There's a lot more to a person than just their height. If you really like him and you're attracted to him, stay with him. If you aren't that attracted to him and you don't think there's real potential for a relationship between you too, then by all means, break up with him. Don't break up with someone because of their height though, that's a dick move, at least let the reason be something more meaningful.

I think a few inches is a super shallow reason to break up with someone. I'd get it if he lied about a DRAMATIC height difference as that's a bigger lie and a clear indication of some serious self esteem issues, but he's still what I consider tallish in my books so I wouldn't.
If you feel uncomfortable with his height, you could either try to cope with it (since it might become less big of a deal later), or break up. I wouldn't immediately break up when he's just a bit taller than you (when you're in heels), but it's your choice.
It would be a pretty shallow reason to break up with someone. Still, you are in charge of your own life and you're allowed to like what you like. If the height is really an issue for you then sure, break up with him. If you can't be happy with his height then it's probably not going to work anyway.
Dump shorty!
You shouldn't have a problem with his height as much as his honesty.
What else has he lied about?
The guy probably has a wife in Toledo, Yuma and St. Paul, Minnesota!

Have you ever met him in person?
Lying before you even met each other sets a bad precedent, but I don't think this is a lie that you should necessarily hold against him.
Just wear shorter heels if you don't like being taller than him.Yes, you should break up with him. If you care about something as superficial as a couple inches, he deserves better
Considering he thinks he's dating a woman and you're a man yeah you should break up.
Yeah, if he lies about his height, he'll probably lie about his dick size... better end it now
I would break up because of the lie. I met a guy (in person) who casually mentioned he was 6' when he was clearly only 5'8. I went along with it to not bruise his ego and because I still wanted to get to know him. Then, I found out he was lying about his age, citizenship, and job. Insecure men
If you know in your heart that his height is a deal breaker for you, it's probably best to break things off sooner rather than later. It's not "shallow" or "immature" of you to feel this way-- sexual attraction is important in a relationship, and we all have preferences that might seem silly from the outside looking in-- but it does mean you guys most likely aren't compatible. Good luck, whatever you decide to do!
you really have that high of standards that his height bothers you? but you get along and everything with him? so his height shouldn't matter... that is pretty damn low
I don't think you're ready for dating. You don't seem mature enough. so sad
just because he is alittle short doesn't mean he doesn't go short on quality and no breaking up with him because he lied about his height is a silly thought
Split with a Slick One, hun, if Only... There is More in Store with his Possible Beginnings of his Bed of Lies.
Good Luck. xxhight is a shallow reason to break up with someone, lying less so
Do you like him otherwise? Did you guys already form that connection? I'm assuming you have since you're dating.
Break up?
You two have only gone on ONE date lol, you're hardly a couple. Don't see him again if you don't like his height.no that's kinda dumb the height he gave you isn't even much difference from the one he told you
If he lied about this... what else would he lie about
You call him your boyfriend and you just realized this? I'm confused
For me, height is not a problem. If he is a good person then that's fine.
He's your online boyfriend. Wait till you find out what else he's lied about
Don't worry he can just put on some heels to compensate, just like women do
