Enigma,
What a stupid man! He expected you to like him after lying about his age by 17 years?! What a waste of your time!
Exotic, s65, it very rarely works if someone lies right at the beginning.
Cheryl, both are as bad as each other, lying about both age or body
I worked with someone who was obese, he lost loads of weight for a surgery. His facial features changed, then he put all the weight back on. He Put his slimmer pictures in Tinder, he got many first dates and not a second. I still remember him saying why don't I get a second date?! 🤦🏻

Under promise and over deliver. It’s not a bad rule of thumb. If you think that you’re a ten in some areas, but only a five in others, rate yourself a five - and let your prospective partner be the judge of how wonderful you are. Your personality, demonstrated here on the forums, will shine through, and you will find someone. And that someone will be delighted when they find that you’re far more than you advertised. If you bullshit then you’ll only be a disappointment when you’re found out - and there’s no recovering from that!

I don’t know which is worse. Significantly lying about your age, or significantly lying about your physical self?

Again, this applies to both genders. Don’t do it.

If they came clean at first meet and we get on, yes, I can probably overlook it ... it's when they act as if they haven't lied that puts me off.

@boav91

He actually wanted me to stay and chat to see if we “clicked” and if there was “chemistry”🫣🤷🏼‍♀️.
I said… “Oh there’s chemistry all right. A chemical reaction happening in my stomach right now and not in a good way”. 🤢

But there are other details on profiles which get lied about too… 🙄.

@laugar164

Well let’s put it this way…
I wasn’t hanging around to find out where or how much life he had left in him 🤣😂🫤🫣

In my former life here several years ago, I met a fantastic lady, who admitted to me when we met, that she had 'shaved' 9 years off her actual age. Her profile pic was in black and white which should have been a bit of a giveaway. But hey! aren't most of us here cheating anyway?
In any case, our first meeting was a success and we ended up enjoying each other's company for several months.
So perhaps age is just a number after all?

Only for the gents?
In my case, the time has come where it doesn't really matter if I tried to shave a couple of years off.
I'd still be too old for the vast majority on here anyway!

I once met someone who did look like his photo BUT at least TWENTY years older ... he actually said to me "see I look just like my photo" ... I thought to myself yes but very much older ... however, I was too polite to say it out loud ... 😇

I have the correct age on my profile even though I could easily shave 5 or even 10 years off it ... what's the point though ... I am me ... take it or leave it 🤷🏻‍♀️

How do people expect to get away with that. Just nuts. A year or two I can understand but 17 years. OMG

I didn’t realise it was that bad. Wow
