A woman is struggling to trust a man who lied to her about being 6 feet tall before they met in person.

When searching for a man online, the woman said that she hadn’t set filters to specify the height of her dates. She explained in a post on Mumsnet that she was, however, expecting her date to be 6 feet because he wrote it on his profile.

The woman said her ex-husband, family members, and several male friends are that height, so she immediately knew the man was lying when she met him in person. She doesn’t believe that he’s any taller than 5 feet 10 inches “on a good day.”

“I asked him about it and he said, ‘I’m 5ft 11’ seemed silly to worry about an inch,’ ” the woman recalled. “I don’t care how tall he is, but I am worried that this is an indication that he will lie about other things too.”

The woman said that when scrolling dating apps, she’s always mindful not to match with men who claim to be a different age in their bio than on their profile listing, as it seems to be their way of getting around age filters.

Curious how other people would react to lies about height, she asked, “Anyone dated someone who lied about this online, and they turned out to be an honest, okay guy?”

“I don’t think it’s a big deal,” one person wrote.“I think a LOT of men lie about their height when they are under 6 feet. My partner, as far as I’m aware, is not a big liar or a red flag (but I guess you never know!), and he definitely adds a couple of inches onto his height when I know he’s not that tall. I think it’s just insecurity. Silly lie, though.”

Another commented, “Complete non-issue. How many women would round down their weight if they had to declare it? I know I would.”

“I met my partner online,” a third chimed in. “He had to put a height range, and he chose 6ft (he swears to god he didn’t). It turns out he is about 5ft 8. I couldn’t give a monkey’s, but I rib him about it occasionally. I go for what’s inside, not the physical.”

“Don’t be gaslit, OP [original poster]. He lied. Clearly, his charming personality didn’t make you overlook that. I wouldn’t see him again,” someone else said.

“An extra inch can make a lot of difference.. Throw him back, OP. He has probably lied about other areas of his profile,” another person added.
