Have you ever lied about yourself on the net?

[Bindu1000]

Lets see how honest our members are... XD. Have you ever lied about something about yourself while posting or chatting on the net?:3:

I used to lie about my age while looking for anime sites ... Almost everyone on the forums were in their early teens and I was too embarrassed to admit how old I was :18:

[ShadowsLiyte]

For sites like youtube and things like that i use my brothers birthday, since hes 25 and im 15 ^^

[langging]

yes there was a time [i forget what thread was it, but not in the chat cuz im not active there]..but i will try not to do it again..

[yoyoyoyou]

My age .. same reason as Shadows lol. I would make it 8 years older than I really am (my older sister's age) XD. I think I don't lie about other things, cause I don't mind sharing to people who don't know me irl hehe. But of course I wouldn't give away the all too important details ;).

[avich]

Sometimes its necessary to protect yourself from people who use your personal info to do malicious stuff http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/57.gif

[coldfire01]

related to the topic:
hiding yourself is quite normal though. some folks have the capability of changing voices (software) and chat with them on the net. You were all feeling tingly inside that this cute chick is talking to you but in fact she is just a tubby lard of a guy (webcam is also fake recorded images).

i tried learning that but i never got to use it. i know i still have those tools but it is somewhere in my hard drive. ... somewhere.

[Omikaru]

Avich, I can agree with because there are potential hackers and thieves with no common sense.. So the only thing I would lie about would be my name and location, but never my age.

[ranmachua]

In order not to attract hackers, phishers and the likes, I don't post my important details online

[Omikaru]

In order not to attract hackers, phishers and the likes, I don't post my important details online

Neither do I, but that's a good little safe net to have though.

[alucardiume]

huhu.. In my experience, yes i lied. Opposite to Miss Bindu1000 i write my age a bit too old like 42, have wife and kids and happly married. ^_^

[ChaosZane]

i use my alias name or my age. some things are best kept secret

[Feldrance]

haha.. if its about spam/virus protection u can just have a whole decoy persona like i do.
but hacking.. trust me, nowadays if someone really wants to hack you, ur lil zipcode/internet nicks dont stand a chance =x


but in terms of "have u ever lied on the net" for no reason
then mine is that one thing back in my "experimental" days when i pretended to be a lesbian/hispanic girl named karen. had an address, email and everything >_>..
but hey, i was also into britney spears once but that just goes to say that sometimes u just grow out of some of the crap u get urself into >_>..

http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif

Oh my ... I couldnt take up my breath - I laughed so hard at this one ....but yeah I was into Abba too at one stage when I was very young. Would listen to their music constantly. So yeah ... I so get that :18:

[avich]

Just listened to abba musics. Its not bad http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/69.gif

[ratratrat098]

I lied about my age a few years ago...

Instead of putting my real age I put 18 so that I could access "classified information"
but now, as of 2009, I don't have to lie about my age because I am already 18 years old.

[Ephenyan]

that's my name :O
haha, anyway...

yes. i've lied (i mean, who doesn't?). i lied abt my age in FS
in order to register, you gotta be 16^ ryt?

[Tippeddoor]

Dont judge me :P
But people have assumed i was a girl before and i was to embarrased to correct the, so if you think about it, I didnt lie
Try and beat that logic :)

[coldfire01]

i was wondering any tech savvy folks here who is actually using their real IP address?

i sometimes use somalian mountain something for IP so that if i visit some other sites i wont get recorded or something.

the only problem though is the mac address thingee that i cant get to go through though.

hey wait... am i talking to the right forum or to the right level of people?

[Bindu1000]

Uhhh - the level maybe correct - but the forum incorrect. I was asking in line of deliberately lying - like about your age, sex of attributes either for the fun of it or coz you were embarrassed :1:

Hmm interesting. You must have been doing some naughty things on the internet to try to hide your tracks. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif

[jhai0603]

Almost all of my registered ages say "1980" though my real birthdate is "1994". Of course, I do it to access information in the net.
Many people do that, don't thet?

[adiktdtololi]

I lie All the time^^

Lieng makes your live easier^^

[coldfire01]

Hmm interesting. You must have been doing some naughty things on the internet to try to hide your tracks. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif

right now my real IP is on at house. i only do naughty stuff on the computer shop on rentals.

i wont jeopardize my identity here though. i am honest here yaha!

[solidoxygen]

People in online games tend to lie about unimportant details like, for example, their gender...

L>Rich bf, level 70 or higher.
:emhh17:

Noone should ever ask a lady her age :9:

I don't usual lie on the net, just sometimes if there is some questing that invades the right of privacy.. or If I think of some hilarious lie that'll make people running around aimlessly ^^

But then again this might be a lie :11:

[KipiChii]

haha, i rarely lie online, the only time i remember myself lying was for my age on youtube since i knew you had to be 18+ inorder to watch those "flagged" vids with alot of random swearing

[scasia]

yep...
I had...
but I won't tell which one....XD
becoz it's a private problem..

[smokescreen]

I dont lie i just dont tell the whole truth. XD but sometimes thats necessary to protect yourself while online.

[shah6287]

for security and privacy reason..yes i will

[coldfire01]

i have an account on some online game.

i pretended to be a girl there and i got a european girl as a best friend.
the girl talks about feminine side story that i get to have myself nosebleeding afterwards. even her facebook pictures all opened yaha!

it was fun pretending to be a girl. with a fake facebook and fake friendster with pics of a girl i randomly took out on the internet.

that girl cant tell that im a guy because i reply feminine as well. we talked about boys, disgusting boys that smoke drinks etc and the girls are much more cleaner stuff like that.

easy to believe that girl though but alas the server wiped out and we no longer have the connection. i no longer pull up her facebook as well yaha!

[KeiichiMamoru]

The very fact that I'm a Filipino. xD

I sometimes lie about that, especially on online games 'cause if they knew I'm a filipino they'll speak Tagalog on me and the worst part is they'll speak bad words. *sighs*

[Comchien]

Lols, I lied on net before. Faked my age and grade );

[MioAkiyama]

i lied on this chat like messenger thing
i disguised as a boy D:
and they believed it lol
well everyone lies..

[Skoibi]

ha, i think we all do at some point in our web careers :P

[vaporeon200]

I guess everybody lies at one point of their lives....

I don't usually post anything personal on the net...

The last time i made this mistake was when i placed my Phone number on Imeem..

Later that night... got tons of Spam.... not to mention.. A gay guy called me...
*that made me change my sim card....*

Apparently Online Games aren't excused from Lies....

As a Filipino... We have a term for those who lie about their true gender in Online Games..... " Chick-Silog "

Hahaha!!! A gay guy pretends to be a girl... befriends you.. (usually uses a girl character too) Then when your close enough... That person will meet with you... Then BAM!!! You found out that you've been played... SHE = HE :emhh52:

That has never happen to me.. But my friend has experienced that so i kinda know... Till this day... We still laugh at him.... :emh04:

[solidoxygen]

Chick-Silog huh?

I've always used the term G.I.R.L.
It stands for
Guy
In
Real
Life

Pretty fitting name right?

[Tippeddoor]

I dont get the point in changing your sex in online games as for meeting up with them. . .
Do people just leave common scense at the door when going online ._.
I always thought it was 54 year old men trying to meet up with young girls, But i see now this is a growing problem.

G.I.R.L = LMAO !
I'm simple so :P

If you have wish list of superior masking requirements you have it made!

1. fake webcam video of a girl for yahoo messenger and skype
2. voice changer from a guy to a girl.
3. fake friendster picture archive and also facebook myspace etc.
4. a girl (anyone willing) for just a few bucks to be your proxy replying to this guy if he calls.

and poof... you got yourself dozens of cellphone load or tons of money in online games.

Note: some players (guys) who like to ask you out falls over you with just a giggle. (who wouldnt if you have a pic that is comparable to a celebrity)

[mistressmyst]

For sites where you have to be a certain age. I usually make it so I'm close to my brother's age by using the year he was born.

[alucardiume]

well you can use any information you can get from others. no one can stop you, i used a lady name sometimes for scam.. ^_^ just having fun... lol.. if they know your a girl they treat you well..

[Tigerhawk84]

I don't think I've ever really lied...hidden information yes but never purposefully revealed some that wasn't true.

Maybe that's why I have so little friends lol. People don't like the honest real me D:


Perhaps I should start lying.

[Romdeau]

I've lied about my age on sites like youtube... Same reason as Shadows and Reeses. lol

[Kynz15]

Sometimes its necessary to protect yourself from people who use your personal info to do malicious stuff http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/57.gif


100% i agree..dont want to share my personal info, but i dont lie about my age

[missRobin7]

I lied about my age, being too young and use older age...

but above name and age, the stories, i never lied but i twist it in a different way...

[katl91995]

waaaaah!!!!!!!!.........
i lied about my name and location..........lol
but i never lie about my age.........lol

[Bunislipper]

Mmm I have liedo on things like chatroulette when Im having fun with my frirnds because obviously Im not going to give out personal detail to a 42 year old man or something XDDD

[Hero of time]

I do it most times when a site looks a bit shady. But if it looks shady an is not then ill fix it. Like i dont over exaggerate some things

[mlcdl]

I lie on the net with the limitation of protecting certain information. Well I always do that.

[xiety]

lol dont trust some privacy agreement even in social networking sites

in the internet never ever share your personal info to others
like e-mail, name, age, address, telephone no. etc

once they know your e-mail either one of your friends are stalkers or just some spammers or Hackers or ________

always use Lied info or False Information unless it concerns with real life like jobs or application form in a certain business

^^ In internet everything is full of lies

[nickster]

i used to lie .. i'm telling people that i'm already 18 years old XD
because some people tell me that they don't wanna talk/chat with teenagers like me XD
so i'm used to it XDD
but i'm only 15 years old XD

[tuyenbchu]

never lied on this site..yet! LOL and besides, i don't give much personal information.. :) but in games? yes! i lied a little.. haha

[ZZZDaydream]

all the time i make up stroies to people then like 2 days later im like who are you, i dont know you, or if its a public place i yell out ITS A PERVERT!!! it's quite fun(but i would never do that on the OS)

[Shu Tomasu]

No not to my recollection have I lied on the net. . . Though I do not give out info that I feel is to personal and could be used against me

[RandyPen]

I did lots of female characters in some onlinegames. so that i could recieve items lol

[powerband]

I did lots of female characters in some onlinegames. so that i could recieve items lol

That's one i can say i make sometimes. Sometimes on those sites that ask for personal info, Real name and age etc.

[dab117]

you should never post your real identity online to protect yourself, im just saying. what i say (or many others for that matter) is true and cannot be dismissed easily

[venabre]

not really, but I'm not usually posting that kind of things so it's normal

[Snoozy19]

I mainly only lie about my location in chatrooms...
Its not that I don't like where I live its just that I prefer not to reveal where I am.... Secrecy is my thing..XDDDD

[IndI311]

its kinda like asking if someone has once lied in his/her life..
...so i think yes..
.....i've lied sure once, on the net

[SH1Tmakasit]

I lied that I was...
Female
A Gang Member/Leader
Hacker (but I've got some experience in hacking)
Well... thats it
Could you give some good suggestions to lie about? XD

[sana07]

you should never post your real identity online to protect yourself, im just saying. what i say (or many others for that matter) is true and cannot be dismissed easily

i kinda agree with her.. i lie about my real identity online because of this matter.. :D

[BrokenAngel]

I've lied about my age before on some sites, and sometimes its just fun to mess around with people by making up some kind of insane life :)

[deadshitsuji]

I lie about my age. /gg

[xiety]

yes i do lie just to protect my identity

coz high possible your identity being used to other bad things

[batmer]

i lied a few times so its not a big deal because people have their own secrets :D

[xiety]

white lies are the best lies to used to protect others

well anyway as long as your identity wont be stole by anyone

coz there are a lot celebrities wannabes, most are scams

[MioAkiyama]

of course yes
we lie to protect the real info that we have :D
it really is sometimes needed :D

[Snoozy19]

of course yes
we lie to protect the real info that we have :D
it really is sometimes needed :D
I'll agree with this.
We all have our secrets that we don't want others to know so we lie.

[nakahara24]

i lied many times..^_^..but not here in OS..i lied on youtube, yahoo, lol....that was last 2-4 years ago..when im not yet on my legal age^_^

[CupidsTarget]

no,I never lied online..just was vague

[onepiece]

many times in friendster....

[pengu]

i used to lie about my age

[Kobowo]

I have lied a lot of times in other forums but I really cant remember what they were~ I try to be honest nowadays (yes I used to lie alot when I was a kid >.>)

[AnimeYuio]

i lied about my gender ^_^ and everyone treated me like it and it was fun though.... T_T
now only a few people knows the truth XP

[Cetais]

Yes. On a site, I have 2547 years old. And i'ts not an role-play site.

[Eviiii123]

Yeah xD... I lied by saying I was 16 when I was 12. :x xD Now i'm 15 :P

[lolkaitlin]

Hahahaha, who hasn't!? I've been using the Internet since I was like 6. I've always needed to lie about my age to join sites and all that crap; I was always too young. Sometimes, I'm still cautious because some sites require you to be 18 gain access to certain parts! Wah!

But I'm 16 now so it doesn't matter for most sites I use. Bahaha.

[rakusa]

i only lied on strange persons that suddenly pm me on chat box,
i lied on my age, i make it old, so that he would stop bothering me..
:D

but on my friends here, i do not.. :D

[icer]

yeah! of course we lie on the net.. dont you know that im a 3'5" tall, ugly, fat and stupid.. xD hahahaha!!!

[qwertyuiop10]

yeah in my

biography
it said that i lazy but its just when im not in good mood

but im honest in CB and SB

[icsenen002]

No I don't Lie I am Honest, Good Looking, and Smart :p

of course every one lies and especially in chats where no on can see you :p

I lie, not good looking and specially not smart........ T_T

[kamizaki]

hmmm.. yeah sumtimes.. cuz sum things are confidential.

[lon3lyh3art]

a couple of times....actually no....a lot....but i lie because its part of my jokes....

[Wolfbeat]

sometimes i lied in my age, but when it come's to my friends & family im a honest person.......

[junbillgahi]

yeah...
Im trying to hide my personal infos...
I lied about that :)

[naru2ninja10]

i lied when i feel like it... but when i know their personalities (YM chat) i would share the truth... thats where me and my gf know each other for 2 years and now we are steady...

[mineyu]

yes for security ^_^

[JenOtaku]

`Nah~ HAHAHA! xD

`Just my AGE! xD

`I always makes my self older. :))

[Viletomb2010]

I change my date of birth in some sites. I sometimes lie also in online games like ran, grand chase, cabal and many more to help me to get better weapons and give me some money in the game.

[Facilia]

i've tried to pretend to be a boy, didn't work though XD

ahwell... last time i didn't even have to lie, someone thought i was 12y old boy when he heard me on teamspeak o.0

and i just use other words to say stuff if someone asks where i live or anything that gets more private, but it's still the truth :D kinda :P

[Tobimaru]

Welcome to the net. Yes I lie. I lie a lot. Even about my name. I'm a different person when I'm online o.o duh.

[zdrave]

i never give out real personal information either, to ppl i dont know that is

[Enma Ai]

yes.. i only lie to certain peoples.. but when i feel that person is trustable then i won't lie.. only a bit..

[fufufu]

hahaha... i also lied.,not in age or sumthing but IN GENDER<!!! i dunno how to express it.. but its fun. fufufufu

[Pascon]

yeah...real name..hahaha!!:woohehe:
I don't want my friends know that I'm addicts to anime this much!:shy:
P.S....net world is where you can lay a lie...FREELY!

[YamiYami]

i dont lie I just won tell you

[Kanami]

Mostly age and name. I rarely use my real name and age, I kept my details hidden at times when they're real, I don't need more hack, scam or spam. :/ Let's just face it, almost evryone lied at least once in their life. =P

[Mourdy]

yeah i have, when i was little i use to lie my name and age and address, if there was somebody asking for it..
These days i can just say that i dont want to tell it XD too easy..

[tambaylang2000]

I think... I never lied in net.... but it's up to you if you want to believe it or not :P

[Ceres]

I'm sure I lied from time to time when I was younger and the Internet was still new, but I haven't done so in a very long time. What's the point? I'm certainly old enough to go to any site I want and do anything I want online without lying about my age, and if I don't wish to share any personal details then I don't. It's pretty simple :)

[7DeadlySins]

I have lied before on another forums but now Its better to tell the truth since I know who I am and I'm not scared to share to everyone the real me because I want everyone to know who I am and to know more about them so there is no point in lying

[Sora Kasugano]

Totally Yes

I lied Many Times in the Net, which includes My Personal Information Like : Lying about my Age, Gender, Birth, Country, Birth date, etc

[kyube08]

I need to lie sometimes because I hate to be bother by some questions just to get away with it.

[KiriHime]

I used to lie about my age. I used my brother's birth year since he is almost 6 years older than me. I also lied about my name.

[shadowsoul18]

hmmmm noot really.i mess with people about my gender and age time to time but other than that i generally dont lie. I'll dance around w/e someone asks if i dont wanna tell X)

[awnaman123]

yes sometimes for security reasons ...

[DarkDenizen]

I lied sometimes when there are some questions...I can't say the truth....

[Joey13]

Yup, like my name and some Personal Information :]

[ninasandrap]

i lie, i usually do. for me, it's the essence of being born as a human.

[CRiDiUS]

I told someone i could drive just to impress her.

[Death Master]

I lied about my birthday so that I can register to it. I believe that I'm not the only who does that. LOL But I don't lie when talking in sites or chats in online games and commenting in forums. And I don't reveal too much about my personal information. I just let them guess! XD

[christianmes]

yup I usually lie when registering into a website that needs to be 18 age up :O

[Hotaru]

I've lied about my age when signing up to sites like fb and others. Always about my age, mostly I say I'm older like by 10 to 11 years older and I don't know why I do it I just do. Not when I'm chatting though only for registration.

[newbie97]

i don't write personal information
and when people i don't know asks personal questions i usually answer with really bogus answers haha
i don't know why but it's already a habit

[lelouch1]

Yes on multiple occasions...false age to get into sites..false name cause don't want any1 to know my real one...simple stuff like that

[lordknight]

I guess everybody is guilty on this one. XD

[Pikkewyn]

Yes. When Omegle was just new, I went there. I always lied about my identity

[eriel529]

Yeah, I lied about a lot of stuff. It's just a way to protect personal info.

[castlella]

well i havent, i havent lied here in os yet~ lol..

i think i am the naive type +_+

i think i might have lied of my age once in another site..
the problem is whenever that kinda situation comes for me i just disappear from there >_<

[castlella]

i lie, i usually do. for me, it's the essence of being born as a human.

lol.. you could say that! its an easy alternative when you are in trouble..!

although to prevent any risk its better not to reveal much =/

[diambangan15]

Hello

Yes, about height:((:((:((

[benito18]

sometimes but also I tell the truth not always tell a lie.

[hex37]

Ooo, good question. I rarely lie, but when I do It's usually about when things happen.

Naturally inclusive is telling my age on the internet. I don't have time to scroll down the bars and construct my exact date of birth.(1993? screw looking for that I'm just going to pick somewhere in the same century and be just fine.)

But also, I sometimes say something happened today when it really happened yesterday, or I'll swap the order in which something occurred. Fun times.

[DanceInside]

Yeah, about my age. But I don't think that is so serious. You can lie about far more weird stuff... >.<

[SoulTaku]

hmmm... in the internet I lied about my real name(lol the name I posted in that thread where you post your real name is the real one)

and also I lied about reading the terms and conditions every time I register on forums >:D

[LouNa]

when wanting to access some mature-content νids (I'm reffering to gaming/moνie trailers) --> yes but that was last year since I'm now an adult xD
when posting or chatting (here on OS) ---> no

and that's because since I'm deciding to share some personal info there's no need to lie, there's no point in trying to impress or draw the attention of people I barely know..What I'm trying to say is that, we're all more or less anonymous in the net so if we get to the point where we feel like sharing some info and get to know each other better, lying wouldn't serνe any purpose at all..So no, from what I'm deciding to reνeal all is true and honest ^_^

[gelyn]

one thing that i remembered lying about is my birth date (in my FB account). I did it not because i'm embarrassed about my age or whatsoever. its just that I wanna see if there's anyone out there, among my close friends, who cares to remember that special day. hehehe...

[Night blade]

not really, I normally just simply say my age and who I am
