Yes, I've done it, and no, its not wrong.
Simply... No... Reason - Nothing worse in this world then "Liers".....
i've pretended to be older several times before, it's worked out good.

The end.

I don't know what liers are but I know what liars are. :P
why lie about your age? because then your relationship would have started on lies. No r'ship is strong built on lies.

Why a relationship? It could just be a one night thing.

Anyway, depends really. For a one night thing, yeah, why not? If its gonna be a relationship though, then like strawberry, no.
yeah I agree with the one night thing. :smile:

I used to before I turned 18, but I don't anymore
its wrong. you'll get found out in the end

to be with a particularly lovely older man/woman? Is it wrong to lie about your age?


Unless you're 5 years old and you say you're 18. But you'd have to be pretty damn convincing.

I don't lie about my age as such, I just don't correct people i.e. most people think i'm 16/17 when i'm actually 20! :frown:
hmm
what about if your a 15 year old girl and tell an older man you are 17 or 18

he starts a sexual relationship with you and then finds himself facing paedophilia charges
Ive lied, well not corrected when they guessed i was 21 etc. .....worked out fantastically for most, except one where he found out - but only after i'd left so never had to face the music

I wouldnt do it... if i ended up really really liking the person id lied to, i'd end up having to confess or theyd find out and the whole relationship would be doomed from the start.

I suppose if youe just looking for a shag or someone to chat to it cant hurt lol

I think that he wouldn't actually - if he genuinely believes that she is over 16 then unless she's 13 or under the charges are much less serious. Unless of course he actually rapes her in which case it's the same as if he raped anyone else.

I've never lied about my age to people in real life. When I was younger and used crappy chatrooms I occasionally said I was a year or two older than I was. Now, there's no point - it's not like it'd be dodgy for anyone to be with a 21 year old. Although I'm with a 20 year old, so they wouldn't get anywhere anyway :wink:
I could........but I haven't.

Graham Rix, the former Hearts manager got involved in a relationship with a girl who was 15 but said she was older. When he didn't continue with it, the girl told her mother who then got very annoyed and told the police that he had exploited his position as a high profile personality with a young girl.
Result - Rix goes to prison and has to endure a lifetime of people chanting "paedo" at him.
