The women you are deceiving are actual human beings, even if they are "just" online. I am not sure why you think they deserve it to be lied to, but not the people you meet in real life. Isn't the idea to meet them and start a real-life relationship? Good luck with that when they realize your first act was to make fools of them. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Now we know what kind of person you really are, I guess. Dishonest... on top of everything else.
Well, I mean lying is okay if you're just trying to get laid. But it sounds like OP would want way more than that.

I never understood why people lie about their age on their profiles. If a woman is 40 but says she is 36, that isn't such a big deal. I've met a women online who said she was 36 but was actually 39.

That was the least of my problems. She spent the date telling me about how her divorce proceedings were going, how unhappy she was and how she needed a long term relationship. I knew all this within the first hour of meeting her.

She was astonished at how upbeat, positive, and happy I was. There was no second date. Lol

Are you actually looking for an honest relationship or a baby maker, though? Because I get the impression that the woman is secondary, and you just want to pass on your genes.

If you really are 47, maybe you need to recalibrate your expectations in life.

Don't lie about your age. Any quality woman would drop you the second she finds out, and it isn't going to stop the older women from messaging you.

I don't understand why anyone lies about their age, period. I love telling people my age.

In dating terms, I think some people do it because they think that "once they get a foot in the door" the other person won't mind that they fudged the numbers a little in order to get a date. It's the same reasoning that compels people to post old pics of themselves or photos of others.

It is funny. Most single guys I meet want to prevent pregnancies, not want to cause pregnancies.

I agree about not lying about age.

I think he's better off meeting women in person. Get that in person experience right away.

I don't know why people do that! I went on a date with someone who lied about their height by 20cm! I couldn't get past it even though we had lovely conversations prior to meeting. People should just be honest!

I've dumped every online date who confessed to lying about his age. I busted a couple too. I have no time for scumbag liars.

What's wrong with wanting to pass on his genes?

This is why I think it's a good idea that OP either figures out a way to date much younger or goes overseas. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man trying to date younger. Women his own age are all but infertile (and, yes, I'm sure you know someone that gave birth when she was 97 years old.....but that's the exception, not the rule).

There is no such thing karma. OP would have been rejected by the same women whether or not he rejected any particular woman.

I believe that you are the one that I was talking to yesterday that specifically stated that you only date tall, good-looking guys online (and IRL).

Would you have responded if you knew his height? Unlikely. So, in this case, he was pretty much on the money. Wouldn't you say?

It depends on what you're looking for. I lie online all the time because I use dating sites exclusively for sex. I have absolutely no connection to them IRL so it won't affect me and I have no interest in anything long-term with them.
