Catfishing

Catfishing I'm wondering why there are so many people on this site who feel the need to blatantly lie about their age on their profile. I'm referring to men and women who claim to be much younger than their real age. I had the unfortunate experience of meeting one of these liars few years ago. I'm curious. If you were chatting with someone you thought was in your preferred age range and decided to meet them only to discover they were much older, (9-10 years) how would you handle it? Would you forgive them for lying or would it be a deal breaker? |

I can accept fudging 2 - 3 years for ID security reasons, especially since the inter/web/net is so porous. 9 or more is just wrong. Of course I've become pretty jaded so I really don't believe much that is on the inter/web/nets. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Deal breaker, no doubt! Keep the year and zodiac sign, but eh fudge the date if need be, I guess that's fine, but many years off...is no way to start off!  Greater Than The Sum Of My Constituent Parts!

Don't know what they're trying to accomplish. If there's no intention of meeting no bigge! There are so many that say I look and feel young for my age or everyone I meet tells me I look much younger than I really am. So what they're really saying is that they're a liar and everybody that runs into them is a liar and since I'm not a liar I won't be meeting them. But when you do meet and it's blatantly obvious they need to be called out on it then ask if they need any help to their car before doing so make sure they have medical alert and it's in working order! Using more than all the road!

I was talking to a guy at a meet and greet recently and we were discussing birthdates etc... he said he was born in 1963. I checked his profile and it said he was 42. The sad thing was that he really could have passed for 42. A few days later I looked again and he had reverse-aged and his profile now says he's 38. Another guy that I dated from here 6 years ago had a profile age listed of 48 but then fessed up on our first date that he was realy 54 but he FELT 48. Just lying about that simple thing made me feel disinterested in him right away. I noticed he's back on the site now, showed up in my new member feed and guess how old he's claiming to be? Yup, still 48. Ugh.

I met someone from this site that I suspected had lied about his age. After a bit of checking, I found out he shaved about 10 years off his age, possibly more. He also lied about a couple of other things....that I know about. I'm sure there are probably others I know nothing about. But that's OK. He can do whatever he wants.....as long as it's with someone else. I no longer speak to him and he's blocked from contacting me. I can understand not posting your actual birth date for safety purposes. Mine has been changed. It's about 4 months off. If anyone asks I'm usually going to tell them the correct date. Pagan  Hmmmm....I know I left that wand around here somewhere!

definitely a deal breaker...if they lie on their profile what else are they lying about!! I confronted a woman whose photos were way out dated...she older and way heavier! I told her she lied on her photo and I did not appreciate this. She stated well if she put her current photo on no one would chat with her....I said well after they meet you for the first time they will figure it out and you never get a second date!! I told her to be honest and people will respect you. I left! “Life is available only in the present moment.” Thich Nhat Hanh Come and read my blog! Become a watcher! veryfunnycple64

As a rule I never ever lie, and on this site what I put on here is the awful truth, if I am too impress some one, lying is not the way to go in my honest opinion....

If she looked like her pictures, lying about her age would be fine. Now, if we were becoming close in the relationship sense, and I was really wanting to pursue long-term, yes I'd be mad as hell and I'd probably end it.

I pay basically ZERO attention to age (well over 18!  ) - BOTH younger, and older, than me. A sexy lady is a sexy lady – period! But I’d wonder why they felt the need to lie about it.Does Hot Like Hot Bedroom Action on HNW I SWEAR It Wasnt Me [post 3312759] My Private Blog – Tell me All your Secrets

It wouldn't be a deal breaker, but it would definitely be a warning flag. If it were combined with enough other warning flags, the cumulative effect would be a broken deal! Redrockrascal pointed out that this site -- stupidly -- lists birth date, so for security reasons fudging by a bit is understandable. But there's a huge difference -- to me, at least -- between protecting one's identity and false pretenses... The flip side to this is that there are potential meet-and-greet folks who have hard limits... and there is definitely a falloff above certain ages.. I've had folks who misrepresented their ages publicly be upfront about it soon after we start talking. Those folks get a large helping of understanding. Me? I think if someone has a hard limit, and I don't fall into it, that person is going to be too rigid for me to enjoy! As for my own age: I'm upfront, mostly because I have no interest in expending the energy to keep a misrepresentation going, and I don't need or want the warning flag raised against me!

Because I am married I take precautions to protect my identity. In truth I am actually somewhat *younger* than my profile shows. While I do occasionally meet women from TSmeet, it is very unlikely that we will have sex or form anything more than a friendship. Still, being lied to is always a disappointment.

I've never really understood why someone would lie about their age if they plan on actually meeting others in person. It makes no sense. There are no advantages in it and those who do lie about it are just setting themselves up for rejection.
