Age Lies on Dating Apps: How to Tell If He’s Faking It

Dating apps can feel like a whole new world.

For women, especially, figuring out who’s being honest and who’s stretching the truth can be tricky.

One of the most common lies? Age.

Whether they want to seem younger or older, some guys just don’t tell the truth. It might seem harmless, but when trust starts with a lie, it rarely ends well.

Here’s a story that sheds some light on how to spot guys who lie about their age on dating apps, shared from a woman’s perspective.

“Wait, How Old Are You?”

Sandra once met a guy online who said he was 35. His photos looked about right. He was fun, outgoing, and we connected immediately.

After chatting for a couple of weeks, they decided to meet in person.

Over dinner, he casually mentioned that his “old high school reunion” was coming up, which made her pause.

Wait, wasn’t that for people around 40 or older? The conversation quickly moved on, but something didn’t sit right with her.

A few days later, Sandra did a little digging.

Sure enough, he was 42, not 35.
