^^^^^^^^^
of course that's fine if the only women he's contacting also have "friends" listed as what they're searching for. If not, then his deception falls through the strainer.

What if the person he's contacted is younger and feels 49 is the upper limits of an age she's comfortable with? He's now wasted both their time when she meets him and can see he's obviously not 49.

I don't like lying about my age...what is the point? If a man has issues with his age and there are plenty on this site who look way older than I do, but say they are much younger than myself, I say, shame on them....

This just happened to me too. Not only was her age wrong, she lied to me about being in college in a message. What the hell is wrong with people? Glad I got my hopes up for nothing.

You can kinda tell when a certain woman is deceiving about her age. Makeup usually adds to her true age. It's those cougars with flawless skin that bring me to my knee.

Little lies are forgivable. I'm more concerned about how many men she slept with overall.

Arguably, people think they gain more responses and attention from building false profiles. Most of us take social networking with a grain of salt, unlike slowly trying to build credibility using sites like POF. What are we after ultimately?

I met someone older than myself one afternoon and later, while having dinner together, she asked if I knew how old she was. I told her I didn't care. She said all the right things, made the right impression on me and I just wanted to get to know her better.

She told me... I still didn't care.

I met a man for a soda the other day. His profile said he is 57. First sight, I thought--no way is he 57.

After the "date," I went home and checked his profile again. Buried in the profile blurb was the sentence, "I am not 57, I am really 62. I just wanted you to read my profile."

I never noticed it there before, though I suppose it was. If I had seen it before I went, I wouldn't have gone.

I sent him a message telling him he shouldn't lie about his age, even if he does "correct it" elsewhere.

He got angry because I called him a liar.

So, posting a false age with the deceitful intent of getting women to read his profile isn't lying?

I guess my ethics are different from his.

Since over 80 percent of the women I met from internet dating sites had lied about their ages from 3 to 12 years I gave up on using the internet to find someone to date. Over two thirds lied about their weight, too. How disappointing it was and what a waste of time!

Frankly, I do best in person. Just had a great date last Friday with a 31 year old ballet dancer and things are looking good! I revealed my age of 66 to her ,too. She did not blink and eye. Just gave me a nice hug and kiss.

his age on his profile did not match up with his "story."

Last night a 50 year old woman e-mailed me and the profile had no photo so, of course, I asked for one. She immediately sent me this photo of a beautiful woman who I am guessing was in her 30's. When I asked when the photo was taken she admitted it was "several years ago" but that she hasn't really changed.

When I insisted on a current photo I start getting the "don't have any", "camera is broke", "don't want to send from cell phone"... ending finally with ... "why is it important, wouldn't you just like to get to know me?"

I used to never understand the term "playing games".. but I am catching on. Why folks insist on wasting time like this is just beyond me.
