How do you know he lied? Is it 2021? Believe all women???
Any person who is willing to spend, basically steal (she wasn't going to give anything in return - sex, a chance to be friends, etc); how can we trust her?
Being the strong independent, woman; I can see a woman say he looked older than his picture... or say he is shorter than he said he was in order to "get revenge" and be the boss babe so she can write about it later. "Look at me... I'm a strong independent woman who's not going to take any shiet!! Hear me roar!!!"
To be honest, even if he did lie; two wrongs don't make a right. BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW FOR A FACT, she either manipulated this guy for free food and wasted his money OR she made up this whole entire story which still makes her a bad person. All in all, she's a bad person. The man? We just don't know.
