The profile says age 39. Turns out his real age is 48.
Worse, that fact comes out only after *I* raise the issue several messages in. I look at his photo, look at his profile, look at his photo again (noting that it oddly bears a date stamp reading '98), look at his profile again. Finally, fearing that I am being rude, I ask how old he actually is.
"Uh...oh yeah, I never got around to updating that. Just didn't seem important..."
Gawd, deception is a turnoff!!!
Don't tell Master I said this....ssshhh.....but he never changes his age. [:D] When I first met him I thought he was the age his profile says. Then after about the third date I said I really didn't know anything about him, his last name or if he was who he said he was. He handed me his drivers license and I figured it out. He was older than his profile. I never made a big deal about it though because by that point he had me hooked. [:)] He said the same thing though when I said something to him on his next birthday I think and he hadn't changed it....it just didn't seem important. Now had I met him and you could tell he was obviously not the age he had on his profile, it would have been very obvious and I wouldn't have gone any further than a cup of coffee.
If there had been a huge age gap between us even then I probably would have felt disappointed and wanting to move on. But thankfully there isn't even despite the fact that he just never bothers to update his age. He just never thought about it and assumed Collarme automatically updated.
Now he likes to joke that I'm older than him and he likes to trick me into thinking it when he says something and I don't catch on right away. lol
I told Master I'm just going to start telling everyone I'm 29. I mean, everytime someone finds out I'm actually 40 they stand and stare at me for awhile until they say I look like I'm 25. Heh. So I think I'll just ask, "how old do you think I am?" and if they answer 25, I'll just agree. [8D]
Well, as others have said here it's a lot more forgivable for the folks that aren't single or looking. Was his appearance at least true to the photo(s) he gave you before meeting?
This crap happened to me twice yesterday! I had another one message me with his profile saying he's 45, but it turns out he's 47. When called on it, he gets all self-righteous and does the old, "Well I shaved some years off because I look and act younger than my real age!"
BTW, in my experience, the answer to that is usually "No you don't, and no you don't."
I should write a song about all this and title it "Denial."
