Art_Critic Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 yet another reason not to do OLD.... I have better things to do than have every random guy Google me to death because he is paranoid about my AGE of all things. What a waste of time... Some people aren't for OLD.. men and women.. the guys and girls who do use OLD are better off with those people not using the service.. I met my wife on match.com so I'm one of the people that the service worked for, it did take years and I went though quite a few year+ OLD'ng born relationships till I found a girl that I connected with. IRL you still have the age issue.... would you lie to men to their face IRL when they already know your name ?
Art_Critic Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Nothing personal. wink..wink... .. same here
Wolf18 Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Hey This American Life, it's a preference That's what women tell me when some 4'9 filipino overweight pygmy with Parkinsons disease on craigslist demands a 6'5 muscular blonde guy packing 12 inches who drives race cars.

IRL you still have the age issue.... would you lie to men to their face IRL when they already know your name ? IRL? I don't give my name to strangers unless it is business related. If they know me IRL and are still interested, I assume they are interested in me as a human being. That said, I have a co-worker who appears interested in me. He is 11 yrs younger. Not sure if he knows that. Maybe he is not the type to Google people to death (I know I don't). I probably won't date him though.
PlumPrincess Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Actually..I get why the lie. but that doesn't mean they should do it.. saying it is okay is just like a short man lying and saying he is taller... In reality I thought they sounded interesting and looked attractive but once I found out they LIED they were no longer attractive anyhow.. It wasn't about the age but about the lie..In my experience if there are lies this close to the surface there will be more in a relationship Just saying The other day, a guy I met IRL tricked me into a date. I had already suspected that it was a trick, so I wasn't too surprised, but still, I was irritated. In the end, I decided he was interesting and I wasn't bored, so I decided not to make a fuss about it, but I wouldn't consider a second date. There is really something about lying that makes me uncomfortable.

Scary as this sounds... I liked the pic of the real you more than that airhead you've got as your avatar now. What's his name? Fabio? ick.
Woggle Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I would say it is about even. I have never had a single date from the internet so I can't say for sure who lies more.
Author FitChick Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Telling your age doesn't mean divulging your birth date.. By the way.. with your name and city you live in I can find out your real age in less than 30 secs...30 secs... so why lie ? Most people tell the day and month but not the year. I'm at the point where I even give a fake day. I used to date someone in IT security and he made me paranoid. I can't even find myself when I google because I have a very common name, thank god. There are people of all ages with my name and I live in one of the largest cities in the US.

Author FitChick Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 There is really something about lying that makes me uncomfortable. So how would you feel about your coworker, the one you have a crush on, lying to his girlfriend about dating you? Maybe some lies are better than others, huh? Depends on who benefits I suppose.
PlumPrincess Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 How did he trick you? What did he lie about? I have a problem and he said he could help me. It sounded like he had some secret source of information and he suggested that we meet some other day to talk about it. I already wondered why we didn't talk about it immediately and assumed he was interested in a date. A couple of days later he texted me and said that we would try to work out something that week, because he was leaving for vacation soon. So we meet and after like half an hour of chatting I asked him about my problem. He says, "That's why we're here?" Me (internal dialogue), "F*ck you... :rolleyes:" He knew nothing that I didn't already know myself and he could have told me everything the last time we met. He's a nice and interesting person, but I do not appreciate being lied to. I really don't understand why he did that.
ThsAmericanLife Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I can't believe you. Just like Fabio can't believe it's not butter Why would I lie? You are like, young enough to be my son... (I know, gross). So, as a mom or big sis to you... why do you think the real you is less appealing than this idiot Fabio? Sure, you need to learn how to smile in your pics, but other than that... Fabio's got nothing on you...
PlumPrincess Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 So how would you feel about your coworker, the one you have a crush on, lying to his girlfriend about dating you? Maybe some lies are better than others, huh? Depends on who benefits I suppose. Sorry, who said I wanted to go on secret dates with my co-worker??? I wouldn't even go on open dates with him as long as he is in a relationship. Do people on this forum actually have basic reading skills?

He's not nice if he has to 'trick' you into a date. I had some douchebag do that to me once... on the way back to the main plant from an offsite meeting he wanted to stop for coffee and have a chat about the meeting we just finished. Turned out he wanted to tell me about the 17 yr old...oops 18 yr old he met online and was cheating on his wife with (the guy was 42 with a 15 year old daughter). I told him he was sick, and that I didn't want to hear anymore of his stories. He friggin' chased me around for weeks with free sodas and candy. Somehow, that story of his was supposed to make him more interesting to me... Alrighty then... am I bitter??? ha ha

He even has a spoken word album!!!

Ok, I've never met him so I don't REALLY know... but he woudn't be my first choice for a date.

[/Quote] That is because...Fabio is a sex-object, who ironically probably dies a little bit on the inside every time he has to make one of his horrible cameo's so women will buy some crappy product .

ThsAmericanLife Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 That's more like it. I just felt bad for dissing him just based on his vapid expression in pictures. Figured I'd wait to see if he could carry on a conversation first.

So what if some 5'2 bald skinny-fat jewish record producer wrote it "Hi, I'm Fabio. And I'm veeeeeery eenterested in what makes Romance work"...
