Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire...

Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire...

If someone you care about lies to you about their age, is that a big deal to you?

Does it concern you that if they'll lie about something so silly, that it stands to reason they're going to - or already have - lied about something important?

Do you consider it to be just a little white lie? Maybe that's how they see it, just a little white lie and no big deal. But then if that's the case, why lie in the first place?

I find it rather amusing that those who lie about the silly stuff are usually, although not always, the ones shouting the loudest about honesty being the best policy.

Oh, the irony...

it's a biggie and there's also the lies by omission...forgot to mention you had 3 wives instead of just one...some people think by omission its not lying if putting it out there might change what someone thinks than thats a lie too..

je ne regrette rien

Yes, it's really all the same thing wrapped up in deception.

Thanks for taking the time to comment

That my dear is the million dollar question..... But lies are not good in a place like this, little ones or big ones (fwar fwar)....

Did he lie in text or was it the profile age... I know there is a problem with this sites calculator, I've managed to stay 45 for a long time now (if only life could be like that) but my date is right in my profile....

Profile, but not a site problem, was deliberate.

Ha, well, I might see if I can stay 34 for as long as it suits me!

Just kidding, of course

Thanks for commenting.

It's not an acceptable lie - not in the 'do i look fat in this dress' little white lie category. But if a genuinely heartfelt apology follows then only you can make the best decision for you with the information you have.

Does it mean the trust you had before is gone? Most likely. That lie will probably always be with you and you'll always be wondering as Angus said,what's true and what isn't. Tough one. I wish you well

Thanks for the good wishes, "desiring", I appreciate that

Oh Holly

Hardly a great foundation for a friendship or relationship, is it? As you've said yourself, and others who have commented, if he lied about his age what else has he, and might he, lie about in the future?

Of course he'll tell you he won't lie again, and hopefully won't, but it's only natural for you to have that doubt in your mind and wonder if he's being honest with you.

I personally feel once the trust is gone, where do you go from there? If you can find it in your heart to forgive and get over your pain, perhaps there is hope, but only time will tell.

It's easy for us to sit back, judge, give our opinions and share our experiences, but it's not our decision to make, or our hurt to get over. So do what's best for you, and if that's being with someone you clearly have deep feelings for, and you can get over this hurdle,who knows what the future may hold for you. If not? Then enjoy the nice memories you made together

Best wishes to you both

A complex matter, lying... there's always that question of "what harm is done if they never find out?"

Then there is the question of who is worse, the man who says he's a brain surgeon to get laid or the woman who'd fuck him if she thinks he's a brain surgeon but wouldn't if she knew he worked in an office. He is after all the same man...

I do wonder how many people create totally false profiles on this site - age, marital status, education, job - without worrying about misrepresentation because it's just for "casual" sex.


Horny_Holly replies on 8/26/2014 5:08 am:
Complex, indeed.

Thousands, I'm sure. Perhaps the need to know the truth about another is less because the sex is going to be casual, no emotional attachment, etc. I'm not sure.

Thanks for your comments.

It's a tricky one. On the one hand it's not the worst lie to tell yet still a lie! It's an abuse of your trust and that is not acceptable in any way shape or form! If you forgive the lie can you also forget? Or will it fester at the back of your mind always wondering what else is he lying about? Questioning everything he says.

It's such a horrible situation to find yourself in I don't envy you the choice!!


Horny_Holly replies on 8/26/2014 5:00 am:
Those are indeed the important questions!

Thank you for your thoughts

A liar is a liar is a liar is a liar.........I M O.

I would definitely be wary of what else they're lying about. Sure it might be that's the only thing they've lied about but then again can you or do you want to take the chance? Being lied to hurts whether it's a white lie or a big black one!


Horny_Holly replies on 8/25/2014 2:18 pm:
Taking that chance, that is the dilemma. Could be something, could be nothing.

But then again...

And, yes, it does hurt to be lied
to.

I was just talking to someone earlier on instant messenger about this. He is 62 but his profile indicates 52. I have met this gentleman in person and that is how I know his real age. His reason for the little white lie is that women are only looking for oral and for that it doesnt matter how old the man is. I wasnt quite sure what to say about that. To each their own, but to me, ten years is a more than just a little white lie. Again, the MEN-tality (caps added for emphasis).


Horny_Holly replies on 8/25/2014 1:38 pm:
LOL @ "women are only looking for oral...so it doesn't matter how old the man is"....oh, yes, yes, it does! I'm not surprised you didn't know what to say, his reason is nothing short of ridiculous.

Did you know he'd lied because you met, by that I mean you knew from looking at him, or he told you when he met y
ou?
