It is amazing how many men lie about their age!
I know a male on this site, that I chatted with in 2002, {on another website}.
He was 39 in 2002, and he finally RECENTLY changed the age on his CollarMe profile to 40.
I would say his pictures are about 10 years old also, he is on here every day.
I just laugh and tease him.
How can we demand honesty from total strangers?
If, after some connection is made, AND we plan to meet, then I might "expect" more.
I've seen this a lot in the ads, too. Some men post their age as "40ish" and then say they're really 55....they're just looking for "40ish" women and they want to show up in their searches. Or, the 20 year old photograph is the primary one, and they get progressively older in the secondary photos. Or, they say, "Oops, somehow my age got listed as 38, I'm really 52 and I can't change it!" Or, they wear a baseball cap over their bald head. Or, they post 18 photos with the same facial expression and dazzling smile, just with different backgrounds and clothing. "Damn, don't I look good?"
I've had men get snippy with me because my hair wasn't the same style as in the photo. Like I get a new one taken every time I get a haircut. I have one very flattering photo of myself in a party hat that I do share a lot. One guy wouldn't answer my well-thought-out introductory email until I sent him a photo without the hat. Yes, I have 666 tattooed on my forehead.[:-] (I didn't send one or write back)
I understand how looks are important, but it's too bad they can't be a LITTLE less important and peoples' personalities and character can be a little MORE important. But, it's still mostly all about what you look like in the photo, and the photos aren't to give a general idea of what you look like, you'd better look EXACTLY like that!
