Yes, but this time it's actually relevant to the thread topic. Shock and alarm!

Women expect men to lie about their heights on dating sites. I have myself listed at 6 feet, and several times when I've messaged a girl she's responded back "I usually don't date men under 6 feet, but..."

What's your actual height?

5 11, 6 feet with footwear on

If you are 6 feet I'm like 6 5 lol

edit: start at :50

I just stated I was 5-11...

Well I'm not 6 4 either lol

well that doesnt seem to be working, but if you know seinfeld, im cueing up george wearing timberlands to look taller

He's also 245 lbs with a 6 pack :-D

You're also not 5 inches taller than me.

How many inches taller do you think I am?

I'd put you at 6-2 or 6-3

do guys normally select income? ive never seen it on a girls okc profile

On OKC, no. On Match it's much more common

The height thing is so true. I'm 5'10 and every guy I've met that has 5'10 or 5'11 in their profile has been shorter than me. I've gotten used to assuming most guys are just going to be shorter than me. A little shorter is fine, but it is pretty annoying to meet them and see they're no where near that height, especially when they continue to insist they are 5'10 and they're closer to 5'7 and I'm towering over them.

Many people don't know their true height.

You actually call them out? I've had at least 4 look much worse than pics but I've never had the balls to do it. What happens after that, do they still try to move the date along?

I find that odd. They take my height pretty regularly at the doctor's office along with my weight.

Actually I don't care so much about height, but age & hair are a couple of my hot buttons. A few months back I met a guy who was wearing a baseball cap in all his pictures, he listed himself as having brown hair, and his age was something like 49. When he got there he looked at least 10 years older than his pics & I didn't even recognize him as the same guy. He showed up wearing a hat, so over drinks I finally said "so... let's see what's under the hat?" (half joking but I was super curious so I figured I'd go for it). He was almost completely bald with little grey tufts on both sides of his head.

If there are any older/balding guys here - when you start losing your hair, stop trying to hide it & just own it. If you're bald, just show off that dome because we're going to see it eventually. I don't care if a man doesn't have hair or is losing it, just be honest.

I'd say the same to you guys talking height but sadly I have friends who refuse to date someone below a certain height... so I guess if an inch or 2 gets you the date, it might be worth it to fudge on that.

Yes, because a woman, even a mediocre-looking one, has a lot more options than you do and it's no big loss if she pisses you off.

yowsa: I've always subscribed to the philosophy that it's ******ed to lie about something the other person is going to find out the instant they see you in person, such as height, weight and hair.

Exactly.

Although I can sympathize with the men on the height issue, & it might be something you can get away with - if you're looking for something long term you probably shouldn't start off with a lie.

I won't start off with a lie even if I'm not looking for anything more than tonight. But again that's me and not something I realistically expect from other people or have any practical reason to recommend.

I can never tell the difference between 5'11" to 6'1" and anything above that is unquestionably tall.

Exactly. If you're a legit 5-11 you can say you're 6 foot and no one will ever question you on it
