Men lying about height

Stop being shallow, OP. Maybe you will find someone if you care a little less about their height, and more about them as a person. You wonder why you and many women are single. Can’t be a nickel looking for a dime. You probably have very unrealistic expectations.

This is incel talk. I'm a 5'7" male and never had any problems. I would just always date people who didn't mind my height. Women use many criteria to evaluate you and height is one of them.

The guy I was absolutely obsessed with in college was probably about 5’7. He was hot and funny and charming and confident in himself. It’s such a turn off when a guy feels like he has to lie to get a date.

Because they are hoping they can get skinnier.
That still doesn't explain why do men lie about their height.

My preference is 5'7" to 5'9" but I've dated men of all heights, including a couple who were shorter than I am.

oof .. we may look stupid together, but we are happy and have beautiful children, together 20 years.

-4'11" dw with 6'2" dh

I could say a couple where the man is a couple of inches shorter than the woman look stupid together, but I won't say that. oops.. just did.

Maybe you looked at us and thought we looked stupid together, and I looked at you when you were with a shorter guy and thought you looked stupid together. That would be pretty funny.

I actually think couples where the guy is more than a foot taller than the woman look weird. It looks like he's with his kid, and I figure he's not manly enough to get a woman remotely close to his height.

or he's man enough to not care what others think of him.

lol…what??

Im a tall man who is more attracted to short women and this is funny. A lot of tall guys prefer short women.

Most do. Short women are naturally more feminine, which also explains why women prefer tall men because it is typically viewed as a masculine trait. I’m 5’1” so as long as a man is taller and larger than me I could care less what his height is.

Short women are naturally more feminine? What kind of a ridiculous statement is that?

And who says being super feminine is an asset?

NP. I think the idea is that short women do not look like men, who are on average taller. Shortie = woman.

Being more petite might also seem more delicate, gentle, vulnerable, needing protection, etc. and other traditionally feminine traits.

+1 When I see a couple where the woman is taller than a guy, I think that she couldn't find a tall man who wants her so she had to settle. I also wonder if she feels kind of masculine and the guy in the relationship, and whether he can even pick her up.

When I see that, I believe it is my duty as a 6' 2" guy to rescue her from the horrifying degradation of dating a manlet. No woman should have to endure that!

I'm a 5'11" woman and my husband is 5 '8". We've been married for 40 years and I don't need rescuing and I certainly don't feel masculine. My husband is smart, confident, can build and fix anything and is still hot as ever at 61.

~tall daughter whose short mother was horrified she grew so much

they are average size, and it's fine.

DH is a bit over 6'2", with long legs, and he finds doing certain things uncomfortable. This world is made for averaged size people.

Like what? I am 6' 2" and the only thing I find uncomfortable is getting in a compact or subcompact car. Happily I don't have to own one of those.

DH has very long legs. He drives a big American SUV, and he still has to put the seat back *all* the way. Counter height hurts his back because it's too low. Airplane seats are difficult for him. Even finding shirts long enough can be a pia. We had a calking for a long time because otherwise, his feet would hang over. Finding reasonably priced calking sheets in stores is not that easy. Those are just a few things I can think of off the top of my head.

It’s not a lie. Just a different starting point to measure from.

Op, if you care so much about height you are as insecure as these men lying about it. Maybe you are a match!?

Clearly some kind of Stockholm Syndrome thing going on here…

It’s easier to lie about height when you’re taller than most women, harder to guess a guys exact height when he’s at least several inches taller than you. I’m 5’5 and can’t lie because most women I date are within an inch or two +- of 5’5 so I’d be found out very quickly.

We had a great chat for a few days, met up yesterday for coffee and I was one inch taller than him: I’m 5’7 😫 I was visibly annoyed but played it cool, we had a great convo during the date and lots in common, but this is bothering me. My friends are saying that I am crazy to discount the connection due to his height, but I am attracted to guys taller than me, and someone lying about their height just bothers me, not the first time that I meet someone much shorter than they listed either, I don’t get it , am I crazy 😩 Also, would you let the person know in these situations? What would you tell them? ‘ sorry the connection is great but you sre much shorter than I expected’? I’d feel bad saying that to someone ! He invited me for dinner and im debating if i should go

Same reason women lie about the weight

Again, women can lose weight. Maybe they were xx lbs and maybe they will be again. But lying about height makes no sense.
