Why do men lie about their ages....

[Littlelondoner]

I am due to have date number 2 this week with a guy I met the other week. We have spoken every day he seems super kean and we have quite a bit in common. I am not invested at all as well it is only date 2.

So stupid me googled him. Why I am unsure but I was just curious I guess. (There was reasoning behind this...)

Anyways it turns out he is 10 years older then he said he is..!! Don't get me wrong he looks amaizing for his age and could deffiantly pass for much much younger.

Here is my dilemma. We had a conversation about how he had been on dates previously with women hed met online who had clearly lied about their ages etc. And we both agreed it was werid to lie about ages etc etc and tragicly embaressingly etc etc.

At this point I said to him I dont actually know how old you are. How old are you? And he point blank lied to my face.

For me this is a massive red flag for many many reasons.

I guess my question is...

How do I call him out with out sounding slightly bunny boiler'ish for googling him?

Do I cancel on him no explanation?

Or do I go not mention it have a lovely evening then just give him the standard sorry you're not for me speel?

I am so out of practise with dating now 😂😂😂 the annoying thing is if he had of been honnest from the offset it would not of bothered me.

It is just if he is lying so massively already.

I have also previously dated guys with werid things about their ages always leads to some werid mid life crisis complex.

And breathe sorry for quite the essay

Bit odd that he lied after saying he thinks its weird. I would just explain to him that I know he's lied and say he's not for me and just part ways. Wouldnt go on the date though or just blank him.

Umm! Strange thing for him to do if he wants this to actually progress into a full relationship, as you'll find out anyway. I guess his plan would be to drop it in further down the line but yes, your right. It already gets you off on a bad foot. I guess if I was in your shoes I'd also fee very uncomfortable that someone could lie so easily to my face. It would be more understandable if you asked his age and he replied with 'would you be put off if I told you I'm older than I look?' I guess probably not, but yes, it's the lying that's the worry isn't it.

Men lie about everything in my experience.

user thats what my reasoning was ot shows a lack of respect and that clearly he thinks what does it matter what she think she'll only be a quick shag anyways. With the irony being we've not DTD yet.

I am most deffiantly over thinking this I think.

I think it's common in both sexes. Can't see the point in it myself. Why start a potential relationship on a lie?

Same reason women do

Vanity

anyfucker if it is vanity though surely it is better to give people your actual age so they think wow they look younger or gpod for that age. Than pretending to be younger only to get people thinking you look a bit rough around the edges?

I don't profess to understand it...

Red flag indeed. Don't worry about looking like a bunny boiler, surely everyone googles their date? Just fess up and ask him. He's the one who did something wrong, not you.

From experience I think that men lie about their age more than women, especially when online dating. Most men want to meet much younger women, lots of them, it's that simple.
