Would you trust a guy who lies about his age?

I met a guy for drinks last week (when we were interacting online he told me he was 35). When I met him in person he told me he was 40. This is the second person I know who has lied about his age to me. At least this guy admitted it

If he lies about dumb shit like his age then he's gonna lie about important shit later on too 😅

Nope. Liars should be automatically disqualified

{@solitaire] 🤔i do not know really why lie about something so trivial as age . maybe i am cynical and of a suspicious nature but if lie about something like this so minor what else would he be untruthful over down the line

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M

@smiler2012 Yes lying about a basic fact about yourself makes me think he will lie about other things.

cherokeepatti · 70-79, F

It’s a red flag for sure and not a good way to begin a relationship. Also if they post photos of themselves 15-20 years younger than what they are is another one.

SimplyLogicalDiscipline · 36-40, F

I don't even write lie and trust in a same line 😁

Raaii · 22-25, F

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline totally on point

first thing i thought was, he's prob older than 40. but what prompted him to say he was 40? that would be telling

Ferric67 · M

@SW-User smart thinking penti

solitaire · 41-45, F

@SW-User Meaning?

SW-User

@solitaire if he offered his age for no reason, then he's feeling guilty for having lied about saying he's 35. if you asked him about what age he is because he didn't look 35, then he's just a cold-blooded liar who's trying not to get caught.

Shallowaters · 36-40, M

Well that's quite annoying. Lying gives a negative impact in the first go. It's a instant turn off

OverTheHill · 61-69, M

Nope. They are a liar.

SW-User

The older I get the more I understand lying about age. I still say I’m about 35 when I’m 37 but I’m technically closer to 35 than 40. I think probably if you can’t tell then it doesn’t matter especially as it says you’re of similar age.

Magenta · F

@SW-User Right?! It's certainly not the end of the world or the worst lie ever told by any of us.

MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M

@SW-User just stop doing it, there's no reason to do it, you look as old as you look either way, saying you're 37 instead of 35 won't make you look or act 2 years older

TrashCat · M

I don't trust anyone who lies PERIOD

daydeeo · 61-69, M

He probably thought you wouldn't meet him if he was older. Shows poor judgement on his part.
The fact that he admitted it does have some redeeming value.
But of course now you can't help but wonder what else might he be lying about?
Trust, once lost, is very difficult to regain.

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M

Huge red flag for me.

itsok · 31-35, F

No 😏

@itsok hahaha

Spoiledbrat · F

I don't know why lie. If someone I knew offline lied to je about their age I'd be concerned but on here I don't worry about it.

solitaire · 41-45, F

@Spoiledbrat Not on here. This is someone I interacted with online and then met in person

Spoiledbrat · F

@solitaire It might not be anything but I don't blame you for wondering why he lied. Did you ask him?

riseofthemachine · 41-45, M

If there not honest with there age which is a small thing can you imagine what else there hidden.
I went away from a person over lying to me a few days ago .
Nah I wouldn’t entertain that bull shit

solitaire · 41-45, F

@riseofthemachine Yessss

ABCDEF7 · M

It would be interesting to know why they lied.

@SumTingWong Your absurd reason to lie has no relevance to my comment in the context of this post.

SumTingWong · M

@ABCDEF7 Oh my...............guess who is full of himself. ;-) ;-) Take a laxative........you're waaay too full of it.

ABCDEF7 · M

@SumTingWong You really looks like a 7 years old immature, and you yourself told what you are after.

eMortal · M

He’s not hoping for anything serious between you two. Don’t overthink it.

solitaire · 41-45, F

@eMortal Na not overthinking. Would you even consider having a platonic friendship with such a person?

eMortal · M

@solitaire Yes. If you’re trying to weed out people around you based on small lies you’d be alone all the time.
Lies like his are part of their own insecurities. You’re not involved.
If you wanna judge someone’s character based on their truthfulness, find out if they have broken the law before by lying, in my opinion.

lokibole · M

Some guys are insecure

areYouSureAboutThat · F

Admitting is good...but there, probably, will be more lying along the way

phillyguy · 56-60

I'd say something small like that, no worries. Women lie about their age ALL the time. Some people are insecure about their age. If it goes BEYOND superficial things then step away!

BeefySenpie · M

No. I don’t understand why you’d even think you needed to 🤦‍♂️

SW-User

I wouldn't trust him.

But it's not like I haven't lied before.

submissivelittlewoman · F

If he can lie about his age… he’ll lie about anything and everything.

Adogslife · 61-69, M

Ask for his license.

Ask if he lies about his penis too.

Unefilletrescurieuse · F

Absolutely not.. nor if he lies about his name.

BackyardShaman · 61-69, M

I don’t get it why do people do this ?

Smokey · 51-55, M

Ive never seen the point

bijouxbroussard · F

To me, it would be a red flag. If he’d lie about something so inconsequential, what else might he lie about ?

scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M

Do not trust him

Starcrossed · 46-50, F

Probably not.

@HairbrushDiva I'm a big liar😂

HairbrushDiva · 36-40, F

@Barebum61 You're only saying that because you want my hairbrush on your bare bottom, aren't you? Lol :)

Barebum61 · 61-69, M

@HairbrushDiva 😜

Sassychick420 · 36-40, F

No I wouldn't trust anyone who lied about their age. That's dumb no need to lie about age unless your to young so yeah. That's a problem for me

Strictmichael75 · 61-69, M

Stupid lying about age!
Maybe afraid you will think him too old

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M

@Strictmichael75 But people find out eventually so what's the point. The same for people with pictures that are misleading.

TrashCat · M

People
People who need people...
Are the luckiest people in the world
unless they lie about their age and plan to meet other people

solitaire · 41-45, F

@TrashCat This has happened to me twice. A 40 year old posing as a 35-year old and a 56-year old posing as a man in his 40s. When I ask them the reason they say if they don't lie about their age people don't respond

SW-User

Did you say something about it? What did he say if so?

solitaire · 41-45, F

@SW-User He didn't know my age until I met him, so he thought if I was a young lady (say in her 20s) and I knew he was 40 upfront that I might not even want to meet him in person. Anyway I had made it clear to him that I wasn't looking for a relationship so there was no need to lie to begin with

SW-User

@solitaire Yeah I figured that might be the reason. Not right if him to lie, but is his explanation enough for you to over look that little mess up of his, considering you're not looking for anything serious?
