Men lying about height

[Anonymous]

OP were you wearing heels? I think many guys embellish by an inch or two, but five??

Yeah and you might even be able to forgive the “liar” part. 😀

Meh, I'm a little taller than you OP, and I wouldn't care.

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.

DP.

A percentage of women are. So are a percentage of men.

Why do you assume that (last sentence)?

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

Don’t go because he clearly deserves better than your shallow a**.

DP. There's no need to be rude. Would you say the same thing to someone who rejected a woman for appearance-related reasons? And in this case, the dishonesty is an issue.

On average, people who aren't viewed as physically attractive by most have a harder time in the dating world. Because we don't control much of our looks, it's not fair. It would be better if appearance were less important for dating, but everyone has the right to choose not to date someone.

How do you know this about OP? No one can choose their height, but they can choose not to lie.

Why?

Every once in a while you see it, always couched in a bit of a joke.

What do you want to do? If you aren’t attracted to him, don’t go out to dinner with him. Don’t feel pressured by your friends or anyone. You would be wasting your time and his to continue. Be kind (don’t say he’s too short for you) but be direct in that dating app way that makes it obvious without being mean that everyone is moving on.

If you are attracted to him, then go out on another date with him but go knowing that there is a caution flag here. People lie to avoid consequence, sometimes to manipulate, sometimes because of insecurity and maybe all three. Was this a one off for him, is this a pattern in his life, if insecurity is a whole personality trait how else does it manifest in his relationships? I don’t know how you bring it up but if you are attracted to him and feel like you have a connection and are interested in dating him, you don’t want to get too far the dating road without figuring this out.

I'm 6'5". I run into so many women who lie about their age, weight, and status.

I don’t think they should have the height like that on dating apps. It’s almost as bad as having weight would be. I say this as a woman married to a guy who is 5’7. I usually don’t feel bad for guys who complain about women wanting certain physical attributes in their partners, because it’s like “okay welcome to our world,” but to make guys put it right in their bios when people really are prejudiced against short guys? Yeah I don’t think that’s cool.

But I also don’t think it’s great for anybody to outright lie. Just own who you are. There is literally nothing wrong with being short. Or having a small bra size. (I should know, like I said DH is short and I’m a small B cup)
