Do men lie about their height like women lie about their weight?
According to ABC News, men and women lie equally about their weight. But women are more likely to lie about their age and men are more likely to lie about their height. ABC News: Any woman who has been online dating for awhile can tell you the story of meeting a man whose profile, which said he was 6-feet tall, ended up being several inches short of the truth. And most men can tell you about the woman whose reality was about 10 years older than her online photos. “One [female] client is 47, she looks 40, and her profile says 35,” says Dr. Jonathan Alpert, a psychotherapist and Metro newspaper advice columnist who says one-third of his clients use online dating sites. “Men tend to lie about their height or how much money they make. In the old days, men might have said they were an investment banker when they weren’t. I don’t know if that helps much anymore.” Both men and women will shave a few pounds off their weight, however.
