I am not too sure as I haven't dealt with a situation like that. I want to say dealbreaker but I feel like if their actual age isn't too far off I wouldn't be that offended.
Lying is always a dealbreaker, regardless the excuse.
Finally, someone else who sees lying/dishonesty for what it is.
It’s difficult, and most people don’t accept difficulty well.
Deal breaker and red flag at once, I'd never lie about something as important as age, it's very basic decency to not do this
Lmao. This is rich coming from you.
I didn't do this deliberately and prior to managing to getting my actual age in my profile, I said said dozens of times (so much that my board has it pasted) what my actual age is, there's no one in my private chat that doesn't know about it
But you're 37; right?
I'm 17
Hmm. Okay.
It’s weird tbh. I find it weird specifically bc I like older men. Older men (not all but some) have a problem with lying about age. They’re 43 but they tell u they’re 39. To me the age doesn’t matter but I don’t like that lying
Shoes inmaturity for sure and a rad flag that she thinks it ok do that in first place. I would be on high alert in I was in your shoes. If she was 16 you could be in trouble with law and not even know why.
Red flag for me, if this person already has to lie about something so stupid, who knows what else they're lying about
That's a deal-breaker.
They show I cannot trust them. What else would they be lying about.
And it's manipulative as well.
Does plant a seed of doubt. That’s what cheating does. If done once it’s more likely to happen again.
Lying about age shows you are a liar. And it is a good sign you will lie again to get your way. I rejected a guy for being a smooth talker at one point. Never date someone who is dishonest
Dealbreaker. If she was under 18 and lied - just insane.
Why did she lie? How old did she say she was?
It depends on how. Say I'm 14 and a boy I like is 16. I might say I'm 15. Thats not bad. but if someones 30 and says their 20 that's bad.
I dated a girl who was 27 she told me she was 25 . I was 22 and I told her I was 24. We had a good laugh about it
Major red flag. My guy, you were lucky she’s 18 because your ass would’ve been locked up if she wasn’t legal age.
Deal breaker for me, I don’t personally mind if some one is a few years older or younger but that being said if the person lies about that what else could they tweak information wise about themselves.
Yep! Red flag and also a deal breaker as her age may determine my decision to be with her.
I'm sorry but how is that even a question? How is that not a deal breaker? Shouldn't it be obvious that it is?
Some people evidently don’t mind dishonesty. Easy to “laugh it off”. People are idiots.
@all_hayl Indeed.
Can be dangerous. My wife told me she was 20 when we first started dating. She lied by about 5 years.
A BIG red flag. If she lied about this knowing that the truth would eventually be revealed; what else did she lie about?
It depends on the situation. if a 25 year old told me he’s 19 and i later found out his real age I’d be a little uneasy.
