I actually get what you’re saying - it’s not lying, it’s expanding the truth - ie, “I love going to galleries” vs the truth, “I went to a gallery on a school field trip”, “Of course I love animals” vs the truth “animals on a plate”. It’s different to saying “I drive a Ferrari” when infact you have an Audi, or “I have a boat” when infact you have an inflatable with 2hp engine.

Sorry if I found out someone likes things in theory when I asked what was her hobbies and interests I'd question her integrity.

Someone I’m having a date with on the weekend, and is stunning, has listed the following -



I can certainly tick some of those but by and large would be “mildly interested” to couldn’t give a fk. Of course you have to exaggerate your like of some things. Via talking though I now know she likes things more akin to what I like.

I don’t know

Get off our thread! This is for losers like me

You’re no loser! I’ve followed your story, the model, the clothes, the yacht. Yes it ended in tears and Christ I’m right up there with that but you’ve got the T shirt Mr Petrus. Wear it with pride.

I wish I’d stayed with the one T Shirt sometimes - but I can’t complain, I’m a lucky guy

Mainly its the drinking

Ah ok.

She's certainly covered virtually all of the bases with that list.

Apart from getting pissed in a beer garden on a Sunday afternoon with mates - which is my #1

Yeah, and the other one I spotted missing was spending extraordinary sums of money on shonky old classic cars. Add those two and she'd be 'The One'.

i get what hes saying. lying through your fking teeth seems to be par for the course in online dating then once youve met yiu become more honest. both genders do it. i just disagree with it as its all fake bullst. you will have to fess up and show your true colours to develop it into a relationship - unless shes too thick to realise.

its all totally pointless except as a game. which it is. im too old for games or tolerating bullst agendas. people can take me for who i am and accept i expect the same honesty in return, or they can fk right off.

Well, yeah, but think of meeting someone in real life. You'd make an effort to chat, to amuse, to entertain, to be interesting, to not be a tt. Overall, to listen. It's not really that different to showing yourself in your best light online, is it?

[Psycho Warren]

you can do all that within your personality and remain honest surely? unless you lack enough personality to do that.

so many people are dishonest about it though. although a lot of women seem to.expect the total bullst to start with. especially with OLD. i suspect a lot of it is the gender hierarchy with OLD where women get loads of attention so have to pick and choose as they get loads of random messages and dick picks. lol.

[CaptainSlow]

By all accounts you need at least three of the six sixes otherwise you have no chance.

Yes, many can. I know I can, but I have a number of advantages, including magnificent hair and a tax-free salary.

That was kinda how it ended with my ex.

As we got to know each other more there were things she was interest in that i just don't care about spending my time doing.

Arts and crafts, a beach cleanup day, mentoring some "loveable rouge" at a school. And the me cooking her vegetarian things was fine but i never got a chance to have steak or bacon in a home cooked meal... The little things that would become big if you lived together.

Holy Moly,

Her listings make her sound like hard work, and demanding

"chilling out" that would have been nice.

We did a 2 hour Zoom last night and she’s rather lovely - but comes across as very organised and extremely bright, so the list makes more sense.

What is SUP?

[throt]

In my job its mainly female based and I have to say well over half of them are cray.

Poster did make a valid point above, words to the effect, that's why they are on a dating app. Men too
