If you wanted to understand, you could have researched it yourself.

There is a more definitive search function than the "A to Z" search at the LDS website, Fred. Searching "Exalted Man" at the LDS.org website yields this:

God an Exalted Man

I will go back to the beginning before the world was, to show what kind of a being God is. What sort of a being was God in the beginning? Open your ears and hear, all ye ends of the earth, for I am going to prove it to you by the Bible, and to tell you the designs of God in relation to the human race, and why He interferes with the affairs of man.

God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. If the veil were rent today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by His power, was to make himself visible—I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image and likeness of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with Him, as one man talks and communes with another.

In order to understand the subject of the dead, for consolation of those who mourn for the loss of their friends, it is necessary we should understand the character and being of God and how He came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see.

These ideas are incomprehensible to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God, and to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did; and I will show it from the Bible.

Which mormon god are you referring to ?

LDS/FLDS Pearl of Great Price, Abraham 4:
1 AND then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the aGods, borganized and formed the cheavens and the earth.
3 And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light; and there was light.
6 And the Gods also said: Let there be an aexpanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall divide the waters from the waters.
18 And the Gods watched those things which they had aordered until they obeyed.

Isaiah 44:6 ‘I am the first and I am the last; beside me there is no god.’"

Isaiah 44:8: ‘You are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.

Isaiah 45:5. ‘I am the Lord, and there is no other, beside me there is no other God; I gird you… that men may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none beside me; I am the Lord, and there is no other.

Like ya’ll have taught before, milk before meat.

I do not believe that some here have learned how to study the less directed answers.

Thanks for reaffirming that we do not teach that God is a man, like some here at FR say we do.

Thanks, good material

Yet they don't even believe their own teachings.

Except the ones that tell them to skirt questions and to deceive.

You'd think they would see the falseness and go to the Savior instead of a man made god.
