Some do it stupidly because the age they give in the narrative of their profile is lower than the one reported in the box above it.
You're not taking into consideration that they may have had a birthday since they wrote their profile. Then the age above updates, but it doesn't automatically correct what she/he writes.
If it's a year different, that's one thing. How about a guy who states in his profile that he's actually 10 years younger than the age stated at the top of his profile? That guy lied about his birth date when he signed up and thinks it's okay if he "corrects" it later in the text. He's still a liar.
There is a simple answer to that - if the person is feeling a little unsettled by having lied - why dont they just write their real age in their written profile?
There's people who do that and think, then, it's okay that they lied initially as long as they correct it later. If they had any integrity, they'd delete their profile and start over with an honest one.
Liars insist that everyone else is doing it therefore it's okay for them to do it. Fine. However, not everyone is. I'm only interested in people who are honest about themselves, even when it is inconvenient.
A man lies about their age on a profile is because they are not looking for a woman their own age - they want a woman significantly younger.
Exactly. If a guy is 56, or 66, or 76, and looking for a woman around his age, there's no reason to lie, right? But if he's looking for a woman 20 years or more younger - well, if he puts his real age most women that much younger aren't searching in that age range. I understand why people do it. Shoot, most guys my age are old, fat, and boring! But there are guys my age and older who have aged well, who appreciate what a woman with wisdom and maturity can bring to a relationship. They are rare but so is the woman they seek.
Women misrepresent themselves, too. People do it because they don't want to be rejected because they aren't younger, or slimmer, or better looking, or wealthier, or whatever. But sooner or later you're going to be found out and it just makes you look dishonest if you misrepresent yourself. Who is going to trust you after that? Might as well be truthful & be interesting.
