See This On a Profile? Hit BLOCK – It’s a Red Flag
There are a plenty of reasons you might hit the BLOCK button on a profile – someone keeps messaging you when you’re not interested, you’ve hooked up and it didn’t go great, or worst of all– it’s your ex. However, there’s another reason you should hit Block on a member’s profile that you might not have guessed. Via HuffPo:
One of the biggest red flags that Young said should immediately earn a potential suitor a block is if they’re lying about their age.
“Men lie about their age because they want to meet younger women — and they don’t want to get disqualified,” she told us.
That doesn’t bode well for a burgeoning relationship.
“It’s not just a lie, it’s a boundary violation,” Young said. “Because now, you know, let’s say there’s a woman who’s … 30 years old and she’s set her age parameters from 29 to 39. The 49-year-old guy who comes in lying is not only lying to her, but has already decided that it’s OK to violate that boundary, which she has clearly articulated. So if the first two things that have happened in this budding relationship are lying and a boundary violation, that’s not great.”
Wow – we’d never thought about it this way– but he’s right! Lying about your age to circumvent the parameters of other singles… that’s not okay! And this goes for men and women.
