| why do men lie about their age?
Posted: 7/24/2006 5:31:59 PM | Heres my reasoning, and if you have a problem with it, then YOU have a problem with it I don't. Stop pissing me off about it.
Everytime I talk to a woman and I am having a great time conversing with her eventually she will ask my age. When I am honest and say 43, 50% of the time she will look at me in disbelief (I seem to be either a perv at this point, or its just good genetics). Then she will casually fade away from me ,and the conversation altogether.
Thanks to you ladies I now have begun to lie about my age, and refuse to tell people my age. Don't like it? Then stop STEREOTYPING older men. Just because I am older doesnt mean that I am whatever it is that an older guy is, in your mind. hell I even still get carded at bars (by your dumb young boyfriends no doubt).
Oh and by the way since we are on the topic of age, I know alot more than your 25 year old boyfriend does in the sensual department of life. | |

Posted: 7/24/2006 6:16:40 PM | | In all honesty I am not interested in anybody under 30 or so, unless they intiate it, and if THEY do intiate it that is fine with me. I didn't go looking for them for sex, one night stand, etc. I dont single them out to come talk to me, but when they find out my age and shy away it surely does show their immaturity. If they choose to act like an adult as I do then we can talk all night and get to know each other. Then go from there. | |

Posted: 7/24/2006 7:06:06 PM | To be honest I don't know 
I could be wrong but then again I have only been wrong once and that was when I thought I was wrong but wasn't 
If they don't know their age then they are too old for you and if they are lying about it then their too dumb so 
Have a nice day  | |

Posted: 7/24/2006 7:27:46 PM | Age is almost not the issue here...if 2 ppl like each other physically, mentally and sexually, then why not let them be happy...big deal...
The real issue is why ppl deceive others about their age....the answer is this.....
People can be vain, almost ashamed of being as old as they are, gripping to the old "glory days" like it was a life preserver.....
If anything, we should feel sorry for these poor old hags and **stards...
I'm Billy.....and I'm 36!!!!!!!!! | |

I just lie about my age because it's fun
Me too!
There are a some gals around here who shaved a few years off for their profile. I know that because I have known them personally for many years. Last month, they suggested that I might want to do the same. Which means, instead of becoming 65 years old on my profile, I should make myself 59 years old. Because, “no problem, I could pass for being anywhere in my 50s anytime in real life.”
Well, guess my dyslexia got in the way and I pushed the wrong button cause I made myself 75 years old instead. (That’s my story to them, anyway.) LOL
Y’know, I had an uncle who lied about his age, way back when he was courting my aunt. He kept up that scam for (almost) all the time they were married, too. Both of them were rather young looking and very active, as are their kids. But, one day, my uncle came home retired -- ten years before his wife who was supposed to be the same age. That’s when he got caught.
So . . . what happened when I made myself ten years older on my profile? A lot! It was a very, very huge surprise for me. A pleasant surprise, too. For instance, most of the profiles sent to me by POF suddenly were from very interesting women who are younger than I really am. And, many are different profiles than I received when I was but 64 years old. Besides, there are a lot more of them now.
Of course, everyone I correspond with already knows my real age. Unlike my uncle, I’ll not live a lie. However, my new age is very interesting here because of the profiles POF suggests I check out. That I have never acted on any of those profiles yet is true. However, one nice (younger) lady wrote and inquired if that was my true age and I immediately wrote back with my correct age.
No matter. I agree with Indigo Rose. She was 79 once, so I thought I would be 75 in case she still likes younger guys.

Posted: 7/26/2006 1:40:36 PM | I believe that they lie so they can boost their ego....It make them feel like they are someone...Makes them feel high, mighty.. Hopfully they can keep """""track""""" of all there lies..
But it does catch up to them...Some of us on here do notice it...
Example: One on here has 2 profiles....2 different pictures...(but if you look close, you can see that they are the same person). In one of the profiles, says that they are one age, and 5'8", with mixed color hair.....The othere profile says that they are ten years younger then the first one, and 5'6" with brown hair.....And they even share the same interests.....
Has anyone notice the same??? If you look close enough at some of the profiles on here you will notice these liars... So beware.....To you all... | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 3:16:38 PM |  ^^^^^^That would be a different thread ... this one's about men lying about their age .....
And that's not all they lie about ... weight ... height!
But none of it's new ...
When the local Disco was the only place we had to meet ... no one could lie about height or weight ... what you saw was what you got. Okay, okay ... girls were occasionally "stuffing their bras" and "stuffing their girdles" and men were occasionally wearing risors in their shoes or "thicker" healed shoes, but that was pretty much the extent of it.
Age was about the only thing they could lie about and even then ... no one wanted to be younger. We were actually making ourselves "older" so we could be sure to get in the doggone place! (Well ... I didn't do that, but knew some who did.)
hahaha ... I can see it now. You have found the one ... you go through all the little dances and end up making it official. Then for one reason or another ... medical benefits, or life insurance physical or whatever, you have to show proof of age ... BAM!!! Your lie is exposed and there you sit!
I know southeast asian immigrants who lied to get into the country. They applied for immigration with the correct age and got denied ... applied one month later with a new application all information the same except only 5 years younger and were welcomed with open arms. What a laugh!
So see ... it's not just the men (or the women) on a dating site lying about their age ... it appears to be the thing to do these days. No thanks ... I've never been interested in being anything but myself.
No bra or girdle stuffing going on here ... what you see is what you get! Take it or leave it!
PS ... was at the doctor the other day and let them measure me ... I really am 5'3" and I weigh 135 lbs. ... been told that's average for my height! | |

Posted: 7/26/2006 10:13:13 PM | I'm not sure why woman have the age preference thing, but I've encoutnered it last year while in college. I had a rough go about my age from a lot of the female students, well at least the ones I didn't befriend or bang.
I guess it's only ok in some circles to date 18-21 year olds if your Hugh Hefner or Donald Trump | |

Posted: 7/27/2006 2:09:49 AM | I've said this before in these age threads --
that I'd rather a man lie about his age a few years than about his height by a few inches.
As far as age thing -- it should be abolished altogether. This one thing in our lives is so antiquated and should be done away with! The age factor has caused more harm and more unhappiness to more people because no one: friends, teachers, employers, peers, lovers -- can ever seem to get past it.
I think that when you are born, a small d.o.b. chip along w/your name should be embedded somewhere in your body never to be seen again until you die. Therefore age is never considered, or ever an issue about anything; only what you are capable of and how well you get along in life and how you treat others. Period. Kinda all the things you ever need to know in life you learned in kindergarten scenario.
Without the age stigma -- there'd be no more concerns about school (grade level), friends, career moves, love, life-- until death, with any reference of how old you are. And ppl across this world would be much happier and much better off and we could all get back to posting the important stuff like: She/He did me wrong and what do I do? | |

Posted: 7/27/2006 4:05:00 AM | | I think it's pathetic to lie about your age on an online dating profile. That goes for men and women. Relationships are supposed to be based on trust and if you start off a relationship lying about yourself, what kind of a relationship are you going to get? I have been honest about everything in my profile and it frustrates me to come across men who are not being similarly sincere. | |

find it frustrating when men's post the wrong age on their profile. For starters, that man may never come up in your search if he were being honest. (most likely a good thing) a potential relationship started with a lie?
Given that I've often gone out with a woman for *months* before finding out how old she REALLY is - and that it's usually expected that a woman will lie about her age - I think this question is hilarious
Sorry :-) | |

Anyway, a little grey hair is called distiguished. Man I hate that. A little is ok, but every time I get my hair cut I think their is a snow storm lmao.
Short hair rules. | |

Posted: 8/24/2006 10:13:34 PM | I dated a woman who'd posted 39 years old, but on the first date she volunteered she was 45-something. I didn't care, if I like her, I like her. If I don't like her, I won't like her even if she's 30. She's tall and has great legs, that's a 10 yr bonus ;) I wouldn't have contacted her if she'd posted 45, so it works, she does look younger.
There are far more important things I want to know that are not in online dating questionnaires such as health, IQ, maturity, bipolar?, manic-depressive?, homicidal?, jerk?, azzhole?, player? . . . . lol | |

Posted: 8/24/2006 11:32:34 PM | | A lot of men lie about their age because they know younger women might not be interested in them. I have to admit that there are some older men I want nothing to do with, but that is because they are way older than me and usually say dumb things about women their age being too old. Crap, I'm 50. | |

Posted: 8/24/2006 11:40:55 PM | Actually, it is done quite a bit by both genders, but the ladies tend to take the lead in this department. However, nothing beats meeting someone in person. It all comes out then.
Age should never be a barrier. It only matters if you have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.......othet than that its dynamics, physical attraction, compatability of personality, and eventually similarities of mind that lead to romance.
I am frequently asked out. Virtually all the ladies that ask me out are considerably younger than me.........12 to 20 years younger. They have one common thread in their opinions, that if they had simply seen my profile on line they would have overlooked it because of the age difference, but because of the meeting being in person, they felt compelled to ask me out and that the age was never considered. Many have asked me out over and over, and some would like to take it farther and have said so.
So too many restrictions are self defeating ...whether they are in the profile, in plain view, or in the mind. Opportunity is there and there are a lot of wonderful people out there. I'm not saying you have to arrange a meet with someone because they are older than you by several years, but don't discount either. Conversely, do not discount a meet with someone younger either. You do not have to think of a date or meet for coffee as marriage potential, but you can consider that meeting someone new, whom may be a great, understanding, personally giving and understanding person whom you could add to your friend's list may be a wonderful way to spend some time. Just so I don't get dumped on for my opinion, because I'm a male, and I'm straight, everything I say, applies to everyone. | |
