I'm actually not! I do love a tall man - the taller the better - but it's not a deal breaker

So why do put a height on the profile when they're clearly not if they are going to be meeting?

Do they think we won't notice?

Same reason they use old pictures that looks nothing like them anymore. I guess they hope that by the time they turn up you'll just say "fuck it, you're here now"

I went on a social a couple of years ago with a guy who had 6 foot on his profile but was more like 5 foot 5 in real life. I asked him why he lied, and he said that most women state they only want tall men and wouldn't talk to him if he had his real height on his profile, and that he hoped that his personality would "impress" me instead.

So I guess that's one perspective

I wasn't aware you could register a profile without indicating your approximate height from the drop down menu.....

Hey we all know that some guys on here struggle taking measurements ...

On our social, will we be sitting down, I might get away with it. If her favourite position is doggy blindfolded, I still can definitely add a couple of inches on my height.

I think of you're under 6' the number of potentially interested women drops to about a half.

Under 5'10" about a third.

Under 5'8" then good luck *sobs*

I have no idea but I'm honest about my height. I'm not short but I do get the feeling I would get more meets if a little taller, hey ho.

As long as they're the same height or taller than me, I don't care. Yes, I love really tall guys but imagine all the super lovely ones you could miss out on by being so specific on your height preferences.

I'm only 5'8" and of course that limits the ladies who are interested but it's never held me back it's just how it is. That said my ex wife was taller than me and I've just started seeing a lady who is 5'10"

I'm 6' so yes, I do prefer a man the same height as me, I also like to wear heels, so I'm topping put at around 6'4" then.

I'm strong & want a man who can physically match that.

Saying that my long term FB is only 5'9" but he's built like a brick outhouse!

I always said I was 5'8 but after having a medical last year I was told I was 5'9,

Even before I left the medical centre I updated my profile,

Every inch helps

I'm 6'2. Most women I've met have been shorter than me. I did meet a really tall one once though, she turned up in heels and I had to look up to her.

Nope - he was a total plank in terms of personality as well as being a few stone over the "athletic" body type he claimed to have

It's a shame that you'd only feel feminine if the guy was taller.

That would mean I would only feel masculine if the woman was shorter, yet I've stood next to taller woman and felt amazing.

You've got nice abs! And 5 9 is ok height wise, it's the guys that are like 5 6 or less that will find it tougher I think x

I can back that up, you were the same height as me when we met.

Thankfully it isn't a deal breaker for the lovely OP I for one am always honest about being a shortie

I'm 5'8 and those that know me know I love to wear the old stripper boots out - I mean 'out out' not out Tesco

I have arranged many a meet with a 5'10 guy knowing I'm still gonna be over 6'0 and when they arrive I don't think they are actually over 5'7

Yes I prefer tall guys but yes I've met some right hotties that are shorter but please just be honest and I will put my flats on instead

That's all folks

I've never encountered a man lying about his height.

Although being a tall bird i'd not really notice anyway.

No issues with height here.

I once had a meet where the guy said he was over 6ft, so I wore heels as I am a short arse at 5'2, turns out he was shorter than me, which just didnt work

I prefer my meets to not be too tall, I do not like straining my neck to kiss

I am not sure what all the fuss is about over really tall men.

I personally prefer a guy who is a similar height or just a little taller than me. Dont want to stand on tiptoe or crane my neck to have a snog!
