New BF lying about his age!

[FreshFigs]

I met someone on OLD about three months ago. On his profile it gave his age as 48. I've always thought that he looks slightly older. He looks after himself though, eats well, excercises etc. But a few conversations have made me suspicious.

Anyway... I looked him up on 192 and it gives his age as 55 - 59 !!!!

Obviously it's just a number, 192 isn't always accurate. But it's the lie that bothers me. I'm wondering when / if he's going to amit to it.

I'm on OLD and don't lie about my age. I wouldn't have a second date with anyone who lied about their age or height.
I'd have no problem dating an older or shorter man, but lying is a big red flag for me.

I've never seen a dating site that lets you set filters for height

I think POF has height filters.

HildaOg, I didn;t say women were victims. I said their lie (about age) is based on a desire to meet a partner closer to their age. Unlike men's. It's not a difficult concept.

Next time I'm chatting to somebody I might say ''so, what shock am I going to get on the night, just tell me now!''. I'm not doing it atm though.

For me age isn't just a number. A year or two - fine - but a whole decade? And he hasn't put you right in three months? If a friend told me that I'd have my doubts that he was a "good'un" I'm afraid...

This made me laugh on the Active Threads page, because it is set out as:

New BF lying about his age 81

Botttom line for me....

If a guy lies, he's a liar.

Who cares why he's lied? That's a waste of brainspace. You've found out this bloke is a liar and you can get the hell away while you still know what way up and down are.

He's repeatedly lied to your face.

You are: inclined to teach him a lesson and have some fun with it at the same time

This relationship is not going anywhere good.

I dislike men that do this!!

When I met my partner he told me he was 30, turns out he was 36! I only found out about his age after I found all of his hidden identity stuff, after I'd had his child! I'm 25 now and he's 41! Men that do this are wrong!

Omg!! That is extreme!

awful 2boy . when does the lying stop?

Why don't you ask him what song was number one when he was born? I know mine and have it as a ring tone. If he doesn't know, offer to go onto a website to 'look it up for him' then a conversation can begin where he might feel able to come clean.

Or ask him if he watched the moon landings. I did

I have known some guys to state a different age when in their early 40s or 50s because it meant that they dropped off the cliff for the age group they were interested in dating, i.e. 40 yo man wanting to date mid to late 30s woman.

The search criteria too rules them out if people are 51 and someone in their 40s has put the criteria in of up to 50.

There was one guy I met who told me he'd done this and gave this as a reason. As long as people come clean early on, it's not an issue.

I didnt see this guy for long, but it wasnt the lie about his age that did it it was the fact that his 'affairs' weren't affairs, he'd PAID them
