What's the most outrageous lie someone has fed you from online dating?

My most recent favorites straight out of Las Vegas are:

- A wall street stock broker taking the summer off in Las Vegas (sorry dude, that's not how that career works. Have a family member who used to be one.)
- A guy claiming to be a doctor then lists only having a bachelor's degree
- an Indian man claimed he was the guy from Slumdog Millionaire
- men who obviously are 15+ years older than their listed age...seriously guys...it's obvious. Please stop.

Oh man. Denying your own kids, my stomach literally got upset (momentarily) reading that.

I have plenty of candidates- can't chose only one!

1. Guy with a single profile pic, VERY wide face, described his build as "lean and toned".
2. Two guys who pounced as soon as my profile went up, with variations of the same story: "I'm about to end my paid membership here, but I (or my friend who was with me looking at profiles) thought you had a really nice smile. Please contact me/him at ....."
3. When searching on a profile name I once found two profiles with the same name, same picture, and ages 10 years apart.

I'm happy to say that the two guys I've met in person so far used realistic photos and were what they said they were, as far as I could tell.

“Entrepreneur” is code for “I barely have a job.”

I know- I'm new at on-line dating (and sometimes too trusting) but those were red flags. I reported them immediately.
