If I match with someone and then they tell me that the age on their profile isn't accurate, that's an immediate end for me. If you're willing to lie about your age on the dating app I'm not taking any chances trusting anything you tell me.
It's not new. "Small lies on first dates" has been a thing forever.
I used to respond to "how tall are you?" with "5'11 unless you ask my tinder profile, then I'm 6 foot" which usually got a chuckle
I'm 6' where it matters - in all frames of reference which are approximately 0.4C slower than my frame of reference.
im like 5'11" and change and I always respond 6ft. Never thought much of it until my brother had a kinipchin that I was just shy of 6 foot.
That's the best spelling of conniption I've ever seen :)
yeah Im not sure I ever saw it written out before so winged it. I will keep in mind for future.
i say 182cm. gets them everytime.
I don't get what the point of this is unless you don't care how long your relationship lasts
attention and validation. even if it's false.
you are thinking long term... many folks don't care about that. they just want the gratification of social manipulation of other people.
