| why do men lie about their age?
Posted: 8/29/2006 4:03:54 AM | | Additionally, I have found that most (not all) women don't age gracefully. Not looks, but personality. Many women start getting older and start ACTING older. I still like many of the things I liked 20 years ago-loud music, a little partying, fast cars, motorcycles, etc, but older women don't retain any of their youthful characteristics. Most of the things my spouse liked about me are still there. I can't say that about her. Men don't act their age as they age, but many women do. That takes the fun out of life. Just because you are old(er), doesn't mean you have to act like life is over. Think young, act young, live young. | |

When did love making, sex, whatever you want to call it become comparable to Calculus?
I think by 25 years of age most of us have figured out where to insert all the parts and what to do with them once inserted to bring about the pleasure of your partner. | |

Posted: 8/31/2006 11:31:51 AM | I personally think a lot of the lying, by BOTH genders, about ANY subject is sort of relating to the old salesman's tactic of "getting a foot in the door". They think if they can get people to meet them that they can somehow charm their way into a relationship,even if they are significantly older, fatter, uglier or poorer than what they state in their profile.
There are one or 2 lies that I suspect might be in self defense,understating income/education/profession to avoid gold diggers. I can just about live with that but I would run a mile from any guy who made a significant lie by 'upward adjustment' in his income or 'downward adjustment' in his age.
Y'know what? I've had trouble with some of the statements I make in MY OWN profile. I freely admit to being old, ugly and poor...why do some people infer from that that I'm also lonely desperate and willing to carry their sorry loser ass?? Give me a break...pass that guy over there that bowl of "sense of humor", please; he surely needs a helping!!

Posted: 8/31/2006 11:45:12 AM | To avoid age discrimination. Duh Some people don't want to date people who are 10 and 15 years older than they are ... no matter how "young at heart" you think you are or how "young" you think you may look.
I don't want to date a man too much older than me because most of them either have no energy or have let themselves go. However, they think they are the "million dollar prize". One guy I recently met lied about his height, his weight, and his ability to even get around.
In fact he has been so overweight for so long that his knees are "mush" and he can hardly walk ... he was 3 inches shorter than he said in his profile ... and has all kinds of medical problems related to being out of shape for so long ... diabetes and heart problems.
Actually it's silly and childish to lie about anything ... and the people (men and women) who do this are setting themselves up for the "woe is me" thread. Both genders lie about things and then when the perspective partner finds out ... they get dumped for lying.
Next thing you know, they're in the threads complaining about being "dumped" and how "innocent" they are and "why doesn't anyone want me" and "the opposite sex are so mean and show no respect" ... yadda, yadda, yadda. | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 6:26:27 PM | Actually, think about the internet and how searches are done, then, think about a man who would still like the opportunity to fall in love AND possibly have a child. If a 45 year old man is only found by 40+ year old women, most of these women are not looking to have children so, a man may have to list his age as 38, for example, at least to be found in a "search" by women in their 30's, prime child bearing years. Pretty easy to understand and even better if said man had exceptional genes, cute and in shape! And since we're being HONEST here, c'mon, women are NOTORIOUS for lying about age, boobs, lips and everything else!  | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 9:20:23 PM | I haven't lied about my age but I have been tempted....perhaps for the same reason that women lie about their age.
The recent tendency of many women to "desire" boy toys by only wanting men juch younger than they are or the tendency to "assume" that anyone over a certain age is decrepit and unworthy of consideration as dating material.
Finally I realized there are "plenty of fish" in the sea and I should not even be concerned with the women who are so insecure and shallow. I have also realized that there are woman who have been so jaded by men who have lied and manipulated the online experience that they are a bit cynical about the process.
So I communicate and meet a decent percentage of the people I email and have dated a smaller percentage and hope to one day meet the one that will make dating a former experience. I have met some nice ladies that have become friends but just never moved into the romance category for a variety of reasons. | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 10:02:15 PM | | People ..........or FISH .... the bottomline is ........ PEOPLE LIE ...... about almost everything on this forum .... as I have come to discover! They lie about their height, weight, age, their interests, their incomes, their present situations as far as relationships ... they could be totally envolved in other relationships ..... EVEN MARRIED ..... and still lie about it ..... so what else is new! Play safe .... be wise and know that nothing in life is a given as you only get out life what you are prepared to give and accept. Just be true to yourself .... afterall .... you are not responsible for anyone else other then yourself! | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 10:01:32 AM | WAIT A MINUTE! I used to think that women were the fair sex and decent and honest.
Instead, on every site, they lie about their age , post photos from as much as 20 years, turn out to living with a husband, smoke when they say they don't, etc.
So please don't ask why MEN lie; ask why so many people of both genders lie. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 11:02:05 AM | | have run in to that with one person on here.....said he was 37, actually older then that.....gave no reason or explanation for the lie but if you are already lying about your age you are probably lying about some other things. turned out to be a player big time. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 11:26:29 AM | I will NOT talk to someone who is lying on their profile to fit into the "criteria" of women whose searches they want to show up on...especially if they wouldn't have shown up there in the first place. A 50 year old guy using 45 in his profile will show up on my search, but I'm not giving him the time of day, because if he's already showing signs of being sneaky and underhanded, I have no desire to know him.
On another site, I was starting to find a new trend of men of different races putting "caucasian" in as their race, I guess so they could show up in the searches of caucasian women? I don't know ANY other reason to do something like that. If someone else knows one good reason to do something like that, please let me know. (but in any case, do they think women won't notice something like that?) | |

Because they want you to think they are the age they put on their profile... seems a bit obvious.
How much do you weigh? | |

I see, so it is all about what the man wants? If a woman in her late 20's/early 30's doesn't want to meet or date a man in his mid 40's, lying is OK because the man wants a family? That is kind of interesting logic there. If the man is such a great catch, then a woman will snatch him up regardless of his age. Lying about your age is a huge red flag that there is some underlying insecurity. | |
