Lying on Dating Sites

Post Reply New Topic

If you put a bunch of 56-year-old people in a room, and lined them up, you'll find they run the gamut as far as "looking old" is concerned.

I have seen people of that age look in the 20s; and I've seen people of that age look in the 80s.

Well, this is a coincidence. I know better, but I signed up in a dating site this evening. I even made a friend. Then I had a nap and when I woke I was sane again. I've been there, done that. It's fake. I know that they hire writers @ Guru.com to create and maintain Matches. Talk about fiction! But will they let me say "Fat egg-head seeks same"? Nope. And any blanks that I type in are reviewed. Surely there's a fat egg-head out there somewhere? I got a match, so I asked what he read, and he didn't know.

I'm a chubby egghead.

Should we make Chubby Eggheads Forum?
Oh - no more new forums.
How about a Thread - worth it?

p.s. I'm worse than chubby.

You should talk about Dolma eggplants.

How do you creep people out? By your intellect ?

When I was in my 20's, I used to have bad crushes on intellectual-type older women. A woman of your erudition would have had me wrapped around her middle finger

You're not quite the "cougar" age yet (we didn't have the term when I was in my 20s).

It wouldn't make sense for a guy in his, especially, late 20s to be "creeped out" by you, In fact, he'd be one lucky fella should you choose him.

We're all accused of being liars when were being honest. Just part of the human condition!

I looked very young for my age in my teens and twenties, even now at 40 I get guessed at 30. I remember starting online dating at age 24/25 and I could've been mistaken for 16/17 easily. It was frustrating as being seen as a liar. To many women I was simply "A lying as*hole". They probably did think I was 17 trying to make himself appear older/ more attractive / more mature. I didn't get any responses at the times as I believe women think "no way is he 25, 26, 27" whatever.

Online dating sucked for me and I know it was looks. It was funny but my first date from online dating was with an Asian girl - some 2 to 2 1/2 years after I first used it (yes it took me about 400 hours of online dating time to get just one da). I guess Asian girls are used to seeing less masculine or less virilised-looking men in their mid-late 20's in their respective countries, so don't suspect you're a liar. Its all about her own personal experience and objective view of reality and the men in that objective reality.

I think honesty is the best policy with online dating. I put my real height (5'9 3/4; if there is no option for mid to high five-nine then I just round-up to 5'10), I put my real weight (170lbs) and build (average). The only thing I don't disclose is my job or locale.

I wouldn't like to meet a woman who says she's average weight (which is about 56kg for a woman) when she's clearly 90kg. Or using old photo's from 2007. I wouldn't consider dating a woman over 62kg and I tend not to fit in the ones under 45kg. Or she's a smoker in real life when she never mentioned that on the profile. Or she has a kid and didn't disclose it!
