Ladies why do you lie incessantly on dating apps. I haven't met a woman yet that hasn't lied on her dating profile (not an exaggeration)?

Why not ask the women who are “lying” to you? We are all individual people capable of making our own choices for better or worse. Just because you encounter women who lie or you’re just perceiving whatever is being said or done as a lie, doesn’t mean their actions speak for the masses. Maybe this is simply a case of having better judgement when perusing profiles and opting to match.

I got all but the end of that.

It would be one thing if it was one woman. But every woman has lied. And they're usually lies that seem silly to lie about.

By the end I meant that maybe you’re not having good judgement in the women you choose match with, solely based off the fact that this is happening multiple times. I’m not savvy with the whole online dating thing, but surely they fill out their profiles and something about what you’re seeing is attracting you or grabbing your attention. What are these silly things to lie about?

Well one lied about her religion, she lied about being a vegan and she lied about being interested in sustainable living. The next one said she had and associates degree. Then she said she had a masters then she said she only has a bachelor's.
The first one I got the impression she was just trying to sound interesting. The second one I don't know why she kept changing her story. In one of her pics she was wearing a sweater of the local community College (which doesn't necessarily mean anything) but it suggests that she has a 2 year degree. I get the impression she was trying to sound more educated than she was.
But here's the thing. I don't judge people by how much they make or their education. So I don't get why lie. I mean any guy paying attention can put 2 and 2 together. And how is that starting off a relationship with a handful of lies.

Fortunately it’s only been two women, and honestly it may be a matter of luck, and you were unlucky with those experiences. You’re right, those situations are not things to lie about. However I think people get far too caught up in how they’ll appear to someone else, especially when dating, and they feel the need to make themselves look better than they actually are. It’s all about their insecurities and egos. Like maybe the first lady would either like to be vegan or is struggling with the lifestyle. Then for woman two, she may have the intention to get her masters and feeling bad that she doesn’t have it. I do wonder if maybe you have a very impressive profile that they feel intimidated by and in turn, want to make themselves look good. Who knows. But in a genuine way, not every woman is like that and hopefully you get a chance to encounter the ones who aren’t.

It wasn't just two. I could've kept going.

Are you joking? Men lie constantly.

Not the question I asked. If you want to talk about what men do make your own question. 🙂
