[quote=Anonymous]I can understand why people do this. An extreme example, but my dad does a lot of online dating, and he found when he turned 75, his results plummeted. It was clear that lots of people just categorically refused to date people over 75 or set their filters to end before 75. And FWIW, he dates very age appropriately (I think his range is set to like 60-79 or something). So, he changed his age to 73 to get back in the game. My take was - I think that's fine as long as you're honest quickly - say something in chats or on the first date, just casually.

So, I think I'd be okay with that. I had a bit of a "blocker" in my head when I was dating about increasing my range to include 40 year olds (I'm a woman, this was in my early 30s). So I think at like 31 when I met my husband, my range was at like 25-39. If I went on a first date with a guy who's profile said 38 but on our first date was like "actually, I'm 40, but that made it impossible to get through people's filters!" I'd be cool with that. Feels more like lying to a machine than lying to me.

If I found out 6 months later, that'd be an immediately dealbreaker. [/quote]
