Posted: 7/3/2006 3:10:37 PM | Hey Greeneyes, it's about honesty..... Men and women with what they post here SHOULD be a little cautious. My height, weight, hair/eye color, just the filler. What I like and don't like is the deal breaker. If they lie now, quess what, probaly lie later.
be sweet, happy  | |

Posted: 7/3/2006 4:22:20 PM | So, y'all say it's about lying and not age, eh?
After getting bloody on this thread haranguing a minority position, I decided to engage in a little social engineering experiment. Partially out of protest and partially out of 'well let's see what happens, my dance card can't get any emptier anyway', I changed my profile to say I am 95, the maximum allowable variable on the form.
Funny thing.... I've been getting a lot more email, ALL of it saying "I know you're not 95, and I think you're _______ (<--- various assessments of dance card suitabiltiy).
:::::cue madrigal music announcing at least the remote possibility of a Cupid event:::::
So I play coy and don't say what my age is on the first go 'round. Keep in mind here, I'm NOT looking for a mate, just friends. So I'll try to keep the conversation at a platonic level. But if the women who are contacting me _first_ are so puked about lying and *not* age, why is it that when I finally tell them that "I'm around the half century mark"......
:::::::sounds of crickets chirping at midnight::::::
Granted, some of the emails are from people half my age. As much as I'd like to believe that's no impediment to good email conversations or 'just friends', it apparently IS about age.
I'm told I have a baby face. I've made a religion of staying out of the sun and trying to hold on to youthful looks, apparently with a modicum of success. I don't have any lines in my face. Even when I was recuperating from a life-threatening illness that had me, at one point, down to 130 lbs, once I bulked back up, even some medical professionals thought I was too young to fit the profile of a sufferer of my medical condition.
So puzzle me this: why do I get bites when people KNOW I'm lying, but get cut off at the knees and ignored when I tell the truth. D'ya think maybe people DO have an age bias after all and are using this honesty crap as an excuse?

Posted: 7/3/2006 5:35:55 PM | So puzzle me this: why do I get bites when people KNOW I'm lying, but get cut off at the knees and ignored when I tell the truth. D'ya think maybe people DO have an age bias after all and are using this honesty crap as an excuse? There's no question about it that people have an age bias ... however, when they state clearly and openly in their profile what ages they think they might be interested in, I no longer consider that as a "bias", rather I would like to consider it as a "preference". We are all entitled to our "preferences" no matter what the reason for having them.
If you are getting "cut off at the knees and ignored" when you tell the truth, then it is only by those ladies who do not consider your age to be "right" or "appropriate" for them ... no one else. I would venture to say that is a select few when one considers how many ladies actually "play" on this site.
"I'm around the half century mark"...... You are a cute guy and for me, a man being close to the half century mark is quite desireable as I am 57 years old ... NO LIE. This thread really is about "lying" and not age, although many have tried to make it about age.
Im positive that the OP ... although stating an age preference in her profile ... is truly more concerned about the lying part than the age part. Please keep in mind that there are ladies who do not state and have no real preferences about age ... they would probably be inclined to respond to your profile no matter what age you have listed.
So although you may think you have proved something here by blatantly lying about your age on your profile ... in reality, you have proved only that there are some ladies who will contact a guy no matter what it says on their profile ... and (cough, cough) you have proved that some ladies will use any excuse there is to contact a guy even if it's just to challenge the age listed in the profile.
Please keep in mind ... my response to your post is not meant in a mean way. And I honestly do think you are cute ... just not on target with what this thread is really about.

Posted: 7/3/2006 5:58:51 PM | Hey Kerry !!!
Funny you mention that here today. I did a little "experiment" of my own. Great minds, I guess. I removed ALL of my email filters. OH DEAR !! I'll just say this: I know me. And I know me, well!!! It's been a bombardment of things. What I have found, is that with the exception of three men older than myself (one 44, one 43 and one a few months older) it just doesn't flow. I'm not talking about physical appearance because many of those people didn't have pictures. And I DID NOT view profiles prior to the mail, I did not view the profile until I attempted communication a couple of rounds. It just doesn't work. The emails were awkward and tense and I had nothing in common with ANY of those people much older than myself. There were a number of younger men that were also in the "did not work" category, for other reasons. Truthfully ~ I was hoping to be surprised. I was not. As I have stated all along here, I just know what works for me. And it's a generational thing. There is just a vast difference. In addition, my husband that died would have been 33 this year ~ we worked. Same mind set, same time zone more or less. To this day, those I "fit" best with are younger. I tried. And I did it honestly. It's just not there. The 44 year old is wonderful. I didn't see his picture for at least 5-10 emails, great guy. Not sure we are even remotely on the same page ~ he's beautiful ~ body builder, beautiful face ~ BUT...I think I'm more cerebral than he is. That tells me it's about more than age or beauty. Ultimately, I don't know what the answer is. I'm going to just remain in limbo, missing my husband and call it good!! I completely appreciate your post though ~ I don't get it either. I think the reality is: dating just sucks. No matter how old, young, thin, chubby, smart, silly, it's the same for us all. Tough!!! 
~OT~ My little experiment did tell me one thing: Lying is sooooo common. I had NO real clue when I posted this thread. Not only age, but height, weight, status, etc. It's rampant. Sad really. I was a little naive. I'm not now!!!  | |

Whew...Aint that the damn truth!!!!...and the older you get,the suckier (is that a word?) it becomes!!! Well .... maybe I just don't see it that way for many reasons. For sure, I am no "Pollyanna", but I guess I don't even start any "relationship" with the idea of dating.
I meet folks (men) who then become good friends and eventually some evolve into a dating situation. My philosophy is that in order to have a relationship with someone, one must first be good friends. That is the foundation. Like a foundation for a house ... if it is weak, the house won't stand for long ... or perhaps not as long as it was designed to stand.
True ... I do not always have long ... really long ... relationships with men. But I've always managed to stay good friends with them even at the point in which we decide things are not going to work for us romantically. I treasure those friendships.
I have four children and I beat that "friendship first" thing into their heads for many years ... it stuck with three of the four. Three out of four is not bad! My youngest and oldest daughter were extremely good friends with the men they married ... long before they became romantic with each other. The middle daughter has not yet learned ... I hope she will. My son never got married and has since passed away, but I observed him in different relationships with the young ladies he befriended. He was always good friends with them long before he ever got intimate with them.
Here on POF ... I play in the forums ... make friends and am happy with that. If I meet "Mr. Right" in the process ... then woo hoo! In the meantime ... I have a host of people I interact with on a regular basis and it gives my life meaning to have gotten to know them.

Posted: 7/3/2006 10:14:54 PM | Cotter ~ you have the right idea. It is friendship first. And I have a rule about breaking up which is in regard to remaining friends. So far, it hasn't failed yet. I think if and when I jump back into the whole ordeal, it will have to be with someone I consider a friend, and most likely someone I've known for a very long time. I'm a tad freaked out by the whole lying thing. But ~ as usual, you make good points!!
I'm so sorry about your son. | |

Posted: 7/3/2006 11:26:28 PM | WOW!!! Some inciteful stuff learned...I am glad to see it.
One thing, I am sorry I can't let go....
Cotter ! You have repeatedly said that this thread "is not about age but about lying". I find it distasteful that a thread that you did not start and that specifically contains in its title that it is about "MEN"...note somehow Women are excluded in this lying...."age 50 +" be categorized presumptuously as "only about lying"
I find it rather distasteful that you keep insisting it is not about age.
Now back to the age thing and lying. I see comments here relate to someone who was extremely deceptive about their age.....and this is used to generalize everyone as liars if they do not give an exact description ..precisely....and if they do not they are LIARS in every aspect of their life.
But what about someone who forgot to update their birthday on here ?? Or someone who has not posted a new pic in 6 months....god!! they have gotten a wrinkle that was not there 6 months ago...or what about someone who is actually 40 but wishes to stay 39 for one more year.....I suppose they are all despicable deceitful scum ! Right??
I hate to date myself further (LOL!! Seeing this is a thread about age ) but i guess this would mean Jack Benny was one of the distasteful people ever alive as I think he died in his 70's still at the age of 39....you old timers will get this!!
My point is really , that when you set hard and fast rules for you and others WITH NO FLEXIBILITY ...you LOSE and shut out opportunity. I do not condone lying...hell there are enough totally false profiles I have discovered on here that I think that it is down right disgusting...but to sweat that someone says they are 39 instead of 40 and to hard and fast rule out everyone 40 but think 39 is ok...just does not seem reasonable.
Preferences are just that ..." I prefer" ...not " I insist"....they should imply some flexibility....and not be rigid. I would "prefer" that people put in their profile something like " I have found my ideal dating range to be between 5 years older or younger" . Then see where it goes. But to put up a perimeter of say 39 and not allow any 40 year old person to even send you a 'hello" does not sit right with me.

True ... I did not start this thread but have been with it pretty much from the beginning ... also do not wish to wade through all 22 pages in order to find the exact message where the OP specifically states (and she has done it numerous times) that in fact this thread is about nothing else but lying! So sorry that you missed those posts.
Quote ... ... and this is used to generalize everyone as liars if they do not give an exact description ..precisely....and if they do not they are LIARS in every aspect of their life.
Actually there has been a general agreement through expereince among other things, that if one lies about the small things, they are probably lying about other things too. So, yes, that makes them a liar.
Quote ... But what about someone who forgot to update their birthday on here ??

Right??
Whether or not you will like this next statement, I feel compelled to state it: Nit pickers on the threads in the forums here are always appreciated! We need to get you a job in a candy factory picking holes in life savers ... have you looked into that? Anybody out there know of a candy factory we can refer this man to?
Quote ... ... but to sweat that someone says they are 39 instead of 40 and to hard and fast rule out everyone 40 but think 39 is ok...just does not seem reasonable.
Apparently it does to those who use that site tool ... and as has been pointed out many times in previous posts (again) quite to the agreement of many of us more sensible posters ... we are all entitled to use whatever screening "tool" this site has offered us without having to be flamed or blasted for using it.
Quote ... I would "prefer" that people put in their profile something like "I have found my ideal dating range to be between 5 years older or younger" . Then see where it goes. But to put up a perimeter of say 39 and not allow any 40 year old person to even send you a ''''''''''''hello" does not sit right with me.
Then the proper place to address this issue is with admin. and not in the threads. I encourage you to go straight to admin., do not pass go, do not collect 200 brownie points (because no one awards brownie points to hard A$$ nit pickers), and voice your opinions there.
We are limited to the tools that are provided on this site ... if admin. sees fit to provide us with more tools to state our preferences ... I''''m sure there are folks who would be glad to use them. By the way ... no one is stopping you from putting just that in your profile. Here''''s a suggestion ... "I would prefer that only ignorant ladies who like being nit picked send me emails ..."
I noticed on your profile that you left "profession" blank ... I have still another suggestion: "Professional Nit Picker".

Cotter has been in this thread for months, and like any other poster, has just as much right to keep it ON TOPIC as anyone else. Without that, and considering all of the flaming that went on previously, I''''''''m certain this thread would have been deleted or, at best, shut down.
I find it rather distasteful that you keep insisting it is not about age.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I started this thread (my first thread for that matter) and it is about lying. It is about 6 and then 7 men who lied to me about their ages. Plain and simple, like it or not ~ those are the facts and the reason behind this thread.
Now back to the age thing and lying. I see comments here relate to someone who was extremely deceptive about their age.....and this is used to generalize everyone as liars if they do not give an exact description ..precisely....and if they do not they are LIARS in every aspect of their life.
No, it is NOT overgeneralizing. The entire thread was a personal bashing of me, most often, because I choose NOT to meet/date older men and the fact that when I did go against my better judgment, it bit me in the a$$, more than once. And yes, they were everyday liars. If you lie about you age, you are taking years out of your life. I''''''''ll ask again ~ which years get deleted? Bad financial years? Married years? Years while in a Federal Pen for fraud? It''''''''s a fact, if you are lying about your age ~ you are lying about your life, or at least parts of your life.
But what about someone who forgot to update their birthday on here ?? Or someone who has not posted a new pic in 6 months....god!! they have gotten a wrinkle that was not there 6 months ago...or what about someone who is actually 40 but wishes to stay 39 for one more year.....I suppose they are all despicable deceitful scum ! Right??
If someone forgets to update their birthday, fine. That would be an oversight. HOWEVER, being 54 and putting 49 is NOT an oversight. It is a deliberate attempt to gain more attention because that person hasn''''''''t rolled over into the 50ish category. If you read this thread, you will see where it is admitted many many times that people put 49 because 50 is seen as distasteful to some. Not my reason, the reason some posters here have done that exact action.
I hate to date myself further (LOL!! Seeing this is a thread about age ) but i guess this would mean Jack Benny was one of the distasteful people ever alive as I think he died in his 70''''''''s still at the age of 39....you old timers will get this!!

You are, again, entitled to your opinion. For me personally ~ I don''t see my preferences shutting out anything. I know what works for me. I''m sorry if others don''t understand that. And I''m even more sorry that they insist on telling me (or anyone else for that matter) WHY I shouldn''t have my preferences.
Preferences are just that ..." I prefer" ...not " I insist"....they should imply some flexibility....and not be rigid. I would "prefer" that people put in their profile something like " I have found my ideal dating range to be between 5 years older or younger" . Then see where it goes. But to put up a perimeter of say 39 and not allow any 40 year old person to even send you a ''''''''hello" does not sit right with me.
"And that is all I have to say on that" Forrest Gump
My profile, at one time, specified "I prefer those my age or younger, but that is NOT a rule. Merely a preference." And I got overwhelmed with people trying to tell me why they were the exception. I''''''''ve been single nearly 7 years (with exception of my time married to a man who was taken suddenly after only a short period of time) and I know what I want, what I can offer in return and the age group I am comfortable with. If you read enough of this thread to know Cotter was trying to stay on topic, you would have read my reasons for feeling as I do.
~OT~ Whether or not it was stated a thousand times, I will again state. I posted this thread out of perplexity. Obviously, that has changed. I am now much more educated on why/how those lies happened (to me specifically) and I am also less naive than I was when I first ventured back online. The fact remains: If someone is lying about something as silly as age, they are lying about other things. Age is a combination of the years we have been alive. Unless someone was in a coma, those years had experiences in them that contributed to "who" they are. When you take years off, and attempt to play off a younger age, you are deleting sections of your life. Plain and simple ~ one lie leads to many others. To each their own. I found the solution to my issue with this and whatever anyone else does is NONE of my business unless they choose to tell me. I don''''''''t have an opinion on what age works for others ~ I only know what works for me. | |

Dishonesty and age bias are two different issues. I find it strange that using one to overcome the other actually works. But it does. Sometimes it takes a little trickery to help us break down the walls we build. And yes, the honesty crap often helps us avoid dealing head on with our biases.
The obvious lie about your age is intriguing, as is much of your profile. Is there any truth in your profile? Or is the Evil Kerry just an illusion? | |

The obvious lie about your age is intriguing, as is much of your profile. Is there any truth in your profile? Or is the Evil Kerry just an illusion?
I'm fairly certain D.H. Lawrence wrote "Weep Not Whales." Could probably prove it on a dare, too. And the rest? I'll bet you're thinking, "Was this profile just a flash in the pan, or can he do it again?" Well, I'm feeling particularly evil today, and since we're on the subject of 'lit-trit-chure', let's explore Profiles Rewritten by the Evil Kerry in the Hand of Selected Immortals, shall we?
In the style of Ernest Hemingway:
"It had been one of those threads. One of those threads when it was impossible
to tell whether a honest profile had actually surfaced in the grim, shifting seas of
Plenty of Fish. He had a profile. It was a POF profile. It was a good
POF profile, a manly POF profile, a POF profile for men. He cast out his
lure and sent a post, sitting in the hard wooden chair, feeling the
it creak beneath him with the rocking, swaying motions of the great
electronic sea.
A bite, an answering post. He reeled, cautiously at first and then with
greater abandon, until his realization that he was in deeper waters than
he he had ever known before filled him with a sense of panic. Drowning in the
contempt of the massed clued monsters of the deep, he would not long live
to regret posting a less-than-1000%-honest profile to POF instead of a shallower
and less dangerous shoal..."
Or, on the other end of the spectrum, in the style of Charlotte Bronte:
"Of course, it was a well-appointed young profile of exquisite breeding and
taste, but when deep within the firm, sensual grasp of POF, it
became flighty to the point of distraction; flustered, befuddled and as
bothered as a flower under the gentle caress of the gardener who's tender
ministrations may sometimes pluck a bud as well as repair a stem.
"Does anyone hear me at all?" it thought breathlessly. "Can it be that my
voice has become lost in the intensity of the passion of this thread, that my words are
unheeded in the animal grip of our shared communion?"
Seizing control of the keyboard it posted a quick test, deliberately
concealing the depth of its emotion with the phrase "don't pay attention
to my age". All of this however, was merely a blind for the words
that forced themselves against its trembling lips - "Will you marry me?""
Or how about something a bit more contemporary? In the style of Clint Eastwood movies:
"I know what you're thinking... did he lie one time or six. And to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've forgotten myself. But seeing that this is POF, the most powerful dating service in the world and could blow your heart completely away, you have to ask yourself: Do I feel lucky? Well, do you?"
There. Does *this* answer your question? And stuff? :)

Posted: 7/19/2006 8:34:33 AM | I think this is just another case of both genders getting culturally closer together: lying about one's age--vanity, vanity--how vain our vanity.
The truly ironic problem is that people age differently--some will not 'look' 50 at 50 and others will look 50 at 30! Part of it is diet, exercise, smoking,etc but some is genetic.
So, all the lying is useless(in vain).

Posted: 7/19/2006 5:55:14 PM | Nothing changes the fact that if you lie about a petty thing like age just to get the attention of someone who really has stated they are not interested in dating a person your age ... they are bound to find out the truth and ...
... simply dismiss you for your dishonesty.
The thread is about lying ... not age. It's the lying that has many of us so incensed! Others appear to be able to easily dismiss it. I ... for one ... cannot. Misrepresentation in any form is deceitful and there is no room for that in any relationship based on trust.
Why would anyone risk lying about how old they are to try to gain the trust of someone or better yet to try to pursue an eventual life-long relationship? If a person openly states their preferences and you do not fall within those perameters ... then move on! There is bound to be someone else out there that you will appeal to in which you do fall into their perameters.
Why pursue something that in the end will not work out ... especially once the person learns of the deceit involved? C'mon people ... it's not "rocket science"!!!! | |

Oooooh, I'm sooooo scared. Besides the fact that I'm not looking to _date_, I've decided to take a stand on this issue and say "Ask me no secrets and I'll tell you no lies." And the funny thing is, I've gotten more email now that I lie about my age in my profile and admit it openly.
So there....
The thread is about lying ... not age. It's the lying that has many of us so incensed! Others appear to be able to easily dismiss it. I ... for one ... cannot.
It's your toybox, kick it all you want. And you can dismiss my experience all you want, too. I don't mind a bit that you can't seem to come up with an explanation. :)
Misrepresentation in any form is deceitful and there is no room for that in any relationship based on trust.
"Sorry, not tonight, I have a headache."
Why would anyone risk lying about how old they are to try to gain the trust of someone or better yet to try to pursue an eventual life-long relationship?

Nor it is it rocket science to observe that people get passed up for a LOT less. And that the deceived can often be just a little more clever about keeping their deceptions hidden than they are willing to admit while they preach about others' peccadilloes.
I have no illusions whatsoever that the Internet is going to deliver to me a ready-made soulmate. It's only a fishing expedition; the rest, should it ever happen, will be a result of years of emotional work. THAT is where the 'rocket science' comes into play. And in the meantime, I'm just here to play-- 'cos if it has to be like a job interview, count me out.

Posted: 7/20/2006 9:23:46 AM | Kerry ~ I agree. If someone chooses to lie about their age ~ great. I just know, from personal experience, I will find out and no matter how nice, attractive, etc., he is, it's over. Right now. Not later, not maybe ~ it's over.
If I am not comfortable with my age, weight, height, intelligence, etc., then I need to stop worrying about the opposite sex and work on me. Baiting people to me by lying is a recipe for disaster. I have no interest in lying to someone else and I won't tolerate it when it's done to me. To each their own, but I would have to consider the ilk of that person. And furthermore, why even attempt to attract people who clearly have personal preferences that just aren't me? Do I wanted tricked into meeting someone ~ heavens NO. When I see a profile in which he wants children, that leaves me out. When I see a profile that clearly states he only accepts mail from women under 40, that leaves me out ~ click, problem solved. If he wants long term...out. If he wants intimate encounters, out again. The list is endless ~ I could lie to those people...why???? I'm not what they seek. That just saved me the trouble of getting to know someone to find out in the end that I am not what they are looking for. What a waste of time.
Again, there are plenty of women/men who do not care about age. But, I'll bet they do care about being lied to. JMO  | |
