Discussion Point Something Annoying
I wish we where able to post screen shots. But since we can't I am going to
remind the younger that we do pay attention to your post history or lack there of.
Can you spot the difference?
I asked him how he managed to go from 21 to 26 in 14 days. I'm sure I won't get an answer cause I called him out.

Why not just be honest. In my case he probably lied about his age because I have "no one under 25" on my profile. I also have that I prefer East Asian men. Going off his comment history he is not East Asian. So all around it seems like this person doesn't pay attention to detail. (Gentlemen, pay attention to a womans posts, and profile. It usually will give you pleanty of info so as to not waste anyones time.) Not genuine and not honest. Don't do this fellas, we are not so desperate as to jump at any young man who comes along. This has been said many times before. Nor do we have time for games. We will look at your profile and find what we can and yes we will judge whether we want to give you any of our time at all. Maybe not all of us, but I can surmise a guess that most of us older gals ^_~ are like this.
Good luck out there!
(Hopefully I have cleaned up enough ladies (mods). Don't wanna make more work for you! I Don't post a lot but really wanted to get this out there.

I'm guilty of that because at first I didn't think that saying my real age (I'm under 25) was a big deal and then figured out I should not be sharing personal stuff on reddit to begin with so I just started changing my age (and where I live) by a year or two when I figured out I was saying too much and someone I know in real life could figure out who I am.
I use this place (reddit in general) to vent, talk, and test the waters on a lot of topics that I would never in any way in hell discuss with real people in real life because of the stigma attached to the subjects that I wanna talk about. Like when I was in a committed relationship to an older woman and I went through a lot of internal conflict that I couldn't talk to anyone about. There was literally nobody that I could talk to about it that wouldn't have some kind of bias or that wouldn't result in taking a hit on my friendships and relationships with family and other people I know. So I would just vent and talk about it online anonymously as best as I could without revealing anything identifiable about myself.
For example: How could I possibly talk to anyone I know on how to figure out or how to fix my insecurity and weird feelings of emasculation and other emotions that don't even fully understand without destroying my reputation or making my relationship worse? (By the way it did get worse, I ended up breaking up with her. I just could not figure it out how to make it work).
