Deceptive, more like complete scam. This reminds me of a very similar online dating scam I saw a bunch of times, the paradigm was always the same. In the 'ad' which provides a photo & some basic facts like age, height... the woman would say "42 year old woman seeking man between 40-45". Then you'd pop open the full profile & somewhere in the narrative portion she'd say something like "oh by the way, I'm actually 51 but I said 42
for search purposes only, I'm so honest that I wanted to clarify that".
I always laughed reading that kind of bullshit because these women were anything but honest, they lied about their age & admittedly did so in hopes of duping someone into believing it so they'd open the profile and either miss the disclaimer or be so wowed by the wonderful nature of the woman that they'd overlook the misrepresentation. I often wondered how many did the same thing but never clarified it, I know some that would tell you when they actually met you but I'm sure there were others that would keep that secret...
By the way I'm assuming men pull their own scams as well, I just don't have any examples given i wasn't reading their bullshit and/or going out on dates with them
