When i was still in high school i hung out with bigger guys (some of them where like 6yrs older) and that made many people to confuse my age. I still hang out with older guys and girls and most of them don't know my real age, i guess they assumed.

But that doesn't mean i've never lied about my age. I've reduced and increased my age depending on the situation.

I don't need to reduce my age these days, i appear younger than my real age,
and i don't have to increase it, i just let people see my two immediate younger brothers!

Re: Have You Ever Lied About Your Age? by A40(m): 11:19pm On May 09, 2009
Na today? grin grin grin i lie about my age in my sleep lol its unfortunate that a lot of girls attach maturity to people's ages so a guy has no choice but to lie about his age.Girls my age are all about looking for men 4 to 5 years older and Ce n'est pas R.Kelly so i can't be running around chasing girls 4-5 years younger i would rather let another brother mold her cheesy so i am left with no choice but to lie about ma age

Used to lie about my age but interestingly on Tuesday I wanted to tell the truth, it was of no use. when I told 2 classmates (who I am 2 yrs older than) my age I had to lie again because they believe they are older than me. I just told them I was joking because I wanted to avoid much talk embarassed .

Dudes,
May God keep forgiving "US",Cos it kinda hard,
It might not be ones interest to lie, but situations warrants us undecided
for instance ,the job seekers. wink
A friend of mine reduce His age almost yearly, in a bid to catch up with job applications/requirements.

have u seen reasons why God needs to forgive Us Always.
NB: Just dont wait till bad luck catch up with U.

for me,Age is just a number, after all,
Just dont fool your age.
Cheers grin
Re: Have You Ever Lied About Your Age? by Udode(f): 1:45pm On May 11, 2009
I used too, because I always looked older than my age,
the funny thing, all my friends are (still today) older than me,
and my bf lied about his age at the beginning and as i know now he is 11 years older,

in the end, it doesn't make, age is just a number !

But truth be told I enjoyed you and the experience was great.

Re: Have You Ever Lied About Your Age? by Ekelebe: 11:16am On May 16, 2009
No body neva lie about him age for dis world. For instance about myself,

Yeah some years ago . . . When i was 12-14! It was fun pretending to be a couple more years older! I felt i wasnt looked upon as "SMALL PIKIN" & excluded in "Girly talk about Boys" which is also called "E BIGGY - BIG GIRLS STYLE"when i pretended i was older it gives me impression to gain respect even from my age mates. Also, while i am 18, i have to increase my age to 20+ to get a job in a big company since the age limit for employment is 20 yrs and above. you see---- i am enjoying my pay becos of my "E-BIGGY" (THIS IS AGE INCREASE)

But when it comes to gaining things positively i.e. sharing of things according to age grades, maybe the the younger gets more and the older gets less, i have no other option than to decrease my age. (THIS IS AGE DECREASE)

SO YOU SEE WHY I SAY EVERYBODY DEY LIE
