So today, i matched with a guy. I had not read his bio before matching, i have to admit.
But I noticed that it said he worked at a specific organization. I asked about it and his atitude was very much humblebragging – he actually had a very important role, very succesfull carreer.
Then he asked where i worked. And as I could tell him, that I actually do work at that organization … he unmatched me right away. Well wellš
Edit. As I was not clear. The unmatching was not my evidence he lied. We are 9 employees haha. I also dont think he knew how small we actually are, as he made it sound like a quite important role

yeah that man was 100% capping š the second you said you worked there too he hit panic mode. honestly kinda funny, but also sad. imagine lying that early.
All people lie. This is not unique to men. Iāve met women who lied about their age, breast size, weight, job, height..
People are insecure and for some reason feel the need to make up stories to make themselves look better. The crazy part is they start to believe their own lies and then get offended when called out.
I had a friend who read that book the game years ago and he built this entire false persona to help puck up woman. It definitely helped him build confidence, but he ended up buying into his own bullshit and became insufferable.
People can lie about their age, marriage/taken status, looking for serious rather than just sex, their political views/core values, interests, anything really
Iām really curious as to what the organization could be. Seeing that it is well known enough that he would claim to work there to gain clout, but also small enough that you know everyone who works there. I was initially thinking FBI or something but you couldnāt possibly know everyone at a government agency like that?
I had a guy lie to me about his political stance for 2 years lol
People suck. I dated a woman who I thought we had a future, but almost everything she said was a lie just to keep me around while she needed me. When I look back literally from like the 3rd word in her profile was a lie. As someone else mentioned, it starts with lying to yourself. Once that becomes a habit, youāve lost all accountability and itās so easy to lie to others. I canāt even imagine. What ever happened to āthe truth will set you freeā? Iām at the point where I feel like I need to ask questions I already know the answer to so I can see if they are liars on the front end. Also why Iāve been taking it slow with anyone who I date. Fāing sad.
That guy was probably just lying to try to hit b/c that wouldnāt be a sustainable lie long term. But still pretty scummy.
I was dating someone who was honest and committed but she had some unresolved trauma which translated to me being a punching bag. -wish her the best.
First time? š
LOL, men lie constantly on dating apps. Had this experience almost EXACTLY. And tons of others similar to it.
Women lie every day. They put on makeup to look more attractive and then act like me at their same attractiveness when they don’t have makeup are below them.
Everyone just needs to stop lying.
Is it a lie coz some women think a 6ft person is actually taller than a 6ft person.
You have no proof that it’s a lie, you only suspect it is. Many people will not date others within the same company.
Benefit of the doubt, I knew a guy from work but I guess he had never really paid attention (and we continuously masked because barely post-covid healthcare setting so maybe he didnāt recognize me?) so when we matched on a dating app I thought that was his low-risk way to indicate interest.
I thought he was kidding when he asked me a bunch of questions about my work. Nope, when he realized we sort of work together (different work streams entirely but same building) he unmatched me because it was too messy.
glad you caught him out early.
So he doesn’t want to date within his workplace? Some people would say that’s a good idea because when it inevitably goes wrong, it’ll cause all kinds of grief and awkwardness in the workplace.
But let’s not pretend it’s just guys who lie on dating apps/sites. š
