@klawless… depends on how out of date the photo. If the picture is Jennifer Love Hewitt and the person is more Rosie O’Donnell then I would have a problem. Not that there is anything wrong with looking like Rosie, but if I am making a date with Jennifer, then there is a reason I picked someone with that photo. But, if it is a question of a couple of years old and +/- a few pounds or hair color/length then no biggie.
How do you pick an age number? I guess, you do want someone with a certain life experience or such..

@BertraNissan… Men in there 40′s tend to be those who desire 20s and maybe 30. BUT, younger guys will set the limit higher. The older guys are trying to relive (or live for first time) youthful sex lives. Younger guys want a woman (girl) who knows what they want and are less likely to be too clingy and such. Not saying these are fair ideas, just what they are

Oh! I usually try to avoid giving them my last name and address as long as I can too. Incidentally, this is the only issue that I ever mislead anyone on, because I hate nosey people and I value my privacy. It should be my decision who I’m going to let into my personal life. So, changing my month or year of date by a couple months seems to do the trick. Actually, I have a lot of lady friends and one of them called me when she was away for a weekend with this guy and she was going through his texts and phone calls on his phone when he wasn’t around. This is very wrong. I hate that. You know? My daughter is so certain about my respect for her privacy that she’ll leave her diary right on the kitchen table and she knows that I won’t touch it. Now, if she did that with my ex wife? Yeah.. OK..

On the issue of lying about one’s age? I never tell my exact age anymore. I usually say that I’m one year (maximum of 2 years) younger, because I had a librarian take my name and my age and run a background check on me and I felt like my privacy was violated. Especiallyl, if she’s trying to figure out my net worth, etc. Actually, sometimes I just tell people that I’m 85, or maybe 100 years old. Then, there are those that I’ve told right up front that I’m about.. what ever age that I was at the time and I’ll explain why. It’s funny. So many women forget that in many cases, it’s the man that has to deal with the stalker, etc. Can you believe that? I’ve never run a background check on someone. That’s sick.

I guess that depends on the magnitude of the lie. As I’ve said I’m pretty forgiving. But there are some things I can’t forgive.

Outcome justifies means here I’d say.

Picture yourself having a grand old time with someone new. Sparks flying as you laugh at the world together and all that good stuff. If the fun you had you know for sure is real, would you resent the lie that allowed it? Maybe you’d be glad it was there to circumvent your prejudices. Only when the date falls flat would you really resent the lie no?
