Online lovers both lied about their age

[WickedSmurf]

I thought I'd share this with you... HIGHLY embarrasing.. But pretty sweet at the same time...

A 71-year-old man who cut 15 years off his age to try to woo girlfriends online in China is to marry a woman who's 20 years older than she claimed to be.

The 68-year-old woman claimed to be 48 when she chatted over the internet with the grandfather for three months before agreeing to meet him, according to the Information Times in southern China.

The pair were so embarrassed at having lied about their ages that they sent a son and daughter in their place to the rendezvous in Guangzhou.

But, after the children came clean, the couple met and now plan to marry during the Lunar New Year holiday in late January.

OMG! At least they got around that little lie. I can see why they did it. . . but sheesh. . .

Glad their kids were honest, tho.

hehe, I have a friend who lied about his weight and sent someone else instead - to meet a far older man (yes, both gay) than expected........ the replacement is now engaged to the old mas younger sister

A colleague of mine has a 10 year old son. He went on-line claiming he was 18 but it all went to hell when this 20 girl wanted to see him IRL.

Oh well...that's what you get for playing with fire by lying about age....

As I skimmed through it I had the impression the woman lied by adding years to her age
