What lies or embellishments did you tell when dating?

I am dating an animal lover, while I don't hate them I don't particularly care for them.
I told him I loved animals.

That is a recipe for disaster.

I told him my hair was all mine lol

I told my wife, I'll just call her C, that I invented supply side economic theory, when I was merely responsible for convincing certain people to use it.

[Anonymous]

I acted much more laid back than I really am.

[Anonymous]

I pretend to be more tidy than I am, and ditto to 12:22

It was not a true lie but I'd keep waxing and shaving just because of him.

When he learned that he told me I could quit doing it.

I married him

I didn't lie. I tried to set the bar low. Presented a less then perfect image. Never cooked for DH. Actually told him how much I hated cooking. Always made jokes about having kids and being an absent mom. I basically was "take it or leave it." Thank god, he took it! I still hate to cook though. We've been married almost 10 years and have two kids...and I am a SAHM right now.

Is your wife really young or not too bright?

I told her I invented electricity.

I was very religious at the time and my then DH pretended to be much more observant than he actually was. Needless to say this caused a lot of trouble in our relationship (and a few break ups) but we eventually worked it out and are happily married.

I totally underplayed my "number." Never was asked outright, so never lied, but DH would have a conniption if he knew my real number.

This was discussed on another thread, but ridiculous that a man or woman would ever care. If you love someone enough to marry them, it is because of how you are now and what the future holds. And why should the DH be the one who gets bent out of shape? Like he never did anything before he met you?
