I think that you should tell them your real age... Age is just a number! It doesn't mean anything!! But that's just my opinion!

No! 
Do not lie about your age! 
What would it hurt, really? Trust.

No you shouldn't lie about your age. You are looking at the wrong profiles. Age doesn't matter anyway.

No don't lie. If you date someone you really like and she found out (and she will) that you lied about your age, she's going to wonder what else you lied about and will not trust you.

I agree with this post, if you lie about your age, one way or the other it could come back to haunt you......

lol thanks Dave, it wasn't me that I had in mind though when I said my bit, I never ever lie about my age, know someone who did lie to me though and I found out and as lonelygirl said, once I found out he'd lied about that I couldn't trust him not to tell any more lies, so it haunted him alright Mind you, I seem to get the ones who lie about everything except their age nowadays, so don't know if thats a good thing or what

I know what you are saying...
............When..........some of the younger ones reach 50 + or even in their 40's, they will
experience the understanding.
Some of (us) people 'do' look younger than our years. I figure if anyone is interested or
interesting, then, we will get all that straightened out. The intention, of course, will be
complete honesty.
Give us all a break about the AGE thing. Society nearly requires people to look, act, and
behave 30 years old or less. That doesn't mean we have to concede to wiles of society, but it
certainly encourages those of the little bit older group to be somewhat more discreet about
our age. It, actually is, really, healthier to think young without putting an age number to it
for anyone.

Well, lying isn't a good starting point for any relationship, is it? It will only be revealed at some point and then you will be revealed as a liar. Lovaboy is right about letting your personality shine through, unless you don't feel you can't get by on personality alone and have to compensate in some way?
Feeling old and out of the game? You wanna try being a woman that's the wrong side of 35........ even all the really, really old guys only want the young girlies. Clearly that indicates unrealistic expectations and immaturity (plus a desire for little intellectual competition) but still does nothing for us more mature ladies.
I don't care how much a man has going for him, looking younger than his years, few wrinkles, or anything completely unrelated to age........... if he lies to me....... BYE BYE!!!

I always tell the truth about my age, people always tell me I look younger and I think I've been really lucky in that respect. But aging is a part of life, you can't run from it, you can't hide from it. I guess because I have children that are younger I have a wide range of interests that are more in tune with someone younger. As far as lying is considered, sooner or later the truth will catch up with you. I agree with what you said about the attitude of most people towards people over 50, they think we are all ready for the rocking chair! In as far as women looking for younger men, that is relatively new. Initially it was men always looking for younger women, if a woman went after someone younger she was the talk of the town. Now the tables have turned and many women don't look at age as a deterrent in a relationship.
I think as long as long as you are comfortable with your age and the person you are involved is as well, who cares?

Okay the delimma. I don't lie. I think lying is wrong, and a horrible way to start out any type of relationship, even friendship. However, when I look at profiles women almost NEVER say they are looking for men over 48. It is almost like that is the cut off point. Even women that are older are looking for younger than 50. It is reasonable though. Most people see 50 as being over the hill.
I can understand that to a degree. But I am not OLD. I look young, I feel young, I don't have hardly any wrinkles and just a few gray hairs. Yet my self esteem has been trampled down to the point, I am starting to feel old and completely out of the game. I feel like I am not taken seriously, and just perceived as a dirty old man, and not in the least bit sincere. Maybe it is just me... lol
So, do you think I should lie about my age and say I am 46? What would it hurt really?
