Why do people lie about their age? What do they have to hide?

[BLP11520]

Are you tired of online dishonesty?

Women are judged by their age, and Men are judged by their finances. Hence women lie about their age and Men lie about their salary.

Never ask a woman her age, and man his salary.

I make 80,000 a year lol which is true

[Pennywise_6]

It's usual... and given.
The internet is when people can be who they want to be.. unless you meet them face to face.

[BLP11520]

Never thought of that

Judgement.

Yeah, past 40 it's pretty much a guarantee women are going to lie about thier age. I always joke about how every woman over 40 looks 25 anymore (not an exaggeration). But I just accept all woman lie at least 50% of the time anymore. Regardless of what she's talking about. It's not an exact science. But it's pretty much a safe bet.

And no, it doesn't bother me that much anymore. That is, I've learn to just accept it as an inevitability with women. I've just learned to always keep my guard up because you really can't believe most of what she says.

Simple. It helps their chance of bedding a younger women. Younger the better (up to a legal point!) for casual. For serious, it's different but you want to show up on a girl's dating app. When I was 35 I'd put 32 and I'm sure I slept with girls I'm their mid 20s that 32 was the maximum age range they set.

Different reasons. To get into a nightclub, to buy cigarettes and/or alcohol, etc. The reasons are endless.

Privacy. If a web site asks for personal information, including my age, they aren't getting it. It might be close, but it won't be my exact birthday.

[Sevenpointfive]

i forget my age all of the time. i have to think pretty hard to get it right. but age is just a number so they say. like a bank account. you don't want a girl after that do you?

[TommyMountainFigure]

What do people who lie about their age have to hide? Why their age of course!

[Anonymous]

What is online dishonesty? I do lie about my real name even. Now internet is so much unsafe place for anyone that we cannot trust anyone. Then how can we share our real information with anyone online?

[loladevine]

There’s soooo many reasons. Too seem more mature, to seem more innocent, or to prey on children are the ones I’ve seen.

[Levin]

So you're either a police sting account or like 13 in reality.

[loladevine]

@Levin LMAO

[Theworldislost]

A woman was arrested today for this exact reason. She posed as a 14 year old online to get and make underage material...

[loladevine]

@Theworldislost gross! Icky! Happens a lot literally sooo much. But it’s impossible to prevent online☹️

[Theworldislost]

It shouldn't be impossible to prevent.

[loladevine]

@Theworldislost Nothings impossible but I don’t think it will ever happen, what’s your idea

[AviatorTom]

If age is just a number, what difference does it make what the number is?

[Anonymous]

Older if they are trying to pass an ID check, younger if they want to attract younger people or claim to be younger usually requires surgery to back it up

[CocacolaGirl1993]

I don't think they're lying to us. I think they are lying to themselves.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't, I'm not ashamed or something :D

[handsomelad70]

I don't because most people assume I'm 40 to 45 rather than 70.

[Nikki1989]

Paranoia, maybe.

[OfDeath]

Their age

[jahaims]

They are stupid
