| Post subject: | Adjusting Age |
Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I have a dilemma that I’d like to get some opinions on….what are all of your thoughts on “adjusting” your age? I am 39 years old, but literally look a solid ten years younger, easily. The other day I met a girl and adjusted my age to 32, and she swore that I was lying and that I wasn’t that old- insisting I was mid to late 20’s. Point being, I can get away with the lie. What pitfalls does anyone see in this? Both online and in person. With online dating especially, I feel like the girls are going to write you of right away if they are in that 24-29 range as too old (fwiw I am not looking to date anyone college age, but mid to late 20’s would be nice). One fear that I have is that they are going to google me and find my true age and calling me out on my b.s.….which to be honest, I don’t know how easy that would be to do but it’s a concern I have. I guess if that happens, I just move on to the next, right? One caveat in all this….I am not looking for anything serious, just coming out of a nine year relationship…. Not interested in dating anyone for more than a month or so anyway so I figure, what’s the harm in them not knowing my correct age? Appreciate any insights in advance….. |

I don't think your age is an issue unless you make it one. There are worse things to lie about... I just think there's not really a reason to lie about age. Chicks like older guys, anyway. I regularly date about 10 yrs younger than I am (I am 36)... Downfalls of lying about it: If it ever becomes something serious, you'll have to come clean eventually. |

This can be a conflicting thing. Some would argue that the women on online dating sites are always lying. They lie about their looks, weight, and sexual history(okcupid quizzes). And men lie about things like Jobs, height, and age. Because online is all perception. Unlike like when you approach a woman in person and she has the opportunity to submit herself to the strength of your frame online. When we're having the conversation of whether or not looks matter.. I would agree that online.. Looks do matter. But in person human nature comes into play and a man that knows his true masculine power understands that feminine energy must submit to it. Online dating doesn't present that option. Its shallow. Its designed to be that way. I had written an article about the time I was doing Okcupid research so i was making different profiles with different heights, occupations, ages etc. and just seeing what women were responding to. I ended up in a relationship with a girl that liked a profile that was nothing like me at all. The content, the job, the vision. I had just fell in love and was keeping the image up for as long as I could. Ultimately it fell in dramatic fashion. The lies eat up at you and you begin taking some of that frustration out on the girl. Subconsciously feeling like she likes the perception of you and not who you truly are. So you have to be mindful.. Even if you're just in it to get laid, you never know what could happen. You could fall in love with a girl who you weren't honest with and that can create and awkward moment in the future. Women get upset when they find out you lied about your details, and men get upset when they find out women lied about their looks. I recommend being honest always, although the world of online dating isn't exactly a fair game. A simple height change from 5'10 to 6'1 can double your responses. Thats just what it is. In person always be honest because it doesn't matter nearly as much as you might think. My dad got divorced 6 months ago and is now dating a 27 year old attractive spanglish speaking dominican. And he's much older than you. He didn't lie about his age. But online, do what you will. Something as simple as a age isn't that much of a big deal. That'll blow over easy once she's met you. Just let that be the only thing. This is the reason I've renounced online dating. Its not the same game. Its reprogramming all of us in a way thats destroying relationships. |
