Honestly, yes, to a point. If I hired someone and found out they lied about their age, I couldn't trust them again. If I were dating someone, I'd leave. I'd never trust the person again because the age is such a silly thing to lie about and I'd assume that their speech is riddled with other untruths.

Why is their age relevant? You might as well ask about their favourite sexual position. Would you expect them to answer that question honestly?

If not, why is does one dishonest answer warrant suspicion but the other does not? Probably because the age question feels "innocuous", but clearly it's not as it not only appears to measurably affects physiology, it definitely affects career prospects in some fields.

This is especially well put, thank you.

I think you're lying!8-)) If she was attractive enough you'd find an excuse, grin and bear it!

Unfortunately, probably not. Most women, unfortunately, aren't attracted to other women so I'd probably not get the chance. Sometimes I'm happy to be bi so I'm not as limited as folks limited to a single sex, though I could do without the discrimination.
