It really comes down to it
I'm a psychologist when it comes to relationships, i want to figure out the why's behind everything.
I would first look at the difference in age, if its a year or two off, its whatever to me, but lets say she turns out to be 5 or 6 years older than she first said i would have doubts
Now in both cases i would want to know why she lied about it, what made her feel like she couldnt be up front with me in the first place
I would seriously doubt how well that relationship would go seeing she already lied about such a irellevant point
If they lie about the things that I can test and verify or discredit, how can I trust them on the things where I must simply accept their word as the truth?
Want to see if true love conquers all... even lies!
A good long term relationship requires
L love, lust, and liking (different forms of attraction)
T trust
R respect
All the love in the world won't overcome a lack of trust for people in mature relationships.
I agree lol
I'd demand a valid explanation when I find out. If he can't offer even that, it'd be safe to believe he was a liar.
I agree
What is a valid explanation and what would not be a valid explanation?
What if he looked the same as the photos and lied about being 5 years younger than originally said. Is that still a deal breaker if he is the same person you originally had interests in?
Nvm i just realized you didn't say deal breaker. But would you think thats a deal breaker?
Lol it's cool I still got notified
Not sure... seems like a lame thing to lie about. I'm not sure I'd be able to trust anything else afterwards.

No probably not but I'd want some explanation why he lied. I know some people look younger than their age when they are old and if they put their real age on the dating app they might get passed over even if they are healthier than people younger than them.
That picture is funny!!
Most likely yes. I can't live my life constantly wonder if he is lying.
I met a few ladies who 'subtracted' a couple of years from their actual age when we met first.
I see it more as 'tactics' than being a lie.
But 'the moment of truth' should be early - for fairness.
There had been one girl who 'forgot' 5 years of her past and she -emm- did not make it. But for other reasons than 'telling a lie': she lacked these 5 years of individual evolution and so was too distant to mine.
At our age we will definitely see this... Most times they really didn't even have to do it! Insecurity can be a bitch!
On 'dating apps' I can understand it somehow: there are these 'search' filters and someone can easily be left out to be seen. I mean: 'we' men have certain 'expectations'; I guess, no one really looks for an 'old' girl ('old' in thoughts, activities, ... a 'granny' if one wants to name it like this).
Funny 'story' from the past: At a (train) ticket counter a lady in front of me once asked for a 'senior' rate. When the guy at the counter asked her age, she snapped: "Old ENOUGH, young man." ... :D
When i was 15 my ex told me his was 15 14 16 18. I was so dang confused. I didn't break up with him. I just did my research and found out we were same age. So i dont believe anyones age initially. If it turns out theyre more than the age range i go for, id prob leave
I don't take very well to be lied to. Honestly is important. I understand that sometimes someone is put under a lot of pressure, and may lie. It's human nature, though not the best part of human nature. However, there is no "great pressure" pushing someone to lie about their age. That is a deliberate, calculated, deceptive act.
It would probably depend on why, and if they had a habit of lying about other things as well. I wouldn't appreciate it, but I would give them a chance to at least explain why they thought it was necessary.
Something that's pointless to lie about. I'm an overly cautious person. With an overly cautious family. I'm going run a background check on you for my own safety. I'd I don't I know my family will.
So gonna find out regardless no pointing lying. But I definitely wouldn't speak to a person who does.
Also - lol at the picture. That actually happens a lot on dating sites. Which is why I steer clear of them.
The man in the picture is at LEAST 23! What a liar!
Ha ha ha
You think after 25 years of marriage and she lied about her age. I guess I just have to keep her than.
i agree!
I guess it depends on how they lied about their age and why. For instance, a lot of people have inaccurate ages on dating apps, girls usually a little older than their actual age, guys a little younger. As long as she was legal I'd be fine, just would like an explanation.
If it was more than a year, then I'd want a valid explanation like, I could be drafted for war (I know, not likely), and not something like, "I knew you wouldn't love me.". No Carl, not since you lied to me *EXAMPLE* well that's my two cents, someone come disagree with me
Depends in the age range, anything above 6 years my age age or you know... it being illegal is kinda out of bounds.
Ah who am I kidding if she’s younger I’m all ears.
Lol 😂
Yes. But I don’t understand why the heck peoples lie about their age when dating someone. Especially that today with our current technology anyone can know about you
Age is irreverent. The lie is not. If it's so easy to lie about something so minor, how easy will it be for her lie about other things?
Yes! What if she were a minor in a hurry to grow up? Why would I want such a burden on my shoulders?
The minor thing is quite disturbing. I saw on the news a dude got arrested because she said she was 18 and lied but he still went to jail.
You should never start a new relationship with a lie. You won't be able to trust them with anything else
Agree... not sure why people do !
Yeah, because if they lied about something so small and simple; who knows what else they lied about.
Yes, I don’t want a guy whose older than me by 2 years, nor younger than me by 2 years.
Hmm I'm sure honestly. If they lied by a HUGE years gap thennn yeah
Yeah. I would break up if they lied about their age! 💯
Cool
