Dear LFTP: the dating profile age lie
- What is the penalty for putting false information on a dating profile?
A host reads a listener letter: a 58-year-old man discovered 'Molly,' 60 on her profile, is really 67, and asks whether lying on a dating profile is grounds for dismissal. The hosts advise: ask her why she lied, judge whether she's a dishonest person versus embarrassed by her age, and note he filtered himself out. The secular answer is read (caveat emptor; many fudge profile details; don't be rigid and lose a good person), which one host rejects — half-truths drive him nuts; honesty saves time.
