Men lying about height

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


The men hoping they grow three inches in their forties have just as much likelihood of success as the women hoping they will lose 75 bounds by the weekend

It's really not hard to guess at all. Some of us have tall girlfriends. Or tall brothers and ex boyfriends.

None of them think they’re going to grow. They think that if they don’t get filtered out by putting down their real height, they’ll have a chance to charm her out of her panties when they meet in person.

How do you even know your height without having it done at the Dr office? I mean are you putting notches on the door jamb? Women are lying constantly on their profiles literally about everything.

Usually a guy knows what height he got to when he was fully grown (at 21 or whatever) and assumes he stayed at that height. Which is true enough unless he's old enough that he started shrinking.

Yes, they know they're lying.

Even the parents of some men lie about their height. One of my friends always says her DS is 5'11". I'm 5'8" and have been around her DS when neither of us are wearing shoes. He's clearly shorter than I am. It's absurd. That's a lot to lie about.

I can understand why people might +/- an inch or so, but 3 or 4? Come on.

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 cihldlike, 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.


Fixed that for you.

That’s BS. It’s one thing to claim to be 5’8” if he’s 5’6”, but to exaggerate by 6 inches is insane.

If a woman posted pics where she is 30lb thinner and then showed up heavier, do you know how much rage filled, disgustingly hateful messages she would get?

5lbs, an inch of hight, fine. But don’t show up short and bald unless that shows in your pictures.

I describe my height as an honest 6'2' meaning that I really am that height and frequently 6 inches taller than guys who claim to be 5' 11

I had a physical when I was 21, and I was 6'3". Didn't have another physical for almost 20 years, at which time I was 6'4". I must have grown in my 20s.

Absolutely not! Height is important to women, and men just need to deal with that. This man is extremely, extremely short by male standards. Move on and dont apologize for your preferences. It's evolution and biology, anyway, for women to be attracted to predator/tall provider men.

That's a good idea. As a woman, I've always wondered how very tall men feel about all these short men lying about their height on dating apps. It must be somewhat infuriating!

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.


I mean, regardless of how triggered tall women or short men get about the issue, height is a sexual dimorphic issue. Men are 5 inches taller than women on average, so just like any sexually dimorphic traits, like women having breasts and men not, or men having muscles and women not, tall height is a masculine trait and short height is a feminine trait. Obviously there are plenty of exceptions to this rule and it's not as hard and fast as, say, a man with double d breasts. Another example of this is that most women find a muscular man super hot, whereas many men would not be attracted to a muscular woman. And the reverse is true- a soft, curvy woman is very attractive to most men, whereas a soft, curvy man would be very unattractive to most women. Ditto for hairiness and all the other sex differences. No point in crying over it, it is what is it. But when the PP said that shortness is a feminine characteristic, theyre telling the truth. That's why tall men and short women are both at the tops of the dating pool.

ANd before anyone says it, I am not a short woman- actually above average height. But I'm not delusional.

Soft curvy woman? Megan fox doesn't look soft. Neither do most of the vs models. The fat vs models do look soft though. But nobody wants to see that in lingerie.

But Kim Kardashian does, Marilyn monroe, and many of the top models of old.
