There really is no point in lying about it

Those who are too young know it anyway

and those who are too old really dont care!!

I can relate sundance. The last 5 dates I've had, men ask me out, we have a great time but as soon as they find out I am 53, the date is over and I never hear from them again. It is so obvious it's makes me chuckle.

I don't think lying about it will help. The truth will eventually be known. I'd rather end the relationship before coming emotionally involved if age is that big an issue with these men.

Thanks - Maybe the next time a younger man asks me out I should simply say ... I would love to have dinner with you, I am 53, does this matter to you? I could save him the cost of a dinner.rolling on the floor laughing

You shouldn't lie even if ya think it's a little white lie and it doesnt hurt
As soon as ther other person finds out they will think
Hmmmm what else has he lied about?
And everything you gave your heart about will be in question.

Id go with Mr Honesty in the center for the win! (WooHoo circle get a [ ])

Don't lie. As others have said it raises questions as to overall honesty once willingness to lie has been established. Friends tell me if I coloured my hair I could "pass" for younger but why would I want to deny my life?

I am 54...54 is just a number. I have dated younger men and they were couch potatoes and couldn't keep up with me. Lying is not getting the relationship off to a good start. You don't look your ages...mighty damn good I say (Sundance and Assets) Be proud of who you are Sundance. If the relationship is meant to be whether the woman is 34 to 64....thats just the way it goes. The older we get the harder it is to find a partner...yup...but we are seasoned like a fine wine....grin

My gray hair gives me away anyway...uh oh

I actually went on a date where this person had clearly lied about her age - say at least 10 years, maybe more (not sure how old those pics were)! It was a little disconcerting. I suppose, in the end, what does that say about a person in that they would lie in the first place?

I've noticed elsewhere the citing of a different age in specifics, then mentioning their correct age in their ad. The reason, apparently, is they did not want to be eliminated from searches for a certain age.

I say run with who you are my man. Who you are and what you are (and being honest) should rightly prevail... dancing

Totally agree!

Don't lie... not about anything. If you look younger than your age, let that become apparent in the pics you post... or when you meet.

Looking younger... what is that? It's meaningless. Either your appearance is appealing to another person, or it's not.

mho.
