have you ever lied about your age?

[sundog]

[purr]

1. Nope.. people think I'm younger than 24.

Still get carded everywhere.

[qnr]

2. Yes, but only because I actually forgot. It doesn't interest me that much

and I seem to have a hard time remembering.

[Devra]

40. that isn't really lying. to lie you have to intend to deceive

[mwdem]

3. No, but tempted to

I look younger than my age.

[sendero]

4. No..

.... most people guess about 8-10 years low. And I'm not going to complain about that :)

[Left Is Write]

5. Yeah. I was 15, and I told a guy I was 16.

What possessed me to do that, I don't know.

I saw the same guy, same place, a year later - and he commented I must be 17. That's when I told him the truth.

[sundog]

6. for shame!

:spank:

[RockaFowler]

7. Yes to get into a club

When I was 20, I was dating an older guy and I faked that I was 21 so I could drink!!!!

Didn't everyone do that????

[sundog]

10. actually not

the dc clubs were 18+... you had to have a wristband to drink & i was always on acid, so it didn't matter

[evlbstrd]

8. I voted Other.

I never did, but I may be tempted to. Cover the gray, lie about my age and get a damn job.

[Err]

9. I'm 23 and I look like I'm 16.

I have to spend time convincing people of my real age! x(

[Devra]

41. me too I am 19 but people think I'm 15

so trying to pass as 21 is a lost cause. and I have no reason to pretend I'm younger than I am.

[LeftyMom]

11. Yes, when I was a teen I bumped the age up on my profile

to minimize the number of pervs trying to pick up on me in chat rooms. (Yep, they had the internets when I was a teenager. I'm a youngin.)

[AlCzervik]

12. yes to get a fake id but that was about the only time

[Floogeldy]

13. Yes. I always add 10 years to my age.

That way, people say, "Oh my god, you look SO YOUNG."

;)

[progmom]

14. yes. no...wait...what?

[tigereye]

15. um I did used to "edit"

my driver's license to age 21 when you could still do that... back in college. I had forgotten about that. Otherwise, no.

I did a terrible job and the bouncers would just laugh at me.

[Broken_Hero]

16. i use to do it all the time online...

but i quit that a long time ago, in real life i have only lied about my age once....i was in riverside, california at a little bar there, and i was hitting on this 33 year old nurse...i was 23...she told me her age, and i told her i was 28...first and only age lie...:) and no, we didn't hook up...:)

[Kathleen04]

17. I used to do it online all the time too

hey..Riverside..that's where I'm from. :)

[Broken_Hero]

19. oh...riverside was...okay...

i was working at the unversity of california riverside for about a month..i was doing a book moving job for their library there...:) i can't remember the name of the bar i was at, but i went there every damn day for a month to get wasted...:) and i stayed at the comfort inn just five miles or so down the road from the bar...

[Kathleen04]

43. Yeah,

Riverside's alright..but I gotta say though that UCR is in the armpit of Riverside...it's ugly down there around University Ave and whatnot..

[FuzzySlippers]

18. I'm sorry, sundog, but I lied to you about both my age AND gender.

Your personal ad at the NAMBLA website was just so darn fetching that I desperately wanted you to believe I was a 13-year-old boy.:P

[sundog]

20. ew

bitch :nuke:

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Only in chat rooms

When some loser comes in and does the "a/s/l" bit. I tell 'em I'm 206.

[bliss_eternal]

22. I stopped keeping track of my age

to be honest. Frankly, outside of a doctor's appnt. I am always so surprised when someone inquires about my age. I consider it the pinnacle of rude behavior.

I only think age is relevant if one is referring to wine or cheese, not people.

[ashling]

23. What if you are just fundamentaly (generic use of that word)

confused. After a while, I just lose count.
:crazy: :crazy:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Nope........

Oh wait, I did once when I was out for drinks and dinner with a date....

God, that must have been 45 years ago! It was before I was married!

I'd forgotten that one.....otherwise, no.......

:blush:

[Syncronaut Seven]

25. Not since I became 21.

I'm 21 twice now, plus.

[tjwmason]

26. Sort of.

I always give my age as '19 and a few months' which is technically true (the number of months being between 20 and 100) but not exactly unmisleading (forgive the neologism combined with double-negative).

I also bought alcohol before I was 18 - arguably I posed as being older than I was. I was never asked for proof and thus never had to lie.

[SeattleGirl]

27. 50 and Fabulous here!

Why would I wanna lie? :evilgrin:

[emmajane67]

28. Saved my parents loads recently travelling in Europe,

saying I was under 16 for childrens entry fees.#
I am 24.

[khashka]

29. Yes.

I've said I'm older, I've said I'm younger. I don't really look my age.

I actually have to sit and think and do the math to figure out how old I am. And, frankly, I don't fuckin' care.

Tori Amos once said "The maps of our lives are written on our bodies". What a wonderful way to look at age.

My hair and my beard are going white - and I don't see that as a bad thing. I fucking earned it! Every white hair, every wrinkle (I don't have any yet but I will) is a medal of honour.

The map of my life is written on my body - and that's a wonderful thing.

Khash.

[In_The_Wind]

30. Never ...

since I turned 21

[NMMNG]

31. Not that I recall

:shrug:

[terrya]

32. Nope.

I'm 49. I freely admit it. :-)

[tim2204]

33. To old to lie

besides no one would believe me anyway LMAO.
I usually say that i am 25/26 and that tends to throw em off just a bit
LOL i think it is because they have a hard time figuring out the math to it.


:silly:

[rbnyc]

34. When I was 18, 19, and 20...

to get into bars.

Aand when I was 29, I said I was 30, because I felt I needed an extra year to get used to it.

I know, I'm a frerak.

[kick-ass-bob]

35. No.

I'm only 18.
















:crazy:
(with a 10 year old, and married for 12 years)
:P

[Misunderestimator]

36. Only when I was a teenager.

Had a girlfriend once who told me she was my age at the time (which was 25)... found out months later that she was 35. Never trusted her much after that.

[noonwitch]

37. All the time between 18-21

It was easier to obtain alcohol while underage back in the 80s.

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. Yes, I really AM a 67 year old Grandmother of 8, who likes to take

bus trips with my girlfriends. :hi:

[bigwillq]

39. Yes

Sometimes I "play" younger, sometimes older. Depends on my mood.

[bridgit]

42. no desire to...

[redqueen]

44. No, no desire to. n/t

[miss_american_pie]

45. Was sorely tempted once

but I can't help it that when I was 14 and reckless the object of my admiration was 19, now can I?

[Patiod]

46. I've avoided telling it in a job interview

The owner interviewed me after I went through a bunch of previous interviews. He was sneaky -

"when did you graduate?"
"the eighties".
"oh, I knew someone who was there in 1988, were you there then?"
"it's a huge school - the chance that I know anyone is pretty small"

He was clearly frustrated. I know he wanted someone young for the job, and he wanted to be sure I wasn't over 40. He also knew he couldn't ask me outright, and I didn't feel like helping him out any.

Didn't get the job, but didn't want to move to Westport Connecticut, either.
