irc333 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I've noticed a couple of women that I almost SWEAR they're either as old or OLDER than me in their dating profiles. They put themselves as 33 or 34, however, you can tell in their faces they got crows feet, the neck, etc...the obvious signs of aging. However, they got knock out bodies. I often wonder if I should email them and ask them if their stated age is their TRUE age. lol But, did you see profiles of people that indeed looks like they're lying about their age?
Emilia Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 All the time. Guys with a really slack jawline in their mid 40s at least pretending to be in their 30s. I never commented on it when they contacted me but it was so obvious. I'm sure they just want to appear in more searches but it's still sad.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, these women were beautiful, no doubt head turners, but dont' be self-consious of your facial wrinkles, if your butt is as ripe as 20 year old's.
Emilia Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I think the reality is that once you hit 40, you get fewer hits on your profile. Hell as a woman once you hit 35 you get fewer hits - though that can be dealt with in a smarter way as well of course.
Eternal Sunshine Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Some of us just age poorly. I am 33 but really look 45

Yeah, there's this one woman in my area, admitted IN her profile she was older than her stated age, even said what her real age was....(listed herself like in late 30's, when she's in her mid 40's) She had a couple of bikini photos, nice boobs, pretty smile, great long hair....she had a few wrinkles. But she even ADMITTED she did that on purpose to get hits from guys who were younger. Not sure if that justifies lying about it in the stats area though.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I've noticed a couple of women that I almost SWEAR they're either as old or OLDER than me in their dating profiles.

I often wonder if I should email them and ask them if their stated age is their TRUE age. lol But, did you see profiles of people that indeed looks like they're lying about their age? No, you shouldn't ask them if it's their real age. There is no point. You are only doing it to mock them. If you think someone is lying, then simply ignore them and move on. Some women will have wrinkles (shock because we all know that women are not allowed to be human beings). Some women may look a bit older then their age just like some might look younger then their age. If you are not interested in someone, don't contact them. You are not there to "pick" out liars to mock. ALthough, it sounds like you enjoy judging and evaluating women. 1
Author irc333 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Posted May 29, 2012 I would never ask them their age at all, just a hypthetical question. But....with one woman it did come to that point..... Right now I've established a friendship with a woman I met on POF, she's pretty decent lady, but wouldn't date her for certain reasons. I don't havea problem being her friend, but what firmed this up was when she accidently made it known somehow....that she wasn't the stated age in her profile. She said she was 40 in her profile, and she let it slip, "That's what I PUT" And I said, "You mean you're not 40?? Then how old are you then?" And she said she wouldn't tell me, and I asked, "So you lieda bout your age in your profile? YOu shouldn't do that" kinda teased hera bout it...but she got mad. She cooled off later and called me and wanted to hang out....even when we were hanging out, we started talking about High School REunions....and she asked me what year I graduated, I said 1990...then I asked HER She would NOT tell me the year she graduated, and she was like "Nope, that'll give away my age." I just let it go...and changed the subject. So I guess that's the point of finding out their age I suppose. No, you shouldn't ask them if it's their real age. There is no point. You are only doing it to mock them. If you think someone is lying, then simply ignore them and move on.

I've met women IRL that look much older than in their OLD pictures. Keep in mind women will post out-dated pictures of themselves. I think these women just do OLD for an ego boost and nothing more.
Alma Mobley Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 I think lots of people lie on their online profiles, but I also think that people can look a little older than they state. It's totally possible that a woman has a killer body in her 30s but still has crow feet (from smoking or too much sun) or the neck thing (maybe she gained some weight and then lost it -- that causes it too) or maybe it's genetic. However, I don't think emailing these people and asking them if that is their TRUE age will win you any points. 1
january2011 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Agree with the others, if I received a message from an online stranger who came across as though they were the OLD police then I'd probably hit delete and block. I don't see the point in calling out people on their online dating profiles unless I actually wanted to have a conversation with them, was interested in getting together and just wanted them to clarify something on their profile. I think this relates to a thread I started about guys who go around dating sites giving 'profile advice'. I sometimes wonder about the success of this strategy and whether calling someone out on their age, for example, actually leads to replies and dates. Having said that, if I came across someone who lied about their age then it would be a strong indicator of incompatibiility. No need to call out. I'd just hit, "next." 1
FitChick Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) People age differently. Nothing to do with the date on their birth certificate. If you like the look of someone, what difference does it make unless you want to breed? By being so silly you are eliminating a lot of people from your already meager dating pool. I'd like to know which is preferable: someone who lies about their age but looks good or someone who tells the truth but looks horrible? Edited May 29, 2012 by FitChick 1
Woggle Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 If they are that age most likely they have done done some hard living. Lindsey Lohan is still in her 20s and looks in her 40s. 1

I don't agreeing about lying in profiles but I think FitChick makes a good point about aging differently and meager dating pools. If the OP recognises, accepts and is okay with that, kudos to him!

I'd like to know which is preferable: someone who lies about their age but looks good or someone who tells the truth but looks horrible? For the most part, I usually agree with your posts, but that last bit sounds fishy to me. Why would you have to lie if there was nothing to hide or be ashamed of? Why would you tell the truth if you look horrible? I can only think of one reason why someone would lie about looking good, the same way a person would lie about having a lot of money, but not everyone does that, and you can't lie about the physical in person..
oaks Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 But, did you see profiles of people that indeed looks like they're lying about their age? Yes. I see lots of this. Sometimes I think "oh, so maybe that really is what some 32 year old women look like" and sometimes I think "no, you're 42, aren't you?" Some people age well, some age badly, and some lie about it. Age might be important if you're looking for someone with several years of child-bearing potential, but otherwise just contact people who you find attractive and try to spend as little time as possible on the others.
oaks Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Some of us just age poorly. I am 33 but really look 45 Hahaha! no, you don't look 45. Not close.
FitChick Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Hahaha! no, you don't look 45. Not close. But do you really know that for sure? She could have posted old photos.
oaks Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 But do you really know that for sure? She could have posted old photos. In that case I've enjoyed being deceived.
