Hi,Folks and Happy New Year!


I'd been communicatiing with this guy on E-Harmony for about a month now. We exchanged about 10 e-mails and he gave me his cell#. I e-mailed him andasked what would be a good time and day to call? So, he responded and gave me a time and a day to call. I recieved another email from him and he told me "hedid respresent himself truthfully"he told me his name is not Bill it's Bob.....I'm just using different names,of course and he also told me he's not 43yrs.old but 50. I was sooo disapointed and ask myself whyplay these stupid games. He mentioned in the e-mail the reason he gave a false name was for beinganonymous.....but the reason he lied about his age????? Should I give this guy a call and give him the benefit of the doubt or call it a deal breaker?

if sumone lies about one lil thing, then he'll lie a lot of other lil things too. bill, bob, whatever he is, you say you emailed him like 10 already? honestly, what other lil fibs will he tell you next?


and 50? instead of 43? helloooooo. dont get sucked into his b.s. you wanna still know him its up to you, but always weigh up everything he says to you as oposed to the actual things that even true.

Uh . . . I'll take "Men I Won't Date" for $5,000 Alex. The man lied. You gotta wonder what else he's lying about. If he's that insecure about himself that he has to be dishonest, then you gotta problem with him already. Move on to someone who actually remembers his real name and how old he is.

Real men who are actually looking for a relationship have no reason to lie about their age. I'm 51, and I've met LOTS of women who lie about their age, but men don't care. They're not vain about their agelike women are. This guy obviously has ahidden agenda, which is why he lied in the first place. He's testing your stupidity to see if you'll still meet him anyway, even after he reveals that he lied, because if you fall for it, he knows you'll be a good victim. Do you really want to meet him in person and find out what he REALLY wants from you? If you do, take a can of mace, a bodyguard, and maybe a gun. There are too many liars in this world already.

DEAL BREAKER!! I met a guy online a couple years ago. He was so paranoid about his identity, he lied to me about his name, his age, and where he lived - everything that helps in really getting to know someone. He never trusted me completely and still thinks I was just after his money. I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he fessed up, but looking back, I should have cut things off then and there. Just call it a deal breaker and walk away.

Are you in your thirties? Guys lie about their age because they're after younger women. Maybe he's older than 50?


And I agree with the others. He'll probably have a whole stash of lies in waiting -- the past number of marriages, his profession/ income, smoker/nonsmoker, etc. Don't waste your time.
