What do you think about a woman lying about her age on internet dating?

I have a friend and she looks so good for her age and I mean pretty and in good shape, better than most thirty year olds! She is in her mid forties but looks in her early thirties. On an internet dating site she put her age as early thirties. On the first meeting with a guy, she always tells him her real age so as not to mislead him. What do you all think?

What do you think about a woman lying about her age on internet dating?
at least its better than lying about being married..





but its sad, she has a picture on her profile doesnt she?


then the potential dates would see themselves she looks


much younger than her age. I think thats better than lie about it.
Reply:Hmmm....while it's good that she lets the guys know her age on a first date, why does she feel she has to lie if she looks good for her age? She should be proud she is wearing well! LOL!
Reply:when i lie about my age i always add a yr more, coz i look too young for a woman my age.
Reply:I think she is trying to start relationships based on a lie. If I were a guy that she had lied to in order to meet, I would not want to know her in any way. I hate liars!
Reply:I think its absolutely hilarious and pathetic
Reply:OMG!!!! you mean to tell me that some women lie about their age.... is there no shame? I am shocked.





most if not all profile have errors on it, either intentional or unintentional..





I never believe anything on anybody's profile, even my own.
Reply:And why not , at least she gets to meet the guy but has it altered the relationship and has a man ever asked her out on a second date ? if so then does it really matter as most men go for personality rather than age unless she has sent a very young photo of herself in which case she deserves to be left there and then as the man will not be able to trust a woman like that . I say Go for it gal and i hope she meets a good bloke
Reply:I think nearly everyone (male or female), who's over thirty-forty years of age tells a white lie about his/her age. Perhaps it's somekind of self-denial, esp if they believe they still look and feel younger than their chronological age. I myself, I occasionally do tell a white lie about my age. I look at least ten years younger! But I don't believe in internet dating. Not for me! I'm not that desperate yet! I'm always faithful and loyal to my husband.
Reply:Thats pretty pathetic actually. your friend wants to date youngins. Why is it she cant just say "Im 45 and hotter than a 32" Id say that would be more interesting since it means shes able to keep herself in good shape.
Reply:I dont do that, i simply put my real age,i dont want people to expect too much of me and at the end i will be the looser.


I always and proud to say im 48 ^,^
Reply:very very low self asteem, but cheeky i like her
Reply:I personally think that she should be honest from the get go and post her age on the profile. If she looks that good then she should be proud of her age as well. By fibbing about her age in her profile then telling the guy the truth she is not starting out with them on a good foot. The guy may think she lied about her age, what next? She probably has kids or is married or worse.


She should be proud she is in great shape and tell her age, shock the guys.
Reply:Great for her that she looks so good, but Im don't think I agree with not being up front even before the first date.
Reply:i think its stupid to lie about age... its like lying about shoe size... whats the point.. if she looks great then she will surely get a lot of NO WAY.... come on!
Reply:Typical women.
Reply:I expect women to lie about their age and don't usually believe it no matter the situation.
Reply:I don't deal with anyone that lies or at minimum maintains a lie.


You already know what you think or you wouldn't ask the question.
Reply:If a women is past 30, she perfers not to be sasked her age and lies about it because she feels old. People say it is rude to ask a women that question and say it is better she told you. It is untrue that people don't tell the true on the web. I have never once lied on it. I think it is rude of her to have mislead guys also if she lied about that whos to say she does not lie about more things. I think she needs to aknowledge that she will only get older and accept it with a possitativeness. =)
Reply:Does she lie when meeting people in person? (ie not preceded by an internet date). Remember, these internet site do not allow for "late 40's but looks good". They are cold databases that filter out anyone that doesn't match the search criteria.





I don't think it matters as its the person, not their date of birth, thats the important thing. I would not like to think I'd missed out on someone who sounds so hot just because she fell outside of a search string!





If she looks hot and she plays hot - shes hot!





And kugay. I think you mean LOSER. Not Looser.....
Reply:I suppose people lie about all sorts of things on these sites so be very careful everybody
Reply:If she's hiding her age, what else do you think she's hiding? dude, go old school and go out and meet people face to face instead of taking the risk of meeting some 80 yr old woman who claims shes 25 and has a hot bod....
Reply:I think I'd tell her to get lost, if she can lie about that, she can lie about anything.
Reply:I agree with allen. But I say as long as she comes upfront and tells them when they meet, I see no problem. It is misleading though initially.





If she looks good for her age, she should be proud of it!
Reply:That it's better to be honest from the start, why bother lying, you will only be found out sooner than later.
Reply:If it gets her to meet different people why not, providing it doesn't cost the guy any money coming to meet her.
Reply:Most people lie about something on the web.
Reply:I think that's probably pretty common.
Reply:lies eventually come to the surface





people will be suspect as to what she may also be lying about





she is only helping the BS about people on dating sites
Reply:not cool dude %26gt;:0
Reply:wouldnt it be funny if she went for a date an it was a 79 yr old bloke who had lied about everything , do you think she would laugh it off , plus all women do i s say they hate liars but think there justified for there lies , such a complicated piece of work they can be ?
Reply:As long as she comes clean its good, but its not right.
