OMG! I say that about weight all the time. At first, I tell people I weigh 30 pounds more than I do. They are like WOW, you carry it so well lol.

HellsPrincess...I think it is a BUG difference when people are exclaiming that "no way!" about your age when they are saying you LOOK YOUNGER!

I do not think, unless we are talking about the under 21 peeps lying to look legal...there are many who lie about being OLDER?

By the way...you and the hubby are a very sexy couple and I wanted to congratulate you on both the match/marriage and the baby!

I love the people who are 29, or 39 forever. It just kinda makes me roll my eyes. Usually the ones that say it are so OBVIOUSLY NOT 29 or 39. be who you are. I'm 39, and in Dec. I'll be 40.

~OT~ Many people have dyslexia. For some reason, 54 ends up in the profile as 45. (Such silliness. I'm going to notice and it's not about age at that point ~ it's about the lie.)

What is so wrong with HONESTLY PORTRAYING oneself. I mean, your friends/lover will find out eventually! - HarleyKat~

I totally agree with you, HarleyKat~ . If you're going to meet someone, what is the point? People find out they've been mis-led & lied to, poof! You have pretty much blown your chance to
make a good first impression.

I met someone here 4 years ago, his pics show brown hair with just a touch of gray (by a touch, I mean a TINY amount). His profile states he is my age. The man I met, has no brown
hair whatsoever, ALL gray! Either he lied about his age, or he used a very old picture, or both. Either accept the gray hair & get new pics done, or get rid of the gray! For heaven's sake, it ain't brain surgery, folks!
(BTw, I saw him on here recently, hair still looks brown!)ROFLMFAO!

MLT09 whoa...that just sparked one of my pet peeves...

lying on your profile in general. Age, smoking, married..dating...so many!

I learned because we can filter out things with the filter..the only way to get in the door is to tell a fib on the profile to get past our filters!

Once in..you can tell the truth or just pretend its all a terrible mistake!

I agree..it is fundamentally WRONG! Tell the truth..and then people do not waste time and energy persuing something that isnt worth it! ~for those of us who know what we want, of course!

what do you do if you think someone isnt being truthful about it? I'm talking with this guy who SAYS he's 32 but there is just no way. He doesnt look OR act 32. How old? I couldn't say for sure but must be at least 42. A 32 year old is going to be much younger in body and spirit than this one person is. I just can't see it. He SAYS his online profile is truthful but I am suspicious.

He ranted that he didn't owe me or anyone on this dating site anything and he had every right to put whatever age he chose....every one on here is lying.....blah blah blah.


Wow, that's really hilarioius
Don't get me wrong, it does suck and I'm sorry, but that response just made me laugh a bit.

I've had 2 girls on this site reply and turn out to be younger than their described age, both being 17. That was pretty weird. Definitely didn't see either of them. I guess that's a bit different than the OP though.

I run into guys who lie about their age all the time on these dating sites. one even confessed to me that he was 15 yrs older then what he really was. His excuse that women my age don't wnat to date him. When tehy lie about their age they are usually palying games and probably telling other lies. One lie leads to another lie.

Men lie about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING age height and so on simply because they can. They think everyone lies on dating sites. Plus some just aren't very smart to begin with.

They think everyone lies on dating sites


Perhaps everyone on dating sites don't lie, just the ones who leave spaces blank, fill in with something cutsey or ambiguous, manipulate words in order that they can claim truth, but still aren't being straight forward and honest, leave out important things that might deter someone from getting to know them, and writing things on other dating sites and in the forums that don't agree with what they have on their profiles or forums here.

There is another thread about people who lie on profiles, and I love a quote from one poster:


The biggest lie anyone can tell is to pretend they’re totally honest

I am new to on line dating and this seems to be a major problem. Whats the point when the truth comes out anyway?My profile is honest and I hope that any women I meet are the same. Not all men are liars and jerks. So because of this problem I 'm thinking or getting out of POF. I don't want to waste my time meeting someone only to find out they aren't who they say they are. Good luck.
Best Regards
Robert

I guess. To act your age is easier when you are about Five.
After Twelve it begins to be harder!

There are many profiles by young or old ppl which say: Looks younger,. Young at heart, . Which I see as a plus. It's good to be young at heart.

Yet Young or old. Age doesn't carry any weight.It doesn't matter in the end.

Its so hard to get old without a cause. Youth is like diamonds in the sun.
And dimonds are forever. Forever young!

Huge pet peave of mine. My profile clearly states that I like younger guys. I have never lied about my age, what is the point. There are plenty of younger guys that are attracted to older women. I have dated guys my own age and older guys but prefer younger.

Anyway, I have had guys that lower their age by 10 to 15 years so their messages get through. So I like younger guys but my restrictions are up to 5 years older so since I am 38 the restrictions go up to 43. Guys in their 50s will change their age to low 40s so their messages go through. OK dude, you may think you look and act younger heck we all think that past 30. If you take care of yourself then you will look and feel younger. That is not the point! You are not younger!!

I like guys in their late 20s and if I wanted to date someone in his 50s I would allow the messages through. Why do people waste their own time?

Hi Babs, that's the way I look at it. I'm 55, but could get away with saying I'm 10 yrs younger, but what's the point in the long run? My ex was 13 yrs younger than me & all her mates thought I was the same age as her - pi**ed her off big style!

I have had a few dates that appeared 10 years older than their stated age. Not sure if father time was cruel to them or if they were fibbing about their stated age.

Lots of woman have lyed about there age and well I suppose they have some sort of thing where its alright for them to breach society and get away with this deceptive measure. Now women say men cant do the same thing? Why not? Now before anyone gets mad at me; let me pose a diffferent possibility. ie: Say a man is 60; he writes down in the dating service that hes 49--now if he knows that he is physically fit and attractive--If he was honest and said 60- most would not contact him because they might imagine a man looking for someone to aid him in his old age--but this might not be the case at all. I think many middle-aged men worry what other women think about them. Sure some will chase 20 yr.old women; but even some teens think thats nasty; but not all of them; "sugar-daddys"--still exist. --What if this 60 yr. old man only wants the friendship of a younger woman; someone to dine with--(even know Im a man)--if our 60yr.old man lyed a litttle bit to get some attention then I say so be it.
