Lying about your age

Have you ever lied (adding or subtracting) about your age? If you dated someone and later discovered that they lied to you about how old they were, would that be grounds enough for you to end the relationship?

1. No


and 2. I'd want to know why the hell they lied.

bout it but no - I've never actually lied about my age. Around my birthday, I'll joke about how I'm going to start subtracting years, instead of adding them, but if someone asks me, I'll just tell them.

If someone lied about their age, I'd REALLY want to know why. It wouldn't be a good sign for me.

When I was a teenager, I'd lie about being older all the time. Adding a year to my age, like that mattered at all. After I turned 30, a few times I did try and say "28", but I eventually got over there and kept it real.

Never lied about my age. From 51 to 55 I would tell those who asked that I was near 50. Not a lie. Can't help it if they erroneously thot I was 46 or something.

I did stay 60 on MySpace for a few years, changing my b'day but found I got more propositions being older. There's a whole culture of young men who want a daddy. Hey, works for me.

Haven't lied about my age since before I turned 21. If I don't feel like being specific, I'll just be vague with my answer (early 30's), or I'll say that I had all my big boy hairs when Kurt Cobain committed suicide. For the most part, I will just come right out and answer the question.

Of course when I was a teenager, I might've told people I was 18 or older a few times. Matter fact, I definitely did.....I remember when me and my cousin were vacationing in Miami when I was 15 and we met these guys who were staying at the same hotel we were. She was already 18, I told them I was 18 too (they were 21 and 22). But even when I was a teenager, I didn't lie about my age that often. After actually turning 18, I definitely didn't. And I still don't.

Maybe. I guess it would depend on how much off they were about their age. I remember I met this guy when I was 20 and he told me he was 23. Went out with him a few times and I was sitting in his car on this one particular date and he left his license in this compartment in the console and I nicely looked at it. This nigga was 33. Normally, I would've busted him out about that, but it didn't phase me that much cause I wasn't digging him like that. I let it go. Needless to say, I hardly ever spoke to him after that.

I did when I was 16, I told a guy I met that I was 17. I was already attending community college at that point and that's where I met him and I didn't want him to be scared off and someone had told him that I was 17, so I didn't correct them. BUT, then one day I was looking at his driver's license and I saw that he was actually 20 and he had told me that he was 19! So we were actually four years apart, each thinking we were 3 years apart, and thinking that the other thought we were 2 years apart.

When I realized that he was 20 it got kind of weird for me. He also looked exactly like pictures of Jesus, and he smoked a lot of pot, which meant when I was with him I did too, and the Jesus thing would freak me out when I was all paranoid. I don't remember exactly if it ended because of the lie or our ages, but I know that it was amicable until one day he just stopped talking to me and would literally give me the silent treatment when we were all hanging out. MONTHS later, he came up to me and apologized. He said he had treated me unfairly because he thought something bad about me that he found out wasn't true...I pestered him until he told me what it was: He thought I gave him an STD because he had a UTI and didn't go to the doctor for a long time.

I don't think I ever have. As far as being with someone he fudged their age with me, I guess it would depend on by how much their real age was in relation to mine.
