Why lie????

Sorry I haven't had much to say lately.......but I have a question, why do men feel the need to lie about themselves or their age?
I was asked out for a drink by a man who said he was separated & in his forties. That will be nice, I did ask to see a picture, well I like to know who I am meeting, it was blurred & slightly in the distance but he looked ok, yes I am shallow but you need something pleasant to look at while you are having a drink.
So anyway we arranged to meet for a lunchtime drink, quick getaway for us both. I was sitting in a lovely little pub with a small glass of wine, when an older gentleman approached me & introduced himself as my lunch date! Imagine my horror, this man is in his 60's & actually looks like my uncle, who died 3 years ago & yes I do mean he looks like a corpse......
Now my parents brought me up with good manners so I sat & chatted to him. He then proceeded to tell me that he is not actually separated, I'm thinking ok at his age he could be widowed, no that old chesnut "wife doesn't understand him"!
OMG get me out of here!!!! I then had to explain that while separated men are ok to date, I will not under any circumstances date married men, done that before!
After the one drink & yes it does only take me one drink I said that I really had to go.
Now do I give up on dating or do I carry on & see what else is out there......maybe just for your amusement I should carry on???? Let me know what you think x
