travelbug1996 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Met OLD chatted today talked mostly about himself *puts finger in throat* and says that he's in IT for the CIA. Not sure I could ever confirm if he's lying or even if I care. Sid that he travels to the secret locations a couple times a month. Also he said he drives an old car 1999 (hell thats almost 20 years) lol This guy is so full of himself that its pathetic. If I worked for the CIA I probably wouldn't go blabbing it during a first conversation. I said I have to go to bed he said he was about to play XBOX with his friends (he's 40) lol Didn't ask much about my life but I'm glad I can see the qualities I don't want in a man--Unavailablity, Self Absorption etc Edited March 27, 2014 by travelbug1996 1
carhill Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Ever since Eric Snowden..... To paraphrase something I've heard quite a lot about similar guys, if you really get to know him, he's really a good guy! I've always been fascinated by that. So, is the ticket to nirvana showing the most self-absorbed behaviors at the beginning then gain one's best behavior over decades of marriage? Who'd have thunk! I'd kill to have a car as new as his but, then again, I don't work for the CIA; that said, his story did get your attention, even if to rant about it here. Value in that? 2
Arieswoman Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I met a guy via OLD for a meal once. He claimed he had worked in Area 51 and spent 2 hours talking about aliens. I couldn't get out of that hotel fast enough ! 3
Grumpybutfun Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I met a guy via OLD for a meal once. He claimed he had worked in Area 51 and spent 2 hours talking about aliens. I couldn't get out of that hotel fast enough ! Aries, that would have been fascinating. You could have finally gotten to the truth, wrote your own book about the alien's efflux of pus, went on Dr. Phil and been a headliner at Comic Con. Ah, the missed opportunity. Grumps 2
d0nnivain Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 the last thing people who have those jobs do is talk about them. There's a Subway fast food restaurant inside Langley & even those people have to sign confidentiality agreements to sell sandwiches. 3
Hello_is_it_me Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 What's worse than self absorption is pathological lying, which this guy might fall under. 2
Zahara Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I can't tell you how many guys I've met on OLD when I first started dating after my divorce that either claimed to be working for the CIA or FBI. 3
central Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 A few probably do work for the CIA or FBI - there are many jobs that don't access secret information, and aren't anything special. If they're playing on the secret/dangerous aspects, they're probably lying. And all you need for them to prove they work there is a badge/ID card. The only people possibly without one are going to be on assignment in a foreign country, and any working at an embassy or satellite office will still have an ID and there's NO reason they couldn't show you that! 1

The point is that people who work for the CIA aren't allowed to tell anyone! He's a liar! There are people working in the CIA who's immediate family don't even know! And they are just a secretary working there! 1

Exactly this dude even had the nerve to give me his name Bakari Finley and said google him. I'm like really dude? The info on him looks like all fluff. He's just "frontin and stuntin". lol Who does that but a habitual liar? Ugh!! I have no interest in meeting him IRL.
GoreSP Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 If he really worked for the CIA, he wouldn't even be allowed to tell it to anyone, no? 1
normal person Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Exactly this dude even had the nerve to give me his name Bakari Finley and said google him. I'm like really dude? First of all, he sounds way too eager to qualify himself which should be a red flag right there. No one with any sort of high profile worth meeting would say "google me!" Even if he is some hot shot, he's leaning real hard on that when the tasteful thing to do would just be reveal it naturally whenever it comes up. Secondly, as others have said, anyone who works for the the FBI or CIA is shrouded in secrecy, even their immediate family just accepts whatever blatant lie about a general career they have. I wouldn't bother with this guy. 1
Koopa Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 He IS lying, The IRS doesn't even know who is in the CIA, they file their taxes under what ever fake job they are given to tell people. The only person that publicly works for the CIA is the Director of the CIA.
crederer Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I tell women I'm an astronaught. 90% of the time it works every time.
AntiSocal Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 He IS lying, The IRS doesn't even know who is in the CIA, they file their taxes under what ever fake job they are given to tell people. The only person that publicly works for the CIA is the Director of the CIA. He said he does IT for the CIA. Doesn't mean hes an actual agent. For all we know his job could be to install Microsoft office on all their field computers. They probably lose a lot of field computers being the CIA and blowing stuff up and all. @ op doesn't really matter if he was lying right? You aren't interested. Next him. And if a 40 year old would lie about that you should stay far away. HE sounds crazy.

anne1707 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I think maybe he changes the toner in the printers and loads paper into the photocopiers. That's about as dangerous as it gets for him.

The only person that publicly works for the CIA is the Director of the CIA. This is absolutely NOT TRUE. I have a friend who works for the CIA and doesn't hide his place of work. If you're talking about one of the shady agents, I buy it, but not everyone working for the CIA has to lie about it. 2

"Hey! I could get splashed in the eye by a stray ink spray!! Don't you still find me dangerous and mysterious?!"

If you're talking about one of the shady agents, I buy it, but not everyone working for the CIA has to lie about it. Seeing as he said he goes to "secret locations" about twice a month, I call BS exactly because of what you said. He's either lying or being way too open. 1

tbf Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 If he told you, he'd have to kill you. This doesn't sound like a fun date. Next.

He's either lying or being way too open. It's absolutely irresponsible of him, if he's an agent in the field, to tell you that kind of stuff. Not illegal, mind you, just irresponsible. I suspect he was trying to impress by lying or he may be working for the CIA, but in a far less "glamorous" role.
ascendotum Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Seeing as he said he goes to "secret locations" about twice a month, I call BS exactly because of what you said. He's either lying or being way too open. Yes, that's when he visits a couple of his other women (ie when he is back from one of his overseas missions, for them). This guy probably loved the role Bill Paxton played in True Lies movie and wants to spice up his IT job. Its entirely possible he does something indirectly for the agency maybe through one of its contractors (like processing satellite images), but when the guy starts bragging about CIA on the first meeting/chat it just makes him look like a bit of a wanker.
