I believe that lying about anything concerning you personally serves no purpose and will eventually be found out. So, what's the point? I am what I say I am, my pictures are current and I believe and practice total honesty. If someone likes what they see, fine, if not, also fine. What you see is what you get.

No, no baby, please, don��t send me your recent picture. The one taken by your cell phone or web cam. The one without the precious care of a professional.

No, baby, please, let me have just the picture you chose to put in your profile, the one you have decided you are in your best. You ha��ve always been in your best here with me, baby, got in your privacy and intimacy, hidden by the distance and the anonymity.

No, just don��t spoil everything, don��t make me face the reality. I have plenty of it through the long day��s hours when I am without you.

No, just let me fantasy and dream with our perfect relationship and romance, passion and love.

You know, baby, sometimes I wonder how blind people fall in love. The lover��s voice shall be important but most important shall be the lover��s personality. I want to fall in love with you like if we were blind.

Our future is so enigmatical, we don��t know when, and even if, we are going to meet, so, baby, please, don��t send me your recent picture, nor show me your picky mood parts. Let me live this wonderful, unrealistic cyber present life.

I have been briefly in and out of dating forums over the past ten years.., as I do not go to bars, etc.. Over this time, I have had communication with many women in these sites.. and about 80% of the time (before we get past emails/ phone calls and about to set up a meeting/date).. I have heard the same "final minute confessions"..:

- My pic is not as recent as I said it was.. (sometimes as much as 15 years old)

- My relationship status isn't exactly as I said it was... (married/just separated/etc.)

- I do have children, but I didn't want to bring it up.. (some with 5-6)

- etc/etc/etc..

Therefore..., I have dated very few times, during these years.., because I won't begin a relationship founded on lies..

..And I am pretty sure, from what the platonic ladies in my life have told me, that it happens with men, too.., so this isn't a thread just directed at women..

Why lie..?

You eventually have to meet this person at some future point.., so why start off lying about who you really are..? I'm sure many people get stood up, because they have someone looking for a younger person..

If you aren't confident enough about who you are and what you want in life, by the time you reach 50.., maybe a dating site isn't the best place to begin spending your free time..?

Just a thought... and yours are all welcome, too..
I think some don't meet people purposely because they don't want to fess up. There was a guy on here got into a long distance relationship she went every far to see him and he bailed. but she had contact with his sister when he bailed she found out allot and yes his pic was avery young one. He was fat and older. I got fat and older but I want someone to luv my curves :wink: and I admit it and I still don't have anyone. But I still date the first guy I met on here. He knows a good thing but I keep that one friends for a reasonpitchfork

If you lie about something as small as your age.Got dam it what you want lie plucking about.
This lady talked and chated with this guy for over six months. She told the guy she only like hung men okay. He was like 6'7" tall 300 lbs shoe size like 15" and she knew he was packing big time. He sent her the money to come see him. 1500 bucks She got there and in less than 15 mins he drop his pants. She said he had like a 3 1/2 incer. She told him oh hell nooooooooooo! Sunday when she was leaving he told her let him stick his packer in her stuff and his thumb in her booty at thesame time. She smile and said hella no you stick your thumb in my stuff and your pecker in my booty. Because your thumb is bigger than your pecker. LMAO and I was told this story over 18 years ago on old aol chat.

i'd say 70 % of women on these dating sites lie about their age or put in photos of themselves when they were younger and slimmer and when u meet them u think u got their mother or fat ugly sister lol

also women over 50 should be proud of their body and dress younger and more suggestive ; why do alot of women dress like their grannies did at their age ; fashion has moved forward and at any age u can make yourself more appealing by the clothes you chose to wear ; i;m not saying dress like a hoe but if you want go for it ; people or especially women put other women down for dressing suggestively cause they are afraid of losing their man to that woman and are not positive about their own sexuality so they put other down ; plus many men are no different seeing a woman dressed extra sexy thing they are a hoe ; our attitudes about dress has to change and stop thinking like your grandpa did or grandma did

The men and women I have met in person from this site were mostly accurately described in their profile and their pictures were recent.

I added dates to my pics because this is a topic that gets brought up a lot so I'm assuming it happens a lot.

:wink: Gosh that is a good question.I guess if you never plan to see this person people may be comfortable with that but if u know that u are going to meet why do that to yourself its like going on a blind date and someone says they are hot and they are not.Ever watch Catfish same thing... just ask that person to please send a recent pic if you are going to meet,why put alote of time into something and it be disappointing.People have to like you for who you are so be for real.Good luck....

I guess a lot of people lie on these sites so you have to be kind of a detective to get past them.There are guys on here as well who post fake profiles and pics aplenty.I am not looking for younger guys and they just keep on trying to contact me.I prefer a long distance relationship because I would like to get to know the person first.I have been on and off these websites for years but have never really got onto forums or given them much attention because I was always too busy. I am enjoying reading the posts at the moment to see what is going on.Well that is just my 2 cents worth. P.S. I Belonged to another well known dating website for years without really using it and when I did start using it was removed for having a FAKE profile. Couldnt believe that one but I refused to log in with my FB login and I blocked so many scammers I guess thats why.
