Height
One of the biggest lie we tell on dating profiles is about height. Well, maybe not the biggest but definitely the most often fudged fact. In fact, anyone claiming to be 6 foot anything on their dating profile is probably lying. Some people just acquaint tallness with strength and power. It isn’t uncommon for the shorter of us in the crowd to add an inch or two on our profiles. If nothing else to make us feel better. The worst that can happen is he says, “OH! You aren’t quite as tall as I imagined” when you meet. Go Here To See The Average Male Heights For 2015
Weight
Weight is another thing people lie about A LOT on their dating profiles. This is another one that makes you just scratch your head because as soon as you meet him, the gig is up but people still do it. Maybe thinking they can lose the weight before the meet happens. Then there’s the hope if they can just seem attractive enough online to get a real date, at least it’s a foot in the door.
Age
Living Arrangements
Many guys want to lie about where and how they live on their dating profile. Some will say they live alone but really share a house with roommates or even parents. Other times it is the part of town or shape the residence is in that will cause a person to lie. If they live in the ghetto or a trailer park or somewhere less savory they just may not want other people to know about it. He could be afraid that would make him seem less desirable in another man’s eyes.
