Posted: 1/9/2008 9:41:30 PM | Ok I'll admit it
I lied about my age
I'm really 32
I just didn't want all the younger women chasing me
What good does lying about anything do? The truth will come out sooner or later. When you get older you have less time to waste so why waste it lying? | |

Posted: 1/10/2008 10:48:10 AM | I think you have to be 16 to have a my space but I could be wrong... all the kids seem to have them and I have concerns about that in regards to kids. So I have a my space that connects to all my kids and some of their friends and some of my friends kids, I check up on them just to make sure they are not saying too much as far as personal information.
Now for us, I'm NOT down with Lying at all. Shoot if your young at heart (arn't we all) say so! I rather know a guys hung up on 20 year olds so I can meet a fellow who appreciates my years of experience!!! | |

Posted: 1/10/2008 1:10:28 PM | Yeah, that's what she said. My space has a minimum of 16.
On another note, I don't see how a guy in his 40's could possibly be interested in a girl in her 20's unless he is thinking only of himself. Maybe I should've, could've, would've on a couple of occasions, but I always came to the conclusion we would be ruining each others lives since she would want kids and I have already had mine.
But then again, I don't proceed with anyone with whom I don't feel has at least the potential for long term. MHO | |

Posted: 1/10/2008 4:22:16 PM | A lie is a lie....no matter WHAT the intent. I could probably shave a couple of years off my age, too......but at some point you have to admit to the lie, and I'd rather just TELL THE TRUTH!!!!
I still get a lot of email from men in the 32-45 age range. (And some a lot younger than that.....) But I am 43 years old.....it's not going to change and it IS just a number. | |

Posted: 1/10/2008 5:47:24 PM | | If you think you look so good that you could get away with saying you are younger, why not just tell the truth, prevail when compared to those in your true age pool, and avoid being called a liar? If you lie, you put yourself sort of in the position of being like a small fish in a big pond, rather than telling the truth and being a big fish in a small pond. Hey, I'm glad to be 48...the alternative to getting older is death. | |

Posted: 1/10/2008 10:26:00 PM | To Naughty in message 17, you said :
"can we think of some way to actually stop people from lieing about their age?"
Yes, I honestly believe it's the one function they should disable or you choose catagory:Whichever one a person feels comfortable choosing, without having to give out a number
Age 20-35
Age 25-40
Age 35-50
Age 45-60
...but the catch should be that they MUST submit a recent photo holding a newspaper for some kind of reference LOL | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 6:01:15 PM | I met a man on another site who (not having posted his picture) shave 10 years off his age. He DID email me pics, in which he looked older than the 42 years he admitted to, but I didn't comment. We met for lunch and it was glaringly apparent in person that he was lying about his age. He said he did that so he didn't scare off the younger women. 
I really had no desire to continue a relationship with this man, not because of his age, but because he LIED and decided NOT to see him again. Turned out to be a good choice, because 2 months later I got a call from his WIFE, who raked me over the coals about my relationship with her husband. YEEK!! He had lied about his marital status.....turns out he hadn't even given me his real name.
Jill :)
p.s. He's here on POF, too, and up to the same BS..... | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 6:33:16 PM | And then there's the gem I had just before Christmas.....
Profile said he was in his late forties. HE WAS SIXTY. And the picture wasn't him and someone else wrote the profile for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.....
I never would have wasted my dime had he been honest with me and now that the dime and the time are gone I feel like he owes me! Yeah, that's it..... when men or women do this, and waste our precious time, they need to send us gifts...... and I mean big, expensive gifts....
MODS, see to this please.... my time is just not going to be wasted by this nonsense anymore!!! I have better things to do with my time.... like, eh..... post on the forums here....
OK, never mind. | |

Posted: 1/12/2008 8:05:37 PM | Actually....it would be a quarter........
OT.........I can not tell you how many do stretch their age one way or the other on here, as they do their weight, height, pictures, availability, on and on.......
If the pictures are recent, and are truly you, the age is not an issue.....if you look good enough to attract me, and it is really you, and I attract you, and it is really me, then what it the problem?
Just my opinion.......   | |

Posted: 1/15/2008 4:15:24 AM | I have broused a hundred profiles or wait? Maybe 1000 profiles and noticed a number of women have an email filter "under 45" . I personally might want to talk to a woman thats got the "under 45" email filter.My 73 year old dad could run circles around some of the women thats got the "under 45" email filter.That still doesn't make me not want to talk to them. I'd fudge a year or 2 to talk to someone if I found their profile interesting,and I was attracted to what I seen in their picture(s). I shaved nearly 2 years on the 14th day I created this profile.Now I'm stuck with my age thats posted.Doesn't hurt my feelings a bit if a woman wants to shave a few years off her profile age. I prefer to talk to older attractive women.There is a handful of exceptions.
Not everyone ages as gracefully as other's.I certainly know of a few women I've talked to on this site thats in their 50's thats just yummy as any I've seen in their 30's or 40's.I think alot of it in my opinion is the frame of mind.Good genes and self care stands for a lot. I do not think that because someone fudges a year or 2 means they are going to be lieing about every other topic that 2 people would talk about. If someone posts a little bit different location than they really reside in for safty perposes,,does that mean they're lieing about all other topics? I hardly think so. But then again thats only my opinion.That doesn't mean my opinion is right or wrong.. IT'S ONLY MY OPINION. | |

Posted: 1/15/2008 4:45:18 AM | Get a grip man. Women lie about there age all the time. Why do you think the cosmetic industry is so successful? I don't think it has anything to do with out right lying. I thinks it more about vanity. If she is 40 and she looks and acts 30 or 35, and has the body mind and spirit to pull it off who cares? If she is a manipulator, well there are other ways to do that besides her age. I search in a broad age range because if you narrow it down to close you might miss someone that is truly amazing.

Posted: 1/29/2008 8:02:56 AM | Had to go back and search for this topic....perfect opportunity to tell you what I saw when a woman did this on her ad:
----------------------------------
No crazies, please... Bottom line... I'm not 39, and just because that number comes up in the search does not make me dishonest, as one crazy has accused me of. The number is there just because of the search range, for obvious reasons. We don't all fall apart after 39...
WOULD ANY OF Y'ALL BE LOOKING IF YOU KNEW I WAS 45!!!
-----------------------------------
Well, at least she mentions that in her ad, would that make a difference, and not be considere dlying?
What I really get a kick out of is this:
------------------------------------
I don't feel the need to sell myself on this site. I am what I am, and you either like me or you don't. It won't hurt my feelings the slightest bit if you don't like me. It's all about chemistry. I won't take it personal, believe me!!!!
-----------------------------------
She doesn't feel the need to SELL herself, yet she lies about her age in to get more search options for men to email her. | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 7:52:32 AM | I AM AN AGE LIAR.
i do not want to be left out of the searches of younger women so for 6 months i said in my profile "48 is not my age". recently a woman who i was serious about dumped me when on our first phone conversation i told her i was 56. she said she thought the phrase "i am not 48" was supposed to be humorous. she did not like the lie and thought i was too old for her. she did the math thing where she said 10 yrs from now i'll be 48 and you'll be 66, if you lied about that you'll lie about other things, etc. i gave her truthful intimate details of my life and finances because she was burned by a guy before me.
i still have 48 on my profile age but i have put this caveat in my text on the first paragraph:
"my age is not 48 i am 56. i didn't want to be left out of any searches. i hope in your heart you understand and forgive me for this. i prefer and am best suited for women in the 25 to 45 age group." NOTHING but the truth after this.
i have a much younger lifestyle than my age. i like hiphop music and danceclubs. what woman my age will go clubbing, jump off the cliffs at nelson ledges quarry, go see ludicris or fiddycent or ride the coasters all day at kennywood? i have incredible energy and stamina. i get along very well with young women in their 20's, 30's and 40's.
WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN THIS MEDIUM? tell the truth and have lots of women i don't want emailing me or do what i'm doing in the hopes that a younger woman will see something in my pictures and profile that she likes.
what are your opinions YOUNGER WOMEN?

Posted: 9/22/2008 8:10:00 AM | I never cared what my age was, or who knew about it. I tend to like a specific age range....for the most part it is what it is. You can change your age in searches, then you can admit it in your profile and some will be ok with that.
Personally, I won't - it's not the age, it's the mentality. If I have a search criteria up and people are in it that don't belong there, I don't care if they admit it or why they did it. It's a turn off...and I'm done with someone who does this...because I don't do this myself.
There are men who search for women younger than me - that means I am in an age range that they don't consider. PERIOD.
If I went around that and tried to show up in their searches, I'd be assuming I know better than they do what they want...which would not only make me dishonest, but arrogant and presumptuous - and that'd probably make me undateable.
It'd also mean I was so worried about finding a date or being part of a couple that it'd be justified TO ME to do something like this. Ick. On the contrary, if I can't date within the range I prefer, then I guess I just won't date at all. I could care less. I don't put that much of a crisis attitude on it.
If you don't want to date in your age range and you want younger (and cut off older than yourself), be prepared that those you are seeking will want younger than them also (which edges you out of their preferences), and accept this. It goes both ways. Be realistic about it - being dishonest about who you are only makes your chances worse, no matter how you rationalize it in your mind. | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 8:25:14 AM | | I don't understand the problem we have with age in the country. Your preference is for younger women which is your right. I prefer younger men, but do not preclude an interesting man of a certain age, closer to my age or older. I refuse to lie about my age because its silly, eventually you are going to meet a contact and there you are for all the world to see, I'm not 25. Do I wish I were again, of course, but been there, done that..Every day is new and exciting and I have a very different world view and am comfortable in my own skin, finally..You asked for an opinion from a younger, woman, sorry I'm 60 and it is what it is--Good luck | |

Posted: 9/22/2008 8:29:54 AM | How about everyone just be honest in who they are, what thier age is, and all the things about themselves?
Somebody might just like you for the "real" you.....
And yes, I have had at least two guys on here lie about thier age. One said he was 54, and was actualy 64...and another who said he was 45, and was actualy 28....
And when I found out they lied, yes, I dumped thier lying asses! If they are going to lie to me about something so small, then what else are they going to lie to me about?
By the way...I am 53 and counting.... backwards of course..... | |
