Question for the ladies...

If you met a guy and he told you he was 27 (you're 24 in this case) but later he told you he was actually 32 and lied, would you consider this a deal breaker?

I have no idea why I did this; its not even in character for me to lie/hide my real age, but last night I met this girl and when she asked my age I told her 27 ...now I'm not sure if I should even bother calling her. We hit it off pretty well though. Opinions?

It's usually better to cover up you lies with more lies. The more fanciful the better. Try and work the peace corps, US Government mind control experiments, extraterrestrials, and PETA in your explanation of your behavior.

Wait until age comes up again, then correct her and make her feel stupid for being wrong.

lmao, AB's suggestion, or call her and just tell her the truth. say you were drunk and you don't know why you said it and you feel really bad and that you hope she can forgive you.

I would not say that but for some silly reason when you turn 30 you look at things differently...

I'd say it all comes down to how long you think this girl is going to be around and as you get to know her, find out if age is an issue for her.

If it is get what you can and move on, she is going to find out sooner or later...


Somewhere along the talks i'd probe her about whats the oldest guys shes dated and take it from there...

But I would not spill the beans yet...

well, the age thing wouldnt make a difference to me, but the fact that you lied about it right away and I dont know you very well would set off a little red flag on if you were going to keep lying about things.

I personally would just push it off, considering that if i were said female and 24 I could see why you would down your age some

I'm leaning this way; get her hooked on the cack then break the bad news that i'm an old man to her later

thanks for the responses.

I'd go with AB's suggestion. Was it loud there? Was she really drunk? Say she must have misheard you or you were really drunk and thought she asked about something else I know it's a stretch but that's the best i have

i once lied about my penis size... It was a deal breaker once she saw it and wasnt as advertised.

You might have better luck with age, good luck!

I don't see the big deal, not like being 16 and saying you're 18.

Tell her you were drunk and she was so perfect that you didnt want to scare her off with your age...and you knew you were being dumb but its been bothering you ever since you said it.

This will have a couple things working against the trust issue:

You'll compliment her.
Show her how interested you are in her.
Show her you are not good at lying and cant stand it (even if thats complete bullshit)

come off sounding REALLY desperate, like you haven't had sex since you were actually 27

fixed...

You'll be surprised that some women dig older men, maybe she's one of those. Just correct her next time.

If she really likes you, she might shrug it off and appreciate the fact that you are risking your chances with her just so that you can be honest.

Unfortunately that will not work b/c women get really PRECEPTIVE when a man is 27 or over 30 (more like 32).

There's a difference.

I spoke to my friends about this and they reminded me of why I might have lied about this. I didn't remember until they told me but apparently my buddy's 21 yr old intern that was hanging out with us mentioned to me that I could pass for 24 that night...I'm guessing I didn't believe him and wanted to test the waters a little by trying 27 on for size.

guess i was pretty

anyway..my last gf was 23 and she had a thing for older guys so i know this isn't necessarily a deal breaker. i'll probably call her tonight. oh, possibly complicating things, apparently my friend (girl) who was with us that night grabbed the card her number was written on out of my wallet and called her at 3am and asked for some random girl. who knows what was said. oh well.

I actually had a guy tell me that he was 28 when he was indeed 33 (I was 25). I forgave him for lying but then later found out that he had an 11 year old son that he also "forgot" to mention. Now I will not give a guy a second glance if he lies.

He told me about his age right away but did not tell me about his son until a few months after I told him to take a hike. He was very fishy and I thought that he might be married or have a girlfriend, which is why I broke it off. In the end I found out that he was running home to take care of his son...not a wife.

I guess you meant perceptive but what exactly do you mean? Are women more cautious of older single guys?

I don't see the need for you to lie. 32 is not old. I'm 20 and I would date a 32 year old. Don't lie and pretend she "forgot" your age. I know that when I meet a guy, I remember his age before I even remember his name. Just tell her the truth. You were being silly and you hope she forgives you because you like her. And you DO like her because you are writing in this forum about her which is kinda cute.
