Height issues...

I must have met at least ten men who state on their profile 5'10 etc.

Turn up and they're my height

Wtf?

They think I won't notice?

Is this as common as I think?

There and to the left a bit

Chatted to someone once who told me she turned up for a social meet with a guy (who had told her he was 5'11") who was sat on a barstool when she got there so she joined him, they chatted for sometime and got on really well and agreed they'd meet at a later date for something more intimate, when they got up to go and he got off the bar stool he was the same height as her (5ft 6") and she immediately told him to forget any idea of meeting again, but asked him why he did it..his response was that he thought if he could charm her during their social she'd overlook the height

She told him that if he'd been honest from the start she may have overlooked it, but the fact he'd lied had blown it.

I can’t see the point in telling porkies about your height. Unless you’re gonna turn up in Cuban heels you ain’t getting away with it and setting the other person up to be let down. I’m 5ft 8 so vertically challenged by today’s standards but you gotta rock with what your given, if you’re short so be it

I have no issue with 5'8 like a chap to be taller than me, the taller the better.

Just a waste of my time to turn up if you're shorter than me and have lied about it

There's another side / unfortunate truth to this, though. Which is if he'd been up front about being 5'6 instead of 5'11 there's a good chance the social meet wouldn't have happened at all.

As someone who is 5'11, I will fully admit to the very strong temptation to lie about height and just claim to being 6'+... knowing full well that it seems to often be THE most important trait women look for in potential mates (see the "what do women look for most / first" thread) in addition to 6 feet being the most common cut-off point.

However having said that, lying about it to get meets / dates is ultimately foolish and fruitless, seeing as that person will, y'know, actually end up seeing you. Adding an inch? MAYBE two? Might get away with it. But 5'6 to 5'11? That's just asking for trouble, honestly.

I think the answer lies in two things; men just being more honest about themselves to women in general, and women being perhaps a bit more flexible and understanding when it comes to guys who are shorter than 6' - these two things reinforce each other.

Just my two pennies.

I'm not surprised some men are economical with the truth on here. There's so much competition and it's so difficult to get noticed that it's no wonder they try to gain any advantage they can.

With the number of people who say that looks are unimportant and that it's a connection that's the main thing for them they probably think it's worth a try.

I'm not keen on people who misrepresent themselves but I can understand why they do it.

I agree and understand why some might have the perception it's necessary to "improve their chances" - however as someone who hasn't lied about anything on here (height, age, ability and anything else) and who is past his prime and yet have had a very fulfilling experience from the site, I'd suggest honesty is the best policy but needs to come with an acceptance and understanding of how the site works.

Men and women are partly the product of the society they live/evovle in.

From the number of threads praising taller guy to the edge of saying that being taller is better (in their opinions), it is not too far fetched to infer that the men who felt inferior in term of height or lacking of any physical requirements that some ppl ask you to have on their profiles, that they just wanted to feel included.

As sad as it seems (lying about yourself to feel included) , it is somehow understandable from a sociological perspective.

Ahhh yes the height thing.

I've met someone that told porkies about his height- I can't remember what he said he was - but he was shorter than me and I don't wear heels

He turned out to be a lovely guy so maybe the lie worked

I think men lie about their height and a lot of women post pictures that are angled to make them look slimmer.

I’ve had at least 3 guys on here state they are 5’11-6ft and when I’ve met them in person they’ve been shorter than me in flat and i’m 5’5.

As I I like taller men it’s so frustrating but if I like them height isn’t an issue.....just be honest!

Honesty is far more attractive to me.

The real problem is that women's brains don't understand a man's measurement system. I'll explain, if a fella says he is going for a pint, he clearly means gallon. If he tells you "it's 9 inches", he just read the tape upside down. If you tell him, you're a size 12,he automatically knows you're a 14.Whats so hard to understand?

Yeah this. I think if men can understand that women have the pick of the bunch on here then perhaps ladies might understand how that could drive some men to feel inadequate. Not condoning it but I'm empathetic enough to understand.

Personally I feel a lie is worst when it leads to someone getting hurt. Who's being hurt in this situation? Most likely the person being rejected for lying rather than the person asserting their boundaries. Let them. People will learn. The truth will out.

"I'm not surprised some men are economical with the truth on here. There's so much competition and it's so difficult to get noticed that it's no wonder they try to gain any advantage they can.

With the number of people who say that looks are unimportant and that it's a connection that's the main thing for them they probably think it's worth a try.

I'm not keen on people who misrepresent themselves but I can understand why they do it.

Yeah this. I think if men can understand that women have the pick of the bunch on here then perhaps ladies might understand how that could drive some men to feel inadequate. Not condoning it but I'm empathetic enough to understand.

Personally I feel a lie is worst when it leads to someone getting hurt. Who's being hurt in this situation? Most likely the person being rejected for lying rather than the person asserting their boundaries. Let them. People will learn. The truth will out."

Women don't need to lie about their height but you can be sure they conceal the truth about other things.

The average UK heights are 5'10" for a man and 5'4" for women.

I always thought I was average height at 6'2" I must just be surrounded by tall people.

Me too - and sadly I think the ‘looks are unimportant’ brigade are lying to themselves to a large extent. Looks are important to all of us I think - we have to be attracted to someone in order to want to have sex with them - and physical attraction is a large contributor to that.

The fortunate thing, though, is that everyone’s idea of attractive is different - so there’s hope for all of us!

I'm short and every woman seems to want a tall man. Most state it on their profile.

I am honest on my profile but get a lot of rejection because of it.

I'm sure that people lie so they can get past the first hurdle of getting a response and feel that if they meet, their other qualities may win over their potential new lover.

This is a superficial site. The profile asks for age and height rather than intelligence, sense of humour or kindness.

I think that is the problem. People that say "looks aren't important" I think, mean, you don't have to be, what is considered, conventionally or even fashionably, good looking,which skews what they mean when they say that. Looks are definitely an important factor when choosing someone to have sex with, despite that phrase... Saying that... I like short men, they tend to have good thighs and nice bums... I have done alot of research

men and women lie about all kinds of things on profiles but not everyone, it's a good way to figure if someone has any integrity and is honest even if it takes a social first but I've often found you can trip up a lier in conversation if you take your time. Either way as soon as you find they're liars just walk away, there is no excuse as they clearly don't respect others and are selfish.

"Chatted to someone once who told me she turned up for a social meet with a guy (who had told her he was 5'11") who was sat on a barstool when she got there so she joined him, they chatted for sometime and got on really well and agreed they'd meet at a later date for something more intimate, when they got up to go and he got off the bar stool he was the same height as her (5ft 6") and she immediately told him to forget any idea of meeting again, but asked him why he did it..his response was that he thought if he could charm her during their social she'd overlook the height

She told him that if he'd been honest from the start she may have overlooked it, but the fact he'd lied had blown it.

This is it exactly!

I cannot abhor lies

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm actually 5'11 "

Its funny you say that. Sometimes I have to re check my hight as so many guys from parties firmly believe they're 6'1 or 6'2 but they're my hight 6'0. Not only that a few girls have thought I was a bit taller too

I’ve not really experienced this but then I tend to be taller than most men I’ve met anyway.

Height of a man doesn’t really bother me to be honest, as long as they don’t have a hang up about their height and bang on about it. I’m confident about my height and it doesn’t make me feel self conscience (except for that time in Ireland) and I don’t appreciate others with insecurities trying to make me feel bad to make themselves feel better. Thankfully that has been a rare experience.

While there is some value in getting to know people as a means to deciding attraction regardless of any of those factors - it's a natural and instinctive thing to do to rule people put because of all of those and more (you do so yourself on at least one of them with your age range) - it's just here it is written down that people make an issue out of it either by stating that preference in writing or feeling the need to lie about it.

We all do it every day of our lives with people we come across in the real world, we just don't overtly state it as we would on here.

Whichever way you look at it though, lieing about something like height is a ridiculous move that will get you nowhere.

The issue is inaccurate height measuring facilities. I spent at least 10 years thinking I was 5’11 because when I measured myself at Chester zoo up against the Giraffe height measuring thing it definitely said I was 5’11.

Only last year I found out I had been living a lie and I’m actually 5’10.......

I've just measured mine in decades... As I'm 58, it makes my penis nearly 6 decades old

"I must have met at least ten men who state on their profile 5'10 etc.

Turn up and they're my height

Wtf?

They think I won't notice?

Is this as common as I think?

Saira x"

Yeah, it's common. I've had loads of socials and the guys turn up and are shorter than me. Or looked sod all like their pics.

Excuses being.... "well we're the same height lying down"..... or "it makes no difference when we're in bed".... "it's just a fuck, it shouldn't matter"

5ft 5 here, never did very well with the ladies when I was younger and I got told often it's down to my height. Like wise when I've been on dating sites and should imagine same happens on here too. However I'm not overly ugly, yes it helps I have a hot blonde on my arm but we have both had good success in clubs, for me building a rapour has always helped. Much easier to do that face to face (or face to boob in my case at times) been many times we've been chatting to couples in a club and Lambrini gives me the nod it's not going to happen and when I've questioned as to why not, he's a strapping young handsome bloke? I've been told and he knows it and is arrogant about it.

Tbh I don’t meet men but I would probably think they were telling porkies if they claimed they were taller than a minimum of 5’6 (as my lowest heels are 6“), and we were the same height x

Just don’t see the point. Viv x

The only ‘height issue’ I have is at 6’6, genuinely, is finding a tall enough lass to have standing up sex with!

Ohhh that makes me cringe 'same height laying down'

And for me, I'm not looking for just a fuck

Fortunately I've not had the latter statement so far

Oh God, the struggle is real. It's awkward even with women who are over six feet tall.

Really? Why would you do that? It’s not like it isn’t obvious when you turn up is it

I’m only just 5’8” it’s not a great height to be to be fair but I am who I am I can’t claim to be any taller even in Cuban heels. Some folk.

Had this with a guy I was seeing actually amusing that he puts himself on here as 6ft. I was taller than him in my heels

My point exactly!

It's not a deal breaker.

Lying is

"Chatted to someone once who told me she turned up for a social meet with a guy (who had told her he was 5'11") who was sat on a barstool when she got there so she joined him, they chatted for sometime and got on really well and agreed they'd meet at a later date for something more intimate, when they got up to go and he got off the bar stool he was the same height as her (5ft 6") and she immediately told him to forget any idea of meeting again, but asked him why he did it..his response was that he thought if he could charm her during their social she'd overlook the height

She told him that if he'd been honest from the start she may have overlooked it, but the fact he'd lied had blown it.

There's another side / unfortunate truth to this, though. Which is if he'd been up front about being 5'6 instead of 5'11 there's a good chance the social meet wouldn't have happened at all.

As someone who is 5'11, I will fully admit to the very strong temptation to lie about height and just claim to being 6'+... knowing full well that it seems to often be THE most important trait women look for in potential mates (see the "what do women look for most / first" thread) in addition to 6 feet being the most common cut-off point.

However having said that, lying about it to get meets / dates is ultimately foolish and fruitless, seeing as that person will, y'know, actually end up seeing you. Adding an inch? MAYBE two? Might get away with it. But 5'6 to 5'11? That's just asking for trouble, honestly.

I think the answer lies in two things; men just being more honest about themselves to women in general, and women being perhaps a bit more flexible and understanding when it comes to guys who are shorter than 6' - these two things reinforce each other.

Just my two pennies."

I can only speak for myself.

I have to be attracted to the face

Prefer tall men but not a deal breaker. My ex was 5'2 and probably still is lol

Perhaps we need to be more flexible in how we express things. I grew up and was 4 and 3/4 years old etc but adults have become more rigid. We'd improve things if we used centimetres for height, so there wasn't a golden cut off point for men. I know there's a cm equivalent to 6', that someone will post shortly but once you cms in the hundreds, it seems a smaller thing.
