Internet dating & revealing your 'real' age? What do you all think of this situation?

I have a woman friend who is 42 and she met her boyfriend on an internet dating site. She looks ten yeas younger. So she put her age down as 32 and chatted to this guy for 2 months. Then they met up for the first time and she told him her real age straight away. He didn't mind at all and they feel in lvoe. They have now been together for five years. What do people think of this? First of all, I thought it was a bit dishonest but I see her point...that many guys would have skipped her by in the searches not realising that she looks so good. Also, she made sure she was upfront with them on the first date so as not to lead them along.

I would not date someone seriously who lied to me about soemthing like that.
Reply:I think you have to be honest on those dating sites. Or someone is going to get hurt.


I met my husband on yahoo personals over 5 yrs ago. We both were 100% honest. If he had lied (about anything) on the site I would have wondered what else he might have been lying about in his life.
Reply:She shouldn't have to lie. There is someone for everyone out there.
Reply:I prefer the smaller dating sites and the niche sites. I recommend trying

Reply:If you are misleading about one thing, chances are there will be more decieving along the way. You would think you would want someone to like you for you and not for who you claim to be. If you are going to lie than you most certainly can't be mad or suprised when you find out they lied about something too.
Reply:It doesn't matter what we think, it's their business.
Reply:I think it's wrong to lie. The whole point of the internet dating is that you get to know the person before meeting them and so it's not like a traditional first date. It's false advertisement. What if the guy REALLY wanted children (42 isn't exactly an age most people want to start thinking about kids..), but also adored her?? Then it just puts people in an uncomfortable situation that could have easily been prevented.
