I'll venture out onto the limb a bit here...
It could very well be that some of those who have less than 100% truthful profiles do so to sustain an alternate identity -- even if it is in a cyber community.
I find nothing wrong with that, and respect their rights to do so.

I think it has to do with people who aren't happy with their "real world" lives. They are lacking something, or they are afraid to try something. In here they can be whoever and do whatever with relatively littler consequence. The only problem I see is for the people who don't see past their lies and believe they are talking to someone different, someone they maybe wouldn't open up to.

The two reasons I've bullshitted online in the past:
1 - to add a little something to my stories. I'm a big fan of female first person stories, and quite frankly, the sluttier the better. If I like the story, I go backstage and check out the profile, or bio, or whatever. Whenever I find out it's just some guy, it takes something away. But when it's a drug-fucked, bisexual stripper who could be telling a true story, it adds something. Stupid, I know, but... So I did the same for a while on another site. You know, for the fans?
2 - To protect myself. I don't know who the fuck's out there, how crazy they are, or how good their IT skills are. If you think I'm a 37 year old married guy from Sydney, then maybe the 42 year old single woman from Brisbane I actually am will be that little bit safer. And I especially don't want anyone I know to recognise me from my profile. "Hey, Will? You're 37, right? Didn't you used to volunteer for Lifeline? Oh my God, you love Bring It On! I can't believe it, you write dirty stories! Mate, tell me you didn't stick your tongue up a hooker's ass, did you?" Misdirection is better than omission.
I still misdirect here with a few key facts to mask my identity, but otherwise, I'm honest. The friends I have here who I've interacted with may not know my driver's licence stats, but they know the real me. I'm not going to fake that. They're people too, and they deserve my respect.
I suppose others may do it as part of fantasy roll play. And good for them, I guess. But I agree, when it becomes real, and there's real emotions involved, it's time to come clean.
But to play devil's advocate for just a moment, buyer beware. If you're going to emotionally invest in relationships online, particularly on an erotica site, then come on. You're more than likely going to get dicked around. Pun intended. Proceed with caution.
And twice.

I try to be as honest as possible but some details I just don't give out. I suppose some of the reasons people do it are innocent and some maybe not. I have been asked direct questions and I say sorry I can't tell you that. Its more omitting information than changing anything. I have made some friends here that I may confide a little more in but that is because we have spent time building a little trust. But if you have ever been cyber stalked or stalked in real life, you would want a little extra protection. Some people may live higher profile lives than others and cannot afford to be recognized. There can be a variety of good reasons. I would not want to come across my mother or something like that. MOM? You want to do what? With? Oh dear...It is an erotica site after all.
If its for role playing and just purely to escape or to cover your tracks because you can't afford to get busted then...who am I to judge? But if you are hurting people and manipulating them then that is just unkind and mean.

My sentiments exactly. If you want to withhold things that's fine, I respect that, that's what I'd do. I'll give out what I'm comfortable with but you can only build trust on foundations that are honest. Glad you got the role spelling correct, sound like my old English teacher. Lol
