Age shaving? How much is too much and what's acceptable?

Blocked by Peter Latz? Sorry, but that made Bozo chuckle.
Peter Latz has been lying about his age and height for decades. His RM ad still currently lists him at 38 years old (he's either 50 or 51). And he still claims to be 5'8". He's around 5'6".
He should be happy that people like you still want to view his ad.

Bump!

One more to the list! 

Thank you!

Hypothetical questions:

Not that he's available, but if this famous Singaporean man, who is now 60, were to advertise himself as 30 (or maybe even 25), would you consider hiring him?  Would you feel scammed or cheated when he reveals his real age to you after opening the door?

Are you always honest and upfront about your age and other stats with dates (hired or otherwise)?  Providers seem to be eternally 29.  Is it 49 for clients to avoid the dreaded over the hill 50?  😂

I’m always 100% honest with age/stats with my providers, and also meets via social apps.

Are you saying that all of those photos are recent, not edited/retouched, and that he's 60 years old?  If so, I've never seen anyone that well preserved at 60.

Edit: I just did reverse image search him and looked at the first page of Instagram photos (I cannot look at more because I no longer have an Instagram account).  On some photos his face looks older than in others, but I'd still peg him in the 40-50 age range, not 60.  To answer your question, yes, I'd feel scammed if I was expecting a man in his 20s and he opened the door because, while he looks very appealing, he does not look like a man in his 20s.  Would I go through with the appointment?  Yes, because he still looks great.  But someone who specifically wants a man under 30 shouldn't be put in an awkward position of having to confront a liar.  Which brings it back to the main point of this tread: Why not just be at least more or less honest about one's age and have people saying how great you look for your age rather than trying to kid everyone that you're 30 when you haven't seen that age for over two decades?

I still don’t care about the stated age.  I buy the picture and the persona and not a number

Yes, I'm totally honest and upfront about my info (age, stats, descriptions, etc).

I completely agree with you.  I am not an advocate for false advertising or misbranding either.  At the same time, I can care less about the reported age.  I suspect some providers choose a much younger age only because certain clients screen potential hires by the RM age filter function.  In my personal experiences (perhaps I'm just purely lucky), everyone I've met looks way better than their pictures and younger than their real ages.  I don't even remember how many time I've told them that "you don't look your age."  I keep telling them they need to hire a professional to somehow fix their profile pics to broaden their audiences.

I find it rather funny that clients find it acceptable to be lied to, for $350-$400/hour.

Age shaving is the first part of a providers deceit.
