[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much every man I ever met on a dating website lied about their height unless they were over 6'2".  Those that were that tall gave their real height.  Just shave at least 2" off everyone's profile.  Apparently almost every woman over 40 lies about height/weight, judging by the comments I got from the men I did meet.

Them: You look EXACTLY like your profile picture!
Me: (thinking...because it's a photograph, not an artistic rendering?)

Add an inch to your height if you want to cut back on the men who are too short for you.  The only time that ever backfired a bit was when I met a guy who was 6'8", and he told me I was the shortest woman he'd ever gone out with.  I did apologize to him, even though I was wearing high heels--but that's still a LOT of difference. (His preference was 5'10" and up)[/quote]

Back again to add:

Some people also don't really read your profile info fully.  I went on multiple dates with a Jewish guy who seemed pretty nice.  I'm not Jewish, which was stated in my profile.  On one of the dates he started talking about how it would be a shock to his mother to bring home a nice German Jewish girl who looks so non-Jewish (whatever).  I gave him a funny look and told him that I'm not, at which point he got upset.  Uhm, it's ON MY PROFILE under religion--Catholic.

Another date.  Partway through the date I mention my son. [u] [b]Who is not only listed on my profile[/b][/u] but is in a pic.  Date looks shocked and says he doesn't want to date anyone with kids.  Fair enough but it's ON MY PROFILE.  
I could go on and on.  [/quote]

I'm not sure its fair to expect people to infer that a child in a pic with you is yours.  Lots of profiles out there where the kid is a niece or nephew.  In order not to waste your time I would put it in the profile or mention it prior to meeting.[/quote]

Apparently it's not fair to ask people to read, either. [/quote]
