What if a person looks very young? He/she wants and is capable of being with a younger individual. Their feelings, actions, and life style are accepted by younger people. What should this person do if placing their real age brings them only very old respondents. If per chance this person meets "the one", he/she tells the prospective mate quickly -- just after one date or two -- their proper age. Some people will reject this. Others will say, "It's fine. "Age is just a number". If one knows and acts responsibly, I think it's okay. I've also found out that most folks in the older generation do this very frequently. (Especially men). There is only one problem. That, being the older folk are receiving enormous results from "very young" respondents. Query: Are these very young ones wanting a mother/father figure? Are they searching for a rich person to take care of them financially? There are different reasons why people lie about their age. We should recognize that in some cases, it's necessary -- as long as that person tells the truth quickly -- giving the prospective mate the info before circumstances get heavily involved.
