irc333 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I have to say, and I'm not sure if this is more popular with men or women....(I'm thinking more often than women, esp. approaching the 40's) There's this one woman I know from POF, we've become more friends than dating partners lately, because she's still recovering from her divorce. But we hang out occasionally. During one of our phone conversations , I caught her in a lie that her age isn't wasn't what she claimed it to be on her dating profile (age 40). When we hung out recently, she asked me what year I graduated HS, and I told her, and I asked her when she graduated. And she's like "I'm not tellin, you'll find out my age" and giggled. The woman STILL won't tell me her age. Funny, she had no problem with asking ME how old I was, but she won't say one word about HER age. Are women THAT youth obsessed? There's this woman in my church I know that I SAW on match.com a while back, I was early 30's, she was late 30s, about a 6 year age diff. , then I emailed her, and she rseponded saying our age differences were too great to be dating, and wish me luck. About a year ago, I saw her on POF, turns out the age difference between us had lessened twice the amount of years, if I did the math from her age data back then, she SHOULD'VE been listed as 46 or 47, but she put 42. LOL How many women here, do you even know in REAL life that will lie about their ages to peoples faces?
ladyabstrused Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I won't. What's the point? Lol. I want my relationships to work, be it casual friends or intimate or anything. It starts with being honest about who and how I am. I am really unsure as to why a lot of women hide their real ages lol although I am a woman myself. Perhaps insecure? Afraid that if people think they're too old or too young, they won't be accepted? Since they are not sure what the definition of too old or too young is to the other person, they best not say or lie about it to suit what the other person wants to hear or find appealing.
Art_Critic Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I had a woman explain it to me this way- Men want a younger woman and for the most part only contact younger woman in OLD and the only way she felt she could get a man her age to contact her was to lie about her age and put that she was younger, hense he would be closer to her real age. It does work.. but then they lied about their age, to me lying is worse..
grkBoy Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I think the women who would lie about their age, lie about having kids, post fake photos, lie about their lives, use and manipulate men, and complain how they can't find an "above average" man... ...they would not post or even join this board. They would not want to be anywhere that tells them they are behaving badly. So I'd assume the Ladies of Loveshack would not lie about their age or any fakery like that.
JaySonM Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 ha! I don't even know my mom's exact age. I know she is in her early 40s. Age isn't something women over 30 talk about I guess.
HHC Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Never seen the point. They're going to find out your age eventually
FitChick Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Are women THAT youth obsessed? No, but men are so women lie. Why do you care how old she is? How does that affect your life unless you want babies or don't want to go to jail for sex with a minor?
