People lie. Whether in real life or online. And which ever gay website I go that required a profile, people will either lie about their age. Or they might just show their body picture and hide their face pics. Or they might not reveal their ethnicity if not easily discernable (e.g. hidden pics, no face pics). I have heard many excuses for this practice. Many would say that if they put their real age, they hardly get any interest or response. But they add that if they put a younger age, they get more response and interest from people. Same reasoning many give for keeping their ethnicity mysterious. They say that way people will not dismiss them initially base on their ethnicity. They want people to get to know them as a person and not as a stereotype of a certain ethnic background. And for those who hide their face pic, it is either they are closeted or that their best feature are not their face but their body or dick.
My take on this is simple. It is stupid! If that person you are interested in will dismiss you base on your numerical age rather than on what you look like, then do you really want to attract those kind of ageist? If that person will discriminate you base on your ethnic background, do you still think a racist is the right guy for you? If that person is so far only interested in your body or dick, do you still think they will be interested with you if your face is not their type to begin with? So why bother hiding things initially cause if these hidden facts matters, it will matter now or later. It is just a futile practice.
