OP here. My weight isn't listed. I'm listed as 'athletic and toned' under body type because it's true. I'm 5' 6" and 135 pounds. I run three times a week and do a bunch of stretching each day.

So you're both the same height?

Was he nice? Is it just the height that's the problem? You'll find out soon enough that unless they're well over 6', all of them are lying about their height. Or are just deluded. My ex SWEARS he's 5'10". He's not, we're the same height, and I'm just slightly under 5'8". Just deluded. (Him, not me. )

Not OP but he lied by 4 inches. I don't care how nice he is, that level of delusion or insecurity or entitlement is unacceptable.

"Entitlement"?

Wow.

Yes, entitlement. He feels entitled to meet and go on a date with her whether he meets her preferences or not. He doesn't get to make the choice for her, and that's what people do when they lie about basic facts because they just "want a chance". That is nothing but a display of entitlement.

I know a guy who lied about college degrees. He had no degree. He lied on Facebook, LinkedIn and on dating sites claiming he graduated from U of MD.

It's bizarre. I've seen women who are CLEARLY 40 claim that theyre late 20's. You can't even have a basic discussion regarding pop culture with these people because theyre still stuck on Jason Priestly and Marky Mark. They don't even know who Logan Lerman is.

Didn't you read the DCUM thread. All women claim they look young for their age.

Don't be silly. I'm 6 even. Why would I lie?

Apparently almost every woman over 40 lies about height/weight, judging by the comments I got from the men I did meet.

Weight, yes, if they're fa- err, "curvy". Height, wouldn't know, don't care what her height is.

Because you're actually 5'10" and either insecure or deluded.

Nope nope. 6 foot, and when my wife made a fuss about being taller than me with her heels on I asked her if she was on drugs for even caring.

That song is why he lied! Women are so mean about height. Did you lie about your weight or your age, OP?

Uuh...this was the PG version of the song. And it wasn’t about height - it was about length.

In he walks... at 5'6". His profile listed at 5'10" and we never talked about it but ... yeesh. I'm just not interested. Do I fade, call him out, or pity myself for being shallow?

Is this any worse than selling yourself as a blonde when your actually a brunette? Or that you may have fake boobs or other cosmetic enhancements?

Yes it is.

No it's not.

He's still a liar. Nothing good looking or rich about being a liar. Even if he was (either of those things) - the lying will not stop - trust me.

EVERYONE lies. Everyone.

He lied about his height, which is stupid because it's immediately apparent he lied. He might have lying problems, he might not. He might be a good guy who has been burned listing his true height because women will not go out with him when he's honest. Who knows.

Men's height is like women's body type/weight: top reasons for filtering and discrimination. Many people exaggerate/lie.

Did you have fun on the date? If not (for any reason), move on.

Online dating is not the problem, it's people. Obviously you can screen immediately for height and body type in person, but it's the other things that come out over time. People are people.

Whatever method you use (online, in person), you'll need to screen, re-screen. Cost of doing business. Don't get caught in negativity about it.

If you otherwise liked this guy, give him another chance. If you didn't otherwise like him OR you can't get over the lie, move on to the next guy.
