Men lying about height

[Anonymous]

OP. I’m 5 years when you’re still more than likely single, will you finally put height to rest? A man can’t help his height, just like you can’t help your obnoxious personality. Give him a chance since he seems to be able to tolerate you.

OP, do you put your height in your description? I’m 5’9” and put it in mine — specifically so men could decide to take themselves out of the running if they were 5’8” and lying or couldn’t deal.

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

Phew. He dodged a bullet. A triple 😩 is clearly cray-cray.

I can see why height matters to taller women. But I know lots of women who are my height (5'4") or shorter and will only date men over 6'. Honestly, couples with a huge height difference look stupid together.

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.

I do see women on the apps clearly lying about their age. It's counterproductive because they probably look good for whatever their actual age is, but look like sht for the age they are claiming.

That's funny!

I think if you're a taller woman (say, 5'10 +), it totally makes sense to ask about height. But if you're a woman of average height or shorter, it's a bit unreasonable (or at least a bit unfair) to demand that your partners be of a certain height.

Short and a liar? I wouldn't even entertain that, OP.

95% of the female profile I read vs what I encounter in person and after getting to know them are all lies.

I’m 5’10 and they never lie to me— but they ghost all the time when they figure it out. Not worth them showing up and being shorter, I suppose. Now I guess they can get away with it if the woman is 5’4

Has not been my experience at all. Generally, I find the women I meet more attractive in person when charm, smiles, eyes, etc can be engaged face-to-face.

The one thing many (but not all but many) women lie about though is how active they are and then you meet them and realize how much TV they watch.

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.

No it’s not ok to lie about cup size or age. And honestly I think we should not ask about height. Do OLD apps ask about cup size? That’s gross. If they don’t, height shouldn’t be either

I think someone who is both insecure and dishonest is not likely to be a good long term partner.

It’s the lie, not the height.
