Why do people lie about their age on the internet?

[The Dork Lord]

It's one thing to withhold information.

But to intentionally mislead people....

seems unethical.

What makes you think that their information is any of your business?

[DarthSikle]

Age-ism is why.
Also your sexual preferences
are nobody's business but your own
and should never be used against you
maliciously or
even in jest on the internet.
Race, religion,skin color, gender, marital status,
if you know what come tastes like,medications,
and personality disorders also have no place
being disclosed in forums like this.

I don't see the point in lying about my age.

[Lord Foil1212]

there are restrictions on myspace if you're shown as under 18

 

[The Dork Lord]

then why not just say 18?

Why 32?

Being old is cool. I've already done all that stuff I thought I was supposed to do - get married, have children, buy a house, have a career, cook a million meals for other people, do a gargantuan amount of other people's laundry, etc. Now is my time and I have the money to do what I want to do. It is somebody else's turn to mow the yard and take care of the herd.

Plus, I get awesome discounts on hotels and travel packages. Woo Hoo!

Besides, being old isn't what it used to be. Several people have gone with me to aqua aerobics because they think if I'm old and can do it, so can they. Never fails, halfway thru they want out of the pool cause they are flat worn out.

Now, if I could just figure out how to stay at this point.

 

[Elrod]

what makes you think dishonesty is any protection?

Protection? From what?

Hi Elrod!

 

[Dershocka]

I don't lie on the internet, or anywhere else for that matter. If I say I'm handsome, buff, makes lots of money, and have a 12 inch penis then bygod you better believe its true!
