to be true. I'm just curious how many people truly want the straight dope from people when they're first meeting them. So far early data suggests people are NOT in favor of it.

They are only 88% accurate so if you talk about enough topics it will give false positives and false negatives. That is why they are inadmissible in court. Plus habitual liars can consistently beat them. It actually just monitors someone's pulse rate and skin dampness/sweat and temperature. It basically monitors nervousness/anxiety which people can already have on a date without lying at all.
