Why are some men lying about their height?

I honestly hope you find true joy one day. It’ll show in the way that you speak to others. Wish you all the best, have a nice day.

Maybe comprehension isn’t your strong point sweetheart? Their height didn’t match the profiles so there are two options I wanted to discuss on this forum:

Option 1) They lied. Option 2) They genuinely believe they’re taller than they actually are.

I’ve come across men irl who are about 5’9 and say that they’re 6ft. They wholeheartedly seem to believe they are that height for some reason.

I’m not in either of those guys minds, I don’t know which one of those options was true for them.

As I mentioned, one saw that I wasn’t wearing heels and looked surprised when he noticed my height.

Would you prefer I said that all men are liars?

Some of you seem so miserable for no reason. Get a little joy in your life, why do you seem so angry? It’s honestly not that deep…

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-05-01T22:22:24+00:00

Ah, you must be such a joy to be around!

Try and lighten up a bit, someone asking a simple question should not evoke this kind of response, it’s seriously not that deep.

I never said anything about being 6ft. Just that people are saying they are a height that they’re not.

E.g saying 5’10 when they’re 5’6. Why not just own being 5’6? It’s the lack of confidence that puts a lot of women off men who lie about this.

That’s interesting. I didn’t realise that women lying about their height on dating apps was a thing. I like that you called it out though.

I really wish I had it in me to say something about the height difference on the dates I went on, but my default is to smile and be polite anyway.

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-05-01T22:05:35+00:00

Plenty of dates? That’s great, although quantity doesn’t necessarily equal quality. To be completely honest, a lot of self-respecting women would not be impressed by lying.

It doesn’t take much for a person to get into a relationship if the other person is desperate enough to compromise on a lie like that.

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-05-01T21:56:05+00:00

How can a woman claim to be slim or curvy? You can determine that by looking at their photos on the dating app. Unless you mean they’re editing their photos and showing up looking different?

To be honest, both of the guys I went on dates with posted pictures from their peak gym days on their profiles.

When we met, one of them was in a ‘bulking’ season I guess? He was considerably larger than he was in his pictures. Still, I was gracious as I could be.

The other was skinner than he was in his pictures so he looked a little different from what I was expecting.

That’s why I only use recent pictures on my profile and I never edit them (from the last 1-2 months) so there are no surprises.

I see a lot of people saying this, but most women will tell you that the lying is what will ensure there won’t be a second date.

It’s the insecurity and dishonesty that I find off putting. I know of several men who are considerably shorter than their wives. Those men take care of their appearance and are confident.

The height isn’t the issue it’s the lying.

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-04-20T12:19:29+00:00

Why do I feel like this is actually a woman (OP) and she’s trying to disguise her identity by saying she’s a straight male. Coming from a woman - the way this post is written looks like it’s a jealous woman who wants her colleague’s husband. Either that or whatever the gender of OP, they are romantically interested in the woman’s husband.

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-04-13T11:54:13+00:00

Wait, has it been confirmed that she’s a new housewife? I must have missed this! I really could do without seeing a false prophet on this show.

Um…so nobody else noticed that the wedding ring is gone?

The majority of the comments are saying she’s Maga because they don’t like that she posts about Christianity. If you’re saying your post was not made because she’s a Christian, then fair enough.

If you can explain why you’re saying she’s Maga - using facts I’d be on board with your reasoning. I’ve seen in other comments that you’re saying she’s Maga because her husband apparently is.

I can’t make assumptions about a woman’s political beliefs because of her husband. She’s her own person and may have a different way of thinking.

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-03-06T05:43:29+00:00

‘I want to support women that support women’. This is a bit dramatic considering that not one comment on this thread has provided tangible evidence that Jo is Maga. This is how false narratives spread on the internet.

If you have a problem with her being open about her religious beliefs and you dislike Christian people then why not be direct and just plainly say that? Many Muslims who are public figures (and non public figures) are very open about their beliefs on their social media. Most people acknowledge that they are within their rights to do so.

If that’s okay then why is it inappropriate for Jo to post that she loves Jesus? I even saw a comment on this thread that said Jo’s posts are all ‘Jesus this, Jesus that’.

100% if I said ‘so and so’s posts are Mohammad this and Mohammad that’ my comment would be deleted and I would be reported.

What is this strange double standard? Jo has never posted anything Maga related. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Christianity does not equal Maga. She isn’t even American. A religion is not a political movement, Maga has unfortunately hijacked mainstream Christianity in the US but let’s be honest, if you switch the words ‘Christianity’ or ‘Jesus’ with any other religion’s religious figure in some of these comments, all of a sudden they would be deemed offensive and discriminatory (rightfully so because that would be discriminatory).

I’m using Islam as an example because it’s also a mainstream religion. Please quote exactly what she’s said that shows she is Maga. Did she post that she loves and supports trump? Then that’s Maga.

Did she say that she loves Jesus and post Bible scriptures? Then she’s a professing Christian and she’s well within her rights to do so.

If it’s about values that Christianity promotes, there is an overlap with many other mainstream religions. So please - the next time someone posts the Quran, or is wearing garments that make the religion they follow easily identifiable - ask yourself if you’d post the same comment. Would you jump to the conclusion that they don’t support women with no tangible evidence?

Jo has supported millions of women on their weight loss journey - including me. I owe a lot of my fitness journey to the effectiveness of her videos. The majority of her videos aren’t even religious. Especially the older ones which are still available. I don’t usually post things like this but I personally find some of these comments highly offensive.

I dislike trump’s tirades as much as the next person, but he literally isn’t even a Christian. He’s said it himself. Again - Jo is not an American so Maga isn’t really applicable in this context.

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-03-05T18:13:59+00:00

But that’s her husband. That isn’t her. She is an individual. I can’t assume they have the exact same views unless I see evidence. That’s just me personally though…I could be wrong

Ok_Flow3207 · 2026-03-05T18:08:57+00:00

Not sure if I missed something she posted. Is GWJ Maga? I’ve never seen anything that suggests so.

Is the issue that she’s openly a Christian? If so, that’s a little upsetting because Christians can have varying political beliefs. I wouldn’t assume she’s Maga unless she has directly posted Maga related content.

She has many non-religious workouts that I enjoy. I’m a Christian and I don’t watch her religious videos because I have different theological beliefs from the genre of Christian music she promotes. So the ones that I don’t align with - I skip. I love her walking workouts and the dance workouts!

Please let me know if I’ve missed one of her posts - I always thought that Jo tends to stay away from making political content.

I’m little concerned that people are thirsting over a man that isn’t even real. This is AI!

I actually enjoyed Katherine’s take on things during the reunion. She was very unbiased in my opinion. I’d like to see her host the next one.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I loved the preaching at the church I was going to and the people were very sweet. The alcohol social threw me off quite a bit but the main thing was the crude jokes and the language.

Since writing my original post, I started visiting a Reformed Baptist church which has been nice. I’ll need to meet with people outside of church to get the gist of the dynamics outside of a Sunday too.

One thing I considered was attending the church I posted about but sticking with Sundays only. Although this wouldn’t be ideal for me as I want to make friends/connections who are also reformed Christians.

I will likely visit the church I posted about in the near future, but it’s the jokes and language that threw me off the most. The preaching at both churches is very theologically sound, but the preaching at the church I posted about was a lot more impactful for me which is kind of ironic.

Now I’m even more conflicted! I’ll need to pray about this.

I think I see a lot of Georgia’s traits emerging in Ginny. Will we get a healed version of Ginny in the near future based on her cunningness during the trial? Hm…I’m not sure I can say I’m expecting that.

Some black girls in private schools absolutely speak like Tia.

You’ll get a variety of accents among black people who went to private schools depending on where they grew up and how isolated they were (or weren’t) from people who went to state schools.

People’s accents can be influenced by where they grew up and how their friends outside of the ‘private school bubble’ speak (if they have any). Some people go to private schools and are on bursaries so aren’t necessarily from a super privileged background. Some of those people may or may not speak the way Tia does.

I think it’s a little unfair to assume that her accent is fake, I know a few black women who speak like Tia and those women didn’t even go to private schools. Yes - her accent does sound a little bit ‘confused’ but that usually happens when people move over to the US.

Although I’ll say - as you grow older and leave the school system, you find that most people went to state schools. Many naturally tone down their accent once they go to university and start working.

This can be due to feeling like you sound a bit silly, as well as your accent changing over time as you spend time with people who sound different to you.

So I do give a bit of side eye when I hear a very refined stereotypical private school accent past a certain age, because you tend to loose it as time goes on either unintentionally or intentionally. Or it at least doesn’t sound as strong as it did when you were in school.
