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

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.
