Why are women so heightist, and then complain when it turns out that a man lied about his height?

Most women screen by height on dating apps, so the only way to even get a first date is to lie.

Because when people care about something, they want accurate information.

Sorry you got burned (because this post sounds like it's possibly rooted in "I was turned down for height, started lying about my height, got called out on the lie, I can't win").

But to be blunt, if you're going to use online dating apps, this is what happens. Shallow, looks-based first cut, weeding out people according to purely physical traits. Sick and sad, frankly. Maybe go meet people in real life by joining groups, participating in things, volunteering, joining stuff, finding people who share your interests. But that's hard and takes time and commitment and willingness to do the activities for their own sake because you might or might not ever meet someone....

Have you looked for a dating app that doesn't use height as one of the questions? Because if you stick to apps using height, and you lie, you are going to get dumped every single time after that first date.

Woman here - what don't you understand about the screening process? If a woman wants a man who is at least 5'10" she doesn't want a man who is 5'9" no matter how charming, attractive, etc. he is in person. Lying about your height to get past the filters isn't going to make someone want to go out with you again. Or sleep with you.

Women screening by height is no different than screening by age.

Women are incredibly materialistic & heightist in dating. All they care about is the man’s bank account size.

The fear of short sons, or daughters for that matter.

That’s what most men have to do. It’s not a valid preference to have.

So if a woman posts a picture of her thinner friend when she is heavy set, you'd understand and not be upset?

You realize bank account size isn't a dating app screener, right?

Then why did you say that height matter to them and then contradict yourself with saying only money matters.

Most men have to lie? I'm sorry, but that's BS.

No, you said all they care about is band account.

Because I'm trying to screen for liars and people who feel entitled to waste my time.
