The above seems consistent with stats I’ve seen about men exaggerating their height (and women understating their age) on dating apps.
When I was on apps I would see women who’s age was listed as 49 in their profile but in their bio they would say ‘I’m 52’ or whatever. They wanted to be included in more searches especially of guys their own age.
